Cuisinart DLC-2APK Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, 24 Ounce, Pink

This is an awesome chopper. It gets the chop job done without taking too much space like conventional ones. It was on sale on a very good price. It's easy to assemble storage capacity well it's small but it can chop smaller batches. It's pretty speedy for what I use it for better that the blender that I own.

I am surprised at how well this works considering how compact it is. Easy to store, doesnt need much room. Chops or grinds easily and quickly. Sturdy and easy to clean. Simple to use. Great value.

We had a mini food processor like this from KitchenAid we had for 10 + years and it worked great. It went caput and we replaced it with another KitchenAid but the set up was different (improved...not in my opinion). IF you didn't make just the right connections you had to empty and try again. Truly annoying and totally inefficient.So we searched for a replacement and found the Cuisinart and it does not disappoint. It works similar to the design of many years ago with one additional safety feature which is not an issue at all. LOVE it, I feel like I should stock up in case they change the design and they become useless.Pro's: Super easy to attach the cup, turn and lock in place. Center component and blade are all one piece so it is easy to clean and no parts to lose. Chop & Grind features, all I need and works for everything I needed this for. Does not take up much space. Large enough capacity to chop 1 bag of Costco Tenderloins (I do cook and cut them in half before placing them in this. Easy to clean.Con's: NONE, Absolutely not one thing we do not like about this convenient, handy kitchen appliance that does the job well and is easy to use.

This looks nice. I got a red one. Its all plastic except blade. Easy to clean. It does not seem as sturdy as my 20 yr old 1 cup. I replaced with this one bc the blade in old one is dull. Nothing is made heavy duty or long lasting anymore. This chopper works. Its larger than my 1.5 cup chopper but not able to handle 2 or 3 cups either. I haven't figured out how to make it chop evenly. You are supposed to pulse it rather than steadily holding chop or grind button. I chop carrots and other veggies. Onions, nuts. I can only do one cup at a time. If you think to chop a large amount at one time, forget it. This does chop. The blade is quite sharp. If you overfill, it will spill out. Again, getting it to chop evenly has eluded me. There are always larger pieces that get missed while the rest gets overly pulverized. I wld recommend hand washing it. I dont think the cup or lid wld survive the temp in dishwasher. I kept it bc I needed one with a sharp cutting blade. Im not a daily or big time cook. It suits me for now. I have other Cuisinart brand kitchen supplies. This is not their worst but, not their best either.

Absolutely love this little thing. Easy on and off. Chops, in just a few oulses. Sturdy. I bought the pink, I don’t understand why they change 10 bucks more for color. I know this supports breadt cancer so I have zero problem with that. If you don’t have a big family this is the perfect size for my family of 3.

Love this thing! I bought one from the grocery store just to make salad dressing but I put it in the dishwasher and it melted. Obviously, dishwasher safe the became an important feature. I was not looking for a chopper that could man handle onions but it does that too! It's tiny and sharp and effective and I love it!

This is perfection at a reasonable price.Its small size is perfect for everyday, as well as holiday prep. It is easy to use, lightweight and looks nice. It even includes a mini spatula for emptying ingredients. Love, love, love!

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...
