This review is from: Krups GVA242 24-Ounce Mini Chopper Speedy Pro Plus (Kitchen)
I got the Krups Mini Chopper Speed Pro Plus to replace a Delonghi product; I loved my Delonghi because of the size and ease of use. It did require two hands because it was glass and it came with a rubber mat but it was still a challenge to keep it stationary during use. Then my Delongi blades got dull. I was able to sharpen them then one broke and when I tried to replace the blades I found out they did not make my model or its replacement parts anymore. So I had to find a new chopper.
After looking at several models comparing their features I wanted a chopper that is small for easy storage, easy to operate with one hand and can whip heavy cream. This was exactly what I was looking for a whipping disk for heavy cream was included (I expected to pay extra) and it is powerful enough to make mayonnaise. It chops like a dream and I can operate it with one hand; which is handy if my toddler tries to grab something off the counter while I am working.
It is easier to...Read more

At last, a mini-chopper that chops!,

The Krups GVA242 24-Ounce Mini Chopper is a wonder. After the frustration of dealing with one or more Cuisanart small capacity choppers, it is a distinct pleasure to use the Krups which chops evenly and quickly thanks to a powerful motor and well-designed blade configuration. I wish the bowl had a smooth contour rather than ridged design used here as it would make emptying the bowl much easier. However, that is a small inconvenience in respect to the superb job this chopper does. Anyone fed up with the uneven clumps provided by the Cuisanart mini choppers should give this Krups chopper a try.

The Krups (Chinese Manufacture) is an elegant solution for a small, strong food processor. I got it to replace a Cuisinart which had imploded a month or so ago.
This small machine is delightful to use and easy to clean. The forcing ribs on the inside of the cup can be a bit tedious to clean with the supplied spatula. I happened to have a narrow spatula which is much for flexible ... problem solved. The same ribs, are an internal structural element, created to strengthen the plastic or acrylic walls of the container - they're not just cosmetic but add a lot to the structural integrity.
So far, I've used to make a few different pesto recipes, several fruit and yogurt smoothies and a few vegetable puree's. Success at all levels!
Conclusion - easy to use, easy to clean, tiny footprint for my small kitchen counters. Potential Con ... The well designed top gasket 'may' need to be replaced in a few years. I've had other mixers that had similar sealing methods...Read more
