Its frame is made of lightweight, cast aluminum. It has a weighted ergonomic handle to ensure produce is easy to cut, without causing unnecessary strain on operators. It has strong stainless steel blades that stay sharp for longer. They slice and chop a variety of vegetables in perfect 1\/4\" thick slices in just one chop!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also comes with many new features that make it easier to use.
