Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Highly praised for its reverse spiral action blade, which ensures uniform chopping among a wide range of food types. Comes in a range of attractive colors.
As mentioned this food processor is lightweight and compact. Its size makes it perfect for countertops with its design and color compliment almost any interior kitchen decor. This makes the processor great for quick chopping of ingredients, preparation of sauces and dressings, etc.
It takes up almost no space on the countertop if you should choose to leave it out. I like it for quick processing jobs – because it is so quick to use and easy to clean up, but I would also recommend it for someone with a small kitchen.
Though small, it doesn't compromise on performance. Takes up almost no counter space. Come in 16 fun colors.
It chopped vegetables more evenly than the other mini models we tested. On top of that, its handled jar with push-button activation was the most convenient to use. And this KitchenAid is a great option for people who don’t want to invest in a $200 machine

What reviewers didn't like

It's loud, even for a food chopper.
Has a non-tapering base which makes it difficult for people with small hands to grasp.
The only thing that I didn’t like about the processor is that it is a little tricky to get the bowl unlocked from the base.
Only comes with a chopping blase, so you won't be able to slice.
You can’t knead dough or shred ingredients in it.
