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.

Upon a recommendation from Wirecutter, we bought the Kitchenaid version. Don’t do that. Its two-part locking lid made it very hard to turn the thing on. You’ll see this problem noted if you look at its reviews thoroughly. The Cuisinart is powerful and easy to use. We should have purchased it the first time.

Disappointed. Can't use it to chop/dice. Turns onions etc into mush.

Be careful with the Blades.I cut my fingerprint cleaning the Blades.

Great product

All suitable for my need

Easy to use, clean

It didn't work. My first time using it, three pulses made on chopped onions and it never worked after that.

Small unit, seems to have a lot of power, have only used it to chop instructions say not to overload it so only put small amounts at a time, does a good job

Small enough to meet my prep/cooking needs. The plastic bowl is a bit thin -- a glass bowl (even if it costs more,) would be better. Thank you. BTB
