Picked this up at Costco for a price that couldn't be beat. I needed a small food processor that wouldn't take up a lot of space, and this one fit the bill.

I bought it mainly to chop small batches of veggies, grind spices, and make dip, a task which it accomplishes very well. It is a bit on the loud side, but since I use it mainly on pulse, the noise doesn't bother me. The blade is very sharp and makes short work of the veggies. I rarely have to use it for longer than 10 seconds. I find it easiest to hold the top of the machine with one hand and press the buttons with the other.

You can head off the issue with unprocessed chunks by alternating between chop and grind. Chop for a few seconds until it starts to separate, then hit grind for a second to reverse the blade and suck the unprocessed parts back down, then back to chop again.

I LOVE this mini food processor! I bought it to make my own baby food, and it works great. It is much better at making purees than a regular blender - I could never get all the lumps out. This food processor is also great for chopping onions, bell peppers, etc and saves lots of time on chopping when cooking meals. And it's not as loud as a blender or large food processor, so my baby doesn't get upset when I use it.

I love this processor. It's fairly small but easy to store, use and clean. It serves my purpose nicely.

I HAD BROKEN MY LOWER DENTURE. YE GADS! HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO EAT.
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL OR MY WIFE, SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A MINI FOOD
PROCESSOR. WOW! I'M EATING BETTER THAN I DID WITH MY DENTURES.
IT WILL DO PORK CHOPS, ROAST BEEF AND STEAKS TO A PALATABLE AND
TASTY FINE MORSEL. I'M DOING FRUITS, VEGETABLES, SALADS, ETC.
EATING WITH A SPOON SUITS ME JUST FINE. OH! AND I SAVED $20 TOO!
SINCERELY, .........RAY DUNN

This processor has met every criteria I had. Easy to use, easy to clean, and small enough to handle easily. I plan to buy them for my 2 dau-in-laws for Christmas.

This is a very handy addition is you're doing a good amount of chopping. Just toss in your rough-chopped ingredients all together and give it a whir. Best of all, it's only three pieces and cleans up nicely in the dishwasher - - though most of the time it just takes a quick rinse and it's ready for action.

I purchased this item as a Mother's Day gift, and my mom thinks it's wonderful.

THIS IS A FINE LITTLE MACHINE THAT I BOUGHT TO REPLACE A VERY OLD MINI PROCESSOR...THE ONLY THING THAT IT LACKS IS A GRATER ATTACHMENT...OH WELL...I'LL LOOK FOR THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE, IN THE MEANWHILE I'M HAPPY WITH THE JOB IT DOES ON SMALL PROCESSING JOBS

We love Cuisinart at my house. Still, my husband thought this purchase was unnecessary, since we already have the Cuisinart DLC-1 Mini-Prep, a slightly smaller version of this model. But I have found that the little bit of extra room in this Mini Prep Plus really makes a difference. This is still a pretty small processor. But for big jobs, it is easier to just separate the job into a few small batches and use the Mini Prep Plus a few times over than to lug out the bigger processors to use just once. The Mini Prep Plus is so easy to clean, as well. I love my Mini Prep Plus! I use it more than any of our other processors. I highly recommend it!

I bought this machine in order to make my baby's food and it worked fine for that task. But when I started chopping nuts and hard cheeses, it just couldn't do it. The blade broke and I just realized that it costs about $20 -s+h included- to replace it. It's just not worth it.

I am totally satisfied with this processor.i've tried others in the past, and by far this one is the best one I've ever had.It works as a clock.A friend of mine has the same and she's had it for several years now.Still as good as new!

I'm not big on fussy cooking techniques or complicated recipes, but I do like high quality fresh ingredients. After giving away my large food processor because I was always too lazy to use it, I went for decades just chopping by hand. I finally decided to spring for this little gadget just to see if it would encourage me to cook more creatively, and things are looking very promising. As others have mentioned, it is quite convenient to use, handle, and clean. I just made a dressing out of garlic, olive oil, vinegar, sun dried tomatoes, herbs, sugar, and a little lemon zest, and it came out so tasty I ate an enormous carrot just to have a dressing-delivery-vehicle. For added decadence I may add some grated cheese. It did an especially neat and tidy job of finely mincing the garlic, so that ingredient will be making a much more frequent appearance in my cooking -- now I need breath mints!!

I recently ordered Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus, brushed chrome

Very pleased with the prompt service and quality for the price. It is just right for my needs and easy to store as I am in an apt. with a smaller kitchen than when I was younger. One thing that you might want to improve on would be clearer instructions as to how to assemble the cover of the cup in order for it to make contact with the power. I am a widow and my husband was the one with the mechanical ability. Thankfully, I did get it figured out and am enjoying the ease of chopping and grinding. Thanks, Cuisinart

I never use my big food proceesor and we sent the blender to goodwill. We make smoothies and jusice drings in this and chop herbs, garlic and make quick sauces. How could I live without it?

I have the 11 cup Cuisinart & for years I used a FP attachment for my Krups blender, but it broke after only 6 years (grin).

I put off buying one of these thinking that it wouldn't be big enough or powerful enough to do what I needed it to do, essentially replace my molcajete for grinding and my large Cuisinart for smaller jobs.

This little machine rocks!

I love the fact that I don't have to fish around for the blade, that it's not 'keyed' and the grind and chop buttons reverse the food so that it's sucked back down into the workbowl, making having to scrape the sides nearly unnecessary.

I used it the first time to make an onion, garlic, herb & spice puree for my Mexican meatloaf recipe and it really did the job! I've seen some people complain that it makes onion puree, well, not unless you want it to.

I gave it a few quick pulses and had chopped onions. I then reversed the blades by using grind and by switching back and forth, had the puree done in a matter of seconds.

It can just chop easily enough, that was obvious.

Also, not having to remove the bowl to take off the lid is a terrific feature.

It would have gone into the dishwasher, but it was so simple to just wash it out with a sponge that I didn't bother. I will put it in the dishwasher if I'm making a large meal, but this can be rinsed and reused simply enough.

Quite the little workhorse for the money.

Most of my appliances are white, but since they've tended to yellow over the years, I chose this chrome version. It's not actually chrome, it's painted on, but that's okay, it wiped clean easily and since it's not shiney, no worry about fingerprints.

Get one, you'll wonder how you did without it!

This chopper is certainly handy for chopping just about anything. But it is small. Small is good because it takes up almost no space in my tiny galley kitchen, but it does take several batches sometimes to chop things up. It is worth it to never have to chop onions by hand again, Simply quarter them and let this little guy do the rest. I do wish sometimes that it could hold slightly more.

This is my first food processor. The bowl is small and things must be chopped in batches, but that works for the limited use it gets in my kitchen. That said, it does work really well and is very easy to take apart, clean and put back together. If you really need to chop large amounts of veggies in a hurry, look for a larger processor.

A friend wanted to buy one of those big jars of organic garlic cloves(already peeled), and offered to share them with me. We agreed that we could chop them and cover them with good quality organic olive oil; then we'd have chopped garlic handy for any recipe.

I imagined how long it would take. Then I remembered I'd just purchased this little gem, and agreed to take half of the garlic.

I still imagined the task taking an hour or so, but after chopping the first batch (about 1/3 of the amount she gave me), I realized this was going to be a ten minute job at most. I'm new to food processing, if you can believe that.

Needless to say, I use a lot more garlic now than I would if I had to peel and chop it by hand.

I also made olive oil mayonnaise, which turned out fantastic!
I chose this model because of the little holes in the top, through which you can drizzle oil while the blades are running. It took a bit of research to find one with that feature, but that was the clincher for me, as well as the positive reviews comparing models (on Amazon of course).

I purchased the Mini Prep to help with the chore of chopping veggies and herbs for soups, stews, and sauces. It does a great job and I especially like the way you can reverse the blades by toggling the chop and grind buttons. The assembly and clean up are easy and fast. The small size is a big plus on storage. The whole unit seems to be well made with sturdy parts. The only reason I hold back the fifth star is because you can't use this unit for liquids. I tried to blend up a quick smoothie and had it everywhere. I would still highly recommend this unit to anyone.

This is such a great food processor and in the month or so that i have owned it, I have gotten a lot of use out of it.
Tests I have put it through:
Pesto - makes great creamy pesto every time
Salsa - Blends everything well, but make sure you blend things of different consistencies separately, ex. if you put in tomatoes and peppers at the same time the tomatoes will turn to mush while the peppers will be nice and chunky.
Guacamole - very smooth and creamy, wonderful!
Bread crumbs - I was able to get them to the consistency of brown sugar, very small, uniformly blended, and perfect for meatloaf & meatballs.

Some things like cheeses stick to the blades and aren't good for this machine.
And the the only con I can think of is that its pretty noisy.

I love the mini prep and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

This product is a good buy if you know how to use it. I figured out that you have to pulse instead of just letting the chopper do its thing. If you just press "chop" it will end up almost pureeing your onions (that's what happened to me).
Other than that, it's a great product as I am not a fan of chopping onions.

I love this little guy for making hummus. The size is perfect for making single portions or for two. Only negative is that the cord isn't that long.

I bought this Cuisinart Mini Prep about 1 year ago.
It just died on me.
It will immediately be replaced with something else.
There MUST be better quality food processors on the market.
Cheap!

i bought this because i purchased a Kitchenaid 12-Cup Processor and i was tired of taking it out..for little small items,...like onions, tomoatoes, and peppers...etc..

So i purchased this and it is AWESOME! It takes seconds to chop an onion, bell pepper, or tomato. Also it can also make the items liquidy. Which is great if your are doing puree..of some kind.

I give it 5 stars!!!! I would for sure recommend this product to anyone!

This is a powerful little chopper. I've been very impressed thus far. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because I thought the plastic container seemed rather flimsy. But aside from that, it has worked splendidly. The chop button works great when slight mincing is needed. The grind button is good for liquefying your food! I would definitely recommend this chopper.

I was mainly looking for a way to make baby food and this is great! I just take whatever we are eating and throw it in and it makes a very smooth puree. I was concerned but the 2 settings are chop and grind so I didnt know if it would do a smooth enough puree but it is as smooth as silk. I have not yet tried to chop an onion or anything else yet but for those looking for baby food this is great and the perfect size. Not to big and not to small.

I borrowed this Mini Prep from my son to decide on whether it was worth the expense to purchase. I found that I liked it very much and it is very easy to use and extremely time saving in the chopping department. If you are like me and not very good at chopping veggies for recipes, you will like this. Just remember not to get carried away when holding down the chop button or it will turn out more finely chopped than desired.

I absolutely love this mini Cuisinart and have owned one for approximately four years now. It's not fancy and should not replace a higher power puree machine --- however, it is perfect for making a sauce or salad dressing. It has saved me in many a pinch when I needed to get dinner done on time. It is perfect for cooking for two people.

Keep in mind: It does wiggle around a bit, so you have to hold it down.

I bought my Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus a few weeks before Thanksgiving, after living without any kind of food processor for a few years. My old cheapo (neither Cuisinart nor KitchenAid) food processor was long gone, after I broke some plastic doohickey on it.

The Mini Prep Plus worked fine for a few small jobs. Then I volunteered to make cranberry relish for our large extended family Thanksgiving dinner. And immediately eyed the full-size food processors, but decided against buying one of them.

By taking it easy and not trying to overload or overwhelm the Mini Prep Plus, I successfully used it to make two large batches of different cranberry relish recipes. From fruit to nuts, it performed like a little champ. I chopped small quantities of ingredients, then combined them in a big bowl. And I used a lot of pulsing rather than continuous grinding or chopping. Which I think is the way this machine was intended to be used, anyway.

If you want - or need - to be able to just dump lots of stuff into a food processor and chop/grind/blend it all at once, then this little guy isn't what you're looking for. But for small jobs, or dishes in which you can chop/grind things in smaller batches and combine them in another container, this is a good choice.

The Mini Prep Plus is simple to assemble, disassemble, and clean. The blade is easy to slip into place and out again, and you can grab the blade assembly without sticking your fingers down into the food. The mini prep is designed to require the lid to be attached before the food container is slotted into place for operations, a safety measure I appreciate.

This is one of my favorite gadgets. Simple, small, and efficient.

This is my second Mini-Prep. I used the first so often that the second comes in handy all the time. From fresh salsas to chopped herbs it's a lifesaver and so much easier than cleaning up the large Cuisinart when only doing a small task.

I use this everyday to make baby food. We spend a lot less buying baby food, and our son gets to eat what we are having giving him a bigger variety.

I have had many mini choppers but this one is better in that it is larger than most but not large enough to take up more space and it gives you 2 settings - grind and chop. I love this item and highly recommend it to those who do not want to drag out the big one!

The Cuisinart Mini is a great little chopper. Works fine when a large food processor is not needed.

This is perfect for daily use for a small family of 4 like mine. I love it! Easy to clean too.

This mini food processor has a lot of power. It's small enough to keep on the countertop so I find that I use it almost every day. With only 3 removable parts, it's easy to clean. I had an older model that did not have anywhere near the fine chopping and grinding qualities that this one has. I highly recommend it!
