If you’re spending more time in the kitchen lately, a food processor can seriously level up your meal prep. When I started cooking more in my 20s and 30s, chopping onions used to make me tear up—literally. But tossing them into a mini processor instead? No more tears.
If you want a way to speed up your efficiency and overall experience in the kitchen, Amazon has a great deal on the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper (model KFC3516): now $55 (was $70), which is a 21% discount.
It’s a compact, lightweight version of the classic KitchenAid processor—ideal if you’re short on counter space or cooking for one or two. Unlike the bulky unit my mom used to have for decades, this mini version weighs just 2.7 pounds but still packs plenty of power.
It features both chop and pulse modes, so you can mince veggies or whip up smooth dips like hummus and guacamole with ease. The stainless steel blade handles just about anything you throw at it, and cleanup is simple: Just rinse the bowl and toss it in the dishwasher.
Another bonus? It comes in nine colors, so you can match it to your kitchen aesthetic, whether that’s empire red, matte black or something a little bolder, like velvet blue.
It’s also well-loved by shoppers, with a 4.7-star rating from over 27,000 reviews. Fans wrote, “This food chopper makes meal prep so much easier!” and “easy to use and cleanup is a breeze.” Another shopper wrote, “This little chopper is a kitchen must-have! It’s the perfect size for small batches—great for chopping veggies, nuts or making sauces and dressings.”
This deal won’t last forever, so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your kitchen tools, now’s a great time to grab this KitchenAid food processor.
