Braun CH3012BK EasyPrep™ Mini Food Processor, 4 cup, Black

I’ve had frustrating experiences with mini processors over the years. They never worked as well as promised. But this one is terrific. Outdoes them all. I love the top motor which is more effective and efficient than the usual bottom motor style. The parts connect easily with little fussing. The double blade works better. Less need to push food down. And since the bottom is solid, no hole for the motor, it is easy to remove the blade, scrape out any processed food on the sides without anything dripping out. Makes it easier to clean, as well. I use it often for grating hard cheese and it does an excellent job.

This chopper replaced a Cuisinart mini prep that finally cracked up. The Braun is a far superior product. The bowl is a heavier plastic, polycarbonate I think, and the whole thing feels more solid. The motor is a bit quieter and has plenty of power. I use it mainly to emulsify vinaigrettes and it does so beautifully, without leaking onto the motor. It’s easy to clean and looks cool. One thing to note is that the heavy motor just sits on the bowl without locking in, which is fine while using it but keep a firm grip on the motor when moving it around. Very happy with this purchase, a great value too.

It’s very powerful little machine - it takes a little getting used to if you don’t want to end up with mushed rather than chopped ingredient. One quick pulse is all it takes :). 2 chopping blades are great!

I really like this chopper, it’s powerful and controllable! You can get exactly the desired consistency! Easy cleanup of course a bonus! Smart purchase.

The reviews about weak motor is TRUE. Mine stopped working only after using it three times since purchase three months ago.

Have always liked Braun Food Processor products. They are well made, substantial and do the job. I particularly like the double stacked blades in the Braun Chopper. It chops evenly and totally rather than leaving large chunks of food.It's easily cleaned and takes up very little counter space.

This is a great mini food processor for making sauces, mayonnaise, salad dressings, etc. and for chopping relatively small amounts of vegetables. It has been helpful in my culinary endeavors.

I loved the product when chopping onions, garlic, carrots, celery. Do not use it on Softer cheeses like Romano or Asiago. It over heated the motor quickly and now it’s broken. I thought if I unplugged it for awhile it might start working but it didn’t so I had to throw it out. Otherwise I liked the double blade and ease of use.
