Amazon.com Review
This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Good Little Thing
My wife had the full size model and wanted to try the small one. She still uses the full size model but she uses this one more and loves it. It has worked well for almost two years without a problem.

Never got it
I ordered this item and was told it would take several weeks for delivery, then I received an e-mail a few weeks later that it was going to take even longer....so I cancelled the order. I'm sure it would have been a good machine, but I went with the larger 7-cup model and I'm happy I did.

Mini Prep Plus
This is the perfect size when you just want to make a salad dressing or a quick sauce. The one thing you have to be careful about is not to overheat the motor by leaving it on too long. I use mine two or three times a week.
