KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper KFC3516CU, Contour Silver

Great little chopper. It is not a full food processor, but for chopping veggies for like pico in the summer and salads and stuff, it works fantastic. I just did not have the time to chop things without this little guy helping me. The chopping and food prep is fine, I know how to do it, but it takes a while when you get off work. I wasn't sure how to use it at first, but then I found out you push that top part over the handle down and off it goes. I like the color. For what it costs, it's pretty good. It is easy to clean and can be run through the dishwasher. It isn't too loud. I just really like this little guy, but I might get a full food processor another time because this can only chop your veggies or pulse as it is not a full processor. Oh, and the brand is a good one, so I have no worries of this guy breaking, plus I just moved with it... and no changes on how it works.

It's not perfect. I would've appreciated a simple paddle switch instead the weird tiny button that can only be pressed by the lid. And also the two pieces of the lid are extremely difficult to separate in order to wash the bits and pieces of food that get stuck in between. I'm not sure how many times I can pry these apart before something breaks. With that out the way, the actual chopping is really good! The two speeds are actually quite different from each other, unlike many of other similar choppers on the market. Low is perfect for chopping and high is perfect for blending and pureeing. Most importantly, I bought this for its size. Hollandaise and aioli are staples in our household, and are best consumed fresh. We never need more than a cup-full. This little chopper is perfect for making things that you only need in small quantities: sauces, dressings, mayos. The blade is situated close to the bottom of the container, so you don't have worry about the blade free-spinning above your ingredients. It picks up everything! The drip hole is also perfect for making emulsions like mayonnaise; it dispenses the perfect amount of oil to emulsify, and you don't need to stop the chopper, or even open the lid! The materials also feel quite solid. Our last chopper pretty much just fell apart, and there's something about this one that feels very sturdy. Lastly, it is pretty quiet, cobsidering how much power it has for pureeing. Would definitely recommend for a home kitchen, but KitchenAid: please give us a normal switch!

I have the same Chopper for my own personal use. I loved it so much I purchased the same one for my father for Christmas. He's used it several times now since then and advised that he too loves it. Not only does it get the job done, it's easy to use and easy to clean up.

This chopper is easy, and chops in seconds. I use the purée option for vegetables cooked in broth to add to soup instead of tossing. Small and stores easily in a drawer. Have purchased as a gift for my granddaughters!

This is a great solution for processing small amounts. The lid however is a bit temperamental going on.

Nice little addition in your kitchen , have used it several times , works great , quick and easy way to chop up food , I like the way the cord wraps around the base for storage , 2 speeds , very sharp blades

I bought this several years ago and still use it on a weekly basis. It has held up so well over time and still works very efficiently. It is a little bit small which requires multiple batches, but it's not a huge deal if you know that when you buy it. It is very easy to use and clean. It is also pretty quiet compared to some blenders and other food processors.

I am so impressed with this little powerhouse food processor. It's the perfect size for just two people. It really does chop and puree' without any difficulty. I'm not one for a lot of "gadgets" in my kitchen, but this compact little guy takes up hardly any space, very few parts to assemble (a huge plus in my book), and easy to clean. The chop feature sometimes works a little too well, not as great for coarse chopping, but perfect for salsas and vegetable soups. Love it!
