Hamilton Beach Electric Vegetable Chopper & Mini Food Processor, 3-Cup, 350 Watts, for Dicing, Mincing, and Puree, Black (72850)

My new best friend in the kitchen!I was looking for something small but efficient to help me chop quickly without having to bring out the big food processor, and I found this Hamilton Beach mini food chopper. What a gem!First of all, the size is perfect. It barely takes up any space, and the 3-cup capacity is more than enough for my daily needs (like chopping garlic, onions, peppers, nuts, etc.). It's super easy to use—just press the lid and that's it. No buttons or anything complicated, which I really appreciate because I love practical things.The motor is surprisingly powerful for how compact it is, and it chops pretty evenly. I was impressed by how fast it works. Sometimes I even overdo it and end up with things more blended than chopped, so you just need to get the hang of it.Another big plus: it's easy to clean. The parts come apart quickly and are dishwasher safe—no hassle.If you're looking for something simple, efficient, and space-saving, this mini processor is a definite yes. For me, it's become a daily little helper that saves time and reduces the stress of cooking. I absolutely recommend it!

Convenient countertop model with lots of power. I thought the small size could not possibly handle puree recipes, but I was wrong. This blender purees in seconds and washes up in a breeze. With only a few parts to clean--blade, canister, and lid--it cleans up in less than a minute. The noise level is lower than the more expensive brands. It's made of plastic but seems durable and easy to store. So far I'm delighted with this easy to care for product.

This little food processor, which holds more than you might think, is easy to use, easy to clean, and has a lot of power. (Careful how much pressure you put on your veggies or you can wind up with mush!) Does a great job of mincing and dicing! Great product!

This worked really well even though it was used and sent to me. I must of used it for about two handful of time and it stopped working? Sighh... Good item I think.

This is really handy for chopping vegetables and making sauces. Well worth the money! I really like mine. Durable, has a lot of power, no leakage, and easy to clean!!!

This little chopper is a powerhouse! Its quick and effective for chopping smaller amounts of foods. The blades are SHARP, so watch your fingers as you are washing it. It is a wash by hand item, but its 3 pieces and cleanup is super simple. It doesn't have bells and whistles, you put the lid on and press down gently and it starts to work, you release, and it stops. However, don't let that deter you because it works so fast and chops so quickly. I purchased it to make chopped ham salad or egg salad. This breaks things down to the perfect texture for my purposes. The base is very sturdy, the plastic bowl and lid are of good quality, and I have zero regrets making this purchase.

All around wonderfully designed and very nicely made, i do not know where to begin in describing how practical and useful this appliance would be. It is home kitchen size, not large, and although it is described as having a 3-cup chopping bowl, in practice this chopper was actually designed to chop up to 1 1/2-cups of carrots or onions, etc., carrots sliced into about 1-inch lengths or onions sliced into about 1-inch cubes, for instance, which makes sense because the chopping process inside this appliance needs to have enough overhead free space to flip and overturn what is being chopped in order to regulate the uniformity of the chopping, to not produce a mixture of both finely minced and uncut carrots or onions, etc., and its operator's instruction page includes some useful tips on how to use this chopper. This chopper is about all of what a single person, a couple or a small family could need and if you hit the limit of what a single 1 1/2-cup chopping can produce, then simply cut up some more, put it in the chopper and produce more, in other words it is possible for this chopper to satisfy you, you two, you few, you several and more. It is said fruits and veggies are more nutritious when eaten raw, uncooked, but who wants to chew on chunks of raw carrots or raw onions in their salad? But now, this chopper can reduce those chunks into tasty little, easy to chew, flavorful tidbits. And for those who appreciate what a Chinese wok can do, cook your rice in the wok then put the cooked rice into a bowl at the side of the stove, then cook or sauté your fruits, meats, veggies, or whatever, before putting the rice back into the hot wok along with just enough cooking oil to make everything just a little bit slick and slippery, then, at the last minute, once everything has been cooked, flipped over and mixed up, this is the time to add additional flavorings, seasonings and spices, including finely chopped onion, etc., before giving everything in the wok a quick, mix it up, final flip-over. That same method can successfully be used in any Eastern or Western cookpan or cookpot but Chinese wok design is particularly good at that. Lodge of Tennessee, USA, makes cast iron woks, 12-inch useful, 14-inch even better. Cast iron and carbon steel woks break-in or season in about the same way, scrub them clean in kitchen sink water, but use NO soap or detergent, then put them on a low heat stove to thoroughly dry them, and when cooled down lightly coat their insides with cooking oil. Anyway, this little chopper is very useful, much better and easier than doing such fine slicing by hand, recommended!
