Product Description
The Norpro 2 Speed Salsa Maker and Food Processor provides anda new twist on a perennial favorite. Even though it is hand operated, it does provide true two speed operation. The second speed increases chopping torque dramatically, while the first speed is great for whipping. Includes instructions and a recipe booklet.

Amazon.com Review
This mini food processor has the double title of "salsa maker" for good reason: the tradeoff for its tasty purchase price is a bit of extra time chopping and dicing--best for small batches of sauce or salsas. Foods should be chopped no larger than 1 inch before you put them in the little processor, just over 2-1/2 inches high--and be careful not to overload. That said, the blades mounted on the cylinder are razor-sharp, and the blending attachment does a decent job of whipping and mixing. --Tony Mason

1 out of 5 stars Disgusted! Worse purchase ever online!!!   July 3, 2008
L. Hale
I am disgusted. I thought it was wierd when I took it out of the box that there wasn't any plactic around the box. Then when I opened it up I noticed that none of the parts were wrapped in plastic either. Then as I began to pull it out I noticed that there was dried up food on the blades. Absolutly horrible!

Save yourself a few dollars and chop up the ingredients yourself. Two speeds? Where? It turned my tomatoes (which I had cut into quarters as recommended) into mush without managing to chop a thing.

I previously had one of these and wanted to replace it. This one is similar, except that it is slightly smaller and flat-out does not chop vegetables very well. The fact that it has two speeds makes no difference in that there's no apparent difference between them -- they're both too slow. I now have to go back to looking for the original salsa maker -- which I liked very much. This one is not it.

I gave these as gifts and they were really liked by all. They are easy to use and very easy to clean afterwards.

I was looking for a salsa maker without it being too large or having too many gadgets to keep up with and clean. This comes with 2 attachments and I used the chopper one only. I was under the misconception that you could add pieces of ingredients from the top. The only thing you can add from the top is a liquid. However, it was easy to use, easy to clean up and chopped the jalapenos up without a problem, but you need to put the ingredients in already cut up into small chunks.
