Great Chopper Very Bad Directions 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Expectation management is important when dealing with these mini-choppers. I have a Vidalia Chop Wizard which is perfect for large amounts of various vegetables, onions, etc. If you only need a small amount this food chopper is both convenient and useful. However you must limit the size of the food you are chopping to perhaps a one to one and one half inches in length and probably no more than about 3/4 of an inch in height. You must also pound the unit with some force to get it to really work effectively. I have carefully watched the Slap Chop infomercial ($27.95 with shipping and handling and an additional $7.95 S&H for the "Graty") and with camera angles that commercial creates a bit of a false sense of just what these products can and can't do. Several people have commented on how difficult this unit is to clean. The cleaning instructions on the box say "Remove container ring and carefully wash with soap and water." This has to be the most misleading and dumb instruction ever! The unit easily disassembles however the instructions on the box offer no assistance whatsoever.

What you need to do is first separate the food container from the unit by twisting the clear plastic container counterclockwise about one inch then pull down. This separates the food container from the cutting unit. Next depress the plunger approximately 3/4 of the way and then twist the sweeper/cover to the right or left pulling down until it separates from the remaining unit. This exposes the blades. You are now fully disassembled and ready to quickly clean and reassemble the unit.

The unit is dishwasher safe (top of DW only). You can use the unit with or without the base however with the base on the unit the food is all captured in the food container rather than on the cutting board.

From my observation this unit appears to be essentially a quality copy of the Pampered Chef chopper at about 1/2 the price. It uses a W wedge blade that rotates and also includes a scraper for the side of the food container unit so that the food doesn't build up on the side. This does not work perfectly but is a nice touch. With a litle practice and with the food size limitation mentioned above you can quickly learn the various techniques required for each of the foods you wish to chop. With a little more practice and some good camera angels who knows, you might end up doing a "Slap Chop" commercial for your friends only with a unit that costs less and works just as well. Just don't throw it over your back into the sink.

To recap, this is a very good mini chopper so long as your expectations are in line with the product's capabilities. However, KitchenAid needs to do better with their disassembly/cleaning instructions.

Editorial Review:

The Kitchen Aid Food Chopper is ideal for chopping veggies, fruits, herbs, nuts and chocolate. The superior high–carbon stainless steel blade provides exceptional performance. The soft base gives the item superb stability. The food chamber and soft base can be removed and placed in the dishwasher for quick and easy cleanup.

Not durable 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Bought this b/c of the metallic finish. Always left chunks of food, and now it is leaking from the base. Nothing seems to have cracked or broken . The plastic ring appears fine but the blade seems to be loose after a year of minimal use.
WILL NOT RECOMMEND

Worst Blender I've Ever Owned 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is, without a doubt, the single worst kitchen appliance I've ever owned. The thing has no power at all. Blending dry ingredients to make a cake, forget about it. Blending fruit to make a smoothie, forget it, the blade can't cut through. Forget about crushing ice, the chucks it left were huge. I purchased mine at Costco for over $60 and I wish I could sue the company for selling what is clearly a defective and just plain pathetic machine. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Complete and total junk 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this because it was on sale at the local hardware store, and I needed a blender. The first one burnt out after two smoothies. Returned it for an exchange (every manufacturer is entitled to the occasional defective unit) but that one stopped working too, after three smoothies. No ice crushing or anything heavy involved - the motor just can't handle anything thicker than water without burning out. I only gave this one star because zero stars is not an option. Perhaps the worst product I've ever purchased.

I took it back for a refund, vowed never to buy another Black and Decker product, and bought a very nice KitchenAid blender.

Doesn't operate, just makes noise 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The item doesn't work at all, is very light plastic that doesn't look like it would last very long if it did work, and according to the instructions "it does not chop ice, does not whip cream, does not beat egg whites to a desirable volume, does not grind coffee beans or spices with a high oil content, does not slice or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows or soft cheeses".
