Easy to use and so Convenient!
My friend and I were having a holiday cookie baking day and her husband has this food chopper. I loved it so much that as soon as I got home I ordered one. It is great for chopping just about anything and is easy to clean. So much easier than hauling out the full size food processor.

Solid Small Food Processor
Very efficient little food processor. It's great at what it does. I wish there were large basins that could be switched out, but this works great for its size.

High quality and well thought out
I bought this to replace a 2 cup food processor, and it’s been a perfect size between that and my larger 12 cup. I find 3.5 cups is a perfect sweet spot for the majority of my food processor needs. This is very well designed food processor, both in terms of quality (note I’ve only been using it for about a month) and in terms of features. Elements like how the cord tucks in, how the handle functions as a button, and the built in spout show the attention to design. It’s been plenty powerful enough for chopping veggies, and puréing sauces and pastes. It looks nice sitting on the counter when using, too. Would recommend.

Don't waste your money. Choose another brand. The lid is impossible to separate for cleaning. I won't use anything I can't clean properly, and ripped my nails into the nail bed trying to open it even after reading instruction and video over andover, so may as well pitch in the garbage. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Prepping Without Stress
Amazing! I recently began making food for two kittens. My old food processor was making a gallant effort for me, but struggled. This one is strong and fast. I now complete the process in short order. My stress level is zero.

Love This Chopper
This Kitchen Aid Chopper is a great little chopper. My old Kitchen Aid Chopper was a little smaller then this one and not quite as powerful as this newer model. My old Kitchen Aid Chopper was 23 years old and still going strong. I gave it to a family member. Kitchen Aid is the best.

Helpful Little Kitchen Gadget
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I’m so amazed at all the jobs that this little food chopper can do. From pesto to pie dough. And so little, it stores easily. Love it!!

Food Chopper 3.5 cup
The machine is great. The one issue I have is the lid (top) is it's a little difficult to clean & dry. For the size, it does a grat job.

Better than the old model!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The 1st one I bought didn't work, or I couldn't get it to work, so I took it back to the store. The next one I bought I got it to work and it works great! I had the old model, which I had no complaints about, but this new one is even better. It would be nice if there were some instructions on how to get it to work, though. I had to go on YouTube to find out how to make it function.

The workhorse!
I love this little workhorse! I use it once a week for 4-5 hours at a time to make food for my dog and it's amazing. It takes big pieces of fish, sweet potatoes and many noodles, blends them down to a sticky mush. Then I add water and switch it to puree and voila, a perfect smooth meal for my pup. I can make over a weeks worth of food. The parts are very easy to clean as I'm using it, then also easy to wash in the dishwasher. I couldn't be happier.

Great price does the job
I got this a a gift and love it chops things so quick, and evenly, and it is easy to clean. I use it almost every day. Also, holds surprisingly a lot of ingredients, it takes up little counter space love how the cord wraps around the base. When I found out the price I thought it had cost so much more than it did. Really am impressed and would recommend to others.
