The Cuisinart ECH‑4GM is a compact 4-cup chopper/grinder from the Elemental series. It features a patented auto‑reversing SmartPower® blade — the sharp edge handles delicate chopping or puréeing, while the blunt side powers through tough ingredients like spices or hard foods. The BladeLock™ system secures the blade in place for safe processing and easy pouring. Controls are simple with chop or grind touchpads, and all removable parts (bowl, lid, blade) are dishwasher safe.
