Amazon.com Review
The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds.

For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete

Customer Reviews

Perfect for small spaces, easy to clean, simple
This is my first food processor and I love it! I like that there's only two buttons (low and high) and that there aren't lots of pieces to clean. A cool feature is that it has a cord saver underneath it for easy storage. I've had this processor for about 2 years now and the blades are still sharp. Now that I'm making baby food, I'm considering getting a larger one!

Adequate
No complaints about this bowl. The small size is fine for our needs but we don't prepare large or fancy meals very often. I bought a replacement bowl for my DLC-1SS because the bowl became really dingy and filthy-looking after using it to grind some allspice. The texture of the spice acted like sandpaper and scarred the inside surface and it looks dirty all of the time.

great product
I bought this product for making baby food for my daughter and I love it. It is nice and small so I can leave it on the counter and not have to put it away all the time. I also love that it is easy to take apart and put back together for easy cleaning.
