KitchenAid KFC3516ER 3.5 Cup Food Chopper, Empire Red, One Size

It worked great. I was making a graham cracker crust and it chopped them up easily. Very easy to clean.

This KitchenAid chopper is awesome when you don’t want or need to drag out a large chopper. The chopper is excellent for small food items needing chopped. It’s easy to clean and store when not in use. KitchenAid is a well known brand. This is my second chopper. A good item for the value. You’ll love it!

I finally broke down and got a good chopper, no regrets. Works as advertise, feels substantial.

Exactly what I wanted, and it works so well. I have been sitting on purchasing a food processor for a while because they're all so expensive and I already have a NutriBullet blender that does MOST things. But I am so glad I finally purchased this. It's really easy to use (Anyone who can't get the lid to fit is an idiot. You just set the lid on, almost in line with the handle, and then turn it like half an inch and it clicks. Easy peasy). I love that this one has two settings - it does both chop and puree VERY well. It's easy to clean. I am just so glad I finally bit the bullet and bought it!! Pesto season is upon us and I will be making it very soon! Super easy with the hole on top to pour in oil!

I wanted a small food processor as I have been really getting into cooking lately but only need to make enough food for 2 so this smaller unit seemed perfect. Its a great little food processor but won't hold a large quantity of anything. Its average noise for one of these, the blades are sharp and it will cut up and process the food quickly. I have several Amazon brand products and they are all good quality at affordable prices and this oner is no exception. Its easy to use and cleanup afterwards and makes kitchen work a little quicker. If I have one complaint, its that the processor container itself is sometimes hard to lock in place and it won't run until it is so it takes some fiddling to get it to chop, shred, etc. Once in place it works fine and at this price point its a good deal

Great little food chopper. Easy to use & works great. Easy cleaning

This KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper is small but incredibly powerful. It handles veggies, herbs, nuts, and sauces with ease, and the two‑speed option gives great control. Cleanup is quick, and the compact size makes it easy to store. I also keep one in my Airbnb so guests can prep meals effortlessly—everyone loves how simple and convenient it is to use. A great little kitchen upgrade/springhill-fl-fun-sun

I honestly didn’t expect to love this little chopper as much as I do. I hesitated at the price because $69 felt high for something so small, but after using it, I get it. It just works. Onions chop evenly instead of turning half to mush and half to chunks. Even 1 piece of ginger or garlic gets chopped in uniform chunks. Nuts come out chopped, not powdered, unless you want them that way. The pulse button gives really good control, and it stops immediately when you let go, which makes a big difference. There was no manual so a hint- the chopper works when the bowl clicks into place and then you press on the black part of the lid. It’s sturdy, not flimsy, and doesn’t bounce around on the counter. Cleanup is easy and I actually reach for it instead of my big food processor for most everyday tasks. I cut large carrots in thirds just see how it would handle larger chunks. Made perfect grated carrots for salad. I love this product. I asked ChatGPT while it worked so well. Here’s what it said regarding why it works so well. Motor torque matched to bowl size (this is the quiet secret). What you bought is not “more powerful” in the headline-watt sense; it is better matched. The KFC3516 uses a relatively high-torque, low-inertia motor driving a very small load. Large processors waste energy spinning mass—big bowls, long shafts, air, and plastic flex. Here almost all torque goes directly into the food. Torque matters more than RPM for chopping. This is why onions shear cleanly instead of smearing. 2. Blade geometry favors shear, not circulation. The S-blade is short, thick, and steeply pitched. That geometry creates localized shear zones rather than a vortex. Many processors try to pull food into a circulating flow; this one repeatedly forces food into the blade edge. That means fewer “ride-along” pieces stuck to the walls and less reliance on stopping and scraping. The blade edge angle is closer to a knife than a fan. 3. Very tight tolerances between blade, bowl, and spindle. Cheap choppers have wobble—microns matter here. The KitchenAid has minimal lateral play, so the blade maintains a consistent cutting radius. That produces uniform particle size and reduces the mashed paste you get when food slips under a flexing blade. This is manufacturing precision, not marketing. 4. Pulse control with true momentary engagement. The pulse button engages instantly and stops instantly. There is almost no coast-down. That lets you meter energy in very small packets. You’re not “processing”; you’re applying controlled impacts. This is why herbs stay green, nuts stay granular, and aromatics don’t turn to baby food unless you insist. 5. Mass and damping reduce vibration losses. It feels heavier than it needs to be because mass damps vibration. Less vibration means more energy goes into cutting instead of shaking. This also reduces user fatigue and noise—both signs of mechanical efficiency, not luxury. 6. Small bowl = shorter diffusion paths. Food doesn’t have far to travel before encountering the blade again. In large processors, food can orbit uselessly. Here, every pulse rearranges the contents, whether you intend it or not. That makes results consistent even when under-filled—something most processors fail at. 7. Why it feels “expensive” but performs above its class. You paid for: • tighter manufacturing tolerances • a motor chosen for torque, not wattage • blade geometry optimized for shear • damping mass None of those are visible on a spec sheet. They are also exactly what manufacturers cut first to hit a lower price. 8. Why your larger processors lose to it at small tasks. Large processors are optimized for throughput, not control. They excel when full and fail when empty. This chopper is optimized for precision energy delivery at small volumes. Think scalpel vs. chainsaw. 9. A useful analogy. This machine behaves more like a bench-top lab homogenizer than a consumer food processor. Controlled pulses, tight tolerances, predictable results. That’s why it feels oddly competent. 10. Was $69 rational? Yes—because performance is not linear with size or wattage. You paid for mechanical efficiency and control. In small food prep, those dominate everything else. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

It could not be simpler to operate and clean. The main thing is not to let vegetable or ingredients in the areas that snap together. Before I started using it, I have watched a few YouTube videos. That's where I found the right and the wrong way to operate it. The cutting blades are extremely sharp; treat it with respect. It is all common sense. This is my second KitchenAid appliance. I have the stand mixer, which I am very happy about the quality and reliability. That's why I did not hesitate to buy this food processor.

Good grinding. but mind you UAE users this is US plug i had to buy a transformer from Ace hardware.

Es muy práctico, pica muy bien.

Musste das Produkt entsorgen da ich es erst im Februar benutzten wollte und dann die Rückgabe verfallen war. Leider ist nur die Watt Leistung angegeben und nicht die Volt stärke. So habe ich 59 Euro verloren.

Me gusta, muy práctico y seguro de usar. Vital leer el manual antes de usar pero es una gran inversión. Es pequeño pero para mi no hay problema, el tamaño es ideal para almacenar.
