The diameter of the bowl is about 4 1/2" and the depth about 2 1/2". The maximum liquid volume is maybe 1 1/2 cups, but that's pushing it. The machine is almost too small to do any useful work - other than making baby food. I use it to make small quantities of sauces of various kinds. It works well for salsa because I process each ingredient to a specific size. For instance, garlic is chopped much smaller than peppers and tomatoes. And it chops the heck out of fresh herbs. The unit itself is built like a bank vault. And it whizzes like a Tasmanian Devil on crack cocaine..(can I say that?) And it looks way cute (parent and child) sitting next to my big Cuisinart of the same blocky design. It's certainly worth the money but don't get the idea that it will substitute for a big 7 or 11 cup Cuisinart because it won't. Sure, I can recommend it to a friend. You can never go wrong with a Cuisinart. Read full review

This little machine works fine (on most foods), has enough power to do the job and is easy to use. The price is also right. It has one problem though...both chopper knives are on the same plane. Because of this... some foods(like meat) just roll around in a blob without being mixed or chopped. One blade should ALWAYS be higher than the other so food mixes properly. Having said that, it is one of the few small processors that has "direct drive" with no belts or plastic gears to go bad. Thats why I bought it. The way the blades connect to the motor shaft looks a little weak though, I suppose that will be the first thing to go. Time will tell. For longevity, a direct drive processor (having the food container right above the motor) is the only way to go, until they start using steel gears. All the food processors I looked at are made with too much cheap plastic. Cheap plastic gears and belts only last a few months or maybe a year if your lucky. They are made like cheap plastic toys. If my new car only lasted a year, you can bet I'd be hoppin mad. I guess manufacturers think food processors should be "disposable". Build me one with STEEL GEARS, like my inexpensive quarter inch drill. Is that too much to ask? I think not. For now, this is the best small home processor I can find.Read full review
I bought this one to replace one that I dropped. I tried the cheap Homelife brand in local stores and they are difficult to operate and do not chop well. As long as you rinse off the blades and the container right after use, they are great. Just don't run it too long, it will turn that object your chopping into soup.

Spent awhile searching for an item that I could use for making my morning shake . I use a lot of ice and fruit along with protein powder. A food processor works better than a blender. Finally, I came across the Cuisinart Food Processor. It is perfect! The size is great, it is easy to clean, and stores well because of it's size. Additionally, I have a processor that meets my needs when preparing a meal.... for chopping, mixing, and blending purposes! Highly recommend ! Fairhope, AL
This is a very simple easy to use little chopper. I had wanted a replacement for the processor part of my cuisinart duet as I got a Vitamix to replace the blender part. This does not have any attachments for grating and slicing, but I don't use that as often so I will rely on my full sized food processor for grating and slicing.
