Ninja Food Chopper Express Chop with 200-Watt, 16-Ounce Bowl for Mincing, Chopping, Grinding, Blending and Meal Prep (NJ110GR)

LOVE IT! This is just the right size and works great. Easy to clean too.

USE IT FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE and you will love it. I chop onions and other vegetables practically every day. This is where this little machine excels. Takes very little space. If you are comparing it to a large food processor which chops and mixes large volumes of hard stuff like nuts, then you are making an unfair comparison. People who buy the wrong things for the wrong purpose and leave a negative review, do a great disservice to potential buyers. I have noticed this with many other products, a few negative reviewers made me think twice, cost me weeks of additional research, only to find that some people used a sandal for rock climbing or not knowing the difference between a slow juicer and a blender; there are numerous examples, but I do not want to digress further.The process I am describing will work with most vegetables, but take onion for instance. In the past, I often cut it buy hand, because the process of cutting it into smaller pieces, scraping it out, then washing it took longer than cutting it by hand, even though the onion makes most of us "cry".Not so with this machine. I only cut the onion into a few small pieces - five seconds. Because of the four blades, it chops the onion very fast (three to four pulses, i.e. 3-4 seconds) and evenly. The top section and the inner cover comes off instantly, even though it is very well secured while running. Pull out the blade unit (very easy, hold it by the top so you do not run the danger of cutting your hand) and run it under the tap, 4-5 seconds; getting the onion out directly into the pot is again very easy, because of the wide tubular design. No nooks and crannies that would slow you down. I never put it into the sink (to wash later), since washing it out - completely - takes less than five seconds. Voila! You are done. Your onion is perfectly cut in the size you want it (depending on how many times you press the pulse button, which is very responsive) and the three unit parts that I washed/rinsed in seconds are drying in the drying tray next to the sink. Putting it back is ridiculously fast. If I prepare a huge amount of many different vegetables or nuts, then I use the food processor, which takes a lot longer to wash out. But for every day cooking in a hurry, THIS UNIT IS FANTASTIC.

The Ninja Food Chopper Express Chop is a compact yet powerful kitchen tool designed for quick and easy food prep. It features sharp stainless-steel blades that handle chopping, mincing, and pureeing with ease. With its simple one-touch pulse operation, it’s perfect for preparing sauces, dressings, salsas, and more.

First, This is a long winded review, I am over 60 Dad who loves to cook and bake and now lives alone with just my dog (Lucy).I do have two wonderful adult boys who are out on there own.I bought this a few years ago because they would come over for dinner without any warning.They really looked forward to our meals together whether it was a big spread for dinner or some delicious waffles for breakfast. It never mattered what time of day it was, they knew when they were here I would prepare something delicious.But I found I needed a chopper to speed up my prep time !!They enjoy my cooking because I take the time to make my food, unlike many who open cans or boxes and we’re never taught how to cook or bake.I have had this for a couple of years, I originally bought it to chop up some veggies, and to speed up my prep time and it did a great job.At that time I was enjoying cooking and doing quite a bit, and trying to make everything from scratch.But as time went by the kids had moved into the fast lane of life and I have no regrets, but making a big dinner for one (me) just got to be too much.So my little chopper started living in the pantry (I actually forgot I even had it).I want to mention that I have a full sized have a Cuisinart Food processor, but to get it out of the pantry and to actually use it, was just a pain. It was too big for what I needed.I also want to mention that I also have a little Havanese (Lucy) who is my more than just a dog, she is my companion/friend.So recently Lucy got sick, still not sure what is or was wrong with her since I am still treating her.I had done a lot of research and had put her on a rice and boiled chicken diet. This works pretty good, but cutting up the cooked chicken was not really doing what I needed. Then I remembered this little chopper. I got it out of the pantry, cleaned it up, and put it back to work. It really does a fantastic job of cutting up the chicken and at the same time blending the chicken and rice and some of her dry food together. Fantastic!!! Problem solved, now she eats all of her food, instead of just finding the chicken and pushing the rest out on the floor. I am already coming up with some other uses for this little chopper. And if it get worn out or if it develops some cracks, whatever, I will just get another one. In fact I may just get another to have on hand. I see a lot of comments about cleaning the area up where the motor sits on the lid, what I do is put about 3/4 cup of water with a couple of drops of dawn, then run the machine for a couple of seconds, ta-dah everything is clean. A quick rinse of the base and a paper towel to dry up my by the gear and I am ready use it again.

Ninja products for preparing and cooking too are some of the best appliances you can get and worth the prices. I had bought one of these many years ago, but lost it after the move to our new place. This machine allows you to chop vegetables and other foods at your own pulse power. Longer pulse, meaning if you press and hold the top longer, will achieve smaller chopping. It is powerful, very easy to use, and easy to clean with caution. All blades are sharp and this is no exception, when it comes to rinsing the blade or cleaning, but this small chopper wonderfully does the chopping and gets rinsed smoothly. The bottom rubber base is very good in keeping it in place, and blades chop in seconds. People often think smaller choppers are not worth the money, but this one gives you a very good amount chopped and done for meal making and more (See the size next to the 2-cup measuring glass) Cut harder and longer vegetables, like carrots before putting in the chopper. Remember this one is a small chopper and you can fit the right amount in the container if you cut the vegetables a little. Don't forget to put the lid on before putting the motor top and start chopping. We are very happy with this chopper.
