Reconditioned by the manufacturer to like new condition
Great for chopping mixing pureing and grinding small portions
Two speeds; 21-ounce capacity
Patented reversible stainless-steel chopping/mixing blade
Durable dishwasher-safe bowl and coverThe Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don’t let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand while using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush for removing coffee grounds.
For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces–about 1/2 inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when disassembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. –Irene Svete

Good Product!!! The Factory Reconditioned Cuisinart DLC-1FR 21-Ounce Mini-Prep Food Processor waa great buy for us. Easy to use, easy to clean, small enough to leave out on the counter without getting in the way. We had no problem with out unit cosmetically. It looked brand new. When we first used it for a job that took more than 30 seconds to chop/blend, we could smell a very slight odor as the motor got warm, but with the enclosed bowl none of that affected the taste of the food. If you are chopping…
I Love This Little Thing I had never really gotten on the food processor bandwagon. I had bad experiences with older, larger food processors that either liquified things I was chopping, yet still left large chunks behind. Add in the time to get the appliance out, find place on the counter, and then clean it afterwards, and I could do a faster, better job with a sharp knife.
Additional parts far too expensive! I’ve had mine for a good two years and find it most handy, but looking into the prices of extra work-bowls, lids and blades, they are extremely overpriced and for a set of above, one could buy a whole new machine! Shame on this gouging CUISINART!
