Braun CH3012BK EasyPrep™ Mini Food Processor, 4 cup, Black

Having been through a few different mini food processor this one is definitely worth buying. I love it. It’s so easy to quickly chop things with the top coming on and off with ease. I had the another brand and gave it away. I will tell anyone that is the market for one to get this one.

I’ve had frustrating experiences with mini processors over the years. They never worked as well as promised. But this one is terrific. Outdoes them all. I love the top motor which is more effective and efficient than the usual bottom motor style. The parts connect easily with little fussing. The double blade works better. Less need to push food down. And since the bottom is solid, no hole for the motor, it is easy to remove the blade, scrape out any processed food on the sides without anything dripping out. Makes it easier to clean, as well. I use it often for grating hard cheese and it does an excellent job.

This looks like a wonderful appliance, but the first one I received rattled ominously right out of the box, and it never worked when I plugged it in. Amazon was wonderful about letting us return it. and they promptly sent a replacement, but the replacement also never worked, even after we followed clear customer-service online chat instructions. Kudos to Amazon for excellent support, but I cannot recommend this item based on my experience. Maybe they both were damaged in shipping?? But the packaging seems up to standard!

Love it, well made. What I really like is that the motor is in the top section, which must be removed to get at the food contents. No chance of electrical surges causing some finger damage. I also like that the blades sit on a very small nub verses a tall thin piece of steel. What I wish it had was a handle on the bottom section. It's a little bit akward to hold. Works well, made well, and my best buy of the year.

After years of struggling with a name-brand mini-prep food processor and much research, I purchased the Braun CH3012BK EasyPrep™ Mini Food Processor. With arthritic hands, doing manual fine chopping has become more painful Thus far, the results are exceptional for chopping onion, celery, and garbanzo beans to use in a tuna salad (see photos). The 4 blades versus 2 makes a huge difference for me! It is quieter than my 30+ year old one, much easier to clean, and takes up the same amount of storage space. I'm looking forward to testing it to make a goat cheese vinaigrette dressing that I usually mix with my immersion blender if there's sufficient capacity. As other reviewers have stated, it is NOT a 4-cup capacity and there is a knack to getting the lid on and off. In addition, when I started to register the product online for the 3-year warranty, the web page stated that it was mandatory for me to agree to allow Braun to store cookies and my personal information on my laptop, I declined. If it dies before 3 years of use, there will likely be even better technology that I can purchase. I still have my 30+ year old Braun coffee grinder which has been relegated to grinding herbs and eggshells but it still works fine. Happy Chopping!

love love this little baby. chops up everything well , just wish it were bigger

This chopper replaced a Cuisinart mini prep that finally cracked up. The Braun is a far superior product. The bowl is a heavier plastic, polycarbonate I think, and the whole thing feels more solid. The motor is a bit quieter and has plenty of power. I use it mainly to emulsify vinaigrettes and it does so beautifully, without leaking onto the motor. It’s easy to clean and looks cool. One thing to note is that the heavy motor just sits on the bowl without locking in, which is fine while using it but keep a firm grip on the motor when moving it around. Very happy with this purchase, a great value too.

Overall, the Braun EasyPrep is of average quality—a 'jack of all trades, master of none.' It struggles with stability and frequently slips on flat surfaces during use. I’ve also noticed it making a strange noise during operation on several occasions. I won't be purchasing this model again.

Je suis très satisfaite

Use it for nuts and hard products,fruits and vegetables. Didn't work for candied ginger. Easily removable baldes to adjust how fine you want to grind.

this processor is exactly what i was looking for. The size is perfect, i can make a cake or icing or whipped cream with the blending tool or i can chop with the chopping tool, or i can put the chop/shredder wheel on to shred or chop food. We love this its easy to operate and cleans up easily.

Love this tiny helper

Worked well for a year until it stopped….
