KitchenAid 5 Cup Food Chopper - KFC0516, Contour Silver

This chopper is convenient to use and has great features that I like for cleaning:1. the 3ft cord is cylindrical two-pronged (easier to wipe down than a flat cord)2. Dishwasher-safe bowl, blade and accessories, easy to take-apart too.also:1. the chopper is not large and doesn't take up counter space.Same for storage.2. the drizzler on the top is a very thoughtful feature.Pour liquids into the bowl without removing the lid!3. The motor is not super loud.It's not silent by any means, but definitely not overwhelming.4. the 5 cup bowl size is just right.I have used the chopper, which is does so much more than chop! It whips, mixes, purees, stirs!I like homemade guacamole, and it's easy with this unit! Avocados, onion, garlic, tomotoes, olive oil, cilantro, so easily chops up the tomato, onion & garlic (fast), avocado (blink and it's done), using the dripper to add the oil.What I had to learn:1. the lid on/off took a minute to learn for me.Once I learned how to rotate the lid, it was easy.2. Also, turning it on/off took a minute for me to figure out.Again, could be the operator.

This processor completes my various needs.I have smaller processors and I have the larger processors.I needed to one in the middle to complete my needs, and this one is perfect!I was planning to make a simple, sugar free apricot spread using dried apricots and water.My 3 cup processor was too small, and the next in line was my 8 cup processor, that was too big.Enter this 'made-to-order' 5 cup KitchenAid processor.Worked like a champ!Easy to assemble, use, clean, and affordably priced. The unit is also lightweight has a handle that allows me to carry it with one hand. It turned the stewed apricots into a wonderful spread in well under a minute! KitchenAid does not disappoint!!

This little thing is a little different from my larger KitchenAid Food Processor.It is a little tricky to learn and maneuver, but I like it a lot!It works quickly and well! It is a good size too.Better than pulling out the full sized food chopper for a small amount of chopping.
