If you only need to do small amounts of chopping or puréeing, a mini chopper might suit you better than a food processor. They are smaller and less expensive versions of food processors and take up much less space. However, they are usually limited in what they can do.
We rigorously tested popular mini choppers and mini food processors from Cuisinart, Kenwood, KitchenAid, Magimix and Russell Hobbs to see which ones make the perfect food prep gadget.
Our results showed that price is no indicator of quality when it comes to mini choppers – one of our Best Buys costs less than £20.
See our full test results below to discover the best mini chopper for your kitchen.
If you are still not certain about what type of food prep gadget to buy, head to our guide: Food processor, mixer or blender?
