Did not purée my pesto
I bought this because it stated that it could purée apple sauce, thinking it could make good pesto. I was wrong. My pesto could not get puréed enough and still had pieces of basil that were too large. Should have just bought the regular mini food processor.
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 1 month ago
We're sorry to hear the Core Custom 4 Cup Chopper did not meet your expectations. As a chopper, this model is designed for lighter prep tasks and has more limited processing capabilities than our full-size food processors, which may be better suited for recipes like pesto that require a finer, smoother consistency. For best results, cutting ingredients into smaller pieces and processing in batches may help improve texture, but we also offer a variety of food processor models that may better match your needs. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us continue improving our products and helping consumers find the best solution for their kitchen needs.

Don't buy
It doesn't work and it's the 1st time I used it. Was a gift. I thought Cuisinart was a good brand
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 2 months ago
We’re sorry to hear the chopper did not work on first use, especially as it was a gift, and we understand how disappointing that must be. For troubleshooting, we recommend ensuring all components are properly aligned and securely locked into place, as the unit will not operate unless assembled correctly. Our team would be happy to assist further and review your experience—please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901026029. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it helps us improve future products and overall performance.

These keep braking pieces to be able to chop! This is the 2nd or 3rd I have bought and I am not happy having to chop by hand with arthritis!!!
1 reply from Product Expert team - 4 months ago
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Cuisinart Core Custom 4-Cup Mini Chopper—we’re sorry to hear about the repeated issues with components breaking, especially given how important convenience is for your needs. For best results, we recommend avoiding overfilling and ensuring ingredients are cut into smaller, even pieces to help reduce strain on internal parts during processing. This is not the experience we want for our consumers, and we would like to review your situation to explore possible warranty options or solutions. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900779387, and thank you again—your feedback helps guide improvements for future models.

Stopped working after only a couple of months
Unfortunately this stopped working after only a couple of months. I tried all troubleshooting options online and on YouTube and even troubleshooting on phone but nothing worked. I had registered my warranty and when I contacted to utilize it there was a huge run around and hoops to jump through but they finally agreed to send me a new one after I cut the cord on the broken one. Understand about cutting the cord but adding more plastic and electric device to landfill stinks.

We’re happy to hear we were ultimately able to assist with a warranty replacement for your Core Custom™ 4‑Cup Chopper, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced along the way. We understand your concerns regarding disposal, and the cord‑cutting step is a standard safety requirement to ensure non‑operable units cannot be reused. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, as it helps us improve future models and customer experience.

Better food, quickly made for all cooks.
What’s most important to me is this device’s ability to save me time and also money. i’m a single guy and I prefer to cook every day and I don’t like pre-prepared frozen meals. Onions, peppers, garlic, all chop in seconds. Homemade vinaigrettes, salad dressings and marinades happen in seconds, and taste better than bottled ones from the supermarket—preservative- free with fresh ingredients guarantee a better taste. Of course I still use my larger Cuisinart, but this food processor I use almost every day and it gives my chef’s knife a break. Don’t forget salsa, guacamole, and tapenades.

Disappointed
Purchased it several weeks ago, use it once, it worked. Now I want to use it again and it won't work, it's dead. I checked everything, plug, power supply, bowl and cover well set, nothing helps. Very disappointed.

We’re sorry to hear about the issues with your Conair 4-cup food processor. It sounds like you’ve checked all the basic connections, and we’d like to help troubleshoot further. Please ensure the bowl and lid are fully seated and the unit is on a level surface, and try pressing the reset button if your model has one. If it still does not operate, contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket #8900563392 so our team can assist with repair or replacement options.

Great for food prep
This is a high quality little food chopper as I would expect from Cuisinart. After hand surgery this chopper has been a huge help. It does take a bit of practice at first but after a little trial and error I find this easy to use. Don’t let the small size fool you. It does hold 4 cups. Every part is dishwasher safe so clean up is not a problem. Stores well too. I’m very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend!

Perfect size for me and powerful two speeds,
I replaced my old Cuisinart mini chopper with this 4 cup two speed model. 4 cusps is, for me, a good size and I really like the reversing two speed design. I have made butter, chopped vegies and course spices. Works perfectly. The two speeds are great for making butter too.

Simple, easy, does exactly what it's supposed to.
While we have a food processor, for smaller batches the 4 cup chopper provides a good base for rough/fine chops of vegetables. The buttons are basic, the cup large enough for a single medium to large onion, and the device does a fine job of chopping vegetables. The bowl is easy to clean, and a rinse between each vegetable chopped is all that's needed before proceeding to the next vegetable prep.

Does what it's supposed to do very well
Not much to say other than if you want a quick way to chop or puree, this does the job very well. Furthermore, given that it's just a blade, bowl and lid cleanup - hand wash or dishwasher - is quick.

Small but mighty little chopper!!
A gift from my d-i-l. She recently got one for herself and I was interested in its functions and design. It's small but mighty and takes little space on my countertop. I was very impressed my first use; chopping fresh thyme and garlic, then mixing my goat and cream cheeses with some honey. It was perfect in such little time. I don't know how I've lived without this and it's become a regular part of my daily food prep. Thank you Cuisinart!

Perfect for smaller tasks.
Simple and perfect for small jobs. If you need to chop or mince a small amount and don’t want to break out—or clean—your big Cuisinart, this machine is what you need.
