 Best Value - Well made |

The quality is amazing. Easy to use, easy to clean. This was my first Processor and I'm hooked. I use it almost every day and it's so small (or "compact") that it takes up very little counter-top space.
For the price, it's a great value. The only drawback is that I love it so much, I'm already thinking about buying one of Cuisinart's larger models that does even more stuff.
It comes with the one multipurpose blade (which does just about everything) and a separate slicing and shredding blade. The slicing and shredding blades work O.K. but not as great as on larger models I've seen - so I use the multi-purpose blade 90% percent of the time.
I wish they sold additional blades for this model but I haven't seen them. (That would probably take away from sales of the bigger models).
But I still love it. And give it my highest rating. |
The Neatest Little Machine Ever

| The bowl and drive-post sleeve of my 26-year-old Cuisinart food processor have finally developed cracks so I started looking for a new one. Since I no longer need a full-size processor, I decided to try the DFP-3 Handy Prep. It arrived just a few days after my order was placed with Amazon and I am delighted with it. It's sturdy, heavy base fits into a small space on the countertop and it chops and shreds as efficiently as the full-size machine for a fraction of the price. I love it. |
as good as the original

I recently purchased this mini food processor to replace a 25 year old "Cuisinart Pro" that gave up the ghost after some serious use. While, I don't know if this one will last another 25 years it does look like a smaller version of my original. The design and manufacturing seems identical and the results are the same regardless of capacity. If I remember correctly the "Pro" cost over $200; more than four times the current price of the smaller model.
I just want to add a note of advice to would be buyers of this appliance or any other food processor....What these things do well is puree ingredients into sauce bases, tapenades, soups, salsas and the like. Don't buy one expecting to throw away the paring or chef knives. If you are preparing large quantities of sliced vegetables you're better off with a mandolin or a good set of knives. I've always found the attachments to be generally more trouble than they're worth. But for a small preparation of the aforementioned foods, I don't think you can beat the Cusinart Handy Prep. |
Love this little guy!

| I recently purchased this mini Cuisinart at Linens N Things on special, and I gotta say it's more than pulling its weight! I chop, blend, puree, shred, and grate, and I've even mixed pasta dough. I've used it at least three or four times a weeks since its purchase and it hasn't let me down. Cleaning cheese and dough out of the crevices in the lid is a little bit of a challenge sometimes, but if you have a toothpick or small cleaning brush, it's a minor hassle. I made chicken pot pie last night, and mixed the dough, shredded the chicken, and chopped the onions with this little bad boy. Defintely worth the price, especially for apartment dwellers like myself and my husband. I especially like that the machine won't start unless both the base and the lid are properly locked, so I know I'll be able to trust my daughter with it when she's old enough to help out in the kitchen. Love it! |
Fresh Salsa

| I got this Cuisinart processor for $29.95 plus free shipping last week here on Amazon.com. I just have to say, it is wonderful! My husband and I love homemade fresh salsa and with this machine we have it in seconds. Just a few quick pulses and you're there. Chops garlic very well. Easy clean up (top rack of dishwasher) and it isn't too bulky to store on the counter. I see myself using this machine often !! |
