Like the original mini processors…Finally, it works with no issues!
We had a mini food processor like this from KitchenAid we had for 10 + years and it worked great. It went caput and we replaced it with another KitchenAid but the set up was different (improved…not in my opinion). IF you didn’t make just the right connections you had to empty and try again. Truly annoying and totally inefficient.So we searched for a replacement and found the Cuisinart and it does not disappoint. It works similar to the design of many years ago with one additional safety feature which is not an issue at all. LOVE it, I feel like I should stock up in case they change the design and they become useless.Pro’s: Super easy to attach the cup, turn and lock in place. Center component and blade are all one piece so it is easy to clean and no parts to lose. Chop & Grind features, all I need and works for everything I needed this for. Does not take up much space. Large enough capacity to chop 1 bag of Costco Tenderloins (I do cook and cut them in half before placing them in this. Easy to clean.Con’s: NONE, Absolutely not one thing we do not like about this convenient, handy kitchen appliance that does the job well and is easy to use.

Works great, dishwasher safe!
Works great, girlfriend loves it, dishwasher safe, whatâs not to love? Itâs good. It is loud!It locks into place easily when turning. The blade seems sharp enough to grind things into a powder. Assembly involves just putting the main container on and turning it into place, super easy. Speed seems fine. My only complaint is that it didnât grind 100% of the things we put into it into a powder, meaning we had to use a strainer afterwards, I think thatâs just a function of the blade being relatively far from the bottom of the container maybe?Overall though it worked great and is simple and dishwasher safe. Itâs also nice and small which is great.

Perfect Little Processor!
I am on a ground chicken breast kick at the moment and was adamant that I would no longer pay almost $5 a pound when whole chickens are $.99 a pound! It was a no brainer that I could grind my own and save a lot of money. I found this little gem and it was delivered while I was out buying chicken! I immediately washed it, prepared the chicken breast and, in just a matter of minutes, I had 2 pounds of ground chicken breast, two drumsticks, 2 thighs, and 2 wings for under $7!This little machine worked flawlessly, was just the right size, appears to be durable, cleaned up effortlessly, and the price was very affordable! Can’t wait to try the ‘chop’ function!

Cuisinart Electric chopper
This looks nice. I got a red one. Its all plastic except blade. Easy to clean. It does not seem as sturdy as my 20 yr old 1 cup. I replaced with this one bc the blade in old one is dull. Nothing is made heavy duty or long lasting anymore. This chopper works. Its larger than my 1.5 cup chopper but not able to handle 2 or 3 cups either. I haven’t figured out how to make it chop evenly. You are supposed to pulse it rather than steadily holding chop or grind button. I chop carrots and other veggies. Onions, nuts. I can only do one cup at a time. If you think to chop a large amount at one time, forget it. This does chop. The blade is quite sharp. If you overfill, it will spill out. Again, getting it to chop evenly has eluded me. There are always larger pieces that get missed while the rest gets overly pulverized. I wld recommend hand washing it. I dont think the cup or lid wld survive the temp in dishwasher. I kept it bc I needed one with a sharp cutting blade. Im not a daily or big time cook. It suits me for now. I have other Cuisinart brand kitchen supplies. This is not their worst but, not their best either.

It’s great and it’s pink!!
Had something similar from another expensive company when I saw this one. Absolutely great little product. Easy to use, easy to clean, wanted a small chopper to handle small amounts of chopping and this is it! Slips right into the cupboard and out of sight when not in use; love it. Plus, it’s pink and at a fraction of the cost!

Great little food processor!
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).

This is not suitable in our family . To operate this a additional requirement is required which I don’t want to buy.
