Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker EHC650 2-Speed Food Chopper with 3-Cup Bowl
Customer Review: works ok, impossible to clean thoroughly
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a decent little chopper, the blade is nice and sharp and the design is neat (different than the old food processor style), but it didn't do a very good job of moving the ingredients around in the bowl and the motor assembly part is a total pain to clean. I bought this chopper primarily for making sauces and purees, which are inherently very messy and made this chopper very frustrating. There are little words imprinted on the bottom of the motor assembly (the part where you hold & press the buttons) and bits of everything get in there, as well as inside the notch where the blade inserts. Since you can't wash that part in water I had to use a damp rag to wipe it and then a toothpick to get out all the little bits...not fun. I have since replaced it with a Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome and am much happierCustomer Review: Perfect Chopper

Step 1- open box
Step 2- clean all washable parts with warm soapy water, dry
Step 3- start chopping!
If loving the Ergo 3-Cup Food Chopper is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Let's face it-I'm girly, even in the kitchen. For some reason, I can not NOT cry when chopping onions. Holding a slice of bread in my teeth, lighting candles, wearing goggles, rinsing under cold water-NOTHING helps. I tossed medium sized hunks of onion into this little cutie and pulsed a few times. Perfectly chopped onions. I washed it, dried it, and then tossed in chunks of mozzarella. A few pulses and I had mounds of gorgeously white shredded pizza cheese (I only call it that because I was making pizza!)
I have confidence and lust for this food chopper. I am putting my not-so-magic-bullet in the back of the cabinet and my new B&D gets center stage. I've used it 4 days in a row. I wonder how long the blade will stay sharp?
Customer Review: Worth every penny if just to cut those onions!
Summary: 4 Stars
Like other reviewers, I hate cutting onions, and I was thrilled with the nearly instant work that this chopper made of two medium onions. I just chopped each in half, took off the outer couple of layers, and threw them in. A couple of quick pulses and I had dry eyes and very nicely diced onions ready for my cooking project.
I agree with the complaints about the inside top of the unit being hard to clean because it is attached to the motor. It would have been so much better if there was some kind of a liner to toss in the dishwasher. But I am sure I will manage to get the top clean enough for my standards. The only problem will be taking care of it right away before food dries on it.
I read through every single review to see how other people are using this little machine. Lots of great ideas. I hope to try them, and I will never cry alone in my kitchen again, no matter how many onions need to be chopped.
Customer Review: Expect to have this product around for a long time~

I never thought I would be one of *those people* to write a rave review, but this little gadget is my fav in the kitchen. My mother gave me one of these ergo choppers over 6 years ago... it may have been longer. Mine is even a color they no longer make. I have not once had a problem with it, have never had to replace a part, have dropped it several times, have chopped everything from meat, nuts, garlic, and anything else you can think of... the blades have never dulled, it still works like the day my mother gave it to me. I would not consider my kitchen functional without it. I have purchased several ergo's through the last years as gifts for friends, house warming gifts, weddings and the like. You can't go wrong. It is a handy size, cleans well, stylish, and above all the Ergo does the job fabulously. Make certain you buy one for yourself before you get anyone else one, you will not be disappointed. An excellent product~Customer Review: Black & Decker EHC650 Ergo 3-Cup Food Chopper
Summary: 5 Stars
I was searching online for a new mini-food chopper as my current one (A Braun mini-chopper attachment) had given up the ghost after over 10 years of constant use. Searching Amazon for "mini-choppers" I saw this one listed first and went on to read the reviews of current owners. I ordered two, one for myself, and one for a future wedding shower gift, soley on the rave reviews--and also the item's size. I have only used it once so far, and it really is an awesome little processor. You can really feel it has great power. I like that it's actually twice the size of my former Braun food chopper. However, like most food processors, you don't want to overload them as the blades only come up about an inch and a half. If you keep it at 1/3 level just above the blades, the results are fabulous. (I'll never understand why they simply don't put a few more blades further up the post!) Anyway, it has a new fan; I highly recommend it!
