Open Thread: Ambiano Mini Food Chopper

This post is an open thread and contains affiliate links.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We purchased this mini food chopper once it arrived in stores, and you can read our full review of it here. 

I find chopping fruits and vegetables by hand to be a minor annoyance. Most of them are round, so there is an art to holding them in place while I get them cut open on the cutting board. Plus, as I slice off more of the vegetable and the pieces get smaller, I am always aware of the fact that I have to be careful with the knife as I cut.

A food chopper isn’t a perfect solution, but it does take away some of the annoyances of dicing that I deal with when I try to do the work strictly with a knife. Food choppers are easy enough to find online and in big box stores, but Aldi also occasionally sells them.

What We Know:

The Ambiano Mini Food Chopper (Product Code: 705795) is an Aldi Find, which means it’s only in stores for a short time. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, and it won’t be back in stores again for a while.

At the time of this post, the food chopper costs $19.99, which is similar in price to other electric choppers I can find online.

The chopper comes with a 3-year warranty serviced by Wachsmuth & Krogmann, a common Aldi warranty service provider.

Aldi doesn’t have a lot else to say about the chopper, but here are the listed features:

• Chop, dice, mince and shred easily and effortlessly
• 1.5-cup capacity
• One-touch activation
• Comes in blue or black

What We Don’t Know:

We haven’t tried out this particular food chopper, so we don’t know how it performs, how easily it cleans up, or how durable it is. We’ve created this open thread for users to share their experiences.
