Cuisinart Meals Processor, Mini-Prep 3 Cup, 24 oz, Brushed Chrome and Nickel, DLC-2ABC

It’s great and it’s pink!!
Had something similar from another expensive company when I saw this one. Absolutely great little product. Easy to use, easy to clean, wanted a small chopper to handle small amounts of chopping and this is it! Slips right into the cupboard and out of sight when not in use; love it. Plus, it’s pink and at a fraction of the cost!

Excellent Compact Food Processor – 3 cup size perfect for our 2 cup use
Exactly what I was looking for! Needed a small compact food processor for small uses. For example salad dressing that calls for 2 cups of liquid + herbs. I premix in a 3 cup measuring first. Then pour into the processor. Drop in 1 large avocado that has been cut and mashes so it mixes without large chunks. Then press the button and release to pulse and reverse blade direction. Quick and convenient and do much easier than using our large food processor. We have always had good luck with Cuisinart products and this one is no exception. Well made, safety features and so easy to clean in sink with just water. Only problem I ran into was chopping cauliflower. I precut into very small pieces first. Dropped in and used chop. Did great, except since cauliflower tends to be sticky starch, I used the provided small scraper to rotate bottom chopped to top and press ones that did not chop down to bottom. The sticky cauliflower stuck to the sides and left open area above the blades. 1 more blade towards top like other brands would solve that one problem. Otherwise, a great product for small uses. Also tried the grind mode for small bowl of walnuts. Chop size is controlled by pressing releasing grind button. Same for other mode,

Great little food processor!
I’ve had a large, heavy 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for years, which I love and have used for everything from making bread dough to shredding cheese, pureeing soups or other blender-type tasks, dicing vegetables, and even making nut butters, oat flour, and more. But it’s so large and heavy and was a pain to get out for small things, plus the large work bowl wasn’t well suited for some of these smaller tasks, either.So, I finally decided to get one of these. It’s great! It’s lightweight, easy to get out or put away, and is very convenient for small tasks. In my case, I often use it to make just a cup of oat flour or to “blend” blueberries and bananas into plain yogurt as an easy breakfast. It’s so convenient I’ve used it almost every day for the last month (since I got it), unlike my large model that I only got out if I really thought the effort was worth it. It’s also fairly easy to clean. The manual says all removable parts ares dishwasher safe, but I’ve mostly been hand washing to make sure it’s ready for the next day (but the dishwasher has also worked).There are some disadvantages, one obvious: it’s quite small, so it’s not suitable for larger jobs (or heavier–the motor says 250 W; my large one is 720 W). Even with a 4-cup bowl, I can’t imagine making much more than 1 cup of oat flour or similar dry ingredients before it gets to be too much. But that’s perfect for me — it’s actually better than my large one for this small of an amount. It’s also quite loud. I got ear plugs to wear while using it, which I know sounds excessive but really seems like a good idea with this unit.Other disadvantages include a non-waterproof lid (or really anything-proof): there are two small holes in the top, apparently by design. This mostly isn’t a problem unless it’s probably too full — again, you won’t really get a full 4 cups — and the contents are watery; in actual use, this has rarely come up for me. Also, replacement parts practically cost more than the unit itself, which I discovered after I considered buying another bowl, lid, and blade (to worry about washing less) since I’m using mine almost every day. Some may also not like that the unit is gray but is actually plastic instead of stainless steel, though I don’t personally mind.All things considered, this is a great unit as long as you’re aware of the capacity and power–but it works well for its size! If you’re like me and want an alternative to your larger food processor, I’d consider this one (but if you’re looking for mostly larger jobs, probably start with one of those instead).

NOT FOR THE EU COMES WITH A US PLUG!!!I can smell the engine when I run it even when using an adaptor. I think the wattage is too high for the EU. Also can’t put the barrel in the dishwasher or food gets stuck in side the handle and it has a special type of screw to unscrew it so I can’t get it clean. Don’t buy.
