Nice, until it breaks

The Oster top chop 4 cup food processor is a handy little machine that helps cut down on food preparation time, until it breaks.
Pros: Good size for one or two people Easy to use Very fast chopping/mixing Nice "whirlpool" action brings ingredients from top to bottom Easy to keep on the counter or in the cupboard Durable plastic
Cons: Gets a bit messy, especially when you keep having to take the top off to check your food It's very hard to clean the part of the motor component that meets the spindle, especially if you have sticky or liquid food I wish there were different blade options. My chopper died during its third use. Making hummus, with a lot of mixing, the motor component got warm/hot (not too hot to touch, no burning smell) so I let it rest for about 1/2 hour. When I came back to finish, it wouldn't turn on again.
Conclusion: I liked it well enough and will miss it for its handiness. I was disappointed it broke, both because I liked using it and because I don't think it held up very well. I don't think the quality is very high, but the price is comparably low. I will say, I finished the hummus in my Magic Bullet pitcher and it didn't perform as well, and was less easy to maneuver/use - I liked the Oster better. I would recommend this to others with the caveat to be cautious about overheating (if that was indeed my problem) and to not have sky high expectations. It's a fairly good little machine for the price, especially if you want to test out whether you'll actually use a food processor.
I was gifted this item to test and review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

"I really don't see the point of this product. If you want a blender, buy one. If you want a food processor, buy a real one. If you want a personal blender, buy a real one. This feels like a quickly-designed, cheap competitor to certain other touch-to-blend products. It's not bad, it's just not that good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

low cost option ~ but could be better

Overall this is a good and affordable alternative to a food processor. Some of the pros include; does not take up much counter space, ease of use, easy disassembly and easy cleaning. Cons; motor is on top, motor cannot be run long or it will overheat or burn out, if you have to run it for a little while (more than quick pulses) you need to hold down the button. Unfortunately, our motor overheated with the second use. *Disclaimer: this product was given as a free sample to test.

I love love love this little food processor. Its larger size is perfect for salsa, sauce, et cetara. And it is super easy to both get the food out of the bowl as well as to clean it. It just needs a drop in batter beater to be the ultimate kitchen helper.

I make Tahinni, Hummus, and lately, I have been doing all my smoothies in there too because it is so easy! Easy to use, easy to clean, and GREAT price! I made Black Bean Brownies with it and it chopped/pasted the beans and oatmeal to almost as fine as flour. My husband had no idea the brownies weren't made with flower. We also use it for all our Cauliflower chop/paste for bread sticks and Pizza dough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great simple chopper!

This is a cute, easy to use chopper. It has a large 4-cup capacity. With just a push of the top button you have instant control. I'm really impressed and am considering giving my more expensive food chopper away and just using this one. Extremely easy to clean. Great affordable price. (I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great food processor! Works wonderfully. Easy to operate. Has a small footprint so it will not take up much room. I love this product and find myself using it more often than I thought I would.
