The Progress EK5879PVDE food chopper is an electric multi-speed appliance for quick chopping, mincing and pureeing of vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts and cooked ingredients. It features a one-touch operation, stainless-steel blade and a 500 ml transparent bowl that lets you monitor texture while processing. The compact design makes it suitable for smaller kitchens and easy to store after use.
Advantages
This food chopper offers simple, one-touch control with multiple speed settings to adapt to different ingredients. The stainless-steel blade provides consistent cutting performance and the transparent bowl allows visual control of the chopping process. Its compact footprint and removable parts make it practical for everyday meal preparation and straightforward cleaning.
Suitable for
- Chopping vegetables for soups, salads and sautés
- Mincing herbs and nuts
- Processing cooked ingredients for spreads, dips and baby food
- Small-portion food prep in apartments or kitchens with limited counter space
When it may not be suitable
This chopper has a relatively small 500 ml bowl, so it may not be the best choice for large batches or frequent processing of large quantities. It is intended for chopping and mincing rather than heavy-duty tasks such as kneading dough or processing very hard items for extended periods.

How to use

What to consider before purchase

- Kitchen storage space and footprint of a compact appliance

Usage recommendations
For best results, cut larger items into smaller pieces before adding them to the bowl, use short pulses for coarse textures and longer runs for finer purées, and avoid overfilling the bowl to ensure even processing and longer motor life.
