Cuisinart DLC2 Mini Prep Plus

Pros: Small

Cons: Doesn't make uniform pieces, still to dirty knife and a cutting board

The Bottom Line: Skip it. This processor does not do the job any better than a knife and gives you more to clean.

Review: I received the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor as Christmas gift. No, not from my husband. And yes, I did ask for it. I was excited to find jobs for it to do. Once I did, I was not impressed and this small chopper. It soon...

Pros: It is small and does a good job of grinding and chopping food

Cons: None at this point.

Review: I bought mine a few years ago at Sears. I mostly use it for grating blocks of Parmesan cheese to put up in the freezer but have used it to chop vegetables like onions and carrots and also to make bread crumbs for recipies. It is easy to disassemble...

Pros: Small footprint, reasonable price, lasted several years

Cons: Noisy, limited power/precision

Review: My mini-prep plus wore out today after about 5 years of use...I'd say that I got my money's worth although I plan to upgrade when I replace it. This would be a great starter for a student setting up their first kitchen or someone with very limited...

Pros: Great little kitchen tool for a live-alone guy!

Cons: Removing food requires care to avoid allowing food bits to spill out the center shaft.

The Bottom Line: The machine offers me the satisfaction of making various dishes simply and has inspired me to become more creative in the kitchen. Love it!

Review: This review is for the Cuisinart DLC-2A Mini Prep Plus (Food) Processor.


I admit, I'm NOT an expert!

I'm a bachelor who has been, for much of my adult life, eating in great restaurants throughout the world. That...

Pros: Easy to use and clean.

Cons: None!

The Bottom Line: Nice little handy gadget for the kitchen, small enough to keep in the pantry but big enough to get the job done.

Review: I got this Cuisinart Mini Prep Food Processor as a baby shower gift. I use it just about once a week when I prepare baby food for my 6 month old son. My routine is usually to steam all the veggies/fruit first, puree them using my handy mini food...

Pros: Size

Cons: Clean-up

Review: We received this as a wedding gift. It's a great size - perfect for making homemade salsa and salad dressings. I would like to caution others to keep the lid ON when removing the barrel part from the mechanical part - I ended up making a mess of the...

Pros: Just the right size, easy to clean

Cons: Noisy, noisy, noisy! Also, turned everything into a soup in a few seconds, too fast.

Review: I have owned a large Cuisinart and tiny Black and Decker food processor in the past. I was looking for something to puree baby food with. This is an attractive product but when I got it home and tried pureeing some pot roast with cooked potatoes and...

Pros: Size, convenience, ease of use and cleaning.

Cons: Plastic component around blade is cracking.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this appliance. Since it is easy to use and clean, I use it often, particularly for small tasks such as chopping one onion or mixing salad dressing.

Review: This is a very good small food processor, useful for tasks such as grinding nuts or breadcrumbs; chopping onions and garlic; blending salad dressings and mayonnaise. Other reviews have commented that when chopping, pieces are not uniform in size,...
