Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome
Customer Review: too little
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, I don't blame the product, but this little bit of a thing is not what I expected. I guess I did not pay enough attention to the description.
For the price, I could have gotten a larger processor at Walmarts store with a chute that delivered the processed stuff to a bowl.
None of these seem to really work the way we imagine. don't think you can pop a carrot in there and it all will process. There will be these lumps left over to separate from the mix.
My processors years ago used to slice. This just grinds small bits.
I'll use it, but it is not the joy I imagined. Yesterday I sliced with one of those cheap aluminum hand cheese graters and that was great. It grates too. I keep trying to buy something that is easy, like a mandolin I bougnt, but I end up chopping and slicing most often with a knife.
Oh, I also found this very akward to assemble with food.
Not mucn of a raving success I guess but if I want finely chopped veggies for a soup it will work I guess.
Customer Review: Compact, Light Weight, Works Perfectly!

After a month of reading about which food processor to purchase, I decided on this one. I use it 3-4 times a week. I usually do several batches each time. Depending what you are processing, you may have to cut it into smaller pieces, or tear it up a little. But it's a small processor, so of course you'd have to make large items smaller.
Love: Easy to store, does a great job smoothing things out, chopping things up etc. Easy to use, fantastic price!
Some draw backs: Loud, it can make a burning smell.
I've never heard a quiet food processor, but then again, I don't want to spend tons of money on one either. If you alternate between the 2 settings, I find that it does not make a burned smell. Alternating between the 2 settings also makes things puree faster and smoother. I would definitely buy this again, and recommend it.
I have used it for: icing, nut pastes, quinoa, chicken, potatoes, veggies, and more.
Customer Review: Very Effective Mini Cuisinart
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a way to liquify single servings of food to provide nutrition through my mother's feeding tube. She does not tolerate the commercial nutrition, but does well with her customary food. I tried using a blender, but the end result was inconsistent for bolusing through a feeding tube even after adding additional liquid. We have used the Cuisinart I purchased when they were first introduced to the USA, which worked well but was inconvenient for on-the-spot use and for travel. I read the reviews for this and other mini Cuisinarts and decided to try the "cheaper" one. I am impressed with its performance, ease of use and compact size. It is clearly worth the small price I paid. I most like the ports in the top for slowly introducing liquids. It is perfect for my intended use, and I can envision how to use it in cooking. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Nice little machine.

It's a little smaller than I expected. The Amazon product features section says it is 24 oz. capacity but that is incorrect. I thought I had made a mistake when I read the description but it was Amazon that goofed! It says right on the box it is 21 oz. capacity but what you are working with is more like about 16 oz. If you try to put in more than that it is just too full. Even so, it still comes in handy for all the little jobs. This is great for chopping up small amounts of veggies for my personal size salads and salsa. I even manage to make some hummus in this. Just be careful when disassembling and cleaning the blade! I'm saving for one of the bigger ones for the medium to large size jobs but this will be handy for the little ones. Cleans easily and tucks away nicely.Customer Review: Not what I was looking for

I thought I can buy this product to simplify cooking. First task, chop onion. The manual recommends that you chop the onion into small pieces before putting it in. Interesting! Well now I'm realizing this thing is very small for an onion.
Second, make a shake. Doesn't work well. Why? cuz the lid is not well designed so the liquid leaks from the top with the high speed of rotation. Other products use some elastic material in between to fill an space. This product it's plastic fitting on plastic, and definitely the liquid will spill from in between with centrifugal power. Product not tested?
