Cuisinart Core Custom 4-Cup Mini Chopper, Mini Food Processor Chops and Grinds with Auto-Reversing Stainless Steel SmartPower Blade, Dishwasher-Safe Parts, MCH-4, White/Stainless Steel

This machine is an upgrade from their previous model which we have had for about 15 years now. Although the older one is still working and the blade is strong, I felt the need for a new one. I googled reviews and lo & behold the same machine although upgraded had the most favorable reviews by a long shot. Those reviews are correct! I love the new machine; it has slightly larger capacity and the design of the movement of the blades is more efficient and is chopping and grinding so much better with no more pieces remaining at the bottom. This machine is so worth the money; I am really happy with it!

THis is a very handy kitchen appliance. I like it for chopping up apple pieces or onion. It does not take a lot of space on my countertop. However, if the pieces I put into it are too big it does not start to chop them. like the full size Cuisinart food processor does.

Great for chopping garlic and ginger. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Sharp blades chop and mince. A mighty might.

I purchased the Cuisinart Core Series 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder in March 2024, hoping it would be a reliable kitchen companion.First ImpressionsThe first few uses were satisfactory; the chopper/grinder efficiently handled basic tasks like chopping vegetables and blending dressings.Performance IssuesHowever, my experience took a turn after about two months of use. I had used the chopper/grinder around eight times, primarily for making hummus and salad dressings. During my eighth use, while making hummus, the unit abruptly stopped working. After about a 10-minute break, I tried to restart the unit. It worked for approximately 20 seconds before stopping again. I had to transfer the partially processed ingredients to a blender to finish the recipe. I reached out to Cuisinart customer service. To their credit, they were responsive and sent me a replacement unit.Replacement Unit WoesUnfortunately, the replacement unit also proved disappointing. On its very first use, it stopped processing halfway through the ingredients. I waited another 10 minutes, after which the unit restarted, allowing me to finish the task. This pattern of stopping and starting made the experience incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.Customer ServiceWhile I appreciate Cuisinart's prompt response and willingness to send a replacement, the fundamental issue with the product's performance remained unresolved. The issue would appear to be due to overheating, but it never felt warm when it stopped working.ConclusionGiven my experience, I would not recommend the Cuisinart Core Series 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder. Consistency and reliability are crucial for kitchen appliances, and this product fell short on both fronts. I got two months of use from the first unit and barely one use from the second unit...that's unacceptable for any appliance, let alone one from Cuisinart. For anyone considering a compact chopper/grinder, I would suggest looking into other options that offer better performance and reliability. That's what I am doing.

Small and inexpensive. It's not going to work for a big family, butt will make fairly smooth hummus for a couple with small appetites. It's two settings are two spin the blades forward to chop or backwards to "grind".

Is used to grind my dogs kibble. does a good job.

Superb kitchen machine, low blade is very close to bottom so grinds a few pieces of garlic and other small things without leaving chunks. Ideal size, feels sturdy, powerful, comes assembled. Only small issue is it seems to over chop (so powerful it immediately minces) but that may be overcome as I get used to how it functions.

This is a very reliable little food processor. I have used it very frequently for over a year and it always performs nicely.

Solo había usado una vez la mini chopper hace 3 meses y hoy intenté usarla de nuevo y no funcionó. Me sentí muy decepcionada, pero vi un video en internet donde destacan la importancia de alinear bien la pieza. Lo hice y funcionó sin problema.

Simple to use, easy to clean, perfect size, very versatile

Works great.
