KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Ice Blue Food Chopper

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Easy to store. Does the job well. I had previously gotten another name brand that looked pretty much the same, but wasn’t easy and discouraged me from wanting to use. This one was so much better designed. It held a bit more and still did the job better so that it was a pleasure using.

Pros:
Looks great. The color is brilliant, the design of the base is charming
Has a small footprint. It occupies so little space
Processes well. As long as you don’t fill it up much, this will chop and puree just fine.

Cons:
It’s too small. The container is 3.5 cups but in order to get a uniform job, you’re dont want to put any more that 1.5 cups of stuff inside. There are bigger options at this price point.
Lid and assembly design doesn’t feel good. The top lid doesn’t have a perfect seal when you’re operating it and might spew some contents out. Putting the whole thing together requires you to lock plastic parts together and that doesn’t inspire any confidence in its durability
The “On” button doesn’t seem to be a great design. It’s cool the first time when you press down on the lid and the processor goes wrrr cuz it’s pretty different from other processors that have buttons on the base. However once you use it a couple more times, you might find yourself worrying about the durability and effectiveness. It’s not particularly thick plastic with all sorts of little pieces and areas where food can get stuck in. The machine requires you to bend parts of it down to trigger it on and that’s doesn’t feel like it’s gonna last.

Kitchen Aid has made a reliable effective chopper in a small size. Easy to clean, easy to use, and the small size is appropriate for small needs. For large chopping we use a Breville Food processor, but the clean up for small needs is excessive for the job. The kitchen aid adds to the versatility of chopping food.

I had been given an old Kitchen Aid food processor from a family member and it finally bit the dust after 20 years. I am hopeful this will last as long. I like its compact size and it works equally well for chopping nuts or making pesto. Great value, easy to use.

In die Steckdose gesteckt und für 10Sek eingeschaltet. Fing direkt an zu rauchen und zu qualmen!!! es stank nach verbrannten Plastik, Rückgabezeitraum war schon abgelaufen. Geld direkt in die Tonne geschmissen.

I’m writing this review because I noticed a couple of people indicated they had trouble getting the lid on and off. This actually made me think about not getting this food processor. But, it’s actually really simple. Both the base and lid twist on and off and you can see the marks inside the food processor where they lock. I actually like this better than a different food processor I bought, which I had to get rid of because the plastic hinges around the lid broke from normal use.

It’s pretty, light, top rack dishwasher safe (I haven’t tried the blades because I don’t want to dull them) and easy to store because of the cord wrap at the base. I’m glad I decided to make this purchase.
