The Kitchen Selectives Mini Chopper is a great little kitchen helper! It’s compact, easy to use, and chops ingredients quickly with minimal effort. Perfect for small meal prep tasks like chopping veggies, nuts, or herbs. Cleaning is a breeze, and it doesn’t take up much counter space. A great value for the price—highly recommend!

I use this most of the time, instead of the food processor! We are making smaller portions and this makes chopping so much easier and faster!

I own two other choppers in different sizes. This one is nearly identical in design to my 1.5-cup Black & Decker chopper, which was discontinued. I still use it every few days, but I bought this one as a spare in case it stops working.1) ASSEMBLY AND USE - For the chopper to work, the bowl and lid must be locked in place, and it takes only seconds (both pieces must be secure or the chopper will not work, which is a safety feature). First, lock the bowl in place by centering it over the stainless steel post and turn it clockwise. Then add the chopping blade, then GENTLY affix the lid, which has a tiny, somewhat delicate, plastic notch on it (the design could use an improvement in that regard). That notch needs to be on the LEFT side of the chopper, and you will need to (again, GENTLY) turn the lid clockwise until you hear it click. Some people noted that the notch broke off, so my guess is they were tried to force it on counter-clockwise, or they were too rough with the lid.2) BOWL DESIGN (CLEANING AND EMPTYING AFTER CHOPPING) - This chopper is ideal for small jobs and took only seconds to assemble. I was disappointed, however, to see after unpacking the product -- which was not noticeable from the scant two images in the product listing -- that the INSIDE of the chopping bowl is not smooth. It has the same annoying feature as the larger Black & Decker 3-cup chopper, i.e., there are four slightly raised vertical ridges, top to bottom (my B&D 1.5-cup chopper is completely smooth on the inside, and I don't understand why they discontinued it).Hopefully, Kitchen Selectives will consider improving the bowl's design, and although I am not an engineer, the ridges do not appear to serve any purpose. This is not a "major" issue that affects the functionality of the chopper, but I make this point because from an ease of cleaning standpoint. I have two small silicone scrapers. One has a flat end, and the other has a slight spoon-like shape. Cleaning this chopper or removing the contents after chopping is not a "one-stroke action" due to the internal ridges.3) MAKING EGG SALAD - I first tested the chopper to make egg salad. It is powerful, and the pulse action works well -- almost too well! As a tip, if you decide to chop anything soft like hard-boiled eggs, it is best not to be too heavy-handed with the pulse button. That was my mistake, because instead of the more traditional "lumpy" chopped eggs, my heavy-handed pulse action resulted in a course bread crumb-like texture. Although I seasoned it the same way, the texture was not as appealing in a sandwich.4) CHOPPING ONIONS (AND CARROTS) - When chopping a whole onion (medium size), to get an even texture, it is best to quarter it first, and not put more than one-half of an onion in the chopper at a time (you will have a better texture by leaving some "breathing room" before latching the lid). Also, when chopping carrots, I use baby peeled carrots and fill the bowl about halfway or two-thirds full, but not more.

This is one of the worst products I've used. I use this one time and it started smoking. It smelled of burnt, plastic and ended up going in the trash, all of the food that I was trying to cut up also smelt like burnt plastic

You get what you pay for here. I bought it for one purpose only - to make vegan puddings. The first time, it was really hard to get the base to work. If you have the patience, trust that after the first use, it's a good lil gadget. Re the first use... you have to make sure the bottom and the lid are lined up/fit in with the trigger that allows it to work. Sorry if this sounds confusing... you have to put the cup down, put the chopper inside the cup, and then you get the lid on and must turn it to slide in and lock-in to the little "control tower." Once that is all in - the right way - you press the button on the tower and it'll work. It took me 10 minutes the first time, but now it works right from the first try each time. Overall, recommended. If you can afford better, or want a better gadget, maybe Kitchenaid is the way to go.

Aunque es un poco pequeño, las aspas son muy afiladas, lo que hace que muela muy fácil y rápido. Para lo que lo necesito cumple perfecto mis expectativas, me encantó.
