HIGH SPEED CHAOS. I pulled this bad boy straight out of the box and prepped to use for some homemade creamy red pasta sauce which called for some garden tomatoes and onion, and garlic cloves – minced. So in my mind, perfect time to use it. It’ll cut down on so much time and effort, should be an easy dinner. I did as much of the onion as i could really fit in it on the first go, and as soon as I smacked the lid on, it started going full throttle and I couldn’t figure out how to stop it for at least 5 seconds. When I tell you don’t puree an onion ………. Don’t. Puree. An onion. I used it anyways because, thou shall not waste, but I was VERY cautious afterwards, and very gentle. I figured it out pretty quickly after the initial incident, and got the garlic cloves minced to perfection. unfortunately the blade inside falls out very easily, so if you dump it like I did, it’s going in the sauce. Be aware of that. But probably a good thing it removes so easily because I can’t imagine that would be fun to screw and unscrew after every round of use. All in all a good purchase at a good price, just be careful because you will go from minced to pureed in lightning speed if that lid gets stuck. Happy pulsing!
A good blender. I gave 5 stars on blending power and easy to use & clean. Main reason for purchase has been chopping onions. However the advertised photo of chopped onions I am afraid would be difficult to replicate in reality. The result cannot come even close in comparison to the Vidalia Chop Wizard I have had for over 20 years and still working. The onions came out uneven, almost mush with a few chunks still in – not a good look to add to salads, etc. Regardless it will serve as a useful blender for small quantities. For larger quantities you need a larger capacity blender, otherwise it would be a veritable chore to empty and fill every minute or so. Therefore 4-star review.
Lasts a long time. I have had this chopper for at least 15 years. I only recently replaced it because the blade has nooks hard to clean especially when I make chummus, and it grew mold I couldn’t clean, although it was still working fairly well although at times the top button would get stuck with no way to stop it (scary) but it would eventually either stop or i had to unplug it.Only thing is I wish they offered it with a glass option instead of plastic. I don’t like using plastic.Also they should fix the blade and remove all the little gaps that are hard to reach and clean.
Finally! A small food processor that can do the job. I’ve gone through a couple of the small Walmart electric “choppers” and have found that they don’t last long, are slightly too small and dull easily. This chopper and food processor handles all my needs with ease. The slightly larger capacity container (3-cups) allows a single batch of processing instead of having to do two batches – while maintaining the small footprint of a handy small countertop device. The container doesn’t require twisting to hook onto the base or initiate the motor. The top also doesn’t require any twisting and just sits on top. Press the top down and the motor starts. SOOO much easier to use than other small models and a very powerful motor to boot. I use it to make humus, rough cut carrots, fine cut onions other vegetables for my spaghetti sauce and other recipes. I highly recommend this product to all of you out there who need something simple and powerful to get the job done without having to pull out the big beast. Enjoy!
I have this and purchased another. When my granddaughter was setting up her first home, I bought her this appliance. She loves chicken salad and was using a mixer to shred the chicken. I showed her how I used this small chopper and she loved how easy it was. I bought her one to take to her new home.
Decent initial value overall. Note: This is an initial product review after one week of limited and mild use only. I use the machine no more than 45 seconds overall during each use and use it 5 to 7 times a week. I use this product only to blend minced/chunck wet cat food into a patte consistency. This initial review was posted on 28 April 2024. I will follow up with a long-term review, if anything changes.PERFORMANCEPositives:- relatively quiet compared to my old Protor Silex mini food processor- safety feature is intuitive making it faster to start blending compared to my old Proctor Silex- does a good job of mincing and blending chunks of meat.- hand clean up is very easy. I quick rinse the blending compartment, the blade and the top/cover with hot sink water, spray everything with soap and then fill with hot sink water to the top, close the cover/lid & let it sit for a little while in the sink. When I have the time again, I empty the soapy water, rinse everything out and set aside to dry.Negatives- The gap between the low and the high blade is big enough so that anything under 4 oz will not mince or blend evenly. Even after stopping and pushing the food down, 3 different time in-between the blending, chunks of meat still remained unblended. The 5.5 oz can wet cat food blends perfectly in about 20 or so seconds.BUILD QUALITY- After using it in a limited and mild capacity for only a week, the initial impression is that the motor is strong, but overall the unit feels light, plasticky and on the cheaper side. The proctor silex unit felt a sturdier & better built than this. I hope though that this unit lasts longer than my proctor silex unit, which lasted only 8 months of mild use before it died. 30-45 second use, 1 time a day, 5 to 7 days a week.
Love it!!! Works pretty good; cleans up super easy. #####Original Review on August 28, 2024#####Simply WE LOVE IT!!!It works pretty good for small quantities and cleans up super easy!!! Be it chopping/dicing the vegetables into tiny bits or processing the food to a smooth consistency it can do it all either by pulsating or blending it. The blade is thin and super sharp too.We have been using it for several things since we got it a month or so ago and have made several dishes such as Guacamole, Sauces, diced veggies(onions, peppers, carrots), Indian chutneys with nuts and veggies aka Roti Pachadi etc.It’s a simple setup of base motor, blade and a lid with a pulsating ON/OFF button; that’s it. To clean it I just use a silicon spatula to get all the contents out, then you just need to rinse the blade and the container under tap, apply some warm soapy water and rinse it again….it’s that simple. The container, blade and the lid are not dish washer safe as they are pretty light weight.Overall, a great value simple vegetable chopper and processor that works like a champ.########Update October 8th, 2024 ############This has become our go to blender/chopper for all our chopping needs unless we need it a certain way especially for onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro, mint etc. We even threw some chunks of chicken breast, salt, jalapenos, few garlic cloves, onions, cilantro, cumin and coriander powder and gave it a spin for few seconds and this beast was able to mince everything together perfectly without any problem to make some yummy chicken patties…way to go Hamilton Beach!!!

Great for small tasks. Great mini food processor. Takes up less space than the last one I had so I’m able to leave it on the counter. Very powerful machine that just takes a few seconds with most tasks. Easy to wash and dry – just be careful with the blade! Great time saver especially when you are preparing meals for one or two people. Good price, too.
Very easy to use. This mini chopper is very easy to use, almost too easy. Wouldn’t let a little kid use it, but then again I wouldn’t let a little kid use any appliance with fast moving blades. It chops great, only issue is you have to scrape the walls down couple times, but that would be with any chopper. if you’re chopping a lot for a party or family gathering, this really saves time and does a good job.
Super convenient. I love this processor. It’s perfect for small kitchen spaces. It’s powerful enough to grind almonds, which was perfect for making granola, also great for smoothies, sauces, etc. I love that it’s so easy to clean and that the blade doesn’t come in contact with the motor at all like some blenders. Highly recommend
This little chopper works like a big boy. For the money, it’s t absolutely worthy for the money. The chopper chops so fast that you no more than push the button, it’s done. Its power works like a bigger chopper. And FAST! It’s durable and easy to assembly and easy to clean.
