   This is a wonderful tool and I use it regularly. The 4 cup capacity is much better (for me) than a 3 cup model. The extra capacity is perfectly handy for things like hummus based on a 15 ounce can of chick peas, or enough falafel based on uncooked but soaked chickepeas for two people. The 3 cup Cuisinart model, which I also have experience with, is too small for my uses. This particular model is durable and reliable and easy to clean. We have had two four cup models and the first one lasted several years– at least ten years– before a crack in the plastic that holds the blade developed. We have given these as gifts. Great for pestos including things like chimichurri. Also great for pureeing many things, including tomatoes. I also use it to make ginger garlic paste, as used for many Indian style dishes. This is a real “work horse” appliance.

   works perfectly, easily – doesn’t take up space of large one and even works better than large one I used to have

   This is my second food processor ever. I have a very small kitchen and needed a smaller processor but not to small. I really do not have the space for a full size food processor. I use this one everyday to grind meats and veggies for my dogs, turtles and tortoises It works great. To me there isn’t much difference between chop and grind. It comes out looking about the same. I would prefer a processor with more functions but I do not see that with smaller models. This processor has made my life much simpliar. It is a real time saver.

   So it worked well for a while month. Used it about once a week. Its just over the month since its been delivered and it stopped working yesterday. Cuisinart is a good brand. I’m surprised it stopped working so soon.
   

8. David Chen Verified Buyer – 21 February 2025

   Bought this to make hummus and only hummus and wanted something cheap. it works well, the blades are sharp, and is easily cleanable. Theres no timer on the processor so if you need to blend it for a minute or more you will have to sit there and hold it. Rattles sometimes when theres a lot of spinning but its light so its inevitable. Theres no opening on the top of it so if you need to add things into it you need to stop processing and open it up. Otherwise it works as expected but nothing extraordinary. Does have some safety features so you can run it without locking in the cup.

   This is a great little food processor. It’s great for making ham salad, salsa, etc. Very easy to use take apart and clean. I don’t have a lot of space on my counter, but I can easily stored in a cupboard. I can tell that I will be using it a lot. Would make a great gift for a college student or a wedding gift

   

10. Chris Verified Buyer – 26 February 2025

    I bought it because I need to stop chopping food myself. This grinds veggies and chopping isn’t exactly what I expected. I love and use it every day to make my dogs meals. Yesterday I used to make a smoothy with frozen berries. As far as cleaning up, it was faster & easier than I hoped. Careful the blade is sharp (ouch).
    Fits great in my appliance cabinets also.

    Great little food processor. I had one when I was living in Europe for a while and couldn’t bring it back to the States due the voltage differences. It’s very handy and nice for tasks where I don’t need my large food processor (which is heavy and less convenient to setup). I generally don’t do liquid stuff in this one, so can’t rate how well the lid seals. But for chopping garlic, ginger, and other tasks, it’s very handy and works well.

    This little food processor has been prefect for my needs. It’s high powered and great quality. Very easy to clean and easy to use overall. The first time I used it, it stopped working in the middle of my job. However after troubleshooting and studying the manual I discovered it was an automatic shut off due to being over worked. After letting it rest for about 5 minutes it came right back on and I’ve had no problems with it. Now I know not to overfill it and also not to run it for too long. Would highly recommend!!!

    This thing is FANTASTIC! I love everything about it. It does a great job of chopping/shredding meat to whatever degree you wish. It fits under my cabinets. It is all plastic, so no worry about dropping it & glass breaking. Best of all? Every part that touches food can be washed in the dishwasher! ONE WARNING, though: if you hand wash its blades, you must be VERY CAREFUL. It comes with dire warnings about how sharp those blades are. So, this is ideal for people like me who ONLY washes dishes in the dishwasher. For people who don’t use a dishwasher, may be a bit dangerous to clean its blades.

    This kitchen machine works really well. I use it to grind up kitchen scraps to put into the compost. That way they break down much faster and compost forms much sooner. Grinding and chopping them up can be done without adding water. Before I would sometimes throw the scraps away because I did not have time to prepare them for the compost pile using our blender. I have also used this machine to grind up acorns after shelling them and softening them in water, in preparation for rinsing them repeatedly to make them edible. I had some trouble getting the machine to come on the first time because the top part and the handle have to be locked in place exactly right for that to happen.

    Es un procesador de alimentos increíble, es pequeño pero tiene mucha potencia con su motor de 250W.
    Siempre había querido uno y ahora que me di el gusto me arrepiento de no haberla comprado antes, puedes hacer todo tipo de puré, emulsiones, picar verduras, moler nueces, dips… La imaginación es el límite.

    Una diferencia con la licuadora es que este no necesitas agregarle agua, muele en seco y lo hace de una manera increíble.
    Estoy contenta con este accesorio que no puede faltar en la cocina.

    I ordered a brand new product, instead I received a used and dirty one.

    This Cuisinart 3-Cup Mini Chopper in Anchor Gray (CCH-3AG) has become an absolute staple in my kitchen, earning a solid 5 stars! The 3-cup size is truly perfect for cooking for 1 to 2 people, handling everything from chopping onions to making small batches of sauce without any fuss. I was pleasantly surprised by the great price point for such a versatile and durable little appliance. It’s incredibly easy to use with its simple operation, and cleaning is a breeze – all the parts come off easily for a quick rinse or pop into the dishwasher. If you’re looking for a compact, efficient, and user-friendly chopper, this one is definitely worth it!
