Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor

Great food processor for making homemade babyfood

Strengths: small enough for daily use, does not take up too much counter space. It is very powerful, regardless of its size.

Weakness: lacks a shredder blade, for grating carrots ect.

This is excellent for homemade babyfood and smoothies on the go! I can steam up fresh fruits and veggies in the microwave oven, and then blend them up in this food processor. the small size is ideal for daily use. Washing it is easy. Be careful of the blade, it is very sharp. Sometimes I can use it to chop up things for dinner quickly too. Takes little space on the counter top. Too bad it lacks a...

Too bad it lacks a shredder blade, which would make this product IDEAL for making salads and everything else!

Great food processor- Cuisinart

Strengths: -doesn't take up too much counter space -great performance- very handy and useful -contemporary styling -easy cleanup -easy assembly- very intuitive

Weakness: -3 cup size-plenty for me but be aware that it isn't full size

I was a little weary about the small size, but I wanted something I could keep on my counter for easy access and not end up in the basement. It is working out great! It has been a perfect size for everything I've made so far. The performance as far as chopping up things is fantastic- there's a reason why Cuisinart is the top brand for this type of appliance.

I was a little weary about the small size, but I wanted something I could keep on my counter for easy access and not end up in the basement. It is working out great! It has been a perfect size for everything I've made so far. The performance as far as chopping up things is fantastic- there's a reason why Cuisinart is the top brand for this type of appliance. This is a great way to get a great brand at an affordable price. Someday maybe I'll step up to the bigger one, but I don't really need it right now- this size is perfect. I've worked with other food processors in the past that getting all the pieces in the right place to get it to actually run has been an issue-- this one was super easy and started as soon as I pressed the button every time. There aren't a lot of parts so you don't have to worry about little pieces or losing anything. It comes with a small spatula that is really great- I've found it really handy. I was making do by either chopping up stuff by hand or using my blender, but it was always annoying and very time consuming. It is worth every penny and I regret I waited this long to make this purchase. Now it seems so obvious that this what I've needed in my kitchen for years.

Strengths: size

Weakness: none so far

I bought this as a gift for my wife to go along with a 14 cup metal cuisinart food processor. It was nice because it goes well with the larger processor but has the smaller size for the times when you just dont need a lot of things chopped up.

Compact but powerful mini food processor

Strengths: Small size

Weakness: None

I bought this mini food processor to compliment the Black and Decker 10 cup food processor that I already have. It is for small jobs like cutting onions or chopping nuts. It is a little bit more pricey, but I am surprised at how powerful it is compared to its size. Another strength is that it is small enough to fit on the counter or inside the cabinet when it is not in use. It is another quality...

Excellent for small quantities

Strengths: small and powerful

Weakness: quality

First a note about the quality. This is our 3rd unit in about 5 years. The motor in the first unit burned out just in a few weeks, so I got it replaced under the warranty. The second unit worked well for a couple of years and the blade suddenly broke. I got a new blade on Amazon and that worked fine for another couple of years and recently it broke the same way. Instead of paying another $16+ for...

The second unit worked well for a couple of years and the blade suddenly broke. I got a new blade on Amazon and that worked fine for another couple of years and recently it broke the same way. Instead of paying another $16+ for a blade, we decided to get a new one in costco as they are selling these now for $25 (also the plastic bowl on the old one started to crack anyway). My main gripe is on the blade quality especially that we use it mainly for vegetables (no meat, no ice, no hard stuff).

The new model is slightly different from that of 5yr old. The blade is angular instead of flat, probably to give better results. It also seems to be better built. My wife uses this to chop a lot of vegetables such as carrots, beets, tomatoes, onions etc. and make Indian chutneys and she is very happy with it.
