Query: Works well so far

We've used this a couple of times already and it works well. After washing and scrubbing them, we did zap the potatoes in a microwave for a minute before cutting just to soften them up a bit to get started (obviously this wouldn't have cooked them all the way through, nor did we want to), based on recommendations in some of the earlier reviews here.The blades are sharp and the whole unit cleans up pretty easily. The hold-down works well on our counter, but wouldn't on a cutting board. I looked at heavier duty fry cutters, but they were all much more expensive, and I think this will last a long while for our occasional usage of it. I wouldn't want to go back to cutting French fries by hand, after using this, that's for sure. We cut up a dozen potatoes in about a minute.
