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

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.

Works well but obviously you can only process a small amount of food in this food processor. I ordered this intentionally for those times when I don't want to drag out my full-sized food processor. It does have a loud squeal when it runs but it does a good job.

This is not suitable in our family . To operate this a additional requirement is required which I don't want to buy.

NOT FOR THE EU COMES WITH A US PLUG!!!I can smell the engine when I run it even when using an adaptor. I think the wattage is too high for the EU. Also can’t put the barrel in the dishwasher or food gets stuck in side the handle and it has a special type of screw to unscrew it so I can’t get it clean. Don’t 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).

FAIT BIEN LE TRAVAIL QUI PRÉTEND , MEME TRES BIEN

My cusinart blade is plastic made so got rubbed and not working. Can't grind. So sad

Es un buen procesador prácticamente para raciones para 2 personas, muy fácil de usar, uno presiona los botones el tiempo necesario para dejar el picado o batido de los alimentos según nuestras necesidades. Muy satisfecho
