Hamilton Beach Electric Vegetable Chopper & Mini Food Processor, 3-Cup, 350 Watts, for Dicing, Mincing, and Puree, Black (72850)

All around wonderfully designed and very nicely made, i do not know where to begin in describing how practical and useful this appliance would be. It is home kitchen size, not large, and although it is described as having a 3-cup chopping bowl, in practice this chopper was actually designed to chop up to 1 1/2-cups of carrots or onions, etc., carrots sliced into about 1-inch lengths or onions sliced into about 1-inch cubes, for instance, which makes sense because the chopping process inside this appliance needs to have enough overhead free space to flip and overturn what is being chopped in order to regulate the uniformity of the chopping, to not produce a mixture of both finely minced and uncut carrots or onions, etc., and its operator's instruction page includes some useful tips on how to use this chopper. This chopper is about all of what a single person, a couple or a small family could need and if you hit the limit of what a single 1 1/2-cup chopping can produce, then simply cut up some more, put it in the chopper and produce more, in other words it is possible for this chopper to satisfy you, you two, you few, you several and more. It is said fruits and veggies are more nutritious when eaten raw, uncooked, but who wants to chew on chunks of raw carrots or raw onions in their salad? But now, this chopper can reduce those chunks into tasty little, easy to chew, flavorful tidbits. And for those who appreciate what a Chinese wok can do, cook your rice in the wok then put the cooked rice into a bowl at the side of the stove, then cook or sauté your fruits, meats, veggies, or whatever, before putting the rice back into the hot wok along with just enough cooking oil to make everything just a little bit slick and slippery, then, at the last minute, once everything has been cooked, flipped over and mixed up, this is the time to add additional flavorings, seasonings and spices, including finely chopped onion, etc., before giving everything in the wok a quick, mix it up, final flip-over. That same method can successfully be used in any Eastern or Western cookpan or cookpot but Chinese wok design is particularly good at that. Lodge of Tennessee, USA, makes cast iron woks, 12-inch useful, 14-inch even better. Cast iron and carbon steel woks break-in or season in about the same way, scrub them clean in kitchen sink water, but use NO soap or detergent, then put them on a low heat stove to thoroughly dry them, and when cooled down lightly coat their insides with cooking oil. Anyway, this little chopper is very useful, much better and easier than doing such fine slicing by hand, recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Perfect for Quick Chops and Small Batches!I absolutely love this little food chopper! The Hamilton Beach 72850 is compact, powerful, and super easy to use. It’s perfect for quick meal prep—chopping onions, garlic, herbs, or even making a small batch of salsa or hummus. The one-touch press-and-go design is a game changer—no complicated settings, just stack and press!It has just the right size for small jobs, and it doesn’t take up much counter space. Cleanup is a breeze too—everything comes apart easily and is dishwasher safe. For the price, it’s an amazing value and definitely a kitchen essential if you cook regularly.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to save time in the kitchen without investing in a big bulky food processor!

I can’t believe how much I spent on this and how much I’ve been using it since! Sure it’s small but it’s pretty mighty. I have a family of 3 so I didn’t want anything too expensive and big. I actually love how small it is because it’s so easy to clean and put away. I always recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap but durable food processor.

I’ve been using this for over a month now and I’m fully satisfied with it. The build quality is impressive, especially how well it maintains water resistance during operation. I also appreciate the long shaft design, which is a significant improvement over the shorter shafts in most blenders that tend to wear out faster due to torsion stress.My two complaints are that the blades are more suited for chopping and mincing, they don’t make smooth pastes as well. I previously used a Magic Bullet, which created finer pastes but was noisy and wore out quickly. I wish there were alternative blade options for this model. Another complaint is that the wire is too short.That said, I’m happy with the product overall and, judging by its design, I believe it will be durable and long-lasting.

I have a medium sized cuisinart and a blendtec but both are too large to chop small things like an onion or some nuts. The food just gets stuck on the sides while the blade whirrs around empty space. But this powerful little blender is perfect for all sorts of things. I make snacks that blend dates and nuts and I was worried that this would not be able to handle them but no problem! Plus it's super easy to clean and doesn't take a lot of square footage to store.

This little guy is GREAT!!! I had previously purchased a food processor that was more than twice as much. The bowl broke the second time I used it (actually my fault-the part that holds the shredding blade had fallen inside and I didn't know it). A replacement bowl cost $1 less than an entire new unit! What a rip off, so I was not going to spend that much money again. I ordered this one and it is JUST AS GOOD as the expensive one. I even made peanut butter in it (taking it slow to be sure it did not overheat). I LOVE THIS HAMILTON BEACH FOOD PROCESSOR!!!
