Is the Proctor Silex Food Chopper worth it?

For small jobs like onions, garlic and herbs, yes. At $22.95 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it costs little and has a 3-year limited warranty. It is not a substitute for a full-size food processor.

How much food does the 1.5-cup bowl hold?

About 1.5 cups, enough for one onion or a handful of garlic or herbs. Larger batches need to be chopped in several pulses.

Can it chop nuts or hard vegetables?

It can handle soft nuts and vegetables in short pulses. The 70 W motor struggles with hard items like raw carrots or large nut batches.

Does it have more than one speed?

No. It has a single push-button pulse control and no variable speed setting. You control texture by how long you hold the button.

What comes in the box?

The chopper base, a 1.5-cup bowl, a stainless steel chopping blade and a lid. No extra blades or storage containers are included.

The best new price seen is $22.95 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new. Small kitchen appliances often dip during holiday sales, so watch for drops below that.
