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.
I have been using and partly hating Cuisinart for 30 years. The large models leak through the central stem; they need to be scraped down frequently during operation, they are difficult to clean, as some parts collect food and cannot be flushed out, and the plastic tabs break eventually. I do not subject the parts to harsh dishwasher conditions and have a score of special brushes to clean the parts.
This small processor is actually more powerful in some regards because it operates differently, which is poorly explained by the manufacturer. The two buttons "chop" and "grind" are named so that they give you no idea of how they are different. Operating it clarifies everything. One works clockwise and the other anti-clockwise, presenting a different blade surface, elevation and angle. Alternating between the two shifts the bowl contents back to the blade, sort of. And here is my main disappointment: it doesn't puree small amounts. I put in two stems of steamed broccoli with hopes of creaming it. It chops everything into tiny bits and sprays them all over the entire bowl, the underside of the lid, the sides. I scraped the bowl down to put everything on the bottom again and the blades just blew everything back without making the particles smaller. I added water and it splattered around into a chopped mess with water, but it was impossible to make it puree.
Cleaning is really a snap. Immediately run the three pieces (lid, bowl, blade) under water and that's it. If there is grease in the bowl, use soapy water, but it hasn't needed scrubbing yet.
It was able to handle something my large Cuisinart couldn't: making bone meal. This small unit minced bones into bone meal in a flash. My large Cuisinart got stuck every 4-5 seconds when it wedged a bone between the blade and the bowl.
Having both sizes is a great advantage. I need to process small amounts of fresh vegetables and fruits to add to every meal for my dog. I have tried several manual mills, juicers, presses, ricers, grates, and have settled on this Cuisinart as the most effective processor. Being the easiest to clean, the least expensive and no problem to add to a crowded kitchen makes it a great solution.
I just wish it worked more like a blender, being able to pull the bowl contents back for reprocessing instead of splattering them. I will not use the ninja pulse smoothie blenders because they have gasket issues that harbor mold and break down. Until someone designs something better, this Cuisinart is probably my best option.
This small unit wirks just fine for chopping down pasta, chicken nuggets, soups, etc.
It's easy to clean and after few tries I've found sweet spot for textures. Not too fine not too big. Yep, this unit is a game changer for anyone who's chopper challenged.
My only concern is the loose ness of the plastic handle. I hope it doesn't break
This is way better for daily use than my regular sized blender and cuz of small footprint I can leave on counter.
I recommend and would purchase again.

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.
