KFC3516 3.55 Cup Chopper

It chops and purées, and does it all. It has a pour spout on the container which I love. Love the color. And the size is great small but very powerful. It is easy to clean.

I have a large food processor that I love, but sometimes, it's just too big. After reading many reviews, I settled on this one. It was the right size and had a small footprint, and I respect the Kitchenaid brand, so I decided to give it a try. And, I like it...a lot!To start, I like the looks of this one more than any of the others I was researching. I also appreciate having 2 different speeds--something many didn't offer. Once I figured out how to use it--manuals are so handy!--it is easy and fun to use. I love the power push on the handle--it's very inconspicuous yet highly accessible. Most importantly, it works well and clean up is quick and easy.

This food chopper makes meal prep so much easier! It chops vegetables, nuts, and herbs quickly and evenly with minimal effort. The blades are sharp and durable, and the container is just the right size for everyday use. Cleanup is simple since the parts come apart easily. It’s a great kitchen tool that saves time and hassle. Highly recommend for anyone who cooks regularly!

Excellent food chopper! It’s simple and intuitive to use, easy to clean, and compact enough to not take up much counter space. Despite being plastic, it feels durable and doesn’t hold onto any smells. It chops and purees veggies like onions and carrots really well. Doesn’t leak and has a great safety feature that locks the container securely to the base. Gives peace of mind while using it! Perfect for busy moms who need to prep quick meals. Honestly, one of my favorite purchases of all time!

It’s small but mighty. Works great, so far. Cleans up easily. I really like it.

This little food processor is a powerhouse. It works effortlessly and is super easy to clean up. It’s always on my countertop and I use it all the time. Don’t be scared off by other reviews that say the lid is difficult to get off. Once you know how to take the lid off, it is super easy. It literally just twists off. You just have to hold it in the right spot. I love this thing. The red color perfectly matches, my red KitchenAid mixer.

My old mini chopper was giving me headaches and throwing me into fits of swearing and gnashing of teeth. Despite it being made by a premier small appliance company and stipulated to have stainless steel components, the projection that held the blade rusted and got stuck all the time! It became a chore to remove the blade portion from the main appliance to the point that I dreaded using it. Enter Amazon Prime Day. This beautiful KitchenAid 3.5 Food Chopper was accompanied by a price I could not refuse. Since its arrival, I have used this little chopper with great success to chop a variety of vegetables including the classic triumvirate of onions, celery, and carrots. After cutting the vegetables into chunks to fit in the bowl, l loaded it up putting it on chop mode. Within seconds, no exaggeration, it had whittled those chunks down to the perfect chopped size. I did have to hold the machine when it initially began chopping the carrots, but not for the less dense vegetables. It was actually quite amazing how this teeny little red machine did its thing! This petite wee chopper is compact with a space at the bottom where the cord is wound keeping it out of site and preventing the cord from dangling obtrusively from its storage shelf. The apparatus has three pieces (not counting the main motor portion) consisting of the lid, removable stainless steel blade, and bowl. The lid and bowl are a clear hard plastic making easy to see when enough is enough. The blade attaches to a column of either rubber or plastic and fits securely over the projection. The bowl snaps easily and decisively into place. The on and off switch is located at the top of the handle and operates when pressed down or released which can be easily done with one finger or a thumb. A small sliding switch changes from chop to grind with a simple push and is located just below the bowl on the motor portion of the chopper. The noise is very tolerable and not nearly as loud as my old chopper. The bowl has a convenient pour spout, and there is a "drizzle basin" on top of the lid making adding liquid easy and mess free. The chopper disassembles easily for cleaning and according to the ad is dishwasher safe. My little ruby red gem of a guillotine (also available in 8 other colors) is going to be a great addition to my kitchen.NOTE: However, I must mention one problem that I had. Neither my son or I could figure out how to remove the lid from the bowl. I read the manual from start to finish (the English portion) twice but to no avail. I cold not find any instructions on how to remove the lid. Each maneuver I tried failed. Fearing that I might indeed break or damage something, I went to that all knowing teacher, YouTube. Finally I found a video with one simple sentence/statement that answered my question. One just takes a finger or thumb and gently pushes the top portion at the stop button forward toward you. So, using gentle pressure and one finger I did just that, and voila' I was able to remove the lid. Simple as pie, but not so initially! Now in my opinion, that should have been included in the instruction manual, and I should not have had to go to YouTube to find out how to remove a lid. KitchenAid is above that! Despite the fact that this is a top notch little machine, I was tempted to give it 4 stars. Reason prevailed, and five stars were assigned because of the size, stability, efficiency, speed, and quality of the machine. It really is very easy to remove the lid once you know how it is done. This little mini chopper is a giant among its own kind, and I can recommend it without reservation...just remember- push the little starter toward you to remove the lid!Top 3 Likes:-Does an excellent job chopping to a roughly uniform size-It is fast, efficient, and relatively, comparatively quiet-Compact and solidly, substantially, and attractively constructedTop 3 Dislikes:-There is some (but minimal) motor noise-Had to hold it steady while chopping dense vegetables like carrots-Lack of instruction on how to remove the lid

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Trustworthy brand and did not disappointDurability:These are so much more durable and have much more power than my other food processor that I would have to stop in the middle of chopping the food because it would stop working since it couldn’t handle it. This KitchenAid one handles it like a champ!Build quality:the build quality is excellent. Though it it a little confusing to open up I had to watch a YouTube video on how to open it lolBlade sharpness:the blades are super sharp and can handle a lot of food to be choppedPower:the power is really good and can handle lots
