Amazon.com Review:
Here's an electric appliance that provides a food processor's principal function--chopping and mincing--at a bargain price. Add compactness and ease of use to the price, and the sum is a handy, inexpensive tool for one- and two-person households, where efficiency is more important than large-scale, elaborate food preparation. At 135 watts, the motor is powerful enough to chop or mince vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheese, nuts, chocolate, cooked meats, and bread. The tough plastic bowl holds 3 cups and is calibrated in cups, ounces, liters, and milliliters, and the bowl, lid, and stainless-steel blade are dishwasher-safe. This lightweight chopper is only 6-3/4 by 5 by 7 inches and has a hideaway cord to reduce counter clutter. --Fred Brack

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It Works, but...
It works but can be a bit messy during clean up. It does make excellent chicken or tuna salad, however the blades sit so low that onions and other veggies are slung out of the way (upward) before being fully shredded.I wonder why they don't put a set of blades all along the shaft of the cup?I also wonder why things can't fit together without gaping holes, but I guess that's what makes us human.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I find it's very handy
I bought this exact thing back in 2000, and my husband and I still use it fairly regularly.It's great for smaller jobs, like mincing onions, making salsa, etc. I do notice that you can't put too much liquid in it w/out it spilling through the mid-section and onto the counter, but I think it's just common sense if you need to make a larger amount of food, use a bigger processor (or use a blender).Aside from the spillage issue, sometimes it doesn't chop down all the food- it misses pieces, which ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The worst food processor ever
This chopper, if you can call it that, is terrible.I've tried chopping all kinds of foods from veggies to fruit to nuts to cheese.I've tried filling up the bowl, half full and barely anything at all.It doesn't chop.Plain and simple it just doesn't chop the food.I've had pieces of vegetables get stuck on the blade.Then, I'd have to stop and remove the piece and try again.It started to chop a little a couple of times, but then just stopped and the blade kept spinning while chopping nothing. ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Awful
This couldn't even handle chopping a 1/4 of an onion that had already been roughly chopped.

I have a mini processor attachment for my blender, and while it doesn't hold much, it's way more powerful.This is sitting in a box in the basement, where it's been for 2 years... and where it'll stay.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Just OK
For the price it works fairly well.Don't fill past the 1/2 full level or take a very long time on high to get the food smooth. If you don't want the food smooth, only chunky/chopped, then this is a good product for that.
