Weston clone; not worth the money
By Comdet
I wanted a french fry cutter, but the plastic ones looked like they would not last very long. I was initially going to buy the Weston model, but saw the LEM model. It's the same as the Weston, but it comes with two cutters (3/8 and ½) rather than just one as the Weston does. I wanted both sizes, and this model was much less expensive than the Weston once the second cutter was added.It was impressive in terms of weight. This is all metal, with the plastic parts limited to the push plate (the plate that holds the potato in place). That's good, but only if the parts are properly machined. In this case, it's made very poorly. Parts do not fit together well at all. At best, that makes it difficult to use. At worst, as in my case, it makes it non-functional.Even before I had a chance to use it, the back frame snapped. It probably had a weak joint during manufacturing, and it snapped as easily as a twig when I was assembling it.On the plus side, the Lem customer service was very nice. I called them, and after just a couple of minutes of information exchange, they said a replacement frame would be sent to me. The rep also stated that they were getting a number of calls about the frame, so mine was not an isolated incidence.I was able to work around the frame issue and got it assembled. It does not work well. Yes, it's better than a plastic potato cutter, but not by much. The blades are not very sharp, and require a significant amount of force to get a potato through. Forget about sweet potatoes - this will barely deal with dense white potatoes.I ended up returning it since it does not come close to being worth the price charged. A big thank-you to J&R Electronics, as they made the return process quick and easy.I'm giving it two stars rather than one, since it has the potential to be a decent operating machine if you:1. Bolt it to a table. The suction cup feet flex too much to offer a stable platform.2. Get out a file and tap and die set, and re-machine the parts that were poorly made in the factory. Replace weak fasteners with better ones.If you're not willing to do the above, don't bother with this.

Great french fry cutter
By Farm boy
Great french fry cutter;; works great ;; just what I wanted. Cuts sweet potato as well as onions and other potatos. I think every one would like to use this.

Didn't make French Fry cutting easy for me....
By G. Kirk
The first unit came and was so mistreated in shipping that the frame was broken, heavy cast aluminum, due to thin and paltry packaging from factory, Amazon sent me a second one fast as lightning and once again the styrfoam was destroyed but the unit was intact. Using it is another matter, it takes enormous strength to operate, and it seems like the blades aren't even sharp, the suction cup option is a joke, and it pulled the first 4 screws loose that I mounted it with. Not a happy purchase, it didn't help in my kitchen, it takes a lot more effort than I want to give, not just push the handle down as advertised.
