Hamilton Beach 3 Cup Electric Mini Food Chopper

This is a great little food processor for small quantities and cooking for two. We ditched our full size processor after using this a few times. Easy to clean and works well. Takes up very little space either on the counter or in a cabinet. Good price.

have purchased this twice and it is really excellent. The size is perfect for everyday use and it chops onions, garlic, vegetables, and other ingredients very quickly. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and doesn’t take up much space in the kitchen. Great quality for the price and works just as well as larger food processors. Highly recommended.

Works well, chops quickly, easy to use and clean.

I can't give 5 stars to anything that is basically the epitome of planned obsolescence. I know I won't have this unit in 10 years, maybe not in 3.* But what it can do, it does very, very well. And what it does is handle not-too-hard veggies and nuts like a pro in the fine chop to pulverize range. Do *not* overfill it (see manual). Do *not attempt to drop in a big hunk of parm and go to town. (I've chop-grated small dice of parmesean okay, but am not kidding myself that this is good for the machine's longevity.) Chop pecans? I guess. Almonds? Just no. I grab the big food processor if I'm chopping up chocolate chunks. Pulsing is your friend. Push down, count to about 1, stop. Repeat as needed. That's the whole secret to not overprocessing. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, bottom rack or top - not on a bet. The bowl is thin, brittle plastic. I would not even leave it out in the hot sun. I get it, if you're wondering why I give it any stars. It's because what I ask of it is to mince up a little garlic, ginger, onion, maybe some olives, or some fresh herbs. Maybe whip up one or two eggs. At these tasks, it works well, and fast. I save myself washing out the big food processor. And maybe with the next mini-prep I'll go more robust, but checking reviews in 2025, I saw a lot more fancy stuff that didn't come so highly recommended. These little guys tend to break fast anyway; that's my calculus. *I've had my Vitamix for...I think 15 years? It's a beast. Along with my late 1980's Kitchen Aid mixer, it's an heirloom for future generations. I guess for me it's gold standard or something I won't cry over, and no in between.

This little chopper has been a game changer in my kitchen. It’s powerful, easy to use, and chops vegetables quickly and evenly. Cleaning is simple and it saves me a lot of prep time. Great size for daily cooking and excellent value for the price. Highly recommend!

This little chopper is small but mighty! I cook a lot and use it most days. It chops any vegetable; mushrooms, onions, celery, etc., or fruit. Press a few times for a chunkier chop or more for a finer mince. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe too. It’s very sturdy and small enough to tuck into a cabinet. Looks nice on the counter as well. Just buy it!

The Hamilton Beach Mini Food Chopper is a compact and easy-to-use appliance, ideal for chopping vegetables, herbs, and nuts. Its one-touch operation and sharp stainless steel blades provide quick and consistent results. While it’s best for small portions, it offers good performance and convenience at an affordable price.

I have used multiple brands of mini-choppers. None of them last more than a couple years. This one is a great value for the money. It’s easier to use bc you just add the items to chop, then press down on the lid. No turning and locking a lid with a thin plastic arm. It just works well!
