Customer Reviews

I use it all the time 2009-11-10

By sparqle (Orem, UT USA)

I have had this chopper for several years and I use it regularly, mainly for nuts and olives. It even chops frozen nuts. This requires a little more work, but not so much if one uses a bouncing rather than a pushing motion.

Maybe some talented individuals can do what this does faster and more evenly with a knife, but for me this is a much better option and as a bonus I still have all my fingers. Also, the Kitchen Aid chopper comes apart completely for washing in the dishwasher, so cleaning is not a problem. I was a little worried that the plastic parts wouldn't be durable, but this spiffy gadget works just as well now as the day I bought it.

Hard to clean 2009-11-02

By GD from ND (ISN, ND United States)

This looks cool on TV but you can do a better job of chopping with a knife. Mincing is out of the question.

The blade is very sharp and extreme care must be taken when you disassemble this thing to clean it and it is hard to reassemble after cleaning.

Buy a good chef's knife instead it will do a better job and is way more versatile.

Great Mini Chopper Very Bad Instructions 2009-03-26

By Robert S. Preece (Dallas, Texas)

This review applies to the White version of this unit, however except for color there are no other differences.

Expectation management is important when dealing with these mini-choppers. I have a Vidalia Chop Wizard which is perfect for large amounts of various vegetables, onions, etc. If you only need a small amount this food chopper is both convenient and useful. However you must limit the size of the food you are chopping to perhaps a one to one and one half inches in length and probably no more than about 3/4 of an inch in height. You must also pound the unit with some force to get it to really work effectively. I have carefully watched the Slap Chop infomercial ($27.95 with shipping and handling and an additional $7.95 S&H for the "Graty") and with camera angles that commercial creates a bit of a false sense of just what these products can and can't do. Several people have commented on how difficult this unit is to clean. The cleaning instructions on the box say "Remove container ring and carefully wash with soap and water." This has to be the most misleading and dumb instruction ever! The unit easily disassembles however the instructions on the box offer no assistance whatsoever.

What you need to do is first separate the food container from the unit by twisting the clear plastic container counterclockwise about one inch then pull down. This separates the food container from the cutting unit. Next depress the plunger approximately 3/4 of the way and then twist the sweeper/cover to the right or left pulling down until it separates from the remaining unit. This exposes the blades. You are now fully disassembled and ready to quickly clean and reassemble the unit.

The unit is dishwasher safe (top of DW only). You can use the unit with or without the base however with the base on the unit the food is all captured in the food container rather than on the cutting board.

From my observation this unit appears to be essentially a quality copy of the Pampered Chef chopper at about 1/2 the price. It uses a W wedge blade that rotates and also includes a scraper for the side of the food container unit so that the food doesn't build up on the side. This does not work perfectly but is a nice touch. With a litle practice and with the food size limitation mentioned above you can quickly learn the various techniques required for each of the foods you wish to chop. With a little more practice and some good camera angels who knows, you might end up doing a "Slap Chop" commercial for your friends only with a unit that costs less and works just as well. Just don't throw it over your back into the sink.

To recap, this is a very good mini chopper so long as your expectations are in line with the product's capabilities. However, KitchenAid needs to do better with their disassembly/cleaning instructions.

KitchenAid Food Chopper 2007-01-08

By D. Mason (Boston, MA)

I couldn't get this to chop 1/4 of a pre-chopped onion. The onions kept getting lodged between the blades.

Wonderful Little Gadget 2004-04-09

By Joan Raines-phillips (Lawrenceburg, Kentucky USA)

I recently purchased this food chopper, and I just love this thing. I had been using a food chopper from Pampered Chef and was never satisfied with that one. It was uncomfortable to use and too light for the task. In two years, I had replaced parts three times.

This chopper, although smaller, is heavier and much more durable. The large plunger is indeed quite comfortable and it chops like a dream. Perfect for those quick meals or small chopping projects. And as an added bonus, I could find a color that matched my kitchen.

This chopper is wonderful and well worth the small price.
