Customers appreciate the 5 Cup Cordless Rechargeable Chopper's ease of use, cordless design, and long battery life. Many also highlight its compact size and surprisingly powerful motor for its size, along with its generally high-quality construction. However, some users note inconsistencies in the chopping action and find the lid design somewhat challenging. Overall, the positive feedback on convenience and performance outweighs the concerns about chopping consistency and lid usability.
This 2-speed, 5-cup chopper is large enough for so many things and is so much more than just a chopper, especially with the whisk attachment that comes with it. I call this my mini-blender which works great for nearly anything you can think of. What an advantage this particular chopper is…IT IS CORDLESS!!!! I was a bit skeptical about it being cordless, but it works great and doesn’t lose any power. This chopper is easy to clean and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. You can put this anywhere on your countertop, and you don’t have to worry about an outlet being nearby. Insert ingredients and push a button. So portable you can take it anywhere. Bring it to your picnic table and make things right there. I buy natural homemade peanut butter and will be trying that and see if it is any cheaper to make than buying it. I know the homemade almond butter is about $9.99 per pound. However, plain homemade peanut butter is $3.99 per pound. Not sure it is any cheaper making it yourself, but at least you know exactly what ingredients are in it. With the whisk accessory, you will be amazed at the endless things you can do. My daughter wanted to try whipped cream with it. I only had skim milk and told her it wouldn’t do it…I was wrong…It literally whipped it up in less than a minute, although of course it was a bit loose in comparison to the thicker real whipped cream. For some vegetables you will find you need to cut them up a bit before putting them into the plastic container, so they will fit and to help along with the chopping process. I also have a smaller corded 3-cup KitchenAid chopper. I found this compliments the cordless one, as the whisk, blades and plastic container are interchangeable which is great. With the two of them, I can chop 2 separate things without having to stop what I am doing and wash and dry the container and blades to do the next project. What a time-saver if you cook a LOT like I do! I have had my older KitchenAid chopper for quite a few years and stand by the brand name without any doubt it is one of the best names on the market and very dependable. I absolutely recommend this chopper/mini-blender because of its size and EXTREMELY quick processing which saves a lot of time. This is the perfect size for most any ingredients you need to chop or whisk. This product is so worth the money.

This cordless chopper is surprisingly powerful, and does an awesome job overall chopping pretty much all ingredients you add to the bowl with two selectable speeds. The base material of this chopper is plastic, where the base feels strong and sturdy. The bowl and lid feel a bit plasticky (thin plastic). It was not apparent right away how to remove the lid from the cup (with a left twist), and it feels like one twist the wrong way, the Pulse/On button might snap off. I am hopeful, though, it's durable enough for many years to come. The bowl itself is removed with a right twist. After selecting the speed pressing down the Pulse/On button on the lid starts the action. For a coarse chop, you simply use a pulsing motion by pressing and releasing the Pulse/On button as often as needed. The pictures show how easy it was to chop raw carrots. Amazing and stunning results! The Lithium-Ion battery provides consistent performance and truly recharges quickly in less than 2 hours when fully empty. Despite the overall plasticky feel, I want to recommend this chopper/mini-blender because of its practicality. It gets the job done and does everything you want to chop and/or whisk, and is big enough for a small-sized family. If the bowl and lid were made of thicker plastic I would have given it 5 stars.

When I had the opportunity to try this out, I thought this would be great for the motorhome. It’s smaller, don’t have to worry about the cord in storage (especially if you know it’s only going to get limited use on your trip, then you would just make sure it’s fully charged before leaving), and it would be super easy to use in an outdoor kitchen setting. This is a beefy little guy. That seems to follow right along with the brand. The torque generated is impressive. Use is pretty straight forward, but you will, especially at first, want to follow the manual. Interestingly, the only basic food prep examples listed in the manual have you setting the speed at ‘high’ (there are two speeds). Nothing suggesting ‘low.’ I guess you would just have to experiment based upon your own results. Once you have the ingredients in the main bowl, you use your thumb to create the desired number of pulses. Ver easy to use; very easy to clean. The main downfall that we experienced was the inconsistency of the grind. You can see from the picture, when chopping an onion, we had everything from limp micro-shreds to a huge, almost untouched, chunk. To be fair, we probably didn’t prep the onion chunks small enough. The manual recommends 1” which almost seems like you may as well just finish the job with a knife. We had only quartered the onion. However, similar results were had when we tried a couple handfuls of almonds — we ended up with everything from almond halves to almond powder. So, I say again, you just need to be willing to experiment with your technique. Maybe removing the bowl for some quick up-and-down jostles (especially with something like the almonds) before adding a few more pulses, I don’t know. The next time I do an onion, I’ll definitely try to cut the onion at least into eighths to see if that helps. I’m looking forward to trying some homemade salsa, but I know I may need to fish out some large pieces. We’ll see. The inconsistency in chopping that we’ve already experienced is why I’m removing a star. Overall, this seems to be a well made product. Does the cordless aspect make it enough to replace your food processor? Probably not. But I do think there’s definitely a place for it if you’ve ever wished you had something like this in your RV.
