Cuisinart Mini Food Processor, Reversible Blade, 3-Cup Capacity

This little food processor has been a huge time-saver in my kitchen. Don’t let the size fool you—it has plenty of power to quickly chop onions, garlic, herbs, nuts, and make sauces or dips in just seconds. The 3-cup size is perfect for everyday cooking without taking up much counter or cabinet space. It’s very easy to assemble, use, and clean. The bowl and blade wash up quickly, and I appreciate that it doesn’t have a lot of complicated parts. The motor is powerful, and it produces consistent results every time. If you don’t need a large food processor, this is the perfect size for small families or everyday meal prep. It’s well made, reliable, and definitely worth the investment. I use mine all the time and would buy it again.

At first opening the box, this seemed a little fragile. Then, I tried to chop up around 2 cups of cubed, cooked beef. Within two seconds (literally), this mini processor had completely ground up the beef into small hamburger pieces. Then I tried some onion and some carrots. Same experience. I am very impressed. It works so efficiently, the plastic bowl is quite sufficient to contain the food products. It is easy to clean and takes up little space in the kitchen. It’s not designed to handle the local rugby crowd, but for 2 or three people, it is terrific. I’m not sure about longevity, but if it works this well for a year, it is worth the money.

This has helped with food prep. I use it primarily to make ginger-garlic paste, but I also use it occasionally for chopping other foods. It’s powerful and the blades are very sharp. It is small and wouldn’t be ideal for larger jobs, but it’s good for small batches. It took me a while to learn how to align the blade, the bowl, and the lid, but now it’s second nature. It cleans easily.

This is a good little food processor. It took me a while to pick one, especially because there are so many out there. Here are my lists of pros and cons after having this little guy for months: PROS: It is light-weight and easy to store as it pretty small, it is easy to clean, grinds up stuff really fast (it is a powerful little machine), and it is perfect size for a bit of hummus, or grinding up beans or nuts for a recipe. CONS: It is SO loud - every time I use it I feel like I need to wear earplugs. This is my first ever food-processor, so noise may be typical. I was just surprised by how piercingly sharp the grinding sound was. Also, It is almost impossible to emulsify anything unless the liquid I'm pouring in is the consistency of water as that is all that will go through the tiny holes in the top. So if there is any thickness at all to the liquid using to emulsify, I either have to revert back to a blender or pour in a bit and blend and pour more then blend again. I wish the little area of the top with the holes was removable to do this. I make little batches of hummus and dressings, and it would be nice to have the ability to pour in consistently and slowly. Even with these cons, I will use and keep this little machine until it no longer works. It was worth the money, and as a "food-processor newbie" it was way easier to use than my blender.

This is my 2nd one, I used it so much I wore it out! I’ve had it for about 7 or more years. The price went up and I needed to wait for it to go on sale. YAY for Prime Days!! I used it when our kids were living at home and now there’s just the 2 of us, use it for chopping veggies, fruits and nuts. Same thing: smaller in size about 3 cups, easy to manage, doesn’t take up much counter space, durable, dishwasher safe (on the top) always easy to assemble, and swift ease to use. The blades were always sharp after all those years. Zip, zip, zip done!! Love it!!!

Really a lightweight but very convenient for smaller volume chopping jobs. It does not handle food like a regular sized food processor in that food goes to the sides, so you can chop it only so much; you can’t puree. It took me awhile to get the hang of seating the bowl, blade and top. It’s worth taking up space in my kitchen and compensates for not having a full-sized processor.

Works great for smaller jobs. I didnt need/want a full size one. Perfect for one large onion. Easy to clean, just pop it in the dishwasher(not the motor of course).

3 cup size (24 oz) is an excellent alternative to the much larger food processors. Smaller size means MUCH easier to clean by hand — and yes it’s dishwasher safe. Clever 2-button system of “chop” vs “grind” is implemented by a blade which has two cutting edges on opposite sides, so it spins clockwise to chop and counter-clockwise to grind. The two end up being different. Ever have the problem where you start something like basil chopping, and the bottom half of the leaves gets all chopped but the top half doesn’t get chopped at all? I was pleased to discover that if you alternate pushing the “chop” and “grind” buttons, that solves that problem! The “grind” button actually pulls the top half down so you can “chop” it. Note that if you want to continually chop, or grind, you need to hold the button down. There’s no “keep chopping” function like the older mini Cuisinart choppers had. Frankly, I don’t think that feature is worth it at all, and after using this chopper, I don’t miss it. It is no problem to just hold your finger on the button for 10 seconds. And it’s just as easy as before to pulse it. The only (mild) negative I found is that it is more finicky than I expected in locking the bowl onto the machine before it will turn on. You have to put the bowl down with the handle pointing just precisely so (about 7:00 position), then turn it to the 6:00 position, with more precision than previous models, and no clear mark or indicator to guide you. But after a few moments of struggling, you’ll figure it out. Overall, this was a very worthwhile purchase. I recommend.

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

Excellent machine. I thought these were all the same - they’re not.

NOT FOR THE EU COMES WITH A US PLUG!!! I can smell the engine when I run it even when using an adaptor. I think the wattage is too high for the EU. Also can’t put the barrel in the dishwasher or food gets stuck in side the handle and it has a special type of screw to unscrew it so I can’t get it clean. Don’t buy.

Hermoso color rosa, y cumple con todas mis expectativas muy útil y deja todo muy bien picado y molido si así lo prefieres. 5 estrellas 🌟

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