Perfect little chopper

The size is just perfect for making salsa or chopping ingredients for larger recipes. It has just enough power to be effective without turning everything to mush before you can get it turned off like my larger professional food processor will do if you're not careful. It looks very classy too - I bought the stainless.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store, Functional/Useful

I have a large cuisinart food processor and while i love it, i needed something smaller for cutting onions because they make me cry and i cut them daily. This 4 cup is ideal for that purpose. It is quick, has a pulse and a grind. There are two small holes in the top that make this ideal for making salad dressings or mayonnaise. It has a strong motor and takes up very little cupboard space. Ideal for small spaces like mine.

I got this as a Christmas gift and have used it for several receipes. Makes great hummus, pesto, tapenade, and I even make my own bread crumbs now. Works well for chopping vegetables, pureeing, etc. The great thing about the mini-chopper is that it is small enough to store under the countertop but large enough to handle a good (4 cups) capacity of food. And it is easy to clean. Highly recommended!

This 4 cup capacity food processor has the power of the larger models, but the smaller capacity is perfect for daily use. It will blast through onions, celery and carrots in seconds; perfect for quick evening meals. Clean-up is as easy as a quick rinse and dry.

I am so delighted with the Cuisinart food chopper/grinder. It performed beyond my expectations. With only 3 quick pulses on chop, an onion was reduced to even pieces, no oversized, all uniform. And, fresh bread crumbs were a snap. This new chopper is relegated to the counter top, instead of inside a cabinet.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Functional/Useful, uniform vegetable pieces

I have the large food processor,but it is unhandy for small jobs. So I purchased this small one for small quick jobs and I'm very happy with it. I would recomend this to any one who just does a small amount of products

I fell in love with the this food processor as soon as I took it out of the box. However, beyond its attractive appearance, it's the perfect size for medium tasks. My last high-end mini-food processor was smaller and not quite as useful or powerful as this one. My Cuisinart doubly pleased me with the surprising strength of the motor, ease in using and in cleaning it. It chops and grinds perfectly. I keep looking for new recipes that require a food processor, just so I can use my Cuisinart food processor! It's always a thrill!

This little chopper is a fun little addition to food prep. It is very fast and chops efficiently. I can control the size of the chop easily. It cleans up in a flash, and the way the blades are designed makes for an easy removal without incident. It stores in one piece which makes it very space-convenient. The noise it makes is a little loud but it does the job so quickly, (just a couple of quick pulses, really) I don't find it to be a problem.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Performs Well, easy to store

This chopper/grinder is terrific for 3-4 person servings of pesto or other similar types of flavorings/marinades/dips/etc.
It is quite powerful/fast, for its relatively small size.
My only request for improvement, is that more recipes be made available for this smaller size (4-cup) processor. The Cuisinart website has no recipes for this 4-cup processor; all of the recipes on the Cuisinart website are for larger food processors.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Low noise, multi-purpose, easy to store, capacity
Cons: lack of recipes to fit this smaller food processor

What we like about this product is its small size without any compromises. Doesn't take up much space so it gets left out on the countertop. Really, there is not much call for a larger model. Reasonably priced, and seems quite durable.
