[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this unit just about a month ago and have made phenomenal use of it! From processing nuts for pie crust, making guacamole, chopping veggies for frozen smoothie packs, and making chia seed pudding, this little beast really meets all my cooking needs. I love it! I wish I had found this little wonder sooner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was almost impossible to use the first time. Vague directions and very stiff parts. Spent thirty minutes trying to get it open and off. But the part that's really concerning is the blade is defective. It has a bent tip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a few weeks ago to replace 20 year old cuisinart which we loved. Worried we wouldn't find a replacement we liked as well. Love this new appliance. Compact when it comes to counter space but does everything we ask if it. Powerful with blade so sharp it took few days for us to stop liquifying everything. The pulse with thumb control is easy to use. Like that the blade is easily removed to dump contents into bowl without a mess. Cleanup also fast and easy. Couldn't be happier with my choice.

My husband and I cook a lot. We've used an ancient little 2 cup cuisinart forever and love it, we use it just about every single day. For almost every meal, we use it to make a salsa, or fine chop herbs, or a sauce, or crush nuts, whatever. That means it needs to get cleaned every day, maybe a couple times. The ancient cuisinart bowl, blade, and lid were as simple as can be, a quick soapy sponge wipe got everything. THIS chopper was never designed by someone who does dishes. It would be impossible to get clean by hand, and we're just simple peasants without a machine. The lid is full of creases, crevices, pockets, channels, nooks, crannies, and for the life of me I can't figure out why there are multiple parts to the lid- a black ring goes over the clear lid, it does not come off despite there being several compartment areas, hinges, and pieces in there, so turns the entire lid into a food, moisture, and bacteria trap. The more I look at it the crazier it gets. Just a maze of crevices, I can't believe anybody designed it without realizing how unsanitary it is. It would take an absurd amount of time to clean it as best as possible by hand, but you will never actually get it clean. Disgusting. I am really disappointed in such a huge oversight by this company- not everybody has a dish washing machine, why would they make this thing virtually impossible to clean by hand? The operating design is also, frankly, quite stupid- there's minuscule little plastic bits on the handle that need to compress to turn the motor on, instead of- I don't know, a switch? A dial? A button? And goodness knows, nobody's ever broken a sprinkle-sized piece of plastic that sticks off a bowl in a kitchen ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the KitchenAid - 3.5 Cup Food Chopper. This is a GREAT little appliance! I love how it chops and also can puree - everything comes out perfectly chopped no matter what it is; carrots especially come out great, all diced perfectly the same size! I don't know how I lived without this great little gem! I have other KitchenAid appliances including a large Mixer, toaster, hand mixer, and more. The the ease of use is amazing! Highly recommend

The 3.5 cup food chopper works extremely well even after 2 years of ownership. I use this appliance frequently and each time it performs well with any foods I place in it. It's great for chopping vegetables for potato or macaroni salads. It s great on chopping nuts for baking recipes.

I bought this to replace a small chopper that quit working. I am glad I chose this KitchenAid - it is easy to use and feels solidly built.
