DLC-4CHB Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Stainless Steel

This is a must have tool in our kitchen , the first one lasted 15 years or more and is still going strong , the blade housing has developed a crack and that makes it no longer food safe the replacement blade was almost as much as the new one so we just replaced the entire machine ! MUST HAVE MACHINE EXCELLENT VALUE !

Traded up from a little electric chopper to this Cuisinart. It works amazing, and is easy to clean up. Everything can go in the dishwasher too. After having a mini chopper which you could not fit an entire large onion in, this 3 cup capacity makes the job so much easier. The little scrapper/spatula that came with it make scrapping out all the pieces a snap because it is the perfect size. Some of the reviews gave it a low rating because of it did not do what they expected. My comment is: This is a mini food processor, not to be used for items that require a lot of power. Never use any food processor for mash potatoes some people need to learn to cook and read directions. This little guy is great for chopping onions, nuts, mixing things that do not require a very heavy, sticky consistency that causes strain on the motor and cause it to burn out. That's why they make full size food processors that have much stronger motors. I use it for prepping everything, celery & carrots dicing, onions & garlic. Remember this is a chop or grind button. If you want larger pieces be sure to pulse, Do not hold the button down. For the price of this handy gadget it can't be beat.

We didn't really want to own (and store) another kitchen appliance. Years ago we'd been given a full size food processor and never used it, ended up giving it away. We finally decided we needed to get one because we love hummus and it is so much cheaper to make than buy, and the blender just wasn't the tool for the job. Searching for small processors, the Cuisinart stood out for the number of high ratings of it. I looked at the smaller ones, but caught a comment along the lines of "you can't really use more than half the volume". While it looks like you can fit a lot in the processing chamber, and they call it 4 Cup capacity, the blade sits over an opening that is about half the total height, so if you've got a lot of liquid it is going to flow right through and out the bottom of the chamber. This is the biggest food processor we would want to store, and it turned out to be the perfect size for us. The brushed stainless plastic housing looks fine, I'd rather not pay for real stainless steel for a product that is kept behind a cabinet door. It was packed well, and came with a small plastic spatula which at first looked like a throw away item but turns out to be just the right size and shape to get nearly all the processed food out of the chamber. Not having used other food processors, I can't compare this one's functions to others. I'd imagine that a full size model with a more powerful motor could do more, but for us this is a good compromise. The first batch of hummus (the users' manual included a recipe for hummus which varied from my usual one, so I gave it a try and it is good) was all it took to confirm we had made a good choice buying this. It's fast, easy to use, does a great job and is easy to clean, and stores in a small space. I've used it half a dozen times now, and can see already that I'll be trying it out on other things- pesto, tapenade, guacamole . . . Bottom line is that I'm very happy with the way it looks, the way it works, the ease of use, and the reasonable price. If you want to make soups or process big batches of food consider a bigger model, but if your needs are like ours, this is a good choice. May 18, 2013 Now that we've had it and used it many times, I've got two things to add: the recipes in the users manual are good, and the processor is very noisy in use. I use a lot of power tools and I wear hearing protection when I use them. This kitchen tool seems to be as loud as my belt sander, and that is loud.

Es un buen procesador prácticamente para raciones para 2 personas, muy fácil de usar, uno presiona los botones el tiempo necesario para dejar el picado o batido de los alimentos según nuestras necesidades. Muy satisfecho
