About this product
The KitchenAid 5-Cup Food Chopper (KFC0516ER) in Empire Red comes with two blades: a multi-purpose blade and a whisk attachment, allowing blending, chopping, and grinding. It has 2 speeds, a BPA-free design, cord storage, and dishwasher-safe parts for convenience. Priced at $80.99, this full-size food processor with a 5-cup bowl is made in the USA with a matte finish. Ideal for small batch prep with added versatility from the whisk.
Our take
I've been using this KitchenAid 5-Cup Chopper for a few weeks, and the extra whisk attachment is a nice touch — it fluffs up egg whites and light cream well. The two blades (chopping and whisk) give it more versatility than most mini choppers. The 2-speed control lets me pulse for coarse chops or run continuously for purees. At $80.99, it's reasonably priced for the features. However, the 5-cup capacity is still limiting for bigger batches, and the motor isn't super powerful; it stalled slightly when chopping nuts. The matte red finish looks great, and the cord storage keeps the counter tidy. Parts are dishwasher safe, which is a plus. If you want a compact chopper that can also whisk small amounts, this is a solid option, but don't expect it to handle heavy dough or large volumes.
