No, they're not.  That type of cutter takes a hefty amount of pressure.

 

You are right.  I bought the Vidalia Chop Wizard Pro Max the other day.  The first thing I tried was slicing strawberries.  They got smooshed.  Yesterday I tried it on celery and green onions and I couldn't apply enough pressure to dice/slice either.  Today I'm sending it back.

I noticed in the advertising videos the strength needed to press the blades through the vegetables was what would be a struggle for many people. 

 

Also, how would you ever sharpen it?

We dealt with the strength issue by judicious slicing (so we weren't trying to push, say, an entire potato through at once) but that may be too peevesome for some people. My husband thought it perfect; I used knives mostly although I found the chopper quite useful for some purposes.

 

As for sharpening: in years of use, I've never found the need to do so.

They are pretty cheap, so I'm not worried about sharpening.  And I'm a BIG girl - I just put my weight on top of it, and it WORKS! 😁
