“I’d tried several manual and semi automatic fry chippers in the past, but could never find one that was to my satisfaction. I researched again in December and found the Hopkins website. Its claims were impressive. I purchased the HC1 French Fry Cutter in early January. I steadily dumped 100Ibs. of 8oz-18oz potatoes into the chipper and the process was complete in less than 2 minutes! The fries were perfectly cut. I compared 100Ibs. of fries with a manual cutter (took approx. 10 mins and some fatigue!). There was no noticeable difference in the volumes of fries cut from each test, and no difference in the amount of small slivers/waste. This machine is compact, quiet, easy to clean, and quality built. I would never spend time writing reviews on anything, but this was very worthy of commenting on. I plan to purchase a second one when my next restaurant opens.”

” I was tired of constantly dealing with expensive parts and repairs, and regularly replacing or tightening belts on our old belt driven potato peeler. Not to mention how hard it was to get someone to service it. When I found Hopkins PEI online. I immediately called them. They helped me through the whole process. They explained to me that their peeler is gear driven for consistent power when peeling potatoes. Way better than the belt driven ones. Easy cleaning too. Very competitively priced to other makes and models. Had to make a few modifications to suit our needs, but the service was excellent. They stayed with me right to the point of peeling potatoes in the restaurant. They also followed up to see how everything was going. Never got that from other companies. It’s been a year now with zero problems.”
