Cuisinart DLC-2AR Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Red

A Great, Little Machine
Before purchasing this product I spent awhile online reading reviews regarding it, and other similar products. At the time, I found the reviews very split: it seemed the reviewer either loved it or hated it, with few tending towards the middle. It seemed to fit my needs so I decided to go for it, figuring that if it was as bad as some had said, I would simply return it.

This little Cuisinart is amazing and easy to use. Having never used any sort of food processor before in my life, I was able to set it up and use it in just a few minutes.

the little processor that could

Nice little chopper
This is just perfect for me since I have avoided recipes that have diced onions or peppers since it just so tedious. A couple of cuts with the knife and in they go and a few seconds later I have nicely diced onions or peppers. What more could I ask for?
