So far so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve used it a couple of times so far after buying it to replace our Magic Bullet, and it’s been great. The only downside is that you need to keep an eye on the fill level, as overfilling it even slightly can make things messy. On the plus side, it’s very easy to clean thanks to the removable blade. Overall, we’re happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

Disappointed
At this price and brand name, I expected better. The pieces feel flimsy, don’t fit smoothly together; I didn’t even wash it to observe how it chops. Back in the box, disappointed.

Good one!
Good one! This is my second KitchenAid food chopper. The first one still works well after so many years using it at least once/week. I just wanted a new one with same color because it was on sale.

Great Little Food Processor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a work horse. Chops & purée’s perfectly. Doesn’t take up much space on my counter. Easy to use. I don’t have to take out my big food processor. Holds 3 1/2 cups. Love the KitchenAid brand.

Exactly what I wanted
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was after a small blender that didn't take up much room and was quick and easy to clean, I got exactly that with the mini food chopper and I am very pleased with it.

Leaks. Do not buy this one.
Instructions are unhelpful and it took forever to figure out how to use it. Leaks out the entire lid and makes a huge mess. Do not buy this one.

What a piece of junk.
It can’t handle the simplest of tasks. Chopping is too fine and puree is to course. Can’t make a simple mirepoix or humus. Useless waste of money.

Garbage. Acoid
I have no idea why this thing has so many high ratings, it’s a complete piece of garbage, it’s built like something you would get at the dollar store honestly it came with zero instructions on how to use, and I had to dig through multiple layers of the Internet for even basic instructions.

Didposabke Mini-Chopper
Buyer Beware: check online for other reviews that clearly show this item has many flaws, from frustrating lid to problems with premature failure. Kitchen Aid does not stand behind this product and offers no solutions past the 1 year warranty. If you just need a disposable mini-chopper, the Kitchen Aid KFC3516 will be perfect for you! Otherwise, the score is a ZERO stars!
