FANTASTIC PROCESSOR!!
I have a tiny kitchen so I was exceedingly weary of my huge processor. This Cusinart does the work of the large one much better. It provides all my food prep needs. It is easier to clean and very good looking. Since purchasing this one, I have given some as gifts and the recipients are very pleased.

Money Well Spent
Compact and perfect. There are only two of us in the house so I don't cook really elaborate meals. This little cuisinart is perfect for us. It has a four cup capacity which really if you think about it, is more than plenty. It does only have one blade and two settings, chop or grind, but I've found by tapping the button rather than holding it down you can pretty much chop, shred, grind just about anything. Well worth the money. I would reccomend it.
Similar Model is very Dangerous
I have had a similar model of Cuisinart food processor for about six years, and the blade recently broke off while in use, broke through the plastic container, and flew across the room. As a result of luck only, no one was in its path. Customer service had no real response; they suggested that I pay $20 to replace the broken parts.
An examination of the broken blade shows that this is likely to be a recurring problem with this model and any other Cuisinarts using a similar blade. It is clear that this structural failure is due to a lack of reinforcement of the blades at the point of riveting. The removal of material for the placement of the rivets, the thinness of the material, and the large amount of leverage placed upon the rivets by the longer blades led to the structural failure of the part. This failure could have happened at any time, and could have caused severe injury to the user. The tempering necessary to create blades that stay sharp is the same tempering that makes it impossible to have such thin, un-reinforced parts. The blades should either be made of thicker material, or have a wider section in the area of rivet contact to avoid failure.
Mini Cuisenart food processor
I bought this as a christmas present for my mom, then I found out my dad has a large one so I kept it for myself! I've only used it a few times but it works well and saves me time while preparing meals and desserts. I also like the sleek design and it is very compact so it will fit in small spaces in the cabinets.
Good little worker - early cracking
I chose this processor for our wedding registry - I ended up buying it myself. I saw it in person, so if you're just looking online, please realize that the "brushed steel" is just the color of the plastic body - it's very light weight. So 3.5 years later I had no complaints - usage was light - not even once a month. Then I started to prepare baby food when I noticed that the blade part had cracks in the plastic - and was discolored from food seeping into the cracked plastic. I ended up sterilizing it in boiling water and made the food anyway. It does work great for baby food! you just need a little liquid to get it to the fine puree stage. Now I need a replacement blade -left it too long in the sterilizing pot =(
