This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred Brack

In love with this little machine November 11, 2008
Jeanette Ferraro (NY)
I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because the first one I had broke within 2 months. We replaced it and have not had a problem since. My fault though, I over stuffed it. I also gave it 4 stars because it is so small. Though it's size makes it very easy to store.
My husband and I use this little guy for just about everything. I have used it to make butternut squash soup, grate cheese for various dishes, chop up garlic, make cheese cake and pretty much everything/ anything I can possibly think of. I use it very rarely to make salsa and guacamole because I prefer to have those two dishes on the chunky side. I find the mini prep is too powerful for those dishes. I highly recommend this product! I would be lost without it!
 Great for small jobs and easy to clean October 25, 2008
Veronica (Chevy Chase, MD)
After reading the numerous glowing reviews a couple of months ago, I bought this mini-processor. It's great for small jobs, such as making salad dressings, chopping small amounts of herbs and/or onions, grinding flax seeds, pureeing a few vegetables, and making smoothies. The noise and vibration of the processor when grinding frozen fruits gives me the impression that the motor is not powerful enough to handle hard objects and/or will break if used for more than a few seconds at a time. However, up to now the mini-processor has been working just fine. It's easy to clean and store. It cannot replace my trust-worthy 1981 large Cuisinart, but I'm glad I have, and definitely recommend, this Mini Prep Plus food processor.
Useful Kitchen Item October 18, 2008

I have little use for a large food processor. I use this little chop/grind item all the time in cooking. This one was a gift to someone who has a red kitchen. I was delighted to find it in red on Amazon.
Great good processor! October 12, 2008
Desirae Early (Berkele, CA, USA)
This food processor works great. It makes pesto better than any food process or I've used before. It is a great size if you're making food for a couple of people, but a bit small if you're cooking for more.
Does what I need it to September 26, 2008
Dark Helmet (Seattle, WA)
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.
