More from this brandAll Cuisinart food processorsOverview
An auto-reversing stainless steel blade does the work in this compact processor, driven from touchpad controls. The container and lid come with a chopping blade, and the bowl is sized for small jobs.
Small jobs are the point, with chopping and grinding handled in a bowl that goes in the dishwasher. The limit is capacity, since the bowl is small, and no slicing or shredding discs are listed.
Who it's for
One or two people who prep small amounts, or want a second small processor beside a full-size one, suit this size. Cooks who prep for crowds or want a set of discs should look at a larger processor.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel blade
- Compact for small jobs
- Small three cup bowl
- No slicing or shredding discs listed
- Voltage entry looks unreliable
- Warranty terms not listed
Performance notes
Chopping and grinding results depend on blade speed and how full the bowl is, and a small bowl gives the blade less food to move. The auto-reversing blade changes direction during a run, and the touchpad starts and stops it.
