Reviewed Sharon Franke · reviewer · Dec 2018

Though we liked how convenient it was to use, this food chopper isn’t without flaws. It lacks the features that other food processors we’ve tested have, like kneading dough and processing ingredients in large quantities. Additionally, there’s no chute on the lid that allows you to add ingredients while in use. You’ll have to load everything before running a processing cycle.

Frequently asked questions

It ranks #16 of 16 on our food processors tier list, in F tier. That placement draws on 12 cited sources across 10 outlets.

None of the 11 sources with a clear view is critical of it. Proprietary rechargeable battery will degrade and become the product's failure point. Less torque than a corded chopper. Price premium for the battery - a consumable battery pack with a food chopper attached.

Nobody we can recommend, even though it works decently while new. It is in F tier on our board because its proprietary rechargeable battery will degrade and become the failure point, it has less torque than a corded chopper, and you pay a premium for the battery. Our research calls it a consumable battery pack with a food chopper attached. Buy a corded mini such as the Cuisinart Core Custom 4-Cup Mini Chopper instead.

A corded mini. The Cuisinart Core Custom 4-Cup Mini Chopper in D tier won Food & Wine's mini testing and comes from a line of small motors that survive years of use. If you want to stay with KitchenAid, the KitchenAid 3.5-Cup Food Chopper (KFC3516), also D tier, is durable and widely supported. Both plug into the wall, so there is no battery to wear out.

As long as its battery. Our research describes the proprietary degrading battery as a built-in failure clock: the chopper itself works decently while new, but rechargeable cells lose capacity with every cycle and with age, and when this one can no longer hold a useful charge the product is done. A corded chopper has no such clock.

The battery, above all. It is proprietary, so it is tied to KitchenAid's supply, and it degrades with use until it becomes the product's failure point. The second issue is torque: it has less than a corded chopper, so it works harder on dense loads like nuts and hard cheese. Neither is a defect in the build. They are consequences of the cordless format.

No. Our research lists less torque than a corded chopper as one of its cons. A wall outlet supplies more sustained power than a small battery pack, and a chopper spends its life on dense, sticky loads where torque matters. The cordless format buys grab-and-go convenience at the cost of cutting force.

The battery is a proprietary KitchenAid pack shared across the Go line, so a replacement has to come from KitchenAid rather than a standard cell you can buy anywhere. That leaves you dependent on the maker keeping the pack in stock and priced sensibly, for as long as you own the chopper. It is the reason our research treats the battery as a consumable rather than a part.
