Cuisinart DLC-2APK Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, 24 Ounce, Pink & Salad Spinner, White, SAS Large 5-Quart, CTG-00-SAS

I've had this mini processor for some time now and ... thumbs way up.This is one of the best investments I've ever made for my kitchen, and a bargain to boot. While I do have a full sized Cuisinart food processor with all the bells, whistles, blades and other gadgets, and I still use it for big jobs, it is heavy and cumbersome to clean after use. This little machine is perfect for small, quick jobs ... garlic cloves, ginger, spices, nut butters, a quick pesto, and the list never ends. It takes up almost no space in the cupboard and clean up is a breeze with only three parts (main container, blade and lid.) A lot of times I just throw in a cup of warm water, a squirt of Dawn and spin it, then rinse the parts individually.At such a great price, I highly endorse this little time saver. Not sure how I lived without one. I would buy again!!

Mighty and strong little machine. I have a bigger Cuisinart food processor that I bring out for bigger jobs. This one is as powerful. I use it for chopping many things like fresh ginger, nuts, herbs etc.

I have a big one at home expensive one, but I got this one to use it every day. It’s perfect then I got one for my aunt as well so it’s really nice.

I've now had this processor for about six months. I bought it specifically to grind bromine tablets into powder to use in the hot tub. It's done a pretty good job of that. It grinds and chops and pulverizes the tablets into a powder that works well in the hot tub. Recently, I've been leaving any excess powder in the processor until I need more. Unfortunately, the bromine has corroded the blade until it's almost useless. That is entirely my fault and not the fault of the processor. I should have known better. However, I'm only giving it one star because I just looked up the cost of replacing the blade. The cheapest I've found a DLC-2ABC blade is $20. That's almost as much as it cost me to purchase the entire processor less than a year ago. Be aware that it may be more cost effective to replace the entire processor than to replace parts on it.

Ordered this for my daughter as a gift she lives by herself and loves it uses it all the time for her smoothies and making salsa and pesto and different sauces

This morning, I was perusing the items I've purchased in the past month in an attempt to see what I could review that might help other customers. Wooden spoons: Check. Heart-shaped straws: Check. Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH! That item brought me up short; just seeing it listed nearly caused me to break down in tears, for the Lord has used it to literally revolutionize my life.I love to cook. I love to experiment, combine foods, use bay leaves where they've never been used before, and generally turn the sense of taste into an adventure. However, things have lately been complicated by the fact that I have developed autonomic dysfunction, which has kept me on bed rest, and gastroparesis, which has altered what I can eat and especially the consistency at which I can eat it. Hummus, mashed potatoes, and soft, bite-sized pastas are fine, as are sauces. Bread, coarse vegetables, and any meal that incorporates too many elements are problematic. I could eat hummus, and I could eat rice, and I could even enjoy fetta, but a Mediterranean meal that incorporated all of these simultaneously would be too much for my insides at the moment. I love vegetables, but here again, they have made the consistency of my meals much too busy for one fragile gut and appetite. But I love adding twenty flavours to one casserole!--now what? For the longest time, we had a blender, but it was just that--a tall container for mixing and pouring smoothies and shakes. If you really only want to grind or chop half a cup of food, it's more trouble than it's worth to scrape your puree out of such a tall container. However, most of the food processors we looked at were either too costly or too technologically advanced for our old-school family, or both. UNTIL...My sister found this food processor. I would say it was wonderful for the price, but in reality, I'd be willing to spend up to $150 on something that has made my life this much easier. Its capacity is perfect--we never need to process more than three cups at a time--and this processor works better than any other electric kitchen appliance we've ever owned. Another reviewer noted rightly that it works quickly, so if you don't want a fine puree, you do want to watch it--that button means it when it says "GRIND!" However, the one other button, the control for chopping, is very affective in doing just that--coarse vegetables can be ours, if we so desire. Never again will I have to laboriously mince or chop onions by hand when I'm well--I'll let this processor do my teary, dirty work! So, not everything comes out purred unless you want it to. I recently asked a family member to process some dry ingredients to make a breadcrumb-type crust, with instructions that "it shouldn't be like powder--more like the consistency of dried oats." My loved-one and the food processor did a FINE job--pun intended! My family really appreciates how easy it is to scoop or pour the processed food, how easy the cup is to wash, and the basic design. We aren't a family who really enjoys touchscreens, digital readouts, and other technological advances that turn our appliances into computers--we didn't need any extras beyond grinding and chopping and, happily, this processor doesn't feature anything beyond that. As for me, I can't say enough about how much more beautiful eating has become once again. For close to a month, I put food into my body because I didn't want to take more drastic measures, but that was all it was--ingesting nutrients, no more. Now that I can grind veggies, herbs, certain meats, nuts, and virtually anything else into an appropriate consistency, food is the lively, joyful, enheartening experience it has always been. Nowadays, I typically keep a soft starch base, puree the rest, and-voila!--TASTY, non-bland, nutritious food. Broccoli, olives, mushrooms, whole garlic, and other edibles may not be at their premium this way, but at least I can eat them, whereas I was formerly stuck with plain hummus and mild pastas. What a difference! If you or a loved-one have a medical condition that makes a softer but not necessarily bland diet necessary, and if you're looking for a basic, easy product, this one may make you, too, cry when you pass it as you go about your day--right there, on the counter, waiting for you, just waiting to grind more delicion for someone in nutritional need...

I loved my kitchen aid, but it finally was getting too stiff - probably needed some internal lube but... So after reading the reviews, I got this one, and am delighted. Works well, great size, dishwasher safe.

Mainly bought it for the chopper aspect as our old one broke however it works well in all functionalities. The design is clean and modern and is easy to use as there are only a few buttons. Blade size is good, seems like it will be durable and useable for some time. It was also discounted compared to the other colors which was a plus given that it looks sleek and modern.
