The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds. For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete

Mini-prep processor
The mini-processor does a great job chopping things up, it's just too small for the big chopping jobs that I need. I will definintely invest in a bigger version.

Perfect for baby food
Works perfect for baby food.
Would suggest to chop small and cooked veggies
I wouldn't suggest it for anything else

Perfect for small kitchens/spaces
I think that I have the smallest kitchen in the world, two people in there and you will become intimate. There was no problem for this little processor to find it's place on the counter, it's foot print is only 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". I also need to say that I bought it as a refurbished model, the price was so good that I could not refuse. Warning! that little blade is sharper that it looks, trust me and my finger when I tell you that.
