About this product
The Cuisinart DLC-1 Mini-Prep food processor is a compact unit with a 21 oz capacity, 110W motor, and 2 speeds. It features a click-lock lid, dishwasher-safe parts, and a 60-inch cord. Made of glossy white plastic, it includes a blade, bowl, and motor base. This unit has been tested and priced at $35.99. It is ideal for chopping, grinding, and blending small batches.
Our take
I've had the DLC-1 for a while, and it's perfect for small jobs like chopping nuts or herbs. The 21 oz bowl is compact, and the 2 speeds work fine. It is straightforward to use and clean. However, the 110W motor struggles with anything hard, and the plastic build feels dated. The cord length is nice. For $36, it's a reliable mini chopper, but you can find more powerful options now. If you only need light duty, it's fine.
