I had a mini-prep that was a staple in my kitchen equipment for years. When it's time finally came to process no more, there was only one choice to replace it -- another Cuisinart! The new model has a more powerful motor and the love affair with my mini food processor continues.

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.

My original mini-prep stopped working after many years of good use. I was satisfied with its performance so I decided to replace it with the newer model. It works just fine and is much more user friendly when attaching the lid to operate. Performance is the same as older model. As mentioned in some other reviews - it is lighter in weight than the older model. I did need to hold it in place while using - the reason for 4 stars. Other than that - I expect to get many years of service again. It’s always been a staple in my food prep. Although I looked at other manufacturers, I still came back to a brand I trusted.

What a fabulous little food processor. Yes, it's small, so it won't process gallons of ingredients at a time. Small, but mighty! I was shocked at how powerful it is. If you have tons of storage space and would like to have both a small and a large food processor, this is a great choice. By contrast, if you've got a tiny kitchen and didn't think you have enough space for a food processor, this small but powerful model will be a pleasant surprise!

Thin flimsy plastic. It's bendable and seems like it will crack easily. Also, Terrible High pitch sound while grinding or chopping on pulse or continuous. Very disappointing for a cuisinart product. Cheaply constructed. The chopping and grinding is fairly consistent.

Fingers crossed this one lasts longer than its more expensive siblings. After have the blade break on the more expensive version, twice, and knowing how much they cost to replace, I decided to try this more affordable version to see if it will last any longer (or at least the same)

Amazing Kitchen Appliance which you can make anything from Hummus to salsa ….I love the size and power of this small processor and it gets the job done perfectly whether it’s chopping garlic or onions or prepping a mix of basil pine nuts and garlic for pesto this is a must have..

I love this chopper. It is my second one. One design flaw is the cover. I had to replace my first one because the safety extension on the cover, broke off. If it was shorter, maybe it wouldn't be so easy to snap off? Other than that this is a very handy appliance - doesn't take up a lot of room on the counter and is efficient for chopping onions, peppers etc. without overprocessing and less to clean up than a full size processor. I missed it so much figuring I would just use my big food processor instead, that I had to repurchase. I guess it's a must have! :)

My mini-prep processor is perfect! It stays on my counter because I use it constantly. It makes cooking so much easier as I'm a vegetarian and I use a lot of chopped nuts and many chopped veggies in my recipes. I love the ease of use, and it cleans perfectly in the dishwasher. I highly recommend it.

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.
