Sanford Mini Slicer 400ml with Sharp Stainless Steel Blades - SF5591KT

The appliance you use daily is rarely the big one. At 400ml, the Sanford SF5591KT Mini Slicer is sized for the jobs that come up every single time you cook — garlic, ginger, chillies, onions, coriander, a handful of nuts — and because it is small enough to leave on the worktop, it actually gets reached for instead of staying in a cupboard. Its sharp stainless-steel blades chop cleanly rather than bruising, which matters with herbs and onions where a blunt blade turns them watery. It fits easily into a drawer or a crowded cupboard, and rinses out in seconds. Buy it for the small daily work it does properly; for family-sized quantities or mincing meat, a 2-litre chopper is the right tool.

Specifications

Buying guide

Small choppers succeed or fail on immediacy — if getting it out, using it and washing it takes longer than reaching for a knife, it will not get used. That is why the 400ml format is worth having even if you already own something bigger: it handles the two-cloves-of-garlic job that a large processor makes absurd. Be clear on its limits: this is not for family quantities of onions, not for meat, and not for anything you would call a batch. Use short pulses rather than holding it on, since continuous running turns onions to liquid and over-processes herbs. Cut larger items down before adding them, and never fill past the line. Rinse it immediately, because garlic and onion residue is far harder to shift once dry, and keep the blade away from children — small does not mean blunt.

How it compares

Against the 2-litre SF5588FC food chopper, that handles family quantities and meat while this is for small daily jobs and takes up almost no space. Compared with the 450ml rechargeable chopper, that adds cordless USB-C operation. Against a knife and board, this is faster and more even for garlic, ginger and herbs. Against a full blender, this chops in pulses rather than puréeing.

Frequently asked questions

What is it actually good for?
Garlic, ginger, chillies, small onions, herbs and nuts — the small jobs that come up every time you cook. It is not for family quantities or mincing meat.

Why do my onions turn watery?
Holding the button down rather than pulsing. Short pulses give you control over texture; continuous running breaks onions down too far.

How does it compare with the bigger chopper?
The 2-litre SF5588FC has two-layer blades and 300W for family quantities and meat. This one wins on being small enough to leave out and use daily.
