I hate chopping onions, so I got one of those miracle chopper type gadgets. Normally I despise kitchen gadgets, but this is excellent, because you just put it on top of the onion and press the handle down, and it chops it. Keep pressing down and the curved blade rotates, chopping the onion finer and finer, and keeping it all contained within the gadget, until you're done. No more stinging eyes!
It's something rather like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001IWZE0/qid=1121121143/sr=1-8/ref=sr_1_11_8/026-5744780-1670856
and works for onions, garlic, peppers, and anything else that's choppable. I am not affiliated with any gadget companies, but this has made a big difference to my life, so I thought I'd mention it.
As far as I know! Though I don't have a dishwasher for ecological reasons (oh yeah and I'm too tight).
I'm always suspicious of gadgets advertised as being 'easy to clean', as they usually aren't, but this is quite easy - you can just rinse the blade under the tap, no need to take it apart. Though if you do want to, it unscrews with one turn.
