I am reviewing this product based on its chopping function (have not tried grinding with it) and found the appliance powerful, job is done very quickly and effectively. The size is a little too big for most of the chopping I need but have found other uses for it that require more space such as preparing salsa.Glad I bought it!

I just love the Cuisinart mini-prep processor. I had a full size Cuisinart for almost 30 years and bought this to replace the older, larger one and I was not disappointed. I think the motor is even stronger in the new one and it chops more quickly and evenly. It's well made and very handy!

This is a great small food processor if I want to chop a small amount of garlic, nuts or the like. Rather than take out my large cuisinart for such small jobs, this is much easier to get out of the cabinet. It does not take the place of my large Cuisinart but is very handy to have around.

This is the third one I have owned. Best appliance to have to save time and energy. If you only used it to chop onions it would be worth the price. It does so much more. Anything a big Food Processer can do but not as messy cleanup. Perfect for small jobs or singles or couples. Make up salads, bread crumbs and even chops meat.

It works well. Love the buttons and how it automatically reverses the blades. I feel the plastic of the container feels a bit thin. Wished it felt stronger because I get the feeling it will crack or a part will break off. I guess the final products now a days are a bit more flimsy than the ones made a couple of decades ago. It’s the new way of doing things.

I really love my mini food processor. It was not my first choice, but it is my best choice. My other brand mauled whatever I was trying to chop or dice. This Cuisinart mini food processor chopped and grinded very quickly a. I find it to be worth the money spent and then some.

Mini-prep, where have you been all my life? I love this little machine! So easy to clean and as powerful as my huge food processor. The perfect graham cracker crust maker. You can do enough for one pie in one bowl. Chopping is a breeze and so easy to regulate. I will wear it out and happily buy another!!

I had a chopper similar to this which I owned for a long time. I needed a replacement and I am so happy with this purchase. I use it for everything I need to chop/grind everything I need to for my cooking. Just love it. Then I found out my friend has the same thing and we compared notes and have the same conclusion! It is definitely a good purchase. I would definitely recommend this.

I asked for this for Mother’s Day and I could not be happier with it— I use it almost everyday to chop garlic, onions, Kalamata olives and other small items— stuff I used to do by hand b/c I didn’t want to drag out the big food processor. Love the compact size and big power

It will do, but not for people who cook a lot. I had my 11 cup Cuisinart for a very long time and finally decided that rather than replace the bowl at a steep price, I would get this small F.P. as I don't cook as much anymore. I have learned that it's OK for a few smallish jobs such as grinding up Parm, but it won't get the same use as a large machine due to the reduced power and volume.
