Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart MM-2M Mini Mate Chopper / Grinder
Customer Review: Makes purees very well, but hard to clean
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried two other small food processors, the KitchenAid Chef's Chopper and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus for making two to four servings of pesto, cilantro sauce etc, but pureeing these small amounts of ingredients in the approximately 3 cup work bowls was difficult because the blade throws the ingredients on the sides. Scraping the ingredients down several times helps but the finished product was still not smooth enough.
The MM-2M works much better for making these small amounts of sauces. You still have to scrape the ingredients down once or twice but the puree is much smoother. The blades turn much faster than the other two processors and there are also two speeds. You can reverse the blade holder to choose a blunt or sharp leading edge. The blunt edge works well for pureeing.
The unfortunate drawback to this processor is that the motor housing forms the top of the work bowl. As a result, quite a bit of the finished product ends up coating the end of the motor housing. If you are not extremely careful when cleaning the motor housing you will get water and perhaps food into it. If you're just chopping relatively dry ingredients like coffee or dry spices, this would not be so much of a problem.
Customer Review: Don't buy it!

My mini-mate died after being used a few times, and producing inconsistent results. I could not return it because I live in Santiago, Chile so I threw it away! I chose it because in 1981 I bought a DLC-8E which I love and have been using since then with no problems at all.Customer Review: Cuisinart brand delivers
Summary: 4 Stars
Two blade system works much better than previously owned one blade item. A little larger capacity for chopping raw veggies would have been preferred, but perfect for mincing cooked meat and veg/fruit for anyone without good chewing capabilities. Very pleased by performance and price.Customer Review: The Mini Mate is Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a mini mate for 12 years and have loved it! I have not been able to find one and I'm so thrilled to see it here! I will order one!Customer Review: Quick, easy and efficient
Summary: 4 Stars
This little chopper is a gem. It requires no counter space and minimal storage space. For chopping small quantities--onions, celery, nuts, etc. it is the quickest to use and easiest to clean. For a cup of bread crumbs or less it permits you to complet the job in minutes. As a compliment to a full food processor, this little machine is the best.
