"Cry no more"
Works great for small jobs including powdering some spices. I also flip the blade over and shred onions with it. If you fill it up too full it will not work well. Remember this is not the full-size model. It is also very easy to clean up. no hard to clean nooks and crannies.

"mini-prep"
I purchased this item because the one I currently owned had a cracked plastic ring where the blade connected. I originally went on-line to purchase just the replacement part. However, it was only $5 more to buy all brand-new. My original mini-prep was more than 12 years old and served my kitchen needs well (chopping nuts and blending dressings mostly) and I expect the same service from the new one.

"Okay"
This is okay for chopping cilantro, but does not puree very well. I my mind it does not live up to the Cuisinart name. Much prefer my old Sunbeam Oskar.

"finger-slicing death trap"
The blade mechanism on this chopper is extremely difficult to remove or adjust. I have very small fingers, and there is still barely enough room between the two blades for me to press on the plastic ring to remove it. I can't imagine how someone with large fingers would manage. My husband and I both sliced our fingers numerous times the first time we assembled this and tried to change the blade position, so I read the manual to see if we were doing it wrong. Well, the diagram in the manual doesn't correspond to the actual machine, so it's useless.
On top of the danger, it doesn't even do that good of a job chopping. There's nothing I can do in this thing that I can't do better and more easily with my hand-held blender. Save your money AND your fingers! Steer clear of this thing!

"Would send it back if I knew how"
I wish I hadn't thrown away my old chopper when I got this one. It is a perfect size, but the chopping leaves much to be desired. It leaves a combination of huge chunks and liquid mush when chopping onions. I will play with it some more and see if I can figure out a way to make it consistent.

 

Cuisinart Mini-Prep Processor

What our customer's say!

"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.

"Cusinart Mini Prep Processer", I really should have read the title for this food processor a bit more carefully! It says "mini" and it is mini. It works great, looks swell, but it does not have the capacity I needed. Solely my fault for not really perusing the title more carefully.

"After all these years...still great!", I needed to replace my old one as the blade casing cracked and once I looked up the price for the replacement part I was smarter to just buy a new one! It's great and is very reliable. I can always count on this little machine to chopped and mince whatever I need it to do. Can't live without it. I liked the new color choices and chose the black stainless steel one...very nice looking! I thought about going just a bit bigger but decided not to mess with perfection! You won't be unhappy. Enjoy!!

"Great seller!", I needed a replacement for my broken "Cuisinart DLC-1SS Mini-Prep Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel" since we use it for the baby to mix and blend foods. The seller had send this item fast and with no problems, for which I am very thankful. I will definitely buy from this seller again in the future.
This is a great and indespensible item for all who have babies, by the way.
Thank you.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great Little Tool!", This mini-prep-processor is the second Cuisinart product I have bought from Amazon. The first was a refurbished convection toaster oven. The careful engineering and attractive, simple design of both products impress me. Also impressive is how wonderfully well they work!

After reading a lot of the Amazon reviews-- not all 350+-- I was convinced this mini-chopper-processor would be a better replacement for the small, inexpensive Black and Decker that burned out with no warning after one year of very mild use. Avoid Black & Decker in the kitchen is my conclusion. Anyway...
this Little Honey, that's what I call him, arrived the day before Thanksgiving. Before that I'd only used the B/D to pulverize cat food twice a day. The cats spit out meat or fish pieces they'd have to chew. Waste of money, so they get instant grind instead.
What good timing! I put that Little Honey right to work. The slightly larger cup capacity, two speeds, a strong sounding motor of the Cuisinart, and its crisp good looks kept inviting me to whip up quick dips, sauces and icings for unexpected company-- as well as, the morning and evening cat food.
The compact size lets me keep it up on the counter. I get more use out of it than my large food processor down in the cupboards somewhere. If it were a little larger I would replace the big processor.

Why only 4 stars?
I think it is a great little tool, but I am waiting to see how long before the motor burns out. And 4 stars because it does not chop evenly, when I chop such chunky things as celery or certain mixtures of wet cat food large pieces are left.
(No, not together! I wash it out well between food types.)

Usually I run it until I smell the motor burning then stop. That is after the recommended 10 to 12 seconds, alternating between Lo and Hi speeds. Some other reviewer mentioned the burning smell also, so I assume it is normal...
Anyway, if it is still doing this before the warranty runs I will have to send the Little Honey back. For now, I love it very much.

"peice of junk", This is one dumb @#$% item I've bought on amazon. The only thing it can do is a milk shake (with no fruits in it). Its so slow and the motor can't take the smallest of loads. Its such a piece of junk that though I for got to leave a review when I bought it, ( I bought this item in may'07) I'm still takin the pains to leave one now.

"Kitchen ease", This mini processor is everything I hoped it would be. It was exactly what I was looking for. Works great.

"Nice but tiny", I love the Cuisinart brand, but this particular food processor was quite small. It's great for small jobs or a single person.

"Pint sized helper", Tired of your old fashioned manual choppers? Tired of cleaning up that cutting board and losing all those juices? While I wish it offered another set of blades (to allow for larger chunks v. minced ones), its a great salsa, diced veggie, and seasonings aid in the kitchen and allows for a quick under the spigot clean up of the blades and cup. This dynamo is small enough to be portable, thus it travels well with us to shore rentals, etc. Considering my last manual chopper was nearly $20 with Pampered Chef and didnt even last a year, this was surprisingly well worth the additional $9.
