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

5 out of 5 stars After all these years...still great!   June 26, 2008

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
