Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, 24-Ounce Mini Food Processor to Chop Herbs, Vegetables, and Hard Cheese, 24-Ounce Work Bowl, Reversible Stainless Steel Blade, DLC-2ABC, Brushed Chrome

We always cook for family during the holiday and wanted an easier way prepping everything from garlic (mince) to onions (dice) to parsley and more (Italian meatballs for the win). Many food processors struggle to get consistent chop - but this one works GREAT - very good consistencies and at all sizes. Saved us a lot of time and even small cuts we get every year. (Don’t judge). It is easy to assemble and comes ultra sharp, It’s now living out on our counter and a regular part of our prep.

Really great for small jobs like chopped veggies, salsa, dressings, marinades and dips- easy to use, fast, powerful and easy to clean. Very safe if careful with extra sharp blade when washing. Highly recommend! Great pricing on Black Friday too.

I really like this mini food processor. I have a larger Cuisinart food processor as well, but since I am single I thought this smaller one would be a good choice for me. It is small enough that it minces garlic or ginger well and is a lot easier to use for that than my garlic press or mini-grater for this purpose. I do a lot of ethnic cooking and like to use whole spices like nutmeg, cumin seeds, szechuan peppers, ect., grinding them as I need them. Although I don't believe this food processor was intended for that, I found it does it well. I love the fact that the blade will go both directions, one to chop and the other to grind. I can't tell any real difference in the results by using just one or the other method, but using the processor both ways does an excellent job of evenly processing all the spices. When I use it for tomatoes and onions, it chops from coarse to fine depending on how long I hold the button. It gives pretty good control over being able to control how coarse or fine you want the results to be. Again, I doubt if it was intended for this, but it works well as a blender as well. It works excellent in making dips like hummus by just adding all the ingredients at once. Again, using the blade in both directions helps giving excellent results. The bowl, blade, and top are much easier to clean than my larger processor. I use this processor almost daily and hardly ever use my larger processor any more. I have taken the larger processor off my counter and it has given me more counter space. I really like the Cuisinart brand as it is always (except for a teakettle I purchased) well made and high quality. I have learned to trust the brand and at this price, the Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus Food Processor is an excellent buy.

Perfectly whomps food into little itty bitty pieces. Chicken salad - yup. Parmesan - yup, Nuts - yup!. I also like the cord storage in the base - though manual it is a nice touch. It is pretty much easy to clean, toss in dishwasher and be happy. Some caveats to be aware of: 1) it is small and mighty, but due to the footprint, this can be a bit tippy. 2) Fit and finish - I find the plastic to not be a super perfect fit, my lid is overly tight. 3) If you ever learned righty-tighty-lefty-loosey, this whole thing is backward. 4) no spout, so pouring is not great. But overall for the price... it is a spanking good buy.

I've had a large, heavy 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for years, which I love and have used for everything from making bread dough to shredding cheese, pureeing soups or other blender-type tasks, dicing vegetables, and even making nut butters, oat flour, and more. But it's so large and heavy and was a pain to get out for small things, plus the large work bowl wasn't well suited for some of these smaller tasks, either. So, I finally decided to get one of these. It's great! It's lightweight, easy to get out or put away, and is very convenient for small tasks. In my case, I often use it to make just a cup of oat flour or to "blend" blueberries and bananas into plain yogurt as an easy breakfast. It's so convenient I've used it almost every day for the last month (since I got it), unlike my large model that I only got out if I really thought the effort was worth it. It's also fairly easy to clean. The manual says all removable parts ares dishwasher safe, but I've mostly been hand washing to make sure it's ready for the next day (but the dishwasher has also worked). There are some disadvantages, one obvious: it's quite small, so it's not suitable for larger jobs (or heavier--the motor says 250 W; my large one is 720 W). Even with a 4-cup bowl, I can't imagine making much more than 1 cup of oat flour or similar dry ingredients before it gets to be too much. But that's perfect for me -- it's actually better than my large one for this small of an amount. It's also quite loud. I got ear plugs to wear while using it, which I know sounds excessive but really seems like a good idea with this unit. Other disadvantages include a non-waterproof lid (or really anything-proof): there are two small holes in the top, apparently by design. This mostly isn't a problem unless it's probably too full -- again, you won't really get a full 4 cups -- and the contents are watery; in actual use, this has rarely come up for me. Also, replacement parts practically cost more than the unit itself, which I discovered after I considered buying another bowl, lid, and blade (to worry about washing less) since I'm using mine almost every day. Some may also not like that the unit is gray but is actually plastic instead of stainless steel, though I don't personally mind. All things considered, this is a great unit as long as you're aware of the capacity and power--but it works well for its size! If you're like me and want an alternative to your larger food processor, I'd consider this one (but if you're looking for mostly larger jobs, probably start with one of those instead).

Best helper in my kitchen. I use it daily. Can’t imagine cooking without it. Saves me time and effort. Great quality appliance. Motor, cup, blade and lid last long time. Only had to replace motor once in 25 years.

I have the larger Cuisinart food processor and really like it, but it is much heavier and too large for chopping a small amount of walnuts. I bought this one primarily just for that purpose. It is very easy to move around, very easy to assemble, operate and take apart to wash. It does chop the nuts very well-the size of chopped nuts is determined by how you operate the 2 control buttons. In the past I have had excellent customer service from Cuisinart in case there is a problem while product under warranty. The price of brushed chrome color model I purchased from Amazon was very reasonable.

Works great for smaller quantity
