My mom had one while I was growing up and always loved using it when I would cook; so naturally when I got married and moved out, I got one for our home too. It’s perfect for quick and fine chopping because I’d never be able to chop that small without cutting some fingers off but I especially like it for the pesky onions that make me cry. I’m able to throw the onions in there and the chopper does all the work for me, so no more tears! Would definitely recommend this or also the bigger version too.

I usually like the products from this company but the last two things I bought were disappointing. The capacity is too small. I did not realize how limiting three cups would be so I would advise betting the four cup model. The top is difficult to align and to take on and off. The chop setting is a misnomer - it pulverizes very quickly. You either get pieces that are too big or too small and mushy. The blade is very sharp, which I suppose is a good thing but consequently must be washed very carefully.

This little Mini Prep is a life saver. Love it. I use it for everything from chopping nuts to making a quick vegan frozen dessert for me & my husband. I have the traditional larger Cuisinart Food Processor which I love also. This is great for smallest portions. Easy clean up. Love love love it!!!

Maybe I got a dud but I'm very disappointed in the performance. 1.It leaks out the bottom when very warm liquids put in it. 2.Failed to puree beans fine for a creamy hummus. Ok for chopping onions (not uniformly) but I purchased it as a multi use tool with high hopes of making my life easier. That didn't happen.

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 mini-processor based on a recommendation in a magazine, where it was given the best review due to being able to grind spices and process food. I've actually only used it once so far to dice onions and it worked perfectly. I have a large Cuisinart food processor that I've been very happy with for many years.

The DLC2-A is a very nice piece but for one little quibble. There is no neat way to store the power cord and plug. We had the previous model (DLC-1 ?) on which, the cord and plug stored snugly when coiled at bottom of unit. Aside from that, it is a better device.

The Mini-Prep Plus Processor was exactly what I was looking for. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is easy to use and clean. I have used this processor for many different things, and each time it has performed wonderfully. I would highly recommend.

I bought the mini prep because I wasn’t sure I really needed the larger 8 cup full food processor. This 3 cup mini can chop and grind wonderfully. I do wish the buttons didn’t have to be continuously pressed and held down for it to operate. I would prefer a toggle switch; press for on, then press to stop. It gets tiring holding the chop or grind button the entire time.

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.
