Target Essentials Chief Mini

Incredibly useful and easy to use – This was a great little unit that I originally bought as a gift for someone else, and thought it looked so useful that I wanted one myself. It doesn't have great capacity, but it's still perfect for small jobs like chopping biscuits for desserts or making delicacies such as rum balls or ginger balls. It's compact, light, the parts fit together,… Read more

and it puts no pressure on my arthritis-ridden joints. Although discontinued, I've seen these units for sale on sites such as EBay, and would absolutely recommend buying them while they're still available.

Excellent Value for money – Just got one of these from Target for just $15. Wow I'm really impressed With it's performance. Keep in mind, it's not a huge food processor, so it's no good for hard veges or ice or hard nuts. It's designed for small and softer jobs and it does that just fine. I got it to puree chik-peas for my hummus - after putting in the chickpeas, I add… Read more

most of the liquid (water with dissolved salt and lemon) and it really does a good job. If you feel the unit start to struggle, just add a little more water and it will do the rest. After I get my perfect blend, I then mix in the tahini. YUM. I go through about 10 cans of chickpeas a week and this unit copes well.

I had previously been using a stick blender which was taking ages and would leave some lumps. However the mini blender does a far better job in around half the time. Top marks target on an excellent budget priced product

Wish these were back in stock! – I have rheumatoid arthritis which makes chopping and mixing painful, so this compact, light, easy to use mini food processor is perfect! It performs beautifully, takes up little cupboard space and is easy to clean. These are very good value for money. I really wish I could buy another one!

You get what you pay for – This is a very cheap chopper. Does the job ok. I mainly use it to chop onion and garlic. Often there's an onion layer or two that's doesn't get chopped. My main gripe is the lid and bowl. It's a pain to get it to lock in place and remove. Does an ok job. Easy to clean. Cheap. The bowl and lid is a pain to lock. Chops unevenly. Loud.

Ear muffs required. Excessively loud – Great for small jobs. Chopping onions or herbs. Compact in size. Will only fit one onion. Easy to clean and only three parts to wash .Lightweight and portable and takes up no room at all. Looking at purchasing the Cuisinart mini food processor and tossing this one in the bin. Compact size. Easy to clean. So noisy in fact, hubby thought I was using a grinder!

Cute & powerful – I got this from Target for just $8! I can't simply believe the performance for the price. My husband thought its for $20+. It blended my 2 tomatoes & green chillies in just few seconds. I had just very roughly chopped them. It's great for everyday small quantities. I wouldn't put nuts in it. Maybe just for making puréed tomatoes ... Lil dips & chutneys. It did a fine job. There were absolutely no lumps at all! Inexpensive
