Rating: - Most useful kitchen gadget ever
I bought this, like many others I'm sure, on Delia's recommendation in her Cheat recipe book. It has been in almost daily use in my kitchen since the moment it arrived, about six months ago, so I thought I would add a review based on my experience. It is small - very small, so doesn't take up nearly as much space on the kitchen counter as having a food processor sitting there. It is very easy to take apart, clean and put back together again - these things are really essential for a kitchen machine being used as often as this one will be! Most importantly however, it really does what it says on the box really well. It chops things. Quickly, evenly, finely (if you press the button down for a longer period of time) coarsely (if you just press ... Read More:

which does exactly what it says on its box, and is not likely to end up relegated to a dark corner of a cupboard!
Efficient in its own right, this super item became especially famous as a 'Delia Cheat Gadget!' (earning itself a removable label on both the box and the item.. in the process!) with the publication of the book - Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking and by the TV programme of the same name!
But do shop around for the best price, as the prices were a bit high for a while, when it became a rarity!
Small enough to be easily stored - but keep it in a safe place as the stainless steel blade...not surprisingly.......is ULTRA SHARP!
Assembles easily and has a safety locking mechanism on the lid, ensuring ... Read More:

its been ages since i ordered this little marvel for my darling wife. and if the route to my heart is through my stomach, this little whipper-snapper has surely eased the passage no end! the chopper has been in use for over 3 years now and none of the components have malfunctioned yet. in fact, the blade is still scarily sharp! i would strongly suggest any family of 2 to invest in this lil' genius ... healthy cooking is definitely a breeze with its help. i guess delaying this review so long simply goes to prove how much we've been enjoying this product.

It was well worth the wait for this to come back into stock following Delia's exploits. This is a very handy and powerful little tool. Small enough to be easily stored and easily accessed rather than having the bind of getting out the full size food processor (currently in a box on top of the fridge right at the back!). It takes a little practice getting used to quite how powerful this is. Cut an onion into quarters before you put it in the mini chopper and it'll practically puree it in 10 seconds. If you want your items a little more chunky e.g. mushrooms then just pulse it a little. The trick is not to overfill so things have a chance to move around in the bowl and nothing gets stuck. The bowl itself is quite straightforward to remove once you get ... Read More:

This is a fantastic little machine. I've had mine for a while now and have found it really useful for chopping and fine chopping veg (that's all i've used it for so far). It chops one small to medium sized onion, at a time, and although you need to chop things into large chunks (1/4's or 1/8's) to fit them in the small bowl, I still find this less hassle compared to handling and cleaning a normal sized processor. I've also found the bowl quite easy to remove and replace. The best thing is it hardly takes up any space at all in the cupboard, on your work surface or in the dishwasher and it's really lightweight.
