Hello, rabbi
I have a vegetable cutter [small food processor] that I use all year round just for vegetables, I’ve never used it for chametz.
Do I need to buy a special vegetable cutter for Passover?
It is worth mentioning that I also use the vegetable cutter to chop onions.
Thank you
Hello and blessings
If the vegetable cutter was not used for fermented foods (chametz), but only for chopping and grinding vegetables, according to the Sephardim, it is not necessary to buy a new vegetable cutter for Passover, just wash it to be able to use it on Passover.
However, according to the opinion of the Ashkenazim, it is preferable not to use it during Passover, and only in case of necessity is it permitted.
Although those interested in being rigorous can purify the vegetable cutter’s knives to meet all opinions.
With best wishes for a kosher and happy Passover
Rabbi David Ohayon

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
