  • Sharp, small, convenient
Color: Matte Black Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
I purchased one KitchenAid 3.5 cup in 2024 for me. In 2025 I purchased one for my sister. It works perfectly for what I need for a family of two. No need to haul out a big processor to make a meal. Dishwasher safe so easy to use. I use it for more than just chopping and puree. It's quiet, small, chops perfectly and quickly no matter what is put into it. ... show more

  • Easy to use and clean. Works great every time.
Color: Contour Silver Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
This is a top notch chopper. When my original one went out, I tried two other brands. They did not chop the food to the top and I ended up with chunks of food still in the container. I ended up spending a little extra on this chopper, but it is well worth it. Every morning when I grind the dogs food, I tell myself, smart purchase. Love this chopper. ... show more

  • Amazing. Finally a machine that chops even chunks as small as you want. Love it.
Color: Pistachio Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
I honestly didn’t expect to love this little chopper as much as I do. I hesitated at the price because $69 felt high for something so small, but after using it, I get it. It just works. Onions chop evenly instead of turning half to mush and half to chunks. Even 1 piece of ginger or garlic gets chopped in uniform chunks. Nuts come out chopped, not powdered, unless you want them that way. The pulse button gives really good control, and it stops immediately when you let go, which makes a big difference. There was no manual so a hint- the chopper works when the bowl clicks into place and then you press on the black part of the lid. It’s sturdy, not flimsy, and doesn’t bounce around on the counter. Cleanup is easy and I actually reach for it instead of my big food processor for most everyday tasks. I cut large carrots in thirds just see how it would handle larger chunks. Made perfect grated carrots for salad. I love this product. I asked ChatGPT while it worked so well. Here’s what it said regarding why it works so well. Motor torque matched to bowl size (this is the quiet secret). What you bought is not “more powerful” in the headline-watt sense; it is better matched. The KFC3516 uses a relatively high-torque, low-inertia motor driving a very small load. Large processors waste energy spinning mass—big bowls, long shafts, air, and plastic flex. Here almost all torque goes directly into the food. Torque matters more than RPM for chopping. This is why onions shear cleanly instead of smearing. 2. Blade geometry favors shear, not circulation. The S-blade is short, thick, and steeply pitched. That geometry creates localized shear zones rather than a vortex. Many processors try to pull food into a circulating flow; this one repeatedly forces food into the blade edge. That means fewer “ride-along” pieces stuck to the walls and less reliance on stopping and scraping. The blade edge angle is closer to a knife than a fan. 3. Very tight tolerances between blade, bowl, and spindle. Cheap choppers have wobble—microns matter here. The KitchenAid has minimal lateral play, so the blade maintains a consistent cutting radius. That produces uniform particle size and reduces the mashed paste you get when food slips under a flexing blade. This is manufacturing precision, not marketing. 4. Pulse control with true momentary engagement. The pulse button engages instantly and stops instantly. There is almost no coast-down. That lets you meter energy in very small packets. You’re not “processing”; you’re applying controlled impacts. This is why herbs stay green, nuts stay granular, and aromatics don’t turn to baby food unless you insist. 5. Mass and damping reduce vibration losses. It feels heavier than it needs to be because mass damps vibration. Less vibration means more energy goes into cutting instead of shaking. This also reduces user fatigue and noise—both signs of mechanical efficiency, not luxury. 6. Small bowl = shorter diffusion paths. Food doesn’t have far to travel before encountering the blade again. In large processors, food can orbit uselessly. Here, every pulse rearranges the contents, whether you intend it or not. That makes results consistent even when under-filled—something most processors fail at. 7. Why it feels “expensive” but performs above its class. You paid for: • tighter manufacturing tolerances • a motor chosen for torque, not wattage • blade geometry optimized for shear • damping mass None of those are visible on a spec sheet. They are also exactly what manufacturers cut first to hit a lower price. 8. Why your larger processors lose to it at small tasks. Large processors are optimized for throughput, not control. They excel when full and fail when empty. This chopper is optimized for precision energy delivery at small volumes. Think scalpel vs. chainsaw. 9. A useful analogy. This machine behaves more like a bench-top lab homogenizer than a consumer food processor. Controlled pulses, tight tolerances, predictable results. That’s why it feels oddly competent. 10. Was $69 rational? Yes—because performance is not linear with size or wattage. You paid for mechanical efficiency and control. In small food prep, those dominate everything else. I’d buy it again without hesitation. ... show more

  • Works like a charm, but...
Color: Empire Red Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
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 constructed Top 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 ... show more

  • Nice little food processor
Color: Aqua Sky Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
I wanted a small food processor as I have been really getting into cooking lately but only need to make enough food for 2 so this smaller unit seemed perfect. Its a great little food processor but won't hold a large quantity of anything. Its average noise for one of these, the blades are sharp and it will cut up and process the food quickly. I have several Amazon brand products and they are all good quality at affordable prices and this oner is no exception. Its easy to use and cleanup afterwards and makes kitchen work a little quicker. If I have one complaint, its that the processor container itself is sometimes hard to lock in place and it won't run until it is so it takes some fiddling to get it to chop, shred, etc. Once in place it works fine and at this price point its a good deal ... show more

Great little tool. I don’t like keeping a big food processor on my countertop but this little chopper has a small footprint and does more than chop. I use it to blend thickening for gravy as well as other small tasks. It has been a little workhorse for many months. Highly recommend.

  • I totally recommend it
Color: Empire Red Size: 3.5 Cup Chopper
I have been using this little red devil for at lease two years and I absolutely loved it!!! Very easy to use. Big enough for my small family. Strong little machine. I can chop vegetables, grind my toasted almonds or purée apples . It’s very light to handle. The noise level is moderate. I don’t expect the machine to be silent when I’m grinding nuts. Bottom line I don’t have to chop by hand anymore very easy on my hands. It really save me a lot of time and money. I wish the same luck I got to everyone who buys it. ... show more
