The Cuisinart® Elite Collection™ 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder takes the work out of dicing and chopping. It features a simple touchpad control panel and auto-reversing SmartPower® blade that provides sharp edges for chopping, as well as blunt edges for grinding. The BladeLock™ system keeps your blade securely in place for safety, while the removable parts are dishwasher safe, including the stainless steel blades.
