Comment:
I'VE HAVE A BIG CUISINART FOR 20 YEARS BUT NEVER USED IT. TOO BIG TO LEAVE SITTING OUT, AND TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO DRAG OUT FOR SMALL ITEMS. SO, THIS LITTLE BITTY CUISINART JUST SITS TUCKED IN A CORNER ON MY COUNTERTOP ALL THE TIME AND I USE IT CONSTANTLY FOR EVERYTHING FROM MEAT, VEGETABLES, BREAD CRUMBS, BLENDING, ETC. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT 3 YEARS AND LOVE IT. LESS THAN $40 ON [@]

I bought this mini food processor to compliment the Black and Decker 10 cup food processor that I already have. It is for small jobs like cutting onions or chopping nuts. It is a little bit more pricey, but I am surprised at how powerful it is compared to its size. Another strength is that it is small enough to fit on the counter or inside the cabinet when it is not in use. It is another quality product from Cuisinart.

First a note about the quality. This is our 3rd unit in about 5 years. The motor in the first unit burned out just in a few weeks, so I got it replaced under the warranty. The second unit worked well for a couple of years and the blade suddenly broke. I got a new blade on Amazon and that worked fine for another couple of years and recently it broke the same way. Instead of paying another $16+ for a blade, we decided to get a new one in costco as they are selling these now for $25 (also the plastic bowl on the old one started to crack anyway). My main gripe is on the blade quality especially that we use it mainly for vegetables (no meat, no ice, no hard stuff). The new model is slightly different from that of 5yr old. The blade is angular instead of flat, probably to give better results. It also seems to be better built. My wife uses this to chop a lot of vegetables such as carrots, beets, tomatoes, onions etc. and make Indian chutneys and she is very happy with it.

I bought this DLC-2ABC processor for my wife. She likes the performace and design as well, but wants to one more plastic case to store garlic :) I think there are three different color, but silver is the best !!! For 2 persons, wife and me, this is the perfect process I recommend. P.S. In my case, it took a week to get it.
