Product Description
B&D Ergo 3-Cup Chopper
Amazon.com Review
This electric food chopper accomplishes a food processor's principal function of chopping and mincing without having to haul out the big machine. It's just 8 inches high and 4-3/4 inches in diameter, and its 3-cup bowl is ample for many chores in a family household and most chores in a one or two-person household. At 150 watts, the motor is powerful enough to chop or mince vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheese, nuts, chocolate, cooked meats, and bread. The power head has a soft grip for easy one-handed use. The rugged, plastic bowl; its slip-resistant base, which doubles as the bowl's lid for storing food; and the stainless-steel blade are all dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

Comment: I bought this to simplify chopping onions. I can't stand the fumes, the tears, the drama of it all. This little beauty is amazing. I try not to get "uni-taskers" as Alton Brown calls them, and I was a little concerned this might be considered one, but I got the Food Chopper just before Thanksgiving last year and went to town.
I used it to get the entire meal prepped and I saved so much time and it was effortless. All of the onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, you name it that I needed to saute for the stuffing was chopped in no time. Garlic is super easy. The only thing you need to be concious of is not overfilling the bowl and to cut your veggies, etc into similar sizes so they get chopped uniformly, but that goes for any processor.
I use this all the time now for prepping bases for my soups, roasts, salsas. It is wonderful for chopping garlic in bulk, I still use a knife for one or two cloves, but if I need to mince a bunch, out comes the Food chopper and it is done in seconds.
It really is a great little tool for the kitchen when you have a project that you don't want to lug out the giant food processor for, or its just too big to do with your knife and you want to save some time.

Comment: I love this! It is amazing...one touch and voila! It chops so quickly I could not believe it. Really did not expect it to work so well....it is better than the multi-speed blender I had been using for chopping and mixing.

Summary: Compact, safe, easily assembled and cleaned workhorse 2010-08-12
Comment: We have numerous gadgets and appliances lurking about our cupboards and this is one I actually use on a regular basis. It is quick and simple to use - I don't have to retrieve numerous parts and assemble them, and clean-up is a breeze. What I like about the B&D vs. others is that it doesn't have an extra base, since the motor is in the top, making it very compact (the base is the bowl). It's safe to use because it won't work unless all three parts are together. After 7 or 8 years of use, the bowl has cracked, so it has leaked, and I am now purchasing a second one - seems like a good lifespan for a motorized product that was purchased for less than 20.00.

Comment: This product works great. I had previously purchased one quite a long time ago and have been looking to replace it with the same product. I use it for smoothies, vegetables, making bread crumbs, etc. Product also came in as scheduled.
