Why we picked it
- It fills the gap between a knife and a full-size food processor: small batches of onions, herbs, nuts and breadcrumbs, chopped in seconds.
- The design is proven and simple. One-touch pulse control, bi-level stay-sharp blades and a 150W motor, backed by 4.6 stars from 23,359 ratings.
- Cleanup is genuinely easy. The removable parts go in the dishwasher, which is why owners keep it on the counter instead of in a cupboard.
For small chopping jobs, this is faster than a knife and far less bother than a full-size processor. The BLACK+DECKER 1.5-Cup Chopper answers the everyday question directly: garlic, onions, herbs and nuts are done in a few pulses, and the parts rinse or go straight into the dishwasher.
It suits small households, new cooks building a first kitchen and anyone who makes guacamole, salsa, pesto or breadcrumb toppings in modest quantities. The lid’s oil holes make it a quiet favorite for hummus and salad dressings too.
Skip it if you regularly prep for a crowd or want one machine that also kneads dough and purees soups. The 1.5-cup capacity is a deliberate trade: small footprint and easy cleaning in exchange for batch limits.

What buyers complain about
From real critical reviews on Amazon. Every pick has trade-offs; these are this one's.
- The 1.5-cup bowl is small by design, so family-size batches of salsa or soup prep mean running it several times.
- It will not replace a full-size food processor for doughs, large volumes or very fine purees, and buyers who expect that are disappointed.
