Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, 24-Ounce Mini Food Processor to Chop Herbs, Vegetables, and Hard Cheese, 24-Ounce Work Bowl, Reversible Stainless Steel Blade, DLC-2ABC, Brushed Chrome

This Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus is a great little food processor that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s very easy to use, powerful for its size, and handles chopping herbs, vegetables, and even hard cheese without any issues. The 24-ounce work bowl is a good size for everyday prep, and the reversible stainless steel blade works efficiently. Cleanup is quick, and the compact design makes it easy to store when not in use. Versatile, well built, and an excellent value—I can’t find anything to complain about.

Exactly what I was looking for! Needed a small compact food processor for small uses. For example salad dressing that calls for 2 cups of liquid + herbs. I premix in a 3 cup measuring first. Then pour into the processor. Drop in 1 large avocado that has been cut and mashes so it mixes without large chunks. Then press the button and release to pulse and reverse blade direction. Quick and convenient and do much easier than using our large food processor. We have always had good luck with Cuisinart products and this one is no exception. Well made, safety features and so easy to clean in sink with just water. Only problem I ran into was chopping cauliflower. I precut into very small pieces first. Dropped in and used chop. Did great, except since cauliflower tends to be sticky starch, I used the provided small scraper to rotate bottom chopped to top and press ones that did not chop down to bottom. The sticky cauliflower stuck to the sides and left open area above the blades. 1 more blade towards top like other brands would solve that one problem. Otherwise, a great product for small uses. Also tried the grind mode for small bowl of walnuts. Chop size is controlled by pressing releasing grind button. Same for other mode,

This little food processor is just TERRIFIC! It's hard to chop up onions in a large processor but this does them perfectly. It's a lot more powerful than one would think. It's perfect for small jobs and takes up very little counter space. It's a real bargain!

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus is a kitchen essential for small, everyday tasks. Its 24-ounce bowl is perfectly sized for chopping herbs, grinding hard cheeses, or whipping up quick pestos and dressings without the hassle of a full-sized processor. Quality & Performance: The build quality is impressive for its size, and it works exactly as expected. The Auto-Reversal blade feature—sharp on one side for chopping and blunt on the other for grinding—makes it surprisingly versatile. It’s powerful, easy to clean, and takes up very little counter space. Verdict: A reliable, high-quality workhorse for any home cook who values efficiency and space.

I've had a large, heavy 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for years, which I love and have used for everything from making bread dough to shredding cheese, pureeing soups or other blender-type tasks, dicing vegetables, and even making nut butters, oat flour, and more. But it's so large and heavy and was a pain to get out for small things, plus the large work bowl wasn't well suited for some of these smaller tasks, either. So, I finally decided to get one of these. It's great! It's lightweight, easy to get out or put away, and is very convenient for small tasks. In my case, I often use it to make just a cup of oat flour or to "blend" blueberries and bananas into plain yogurt as an easy breakfast. It's so convenient I've used it almost every day for the last month (since I got it), unlike my large model that I only got out if I really thought the effort was worth it. It's also fairly easy to clean. The manual says all removable parts ares dishwasher safe, but I've mostly been hand washing to make sure it's ready for the next day (but the dishwasher has also worked). There are some disadvantages, one obvious: it's quite small, so it's not suitable for larger jobs (or heavier--the motor says 250 W; my large one is 720 W). Even with a 4-cup bowl, I can't imagine making much more than 1 cup of oat flour or similar dry ingredients before it gets to be too much. But that's perfect for me -- it's actually better than my large one for this small of an amount. It's also quite loud. I got ear plugs to wear while using it, which I know sounds excessive but really seems like a good idea with this unit. Other disadvantages include a non-waterproof lid (or really anything-proof): there are two small holes in the top, apparently by design. This mostly isn't a problem unless it's probably too full -- again, you won't really get a full 4 cups -- and the contents are watery; in actual use, this has rarely come up for me. Also, replacement parts practically cost more than the unit itself, which I discovered after I considered buying another bowl, lid, and blade (to worry about washing less) since I'm using mine almost every day. Some may also not like that the unit is gray but is actually plastic instead of stainless steel, though I don't personally mind. All things considered, this is a great unit as long as you're aware of the capacity and power--but it works well for its size! If you're like me and want an alternative to your larger food processor, I'd consider this one (but if you're looking for mostly larger jobs, probably start with one of those instead).

It is potent, it does what the description indicates, it works very well….and most importantly!!! It is SAFE to use!!! I chose this specific chopper/grinder because it is UL approved/certified. I have seen so many scary reviews on those cheaper machines causing fires while being used. Unfortunately, I have spent so much money in several different small appliances and/or machines (including solar patio lights, indoor lights with wax warmer, plug in sets with several outlets, etc., etc.) that are NOT UL approved or certified and I have REMOVED them all. I myself have experienced a small fire and short circuit with one of these in my bathroom!!! This machine is perfect for my zero space counter, it works well, and I don’t have to be switching blades when I want to move from chopping to grinding.

Blades are at the bottom which is great! Can add small amounts of liquid through only one opening. Chops and grinds- great job for a small machine!

I love it! It goes in my Pink kitchen very well and works well making dog food, salads, and dressing. It doesn't take up too much counter space and can easily be put in the pantry

This is a must have tool in our kitchen , the first one lasted 15 years or more and is still going strong , the blade housing has developed a crack and that makes it no longer food safe the replacement blade was almost as much as the new one so we just replaced the entire machine ! MUST HAVE MACHINE EXCELLENT VALUE !

Es un buen procesador prácticamente para raciones para 2 personas, muy fácil de usar, uno presiona los botones el tiempo necesario para dejar el picado o batido de los alimentos según nuestras necesidades. Muy satisfecho

My cusinart blade is plastic made so got rubbed and not working. Can't grind. So sad

I have been using this product for making purees for my baby girl which is very useful and easy to clean. It grinds fruits and vegetables to our desired consistency. Operating is also easy.

Está lindísimo, el color y la calidad muy buenos. Puedes hacer cosas básicas y para dos personas.
