Product Description

The Mini-Prep® Plus 24 Ounce Processor is the perfect little helper for small food preparation, from chopping herbs to finely grinding hard cheese. Its versatility lies in the special Auto Reversing Smart Blade™ making the Mini-Prep® versatile, and it is easier to process both soft and hard foods in the 24 ounce work bowl.

This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred Brack

I've used this product for over 10 years, ought this to replace my older one, which I burnt out overworking it. This new model is as good and reliable as the one I had, excellent for pulverizing nuts, vegetables, and fruits fast, easy to clean, and takes up little space for storage.

Superior to the 11-cup Cuisinart counterpart in speed when making cashew butter, this little machine can finish the job in about one-fourth the time it takes the bigger one to do twice the amount. Not as powerful or fast as the Vitamin, but a LOT easier to clean.

Bottom line, unbeatable for small jobs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different from large Cuisinarts
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022
Color: Metalic RedDesign: ProcessorVerified Purchase
This little gem is better than the large ones in many respects. I was hesitant to buy it because of the problems I have with the large models, but this operates very differently.
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little food processor
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2014
Color: Stainless SteelDesign: ProcessorVerified Purchase
Update 4 years + 1 month later:

In the interest of full disclosure: As of a couple of weeks ago, the blade unit is cracked vertically as well as halfway around one of the blades. It's never been abused - dropped on the floor, banged on anything, exposed to excess heat, etc.. I think either it was cracked initially and I didn't/couldn't see the crack, or the corrosive nature of automatic dishwasher detergent has weakened it. It still works, but I'm reluctant to use it because any kind of cracked food utensil can never be guaranteed to be sanitary.

Four years is a fairly long life span in these days of built-in obsolescence. Ten dollars per year (averaged) is not a horrendous amount to have spent on a product that served well. The cost to replace the broken blade unit is currently $27 + shipping, so I haven't decided whether to replace the part or the processor, or purchase a different brand. I did not buy the extended warranty on this item, but, even if I had, the longest coverage available is 4 years, which would have expired last month anyway. (Of course!) If I were to buy this specific processor again, I would add the longest possible warranty I could get, just in case.

My original review of my February 02, 2014 purchase:

I've used my Mini-Prep about 20 times, now, and am very pleased with it. For such things as rough-chopping vegetables for soup, making dip or sandwich fillings, or making cracker or bread crumbs, it is just fine, and that's all I wanted it for. I have had good and bad results with chopping Cheddar cheese. The cheese must be firm, not soft and sticky. Firm cheese will chop to a fine consistency that can be used instead of shredded cheese. Cheese that is softer and sticky just turns to a kind of cheese dough. Now that I know that, it won't be a problem. I would probably not try to chop a cheese like Monterrey Jack or Havarti, and certainly not Velveeta (if you can call that "cheese"). Fresh Parmesan can be chopped very finely and stored in the freezer.

One thing I like about the reversing blade action is that, if the food gets a bit jammed up around the blades on one setting, you can pulse the other setting a time or 2 and it will change directions, usually breaking up the jam, then you can go back to your original mode. It saves a lot of the business of removing the lid and rearranging the food that you often have with other small choppers or processors.

I like the way the blade unit is designed. It's very easy to get hold of it and remove it, even when the food is something that is heavy and wants to cling to it. The blade, bowl, and lid can all go in the dishwasher.

The special spatula that comes with the processor is not impressive. It's flimsy and the handle is too short. I also wish the base were a bit heavier. Having it very light is nice for moving it around, but it also makes it more difficult to put the bowl on and lock it, or unlock it and remove it, with your one clean hand (assuming your other hand has been handling messy food), because the force (not much, really) needed to remove the lid and bowl will turn the base before it turns the bowl. With a little practice, it's OK.

To those who have complained in their reviews about liquids leaking out, if you are trying to process something that liquid, and that much of it, you should be using a blender. Liquids are not what food processors were designed to do. To those who complained about not being able to fill up the bowl, you should find that almost any food processor is the same in that regard. To work, it needs space above the food so the food can be tossed up and drop down on the blades as it processes. If the bowl is too full, the blades can only keep processing the food that's around them, and the top food does not drop down. If you want to be able to process 4 cups of food at once, you should get a processor with an 8-cup bowl. If some pieces of what you are chopping are small and some large, you are 1) starting out with pieces that are too large - cut them smaller, and/or 2) filling the bowl too full in the first place. Sometimes less is more.

To the person who complained that they thought the base was stainless steel but it's not, they are right, it's not. "Brushed Stainless" is the color name. If you must have a food processor with an actual stainless steel base, this isn't it. Cuisinart makes another model, which is almost identical, that comes in colors.

This seems to be a good product overall. I would buy it 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.

This is not suitable in our family . To operate this a additional requirement is required which I don't want to buy.

Works great, kind of loud, but very useful.
