Electric onion chopper/slicer that really works?

If anybody here has one that really does the job well, please tell me which one you're using.
I've been hunting for ages for an onion chopper (a bonus if it slices also) either manual or electric and none have done the job. I know there are pro-kitchen choppers that would be great but they take up too much room in a home kitchen, so continuing my apparently elusive search for a home model.
Yes have had a succession of them, all either too flimsy or couldn't or wouldn't chop well. Have just read the reviews for products as diverse as the "Slap Chop" and "Pampered Chef" choppers to the electric Compact and Black & Decker models where the negative reviews were the majority.
I'm willing to pay for a really good product if it exists, and hope there's someone here who can tell me if it does.
We have a very good slicer BTW but of course it doesn't chop.
Thanks much for any info on my quest.

Shel, since you specified one that really works, I can't help you.

Truly, I haven't seen anything that chops, vs. grinds or just pulverizes, that would fill that gap between cheap infomercial gadget and food processor (which would overprocess an onion). Good luck, though.

I've seen manual models in a restaurant supply. You place an onion on the criss-crossed blades and press the handles down. They looked much better than the TV infomercial types.

Yeah, I'd try a restaurant supply store as well, although I can't say I've ever seen one.

I've tried several and nothing works like a good chef's knife and good knife skills. On occasion I've used my food processor but the results are never perfect. If you are chopping many onions for a long slow cooked stew or braise, it won't matter, I suppose, to have a few mushy bits.

Heck Shel, who needs electricity? Check these out. http://www.nextag.com/onion-dicer/stores-html Then of course if those are a little steep, this might fit a little better. http://www.nextag.com/onion-chopper/shop-html Or, if you like Amazon.com and have a few more bucks to spend, try these. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=s ... &x=11&y=15

Thanks Bob, will check them out, some of those brands new to me. Actually electric choppers not mandatory, but as never found a manual one that worked, thought that maybe one with juice does.
Kinda ridiculous isn't it, all our technology and know-how and to date haven't found one decent onion chopper. Maybe the links Bob provided will change my mind.

Shel, I hope you saw all those smilies at the bottom of my reply!

If you're like me, it all breaks down at the "good knife skills" part.

Today I saw a "Bonzai Chopper" for $20 in K-Mart. No idea if it's good or bad.

Afraid that the user reviews on the Bonzai are as bad as the price is good.
FYI, my knife skills are decent, just tired of showing how good they are with onions and looking for an alternative.
