[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I intended to use the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Chopper to dice smaller vegetables like onions. When I first opened the box and took the chopper out it felt light. I tried to open the top of it and I struggled to slide and open the lid. When I finally got the lid open, I broke a piece of plastic off the chopper. I can't figure out where that plastic went. The lid feels very cheap like it's made from poor quality components. I wouldn't recommend this to someone that is looking for a chopper since a piece broke off so quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This food processor is so simple to use and easy to clean. It makes chopping fast and you can also purée. I love that it doesn't have too many complicated parts that make you not want to be bothered with it. The only thing is it's a little small but if you work in batches it's not really a problem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that I can make my chummus recipe (1 c of chick peas) and not have to wash the big food processor and all its parts. I would love a second cup and blade so I could make another dip before washing this one, but those parts don't seem to be available separately from the base. Otherwise, this is exactly what I wanted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. It is small enough to sit on my counter all the time and look good. It has chopped everything I have given it to chop and in seconds! I even show it off to guests and they are amazed at how fast it chops. It is secure on my countertop and works exactly as expected.

We are extremely frustrated and dissappointed in this food chopper. The safety features make it almost impossible to make it run. We have only been able to make it work two times and cannot seem to figure out how to get the lid on it so it will work again. I would never buy this item again.

I bought this a week ago. It is not very user friendly. It took me forever to get the thing to chop. It does not explain how to get the lid off, you have to twist it, I thought the directions said lift the lid. Don't know why they ask the age thing for the review. I can read and understand directions. Age has nothing to do with it.

I have had this. for a couple of years. It is a complete pain. Every time you take the lid off to see if how finely chopped something the lid comes apart. So you have to put it back together. Everyone in my family who has tried gets very exasperated and I have to show them it's vulnerabilities. I am finally so darn tired of it's flaws that I have thrown this annoying piece of garbage in the trash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when my current chopper died in the middle of making Christmas cookies. It shipped fast and I resumed my baking. I can't get over how finely it chopped all sorts of nuts. So superior to the brand I had previously.

I couldn't wait to start using this. Today was going to ‘the day.' It must take an act of God to remove the lid? Unfortunately, it has been sitting on my counter for nearly an hour while I sift through tutorials which still don't yield an answer. It is ridiculous that KitchenAid design engineers cannot come up with something less cumbersome. Especially, given the cost of their appliances. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they've been warned about the lid, first.

I bought this several months ago and every time it's taken apart to clean and then re-assembled it doesn't work. If I take it apart and re-assemble it a few times sometimes it does, sometimes is doesn't. I have a pile of stuff I need to chop right now and it won't work no matter what I do. Another useless appliance into the trash. I really thought buying a name brand like this would help/
