Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Mini-Prep Processor
Customer Review: Not Pleased with the Performance
Summary: 2 Stars
I have not been happy with this product. In fact, I am considering returning it or selling it in a yard sale. It does not chop the vegetables (onions, peppers, etc.) in a consistent way. It either makes puree out of them or leaves large chunks that must be chopped up by hand. I have another little mini processor that is cheaper than this one, and it works a lot better. I bought this one because of the Cuisinart name, and I have been really disappointed.Customer Review: Uncomplicated, exactly as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife wanted this for very simple tasks in her Thai restaurant. She opened the box, wiped/washed the vessel clean, dumped in some garlic and fresh chilis, and hit Play. It worked like a charm, and is still doing it a month later, heavy-duty, even though it is not specifically rated for such commercial work. It is precisely what she wanted, and does exactly the task it says it does. There are no drawbacks, actually, but I give 4 out of 5 because - be careful washing this little baby, the blades (surprise!) are sharp.
Customer Review: Good, decent mini prep processor.

I'd recommend to buy this one. This one chops very good specially garlics, onions, etc. It lasts long too. Our previous last about 6-7 years.Customer Review: Does most of the jobs of a larger unit except for slicing
Summary: 5 Stars
If you mainly use a food processor, or WANT to use a food processor for blending, chopping and pureeing foods, the Mini-Prep is such a good idea. It does about 80 percent of what a large food processor does, and it's easier to clean and takes up less space.
If you find you typically chop herbs, make pesto and blended sauces, herb butters and the like and do NOT use the food processor for batters, doughs and slicing, you might consider the Mini-Prep. The motor is very strong, the blade very sharp. I made a fresh tomato coulis out of tomato, dried tomato, oil and herbs in seconds and it had the right texture (chopped but not liquified.)
One thing I hate about large food processors is scraping small amounts of chopped herbs or nuts out of the large bowl. If your typical job, like mine, is chopping small items in smaller quantities, this is perfect. It takes up a lot less space on the counter, too.
The unit comes in steel color and white. Before you buy a food processor, consider what you typically process. If you do coffee, smoothies, pesto, chopped herbs and nuts and salsa, this may just be enough, saving you dollars and space.
Customer Review: Gets the job done
Summary: 5 Stars
This little thing is awesome! I have had mine for 2 years and it never fails me. If you want to chop things like peppers, onion, garlic...or make a small batch of homemade salsa, this gadget is the one to do the job. I have the large food processor I use for the big jobs, but 9 times out of 10, this is all I need. It works great for combining spices to use as rubs on your poultry, beef, etc. Anything to save a little time in the kitchen. Great performance!
