This is a high quality little food chopper as I would expect from Cuisinart. After hand surgery this chopper has been a huge help. It does take a bit of practice at first but after a little trial and error I find this easy to use. Don’t let the small size fool you. It does hold 4 cups. Every part is dishwasher safe so clean up is not a problem. Stores well too. I’m very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend!
I replaced my old Cuisinart mini chopper with this 4 cup two speed model. 4 cusps is, for me, a good size and I really like the reversing two speed design. I have made butter, chopped vegies and course spices. Works perfectly. The two speeds are great for making butter too.
While we have a food processor, for smaller batches the 4 cup chopper provides a good base for rough/fine chops of vegetables. The buttons are basic, the cup large enough for a single medium to large onion, and the device does a fine job of chopping vegetables. The bowl is easy to clean, and a rinse between each vegetable chopped is all that's needed before proceeding to the next vegetable prep.
The chopper would not turn on. I have returned it.

Not much to say other than if you want a quick way to chop or puree, this does the job very well. Furthermore, given that it's just a blade, bowl and lid cleanup - hand wash or dishwasher - is quick.
A gift from my d-i-l. She recently got one for herself and I was interested in its functions and design. It's small but mighty and takes little space on my countertop. I was very impressed my first use; chopping fresh thyme and garlic, then mixing my goat and cream cheeses with some honey. It was perfect in such little time. I don't know how I've lived without this and it's become a regular part of my daily food prep. Thank you Cuisinart!
Simple and perfect for small jobs. If you need to chop or mince a small amount and don’t want to break out—or clean—your big Cuisinart, this machine is what you need.
