Customer reviews

A fantastic little chopper!
It's not perfect. I would've appreciated a simple paddle switch instead the weird tiny button that can only be pressed by the lid. And also the two pieces of the lid are extremely difficult to separate in order to wash the bits and pieces of food that get stuck in between. I'm not sure how many times I can pry these apart before something breaks. With that out the way, the actual chopping is really good! The two speeds are actually quite different from each other, unlike many of other similar choppers on the market. Low is perfect for chopping and high is perfect for blending and pureeing. Most importantly, I bought this for its size. Hollandaise and aioli are staples in our household, and are best consumed fresh. We never need more than a cup-full. This little chopper is perfect for making things that you only need in small quantities: sauces, dressings, mayos. The blade is situated close to the bottom of the container, so you don't have worry about the blade free-spinning above your ingredients. It picks up everything! The drip hole is also perfect for making emulsions like mayonnaise; it dispenses the perfect amount of oil to emulsify, and you don't need to stop the chopper, or even open the lid! The materials also feel quite solid. Our last chopper pretty much just fell apart, and there's something about this one that feels very sturdy. Lastly, it is pretty quiet, cobsidering how much power it has for pureeing. Would definitely recommend for a home kitchen, but KitchenAid: please give us a normal switch!

Tiny but mighty!!
If you love to have salads then this is a must in your kitchen. This is a perfect appliance for making your salad dressings, dips, sauces and much more. This is small but packs a punch, the chopping, mincing functionality is great. Power is the right amount and surprisingly not noisy at all. The lid locking mechanism is a little hard to figure out at first but once you get it it’s easy and so good that nothing spills out. A little pricey from other brands but kitchen aid always compensates in durability.

Quality product, well built, safe to use and very handy
I miss the convenience of the battery operated chopper that I have been using until the batteries wouldn't charge anymore, but this 120V corded version is much more powerful and reliable. I use it all the time for fine chopping veggies, mixing sauces and marinades. In comparison, I rarely use my KitchenAid food processor because of the work it takes to assemble and then clean-up when done. This chopper is my goto food processor.

Sharp, small, convenient
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.
