I purchased a Nemco 57500-3 1/2" Easy Chopper III Vegetable Dicer through a distributor. Only 3 months after investing nearly $400 into this unit a blade breaks off entirely. I was told the warranty for a unit that is specifically built for the use of the blades does not cover blades. When speaking with someone in customer service there was no effort given to help resolve the issue.
