general description
What does the device consist of?
The household appliance has a fairly simple structure. It consists of:
- The base in which the motor mechanism is located for bringing the attachments into operating mode using a spindle;
- Containers for storing products that need to be chopped;
- Nozzle holder located inside the container;
- Covers to prevent food from being thrown out at high speed;
- Electric drive (in electric models);
- Nozzles located inside the container, the type of which determines the shape of the slicing and knives;
- On/off controls;
- Speed regulators.
Operating principle
The necessary products are placed in a bowl and covered with a lid. Using a regulator or button, the mechanism is activated, crushing or pureeing the product. Then they are removed from the container.
The longer the device is turned on, the smaller the pieces.
Sometimes they may not turn out uniform.
Recommendation:
Before placing large products for chopping (vegetables, fruits, etc.), they should be cut into smaller pieces. Thus, the operating life of the device will increase.
Types of devices
Based on their mode of operation, all shredders can be divided into 2 types:
- Mechanical:
Involving the use of manual labor by the user in the form of pressing the component parts, unscrewing a special handle, twisting the lid, etc.
These types are more reliable. They are budget-friendly, not energy-intensive, with a minimum of spare parts. Convenient for use on hikes, trips, and travel.
- Electrical:
The most popular for food processing because of their versatility and the ability to cut a large number of ingredients, but they are much more expensive and energy-consuming, since they are powered by electricity.
They are more dangerous to use and require compliance with safety rules.
Based on the type of attachments and the resulting product, all grinders can be divided into several types:
- Meat grinder:
Practically not much different from an electric meat grinder.
The process of preparing minced meat occurs using perforation grids, various knives and attachments included in the package.
- Multi-cutter:
Cuts, chops and shreds the necessary ingredients.
Differs in a variety of attachments and knives. This is similar to a mini food processor.
- Chopper:
A device for cutting, mixing, grinding using special knives, equipped with a container. With one nozzle - a chopper, with many - a multi-chopper.
Can replace a blender and mixer.
- Slicer:
Or a slicer - for chopping food into slices. It consists of a holder for products, a tray for placing and cutting them, a circular knife and a motor that drives it. Bread, sausage, cheese and other foods can be cut into very thin slices. The device is also suitable for citrus fruits.
- Melnichka:
Usually small volumes, with knives and a high lid to protect products from flying around. It can be used to grind food in small volumes: nuts, coffee beans, garlic.
- Grater:
Consists of a metal plane with holes pointed towards the top. Used for grating vegetables, fruits and other products. The size and shape of the holes can vary, as can the size of the grated products, respectively.

I replaced a chopper and a grater, and knives, and a meat grinder, and even a blender. I do everything for them. I didn’t expect such functionality from the device, to be honest. And how much time is saved on preparing dishes is simply a miracle. I'm very pleased that it is quiet. I have no problem using it in the morning when I'm making pancake batter and everyone is still sleeping. Great purchase at a reasonable price!

The device is from a Belarusian manufacturer. Convenient to use. Suitable for chopping food and whipping cocktails. It is not suitable for processing solid products, because... The power of the device is only 130 W. Also among the disadvantages is the rapid heating of the chopper from prolonged use. There are no bowls provided - the device can grind in any container.

The chopper is not bad, but you have to turn it off every 5 minutes to cool down. Not convenient. There is no bowl, but on the contrary, I even like it; I can process food in any container, including large ones. For this functionality, in my opinion, it is a bit expensive.

Many people think that the price of the shredder is very high.

Of course, I haven’t even tried to process solid products - I’m afraid it will break. Well, at least the bowl is big.

Specifications
Power
The power of the electrical appliance determines the possibility of its long-term operation and the ability to cope with harder ingredients (ice, nuts, chocolate, coffee beans, etc.). That is, productivity.
The minimum power of electric cutting machines is 60 W, the maximum is 750 W.
The best option is to choose an electric shredder with a power of 200-300 W. To grind harder products, you should choose the option from 600 W.
To prepare a puree-like dish, you do not need a lot of power from the device, since the products used are in a soft state after they are cooked. What you should pay attention to:
The higher the power, the higher will be not only the performance of the device, but also its energy consumption.
Grinding speed
The rotation of the knives can be done at different speeds, depending on the type of device chosen. The speed of the cutting knives is adjusted using the speed regulator located on the body of the device. The size of the grinding depends on the selected number of revolutions per minute.
The higher the speed, the finer the resulting ingredients.
For simple mixing, low speed is fine. The higher the set speed in the selected model, the harder the products can be crushed with its help.
Operating modes
Grinding models may have several modes or one of the following:
- Pulse is an interval type of work. It speeds up normal mode. Suitable for crushing hard products such as ice or making quick purees;
- Turbo – suitable for maximum speed cooking. Needs breaks from work;
- Smooth switching - implies a gradual change in the speed of grinding the product to the optimal one.
The operating mode is selected using a regulator located on the body or cover.
Bowl volume
The size of the container is directly related to the power parameters of the device.
The larger the volume of the container, the better power the electrical appliance should have.
The minimum proposed volume of household options can be 0.150 liters, and the maximum - 2.0 liters. The choice of bowl depends on the volume of products being processed.
The extra hole in the lid is useful for adding food without stopping the process. What you should pay attention to:
There are minimum and maximum levels of loading the bowl with products, which are specified in the instructions.
Usually this:
- Minimum – to the level of the lower nozzles;
- Maximum – 2/3 of the total volume of the bowl.
Nozzles
The final appearance of the product depends on the type of nozzle:
- In the form of minced meat;
- Puree;
- Shredded;
- Large slices;
- Small, etc.
Different models may have different numbers of attachments.
Material of manufacture
Food grade materials are used to manufacture the choppers. They are made from:
- Thick glass - bowls made of this eco-friendly material are very convenient for visual observation of the process;
- Plastic - the higher the quality of this lightweight material, easy to care for, the longer the model will last;
- Stainless steel - a durable material suitable for the manufacture of various attachments and knives of the device;
- Silicone – mats-stands and legs made of this material prevent the device from slipping and increase its stability, increasing the safety of use.
overheat protection
Some types of models are equipped with an overheat protection function. They grind products in pulse mode with alternate stops in operation.
After a certain operating time has elapsed (for example, 1 minute), the device switches itself off to cool down.
This protects it from overheating and the mechanism from combustion.

Differences between a chopper and a blender

Thus, the machine, called a chopper, has some similar characteristics to an immersion blender, but there are also differences. Let's look at them in the table below.
Similarities | Difference |
Grinding of products occurs with varying degrees of homogeneity. | A blender gets the job done faster and more efficiently than a chopper. |
Both devices have a bowl with knives for food components. | The volume of processed products in a blender is larger than in a miniature chopper. |
Electrical devices are multi-tasking and functions are often interchangeable. | The chopping device comes with more attachments than a regular blender. |
The units are equipped with sharp knives installed inside the bowl | The chopper has more types of sharp drum blades than a regular blender. The height of their location also matters, which cannot be controlled in another device. |
