There is a BIG difference between the old and the new! The old one is not as round,or as sleek looking. It has, a spring running up from the cup to the top of the plunger, has a plastic guard that fits onto the blades, that can be a real pain in the hinny to get on sometimes. The part that you push is a white disc about the size of a half dollar, and flat. So when you have a lot of chopping to do, or have a firmer item to chop, it can start hurting the palm of your hand. Where as the new choppers plunger has a rounded, what I tell my guests, a "hand friendly" push top.
My old one works just fine, but PC did a great job redesigning it to be more people friendly!

This allows for a better grip and easier use of the new chopper.6. Cleaning: The old chopper can be disassembled for easy cleaning, while the new chopper has a one-piece design that is easier to clean and maintain.7. Accessories: The new chopper comes with a scraper attachment that helps to scrape food off the sides while chopping, something that the old chopper does not have.Overall, the new chopper has improved design and functionality compared to the old chopper, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
