Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper
About this product
The Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper is a compact one-touch chopper for small kitchen tasks. It suits people who cook for one or two, anyone who wants a small electric food chopper for herbs and garlic, and cooks who need a second tool beside a larger processor.
How much does the Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper cost?
When we last checked in October 2026, the Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper was typically selling for about $10 – $20 in the US. That is an approximate range, not a quote: the retailer changes prices often, and colour, size or storage options can move it up or down.

Key features
- 1.5-cup bowl: sized for small jobs such as a handful of herbs, a few cloves of garlic, breadcrumbs or chopped chocolate.
- 150-watt motor: enough power for chopping and mincing soft and medium-firm foods in short bursts.
- One-touch pulse control: press to chop and release to stop, so the texture is decided by how many pulses you give it.
- Bi-level stainless steel blades: blades set at two heights reach food at the top and bottom of the bowl for a more even chop.
- Oil holes in the lid: oil can be poured in while the chopper runs, which helps when making hummus or vinaigrette.
- Dishwasher-safe removable parts: the parts that touch food can go in the dishwasher.
What we like
- Very small footprint that fits in a drawer or on a crowded shelf.
- Simple pulse operation with no settings to learn.
- Oil holes make small batches of dressing easy.
- Easy cleanup for a tool that is used for quick jobs.
What to consider
- A 1.5-cup bowl fills fast. One medium onion is about the limit per load.
- A 150-watt motor is modest; hard foods such as whole nuts or raw carrot need small pieces and patience.
- It chops and minces but does not slice, shred or dice evenly.
- It runs from a wall socket, so it needs to sit near an outlet.
Who should buy it
The Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper suits students, couples and occasional cooks who want to skip hand-mincing garlic, onions and herbs. It also works as a small companion to a full-size processor when the job is too small to justify the big bowl.
Skip the Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper if you prepare family-size batches, want to grind hard ingredients regularly, or need purees for more than one or two servings. A 3-cup or larger chopper with a stronger motor is the better choice.
How it compares
Mini choppers are the entry tier of food preparation appliances. The Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper belongs to the smallest and most affordable group, with a bowl under two cups and a low-wattage motor. The next step up is a 3 to 4-cup chopper with roughly double the power, which handles nuts and denser vegetables more easily. Full-size food processors sit above that with slicing and shredding discs. Manual pull-cord choppers are a non-electric alternative of similar capacity.
What to check before you buy
- Voltage and plug type for your country.
- That a 1.5-cup capacity matches the amounts you chop.
- Box contents; the brand lists a base, bowl and lid with the chopping assembly.
- Cord length and where it will be stored.
- Warranty for the Black+Decker 1.5-Cup Electric Food Chopper, and the retailer’s return policy.
