Product Description
3 Cup Food Chopper
Amazon.com Review
Here's an electric appliance that provides a food processor's principal function--chopping and mincing--at a bargain price. Add compactness and ease of use to the price, and the sum is a handy, inexpensive tool for one- and two-person households, where efficiency is more important than large-scale, elaborate food preparation. At 135 watts, the motor is powerful enough to chop or mince vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheese, nuts, chocolate, cooked meats, and bread. The tough plastic bowl holds 3 cups and is calibrated in cups, ounces, liters, and milliliters, and the bowl, lid, and stainless-steel blade are dishwasher-safe. This lightweight chopper is only 6-3/4 by 5 by 7 inches and has a hideaway cord to reduce counter clutter. --Fred Brack

Summary: Some people obviously can't read descriptions! 2010-02-04
Comment: It's a CHOPPER not a processor. It chops basics, it's not a food processor. Yes watch over filling as things like onions tend to become mush. Also be careful how you put food in. Layered items can be chopped hap-hazardly.
It's a good little gadget if you're not in the mood to pull out the big knife and cutting board. Couple of hits, and Whiz!
Some people want cheap to do everything. Idiots!

Summary: It Works, but... 2009-01-27
Comment: It works but can be a bit messy during clean up. It does make excellent chicken or tuna salad, however the blades sit so low that onions and other veggies are slung out of the way (upward) before being fully shredded. I wonder why they don't put a set of blades all along the shaft of the cup? I also wonder why things can't fit together without gaping holes, but I guess that's what makes us human.

Summary: I find it's very handy 2006-12-03
Comment: I bought this exact thing back in 2000, and my husband and I still use it fairly regularly. It's great for smaller jobs, like mincing onions, making salsa, etc. I do notice that you can't put too much liquid in it w/out it spilling through the mid-section and onto the counter, but I think it's just common sense if you need to make a larger amount of food, use a bigger processor (or use a blender). Aside from the spillage issue, sometimes it doesn't chop down all the food- it misses pieces, which is annoying. But I can say that the blade is still razor sharp after all these years. I like it.

Summary: The worst food processor ever 2006-02-09
Comment: This chopper, if you can call it that, is terrible. I've tried chopping all kinds of foods from veggies to fruit to nuts to cheese. I've tried filling up the bowl, half full and barely anything at all. It doesn't chop. Plain and simple it just doesn't chop the food. I've had pieces of vegetables get stuck on the blade. Then, I'd have to stop and remove the piece and try again. It started to chop a little a couple of times, but then just stopped and the blade kept spinning while chopping nothing.
It was horrible and I've opted now for a bigger 7 cup Kitchen Aid or Cuisinart processor based on reviews here.
Lesson learned, you get what you pay for.

Summary: Awful 2004-07-29
Comment: This couldn't even handle chopping a 1/4 of an onion that had already been roughly chopped.
I have a mini processor attachment for my blender, and while it doesn't hold much, it's way more powerful. This is sitting in a box in the basement, where it's been for 2 years... and where it'll stay.
