Cuisinart Mini PREP Food Processor Custom, 2.63 Cup, Silver

My wife purchased the 11 cup version after returning a processor bought from another store. That food processor was noisy and had so many parts to clean (5 including a gasket). This food processor is sturdy, quiet, powerful and easy to clean. It has a nifty additional cover that is not so tall and can be used for everything you make except when using the slicer blades which makes it very compact to store in tight spaces. The price was excellent at the time she purchased it $129.99.

This thing.....it's my best friend. Hands down, no joke, I'm in love. I don't use it everyday, and sometimes not for a week or so, but when I need it, it's there. And it never fails, as soon as I use it for something I'm looking around the kitchen to see what else I can slice/chop/shred, because it's fun to use and mind-glowingly simple. I'm upset with myself for waiting so long to buy this. It is the most expensive thing I've ever bought for my kitchen (appliances not included), and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The only thing is it's too tall to fit on my counter, beneath the upper cabinets. If you're a tad OCD about your countertops being clutter-free like I am, this will only bother you for all of 5 minutes until you use it. It now has a place of honor on my peninsula because 1) it's too heavy to move around all the time, and 2) it deserves it.I came up with a list of reasons that justify the expense, because I'm cheap and had to convince myself to buy this, and since having it I have added to the list exponentially. If you're a penny-pincher like I am and are fighting with yourself, please use the following reasons to make your culinary life easier.You can use it to "grind" meat, thus saving grocery money. You'll no longer fight with uneven tomato/onion/potato slices. Kids (and kitchen-disaster spouses) can operate it without issue- as long as they're competent enough to not cut themselves. Safety features- there's no way you're getting a body part anywhere near those blades while they're running, just use common sense when handling them. It's dishwasher safe, but also insanely easy to hand-wash (no crevices for food to hide in). Homemade salsa, spaghetti sauce, salsa verde, and 100 other things are stupid easy to whip up with this doing all the work. The shredder attachment will save your knuckles from the box shredder of doom. It'll last you practically forever, and will make you want to try foods you've never made before, just because you can.Buy it, love it, chop everything in sight.

small and mighty. Does a great job for small items. Love that it is small and powerful. Great price. Last one just like this one lasted 15 years. So happy I found one just the same.

14-Cup Cuisinart Food ProcessorMy wife and I absolutely love this 14-Cup Cuisinart Food Processor. We have been improving our cooking and this 14-Cup Cuisinart Food Processor. We chose it because it was recommended by Cooks Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen, who we really trust and rely on for information and recommendations.We have used this 14-Cup Cuisinart Food Processor to slice, chop and puree and it works like a charm, making quick work of anything and everything we put into it. It has several safety features to keep it from running unless the bowl and lid are properly attached. If you don’t attach both the bowl and lid it will not operate.The blades are sharp and easy to clean. There are two different sized feed chutes/plungers and 2 slicing disks along with the cutting blade. The pluse switch is very responsive and works great.This 14-Cup Cuisinart Food Processor is something needed in every kitchen and is excellent.

I’ve been using my 7-Cup Pro Classic regularly—at least three dozen times since purchasing it in late February 2025—and it continues to meet my food processing needs. I prepare whole week meals for 1-2 people, and bake 2-3 times per week.The wattage, work bowl size, and functions are well-suited for my kitchen, a galley-style space in a 600 sq. ft. NYC apartment. It’s reliable, easy to clean, holds power when fully loaded, and is intuitive to operate. Based on performance, I’m giving it four stars. Why Four Stars?A few limitations keep it from being perfect:1. Dishwasher Concerns – I hand wash the work bowl and lid because many reviews report heat warping in the dishwasher. While I don’t mind handwashing, this could be a drawback for frequent users. I will not be dishwashing any components aside from the stainless blade.2. Durability of Plastic – This is my first personal food processor, but I grew up using a 14-Cup Professional Classic. The older model’s work bowl felt thicker and more durable (on the order of 1 to 2 millimeters thicker), while the 7-Cup Classic’s plastic seems more brittle and prone to cracking. I handle it carefully, but I have prepared myself for the bowl and/or lid to crack from normal use, and well before the motor gives out. Extending bowl thickness, as well as introducing a metal mechanism for the base safety lock, could significantly improve parts longevity.ConclusionDespite these minor issues, I strongly recommend the 7-Cup Pro Classic. I chose it over the KitchenAid 7- and 9-Cup processors (reported quality and lid/bowl locking design issues) and the Cuisinart Core Custom 10-Cup (concerns over its plastic clutch/drive system and noise). This model strikes a great balance of performance and size, making it a solid choice.

handles chopping, shredding, and kneading effortlessly. A must-have kitchen powerhouse!
