KitchenAid KFC3511GA 3.5-Cup Food Chopper, Green Apple

I have had mixed results with Kitchenaid products lately but this chopper has been working great. I'm not much for specialized appliances - I usually just chop by hand. I got it to mince asparagus for my cat (he now lacks teeth) and I got tired of doing it manually, but I wound up using it so much that my cutting board gets much less use now. It's great for pizza toppings, soup, etc. If you precut veggies into 1-2 inch pieces and use short bursts, you can get just about any size pieces you like, down to a fine mince. If you want large pieces you just have to be quick, because it's very fast. It can also make GREAT hash browns, with potatoes, red or green peppers, onions, etc. So flavorful due to the fine chop. I just put it in a convection toaster oven at 400 with a little olive oil and bake it, stirring a few times, very easy. Disassembly/reassembly is very easy and usually I just run the parts under water to clean, giving it a soapy wash every week or two. I haven't had any issues with the gasket coming off (as another reviewer said). Also makes great salsa and guacamole. I've used this at least once a day for 8 months, for things as hard as carrots and broccoli stems, and as soft as mushrooms and tomatoes. I use short bursts, and the motor seems ample. Nice size, but I'm not sure how it would handle heavy liquids, which may be a bit much for the motor - I wouldn't treat this as a food processor. It's a chopper.

This was exactly what I was looking for and needed! Small enough to make pestos and my favorite salsa. Fairly easy to clean up; I usually rinse it under hot water and set it out to dry, depending on what I've chopped in it. The motor sounds strong and operates well. The safety mechanisms that prevent accidental usage work great. It's compact, but has a fairly short cord. Here's my favorite and easy salsa recipe, just because you asked nicely: 1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes 1 jalapeno or Serrano pepper, more or less to taste 1/4 or less onion (too much and it'll taste too oniony) 1 clove of garlic Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Pulse on the chop setting until fairly chopped then add: Cilantro to taste (I like a lot) Tops of scallions, if using (the white bottoms can be used in place of onion in step 1) Pulse on chop setting several seconds, until cilantro is roughly chopped. Enjoy!

My daughter picked out the aqua blue color, because she liked it. This is my first food processor and I didn't think I needed a large one. Our plan was to use it to make home made granola bars first, and then see what else we use it for. The item came quickly, and is very easy to put together and take apart. Washing is not difficult either. I usually hand wash it, but it looks dishwasher safe to me. It works great and is easy to use. It chopped up nuts and dried fruit for us with no problems. I am please with the unit.

I've gone through so many of the smaller food choppers, not really wanting to spend money on something I should just be able to do for free with knives I already own. BUT, I finally laid out a little more, not much, for this KitchenAid chopper and am really happy with it! The first thing I did was toss an onion in, to dice it for some sauce I was making. I worried the onion might become too liquid or the pieces too small, but in fact it was perfectly diced for my needs (see photo). I've also put this to use making salsa and it does a great job with that, perfectly chopping the onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic, and jalapeno, retaining the chunkiness while still blending the flavors. I like the size of the bowl, too - just big enough to toss in a can or two of tomatoes to make salsa! It does take a little getting used to, not having a handle to hold onto when tightening down or taking off the bowl. I think it's actually a benefit to not have the handle, though- makes storage of the processor much easier as it is more streamlined.

Perfect in every way, simple to clean, performs every task you need a food processor for. Oh did you need to grate two pounds of cheese with a grater attachment? This doesn't do that. So why do people spend three times as much for a bulky food processor with all kinds of parts to clean every time you use it, and you know you never use it to full capacity. Almost any big project like blending a soup can be done with an immersion blender, I think this processor is perfectly sized. If you need a machine to grate a pound of cheese for you, you probably need the exercise in any case.

Might and powerful! This great little machine, has a small footprint, so you don't have to find a lot of room to store him away. But, he is so cute you might just want to leave him out on your counter. Besides that, you will be using him so much, it will just be handier to have him at arms reach. I like to use it for chopping vegetables for soups, or pureeing. Easy to assemble and take apart to clean. Easy to operate. Great price.

From now on, I will only ever buy Kitchenaid products when it comes to small kitchen appliances. I've blown through other food processors and they never did the job well. This one, however, does the job and then some. It purees and/or chops so quickly and it isn't ridiculously loud, which is nice. The slicing blade stays in place when you turn the processor upside down to empty the contents into a bowl. Nice! Also, it is compact and fits nicely on my counter, which has limited real estate. It's super easy to use and clean. I am one who has no patience for gadgets because I believe that they always end up wasting more time than saving time but this one isn't like that! It works wonders and it really does save you heaps of time!

This little chopper is great. I thought 3 cups would be something I use for smaller items like daily dinner prep. However, 3 cups is applicable to more than I originally thought and, I use it almost daily. It is easy to use and clean and a perfect size. I am glad I did not go with the larger one. However, find another company to order from. I am giving this 3 stars because it took 3 weeks for this to arrive. I contacted the company twice. The first time, they responded and gave me an updated tracking number. This was the day before my package was originally scheduled to arrive. Imagine my surprise when I learned my package had not left the facility the week before as my original tracking had stated but, the day I contacted them. At this point, an ice storm had covered a large part of the country and it took an additional week and a half for it to arrive. I contacted them again at this point to let them know about their lapse in service and to cancel my order but, never received any response back. I will never order from this company again. If anyone from Amazon is reading, I would love to see a feature that excludes companies which you have had issues with from your search results if you add them to a "blocked list" of some kind.

It is just the right size for chopping up enough stuff for cooking a small meal and does not take a lot of counter or cupboard space. The bowl easily rinses out. The controls are simple, just high speed or low speed, press one or the other. I was impressed at how quickly it shredded and blended. These went on sale this week locally and this one I purchased from here was still less money than the ones on sale in our local store.

Compre este articulo para un regalo a mi esposa, lo utiliza para hacer postres y hasta el momento no hemos tenido ninguna falla, es una de las mejores marcas y lo mejor de todo es el precio es mucho mejor que en cualquier departamental. lo recomendamos al 100 el envio sin problemas y todo en tiempo

Looks stylish. The quality of the plastic could have been better keeping in mind the brand's stellar reputation. No issues so far with usage, works like a charm.

We bought this food chopper to replace our Magic Bullet that was struggling to puree foods smoothly. This chopper made making baby food so easy and is the perfect size for preparing small batches of different foods so you have a large assortment. Now that our son has outgrown pureed food, my wife uses this to make just about anything from home made hummus, guacamole, fresh salsa, pesto sauce, bread crumbs, choping nuts for baking and fresh parmesan cheese. There is a "wet-ingredient" hole on the top to add liquids without having to remove the lid. It works well with water but if you are making a pesto and need to add a thick liquid like oil, it seems to pool on the top and you'll spend more time waiting for the oil to drip through. Cream also seems to flow very slowly and its much faster to just remove the lid and pour in directly. Dissassembly and cleanup is very easy. As a word of caution, the blades are extremely sharp, don't let them soak in a sink full of soap so you don't know its there. Finally, the Cord. Its a bit short for my liking. Its approximately 2 feet long which is barely enough distance to plug it in and have it clear your upper cabinets. If your outlet is in a corner, you'll probably have an akward time trying to use this. I guess keeping it short is how the got it to wrap neatly underneath for storage. Pros: - Comes in just about every colour to match your other applicances - Excellent value for money - Purees very well - It's quite tiny and takes up little space and light weight Cons: - Power cord could be longer

Works very well
