Product Description
The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Processor is the perfect kitchen helper for your small food preparation tasks. This compact processor occupies minimum counter space yet offers major advantages: more power than other choppers, 2-speed operation, large 21-ounce capacity and several colors to choose from.
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

 Very Good Processor November 12, 2008
Sal A. Longo
Very good for the size and price. Sometimes a couple of larger pieces are left, but it usually works really well!
 At first it was great - then it was dead October 28, 2008

I bought this for making baby food and for about 3-months (not a very arduous task), it was a very handy tool. Then the motor began whirring loudly and sometimes it wouldn't run at all. I thought it was user error and that I just wasn't assembling it properly. Then I didn't use it for a few months, and when I took it out, it just plain didn't work anymore.
Yes, it's not very expensive, but I would expect a Cuisinart product to have a life of more than a few months.
 Great for the price October 27, 2008

It's a great product for the price I found it for on amazon. It is small and fits nicely in my cabinet and the cord tucks away in the underneath casing easily. I gave it 3 stars because of 2 flaws. First, it doesn't chop onions like it says it should, it chops them very uneven so that they are either mashed completely or you have huge pieces left behind. Secondly, you have to hold down on the buttons the whole time ( I would have preferred having to just press it once to turn it on and then having a separate off button). Other than that, its a great processor. It purees well and makes great chutneys, salsa, guacamole, etc. It also does a great job of powdering nuts and spices. A decent buy!
mislead by ad... October 26, 2008

nice product, but not what i thought it was. the description lead me to believe it was a food processor, not a food chopper. i was looking for a processor with changing blades for more uses. guess this one goes out as a christmas gift.
It's A Joke, Right? October 19, 2008
affromma (Winchester MA)
Can't chop anything well. [Tried onions, tomatoes, celery, olives, nuts, and many other items.] Tried 2, 4, and 8-oz loads. Tried 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 cup loads.
All you get is half mush and the other half "as is".
I think it could "mix" 1/4 cup of cooked rice with a 1/2 cup of water ... but who needs that?
This will be the last Cuisinart product I'll buy; their griddler, blender, and ice cream maker are poorly engineered too ... and I long ago stopped using them.
