Mini Food Processor, Reversible Blade, 3-Cup Capacity | Mini electric food chopper chops herbs, vegetables & cheese, dishwasher-safe work bowl & lid, DLC-2ABC

At first opening the box, this seemed a little fragile. Then, I tried to chop up around 2 cups of cubed, cooked beef. Within two seconds (literally), this mini processor had completely ground up the beef into small hamburger pieces. Then I tried some onion and some carrots. Same experience. I am very impressed. It works so efficiently, the plastic bowl is quite sufficient to contain the food products. It is easy to clean and takes up little space in the kitchen. It’s not designed to handle the local rugby crowd, but for 2 or three people, it is terrific. I’m not sure about longevity, but if it works this well for a year, it is worth the money.

Works perfectly! It's very easy to use. I like it for chopping vegetables. The only con for me was the red color I ordered did not match the other red appliances in my kitchen, however that's just cosmetic. It does what I need it to do.

This little food processor has been a huge time-saver in my kitchen. Don’t let the size fool you—it has plenty of power to quickly chop onions, garlic, herbs, nuts, and make sauces or dips in just seconds. The 3-cup size is perfect for everyday cooking without taking up much counter or cabinet space. It’s very easy to assemble, use, and clean. The bowl and blade wash up quickly, and I appreciate that it doesn’t have a lot of complicated parts. The motor is powerful, and it produces consistent results every time. If you don’t need a large food processor, this is the perfect size for small families or everyday meal prep. It’s well made, reliable, and definitely worth the investment. I use mine all the time and would buy it again.

This is a good little food processor. It took me a while to pick one, especially because there are so many out there. Here are my lists of pros and cons after having this little guy for months: PROS: It is light-weight and easy to store as it pretty small, it is easy to clean, grinds up stuff really fast (it is a powerful little machine), and it is perfect size for a bit of hummus, or grinding up beans or nuts for a recipe. CONS: It is SO loud - every time I use it I feel like I need to wear earplugs. This is my first ever food-processor, so noise may be typical. I was just surprised by how piercingly sharp the grinding sound was. Also, It is almost impossible to emulsify anything unless the liquid I'm pouring in is the consistency of water as that is all that will go through the tiny holes in the top. So if there is any thickness at all to the liquid using to emulsify, I either have to revert back to a blender or pour in a bit and blend and pour more then blend again. I wish the little area of the top with the holes was removable to do this. I make little batches of hummus and dressings, and it would be nice to have the ability to pour in consistently and slowly. Even with these cons, I will use and keep this little machine until it no longer works. It was worth the money, and as a "food-processor newbie" it was way easier to use than my blender.

3 cup size (24 oz) is an excellent alternative to the much larger food processors. Smaller size means MUCH easier to clean by hand — and yes it’s dishwasher safe. Clever 2-button system of “chop” vs “grind” is implemented by a blade which has two cutting edges on opposite sides, so it spins clockwise to chop and counter-clockwise to grind. The two end up being different. Ever have the problem where you start something like basil chopping, and the bottom half of the leaves gets all chopped but the top half doesn’t get chopped at all? I was pleased to discover that if you alternate pushing the “chop” and “grind” buttons, that solves that problem! The “grind” button actually pulls the top half down so you can “chop” it. Note that if you want to continually chop, or grind, you need to hold the button down. There’s no “keep chopping” function like the older mini Cuisinart choppers had. Frankly, I don’t think that feature is worth it at all, and after using this chopper, I don’t miss it. It is no problem to just hold your finger on the button for 10 seconds. And it’s just as easy as before to pulse it. The only (mild) negative I found is that it is more finicky than I expected in locking the bowl onto the machine before it will turn on. You have to put the bowl down with the handle pointing just precisely so (about 7:00 position), then turn it to the 6:00 position, with more precision than previous models, and no clear mark or indicator to guide you. But after a few moments of struggling, you’ll figure it out. Overall, this was a very worthwhile purchase. I recommend.

This little chopper is great!! It can chop vegetables in just a few seconds. Easy to clean and operate.. very affordable

This is my 2nd one, I used it so much I wore it out! I’ve had it for about 7 or more years. The price went up and I needed to wait for it to go on sale. YAY for Prime Days!! I used it when our kids were living at home and now there’s just the 2 of us, use it for chopping veggies, fruits and nuts. Same thing: smaller in size about 3 cups, easy to manage, doesn’t take up much counter space, durable, dishwasher safe (on the top) always easy to assemble, and swift ease to use. The blades were always sharp after all those years. Zip, zip, zip done!! Love it!!!

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).

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

small compact and slices, dices and puree. Sits on my counter and takes up little room . Cleans up well. light in weight.

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.

Hermoso color rosa, y cumple con todas mis expectativas muy útil y deja todo muy bien picado y molido si así lo prefieres. 5 estrellas 🌟

My cusinart blade is plastic made so got rubbed and not working. Can't grind. So sad
