We ordered a new Cuisinart 3 cup food processor to replace our previous 12 year old one. The old motor ran flawlessly, however, the plastic piece that holds the food to be processed, broke on the lip, preventing it from locking in place. Since the old model is no longer available, a new one was required. I must admit, the original one was much sturdier and exudes more quality than its replacement. Hanging on to the old motor - for what reason, I’m not certain!!! JCEJr Supply, NC

I was looking for some thing that wouldn't take a lot of space and this fit the bill. I'm surprised by how powerful it is. I use it to make ice cream and other things. It never lets me down and the consistency is spot on every time! I highly recommend this.

I actually purchased three a few years ago...one for me and two for daughters. Fast forward to me sending my son home with mine! I really missed it; so purchased another recently. Still love it as it is extremely handy, easy to use, (once you figure out how to snap the lid in place), and easy to clean. My new one is red and I love it....also, would never be able to “gift” these if the price wasn’t right!

I bought my first mini-prep (not sure what it was called then) in the late 1990's. Sounds like ancient history but it has lasted me this long, and is still fully functional, but getting a little sad from a quarter century of use and abuse. So this is my second one and it is awesome of course. The parts aren't interchangeable but who cares, this thing will chop about anything. TIP for use: when chopping something stubborn, alternate between the 2 settings in short, as in 1-3 seconds, intervals.

I really like this little food processor. I needed something that was small when I don't have big jobs but need quick chopping, like grinding nuts or single-serve pesto. The only drawback is it is really loud and screechy. I do love it though and it seems like it is well-made and will last a long time!

We bought this so that we could easily make pesto from our basil plant. We cook from scratch regularly so we have found a number of uses for this so that we don’t have to chop or grind by hand. It’s small enough that we can leave it our my counter along with our other regularly used kitchen appliances. It has filled in a void.

I use this several times a week for chopping/grinding garlic, onions, turmeric, ginger, and more. I love that I can do a quick chop or use it longer to mince things. I have a larger food processor for large batches, however, this is perfect for smaller ones. I love it and would buy again.

Purchased it mainly to purée and emulsify as older version could not accommodate liquid and would only chop and grind dry substances. It puréed well and is good for small volumes. Tried chopping pecans and the result was a mixture of powder and large chunks. Had more consistent result using a chefs knife.

I bought this for my mother who has no teeth! She was an amazing cook and can't eat anything anymore. :( I bought this so we can chop up food to a small size without pulverizing it. She loves it! She's becoming more and more healthy because now she can get a variety of food. I have one at home that I just replaced after 28 years. I use mine weekly. Can't say enough good things about this size chopper.

Very handy easy to use and clean fir small processing jobs. This is my second one. The first one lasted for 17 years. Motor is still good, but since I have been putting it in the dishwater for years, the plastic bowl finally broke. Not sure the new one will last that long. The plastic bowl does not appear to be as thick and strong as the old one. Apparently, you cannot buy just the bowl; however, it is a very inexpensive item. It is a very good miniature processor.
