The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds.

For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp.

It chops nuts and shredded coconut well, I had a hard time with dried dates. Some dates remained whole even after I removed the dates that were sufficiently chopped. The recipe called for soaking the chopped dates in boiling water, doing this made the dates easier to chop once I removed them from the water. Next time I make date nut bread I will soak the dried dates first then chop them. The processor comes with one blade that has a sharp side and blunt edge but only one plastic assembly. I was afraid I would cut myself if I tried to change the blade to the other side. I wish they had 2 different assemblies and a protected storage case to store the extra one in. The instruction manual didn't include dates or dried fruit. I like that it is small enough that I can store it on the counter, the cord wraps neatly underneath the unit. Overall,I am pleased with the product.

I love everything about it except it needs a handle. Especially if you're doing cookie dough and your hands get a little butter on them. It is hard to remove the base without a handle. I love the buttons in front I love how small it is in my dishwasher. The blade does come apart into a ring and a base which is a little scary but I just leave them put together. The plastic is not very heavy so don't try to muscle the jar off the base or it may crack

It was one of the best purchases I made. I bought it because I had problems eating had my teeth removed now I used to look for many other things that took me time before now I get it done in minutes. I will continue to use it even though I'm able to eat regular food once again it was a great buy

Love this little chopper. I use it all the time to chop onions and garlic. Makes prep time so much easier.

works well, actually better than I expected, but my expectations were not high, considering we live in a throw away society where quality has been replaced by by planned obsolescence. Appears to be a high quality product very suitable for my needs. I hope it stands the test of time!

This is so handy when I don't have to mix more than a small amount. There are only 2 of us at home, so I am making smaller meals. This is the perfect tool.

For times when I don’t want to use the big Cuisinart this is ideal. It’s not as sturdy feeling as the big one but for something that size I don’t think it needs to be

The blade is difficult to remove. I’ve sliced my thumb twice. I thought Cuisinart would have developed a more efficient and safe way to reverse the super sharp blade.
