⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Perfect for Quick Chops and Small Batches!I absolutely love this little food chopper! The Hamilton Beach 72850 is compact, powerful, and super easy to use. It’s perfect for quick meal prep—chopping onions, garlic, herbs, or even making a small batch of salsa or hummus. The one-touch press-and-go design is a game changer—no complicated settings, just stack and press!It has just the right size for small jobs, and it doesn’t take up much counter space. Cleanup is a breeze too—everything comes apart easily and is dishwasher safe. For the price, it’s an amazing value and definitely a kitchen essential if you cook regularly.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to save time in the kitchen without investing in a big bulky food processor!

Quite happy with this thus far (3 weeks into use). Wanted a small food processor for chopping/making pesto/etc. This meets my needs.PROS:- Low cost so low risk in case it sits in my cabinet for months at a time!- Chopped up fresh basil & pine nuts & garlic with ease. Made a great pesto!- Can "shred" a block of cheese for easier melting. Nothing pretty in the end product but easier than doing by hand if you don't mind the output.- Easy to clean up and store.CONS:- Don't let the kids wash the blade. My teen did, and gave himself a nasty cut on the sharp blade!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Five stars for this item except the box was all mashed when delivered. This chopper worked right out of the box. Delivered today and already made slaw and chicken salad. Powerful motor - super easy clean up. Tempted to buy another while the price is right!

All around wonderfully designed and very nicely made, i do not know where to begin in describing how practical and useful this appliance would be. It is home kitchen size, not large, and although it is described as having a 3-cup chopping bowl, in practice this chopper was actually designed to chop up to 1 1/2-cups of carrots or onions, etc., carrots sliced into about 1-inch lengths or onions sliced into about 1-inch cubes, for instance, which makes sense because the chopping process inside this appliance needs to have enough overhead free space to flip and overturn what is being chopped in order to regulate the uniformity of the chopping, to not produce a mixture of both finely minced and uncut carrots or onions, etc., and its operator's instruction page includes some useful tips on how to use this chopper. This chopper is about all of what a single person, a couple or a small family could need and if you hit the limit of what a single 1 1/2-cup chopping can produce, then simply cut up some more, put it in the chopper and produce more, in other words it is possible for this chopper to satisfy you, you two, you few, you several and more. It is said fruits and veggies are more nutritious when eaten raw, uncooked, but who wants to chew on chunks of raw carrots or raw onions in their salad? But now, this chopper can reduce those chunks into tasty little, easy to chew, flavorful tidbits. And for those who appreciate what a Chinese wok can do, cook your rice in the wok then put the cooked rice into a bowl at the side of the stove, then cook or sauté your fruits, meats, veggies, or whatever, before putting the rice back into the hot wok along with just enough cooking oil to make everything just a little bit slick and slippery, then, at the last minute, once everything has been cooked, flipped over and mixed up, this is the time to add additional flavorings, seasonings and spices, including finely chopped onion, etc., before giving everything in the wok a quick, mix it up, final flip-over. That same method can successfully be used in any Eastern or Western cookpan or cookpot but Chinese wok design is particularly good at that. Lodge of Tennessee, USA, makes cast iron woks, 12-inch useful, 14-inch even better. Cast iron and carbon steel woks break-in or season in about the same way, scrub them clean in kitchen sink water, but use NO soap or detergent, then put them on a low heat stove to thoroughly dry them, and when cooled down lightly coat their insides with cooking oil. Anyway, this little chopper is very useful, much better and easier than doing such fine slicing by hand, recommended!

I’ve had this Hamilton Beach Mini Food Processor for a few weeks now, and it’s earned a permanent spot on my kitchen counter. I already own a Ninja and a Vitamix, so I wasn’t exactly in need of another appliance, but I found that when it comes to smaller jobs - chopping a single onion, pulsing some herbs, or making a quick salsa - the bigger machines are just overkill. They don’t work well unless there’s a good amount of volume, and clean-up becomes a chore. This little 3-cup unit fills that gap perfectly.What stands out most is how effective the blade design is. The cross-sectional profile seems especially well thought out - it doesn’t just spin, it actually chops, giving you consistent results without turning everything into mush. The motor also surprised me. For its size, it delivers quite a punch. I’ve used it to mince garlic/ginger/chillies, puree cooked vegetables, and make small batches of pesto, and it hasn’t struggled yet.Cleanup is a non-issue. Everything rinses off easily, and the compact parts don’t take up half the sink like the Vitamix does. My only complaint is the noise. For such a small machine, it’s surprisingly loud - like industrial-blender level rickety loud. It’s not a deal breaker, but you probably don’t want to run it while someone’s on a phone call nearby.If you do a lot of solo cooking or just want something convenient for quick tasks, this one makes a lot of sense. Just brace for the noise.

This little food processor works like a charm and is a quick and easy to use when you are just chopping one thing. East to clean and a great deal for the price.

Best thing my old chopper ever did? Finally die, prompting me to order this one! The price should tell you that it’s not a fancy food processor. But if you’re looking for a simple chopper that’ll work well, clean up easily, and take up limited space…this is it.
