Syvio Mini Electric Food Chopper 450W, 2 Speed

Stop- THIS is the one you want!!!!
Ok … I purchased this on August 3, 2022. I waited until now bc I wanted to give an honest review and I was skeptical if this gadget would hold up. Well it did and SURPASSED my expectations!!!!I originally bought this to make my furbaby his own food, but it’s come in handy for cooking for my human family too 😋!This baby is powerful!!! I’m talking shredding sweet potatoes in mere seconds!!!! Anyone who cooks knows how dense sweet potatoes are! This thing cuts em like no bodies business!! I also ground flax seeds, nuts, carrots, celery, well any veggies or fruits, no problem!! But wait there’s more… it’s amazing for shredded meat too!! Yes, that’s right, no more tearing up pieces of meatfor chicken salad. Just rip large pieces of chicken in the bowl use the lower setting and in under 5 secs you have perfectly shredded chicken! Oh, but you like larger pieces???? No problem!! You can control the blades and just pulse them until you’ve got your desired size. Isn’t that awesome??I’m not even to my most favorite part!!! I hate dishes. Seriously *HATE*!!! This gadget literally takes me MINUTES to clean!!! Once I’m done. It only takes spraying the residue of the bowl with my sprayer, then a spray of Dawn powerspray (not sponsored but hey Dawn email me😉 ), a wipe around with your washcloth/ sponge/what-have-you, a final rinse and Bam, you’re done baby!! Even if you towel dry, its clean dry and put away in under 5 minutes!!!Seriously, if I could only give one product 5 stars, it would be this! The blades are still sharp after being used multiple times a week since last August, there’s 2 sizes of bowls, one glass, one stainless, two sets of blades that coralate to bowl size (oh and they twist on/ off for easy cleaning- “yeah baby”-Austin Power accent used), and this thing is so powerful!!There are two settings (I and II). Use I for softer items and use II for harder/ denser items like sweet potatoes, nuts, or bones. NOTHING I’ve cut has taken more than 30 seconds and even then almost all of it doesn’t even come close to that. It’s quick, easy, efficient, and a sinch to clean!!What are you waiting for… buy now!!!But wait for the next 30 mins…. wait, no, I’m getting carried away I can’t offer any deals, but it’s already priced cheap for how well it’s made and performs… just click the buy now. You won’t be sorry- and if you are- hey its Amazon just take it to Kohls and return it for a free 25% off most stuff in their store!! Win/Win Baby!!!*I was not paid for this-obvi, I waited 8 months b4 i even reviewed it… if it sounds like I did that’s just me being… well me. I have pix but for sum reason Amazon isn’t letting me post them… I’ll try later…maybe 😄 )

Awesome gadget
This is one of the best kitchen gadget purchases , everI use this several times a month and it sure save money and time. I highly recommend.

A Dog’s Tale
My husband and I have a soft spot for hounds, especially older dogs and we always adopt rescues. We know we don’t get to keep them as long as we would if we got a puppy, but we just feel our work is to give these older often overlooked dogs a comfortable final chapter, filled with lots of love. I have made dog food for our dogs for the past several years, although I supplement with Dr. Gary’s Best Breed dry dog food because there are some trace ingredients that I cannot source economically. Dr. Gary’s was recommended to me by a woman who shows coonhounds in working classes and is as picky as I am about her dog’s diet. Four years ago we rescued a seven year old black and tan coonhound who was abandoned by a breeder when she was no longer of use. Her name is Juniper; she is a sweet little girl who was afraid of everything and is now living a happy life as a family pet, playing and treeing squirrels in our backyard and coming inside for naps and pats whenever she wants. She has an 8 year old “brother”, a red tick coonhound/pit mix we rescued two years ago. Juniper was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and my vet prescribed Hill’s kidney diet in the can. I am feeding half Hill’s and half my own food (my choice and he was fine with it). I always make a lean beef or chicken based food, however, chicken is a better choice for Juniper due to the lower fat content. One of the problems for dogs with renal disease is that digesting dry food can put a strain on their kidneys. So, I decided to grind my chicken based food with some dry kibble, adding chicken broth for moisture. I have a food processor that would do the job but it’s a pain to clean. I also have a Vitamix that would certainly do the job but I could also easily wind up with dog food paste. So, I started looking for a food grinder and came across the Syvio. I read all the reviews and decided to give it a try. For the price, even if it was a dud, it wouldn’t break the bank. I LOVE this machine. It was very easy to assemble and it ground up my cooked chicken, vegetables and kibble quickly and QUIETLY (compared to a food processor or blender). For those reviewers that said it could not chop meat, check out my picture. It had no problem chopping chicken breasts that I just broke up into chunks to fit in the bowl. (I normally would feed the food in chunks.) It also ground the veggies into tiny pieces and incorporated them so that my red tick will not be able to avoid the green beans. I wound up with food the consistency of deli ham salad, which is perfect…and in less than a minute. I will probably use this instead of my food processor from now on for pimento cheese or other party spreads (and ham salad). The blades are very sharp so make sure you retain the blade guards and put them back on the blades when not using the grinder. I could not be happier with this little grinder.

Good
