InstaCuppa Mini Electric Chopper for Kitchen, 50% Longer Use 1800 mAh Battery Onion Cutter, USB-C Garlic Mincer for 50% Faster Charging, 45 W Fast Vegetables Chopping for Busy Moms, 250 ML

I was looking for a small, easy to use chopper. Instacuppa's offering caught my attention for multiple reasons - it looked good; it is rechargeable which means I do not need to have a power point while running it, giving me the freedom to use it almost anywhere; and its price. I have been using it for two months now, and it has well exceeded expectations. One needs to remember that it is NOT a blender but a chopper, and thus it can not make truly smooth pastes out of chopped vegetables (for example, tomato can not be pureed). This means that it can not be used to make pastes out of spices (which is a shame). I tried to use it on poppy seeds, and it did not work at all. I wish it could, but one can not have everything. I have used it to chop tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and also to make mango shake and buttermilk. In all cases, it gave perfectly satisfactory results. It is easy to charge the unit from a standard USB charger. This will need an older USB cord, but that it perfectly alright for me. The battery seems to be very good; my first charge is still holding after multiple uses over these two months. Cleaning the unit is a breeze. Just make sure you take the blade out first and clean that carefully. The motor should be cleaned only by a damp soft cloth -- pretty standard precaution for any electrical unit. Instacuppa sends you a cleaning brush if you register. It is essentially a sponge on a stick, and I did not find it very useful. Standard dish-washing soap cleans it much better. Overall, a great tool.

Good product

I mainly use this to make salsa style fine chopped salads, quick chopping for vegetable preparations, and chopping for garnishing and such (coriander, mint leaves etc). It's really useful for these purposes, very convenient, and easy to store. One charge also lasts quite long and I don't need to frequently recharge it. I don't have much to complain about, save for only two minor gripes. One, it comes with a micro USB charger (older than the type-C ones we use these days), not that much of a dealbreaker to me but since everything is type-C these days, I would've preferred that. Right now, it only adds one extra wire for me to keep in home. Second, the plastic does not instill confidence in me, I think we have to be somewhat careful when storing or washing it otherwise it may crack or break. While chopping though, it handles materials really well and it doesn't seem it would break. Is it better than the manual choppers that are popular and everywhere these days? I mean, yeah, it does feel like a novelty product. It is convenient and chops finer and quicker than the manual ones, but the time saved and chopping quality is only slightly better. If you don't want to spend around ~1k (what I paid at the time of purchase), you can go for the manual ones. Buy this for a bit faster and finer chopping. The seller is also nice and gave a cute, small spoon and cleaning brush as giveaway (my review is most definitely not influenced by that lol).

Great product, doa great job in slicing onion, garlic, ginger which are our routine work effortlessly. This is my 2nd purchase. Ordered one for my mother 1 year before. Now i ordered one for myself.

Dont buy this. I had this for over a month. And it got damaged. Not chargung now. Waste of money.
