Hamilton Beach ShortCut review highlights

In owner-written reviews, we found complaints that the Hamilton Beach ShortCut chopper spits food onto the countertop, fails to chop food into uniform pieces, and clogs easily. Owners posting to Amazon.com say this mini food processor does not hold up well in the long run. Although it costs more, reviews say that the KitchenAid Chef's Chopper KFC3100 (*est. $40) offers better value.

The Hamilton Beach ShortCut Micro Food Processor hasn't been professionally reviewed, but a handful of owners have posted reviews to Amazon.com and Epinions. Most owners say it's not a good value. We wish we'd seen this chopper reviewed at Consumer Reports or Cook's Illustrated, but we did find enough owner reviews to determine its relative value among other small choppers.
