Cuisinart Mini Mate Chopper/GrinderAmazon.com Review
The Mini-Mate makes quick work of small kitchen prep jobs that might otherwise require difficult and messy chopping, grinding, and grating: nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks, peppercorns and seeds, garlic and anchovies, even chocolate and citrus peel. With a patented reversible blade for sharp or blunt processing, and two speeds of operation, it is well equipped to handle a variety of jobs. Though it has a high-speed motor and durable stainless-steel motor shaft, keep in mind that the Mini-Mate is designed for small amounts of food: 2 tablespoons is the maximum recommended for one batch, and food pieces should be no larger than 1/2 inch. Purchase it to complement, not replace, a larger, full-function food processor. An instruction book that accompanies the processor details how to process many common foods and troubleshoot problems so you know how to best use and care for your Mini Mate. Cleanu… More >>

This thing lasted about 5 minutes and then burned out even when following instructions to not run it more than the specified number of seconds.If this thing cant handle breaking up (not pulverising )almonds, then why were almonds on the list of things you could chop with it?????? The good news was that the customer service people at Popeil who sold this item through Amazon were probably the most helpful and polite bunch I have ever dealt with. One star for Cuisnart and TEN stars for Popeil Stores.I would be happy to deal with them any time.

I love the cuisinart! It’s a space-saver. It grinds very good. I only used it twice and it’s broken. I didn’t immerse in water but rinse it and wipe it with a towel. I’m not sure if that cause the problem. But it doesn’t work. It’s a great tool in the kitchen. DON’T USED WATER TO CLEAN!!!!! Just wipe it clean! This is a warning to all who owns the Cuisinart.

So, I bought this AGES ago, for when my cheap-o mini-chopper died. It lasted several more years, and still would be fine, except the heat of the dishwasher finally made the plastic bowl give out. Last night I pulled this out of the closet where it’s been and used it today. I chopped ONE banana in it. Scooped that out, and tried to put avocado in, and…the motor whirrs and the blades sit in place. It is a total waste of your money. Find something else. I wish I’d bought two of the little ones from CVS when I got the one now sitting in my trashcan (and it was hardly perfect). After a single use, I’m looking all over Amazon for something else to replace this one, which worked a whopping 5 minutes.

It is excellent, easy to clean, easy to handle and store away..
My mother loved it and I am enjoying it too…So convenient for small quantity of grinding and chopping…

I’ve had this thing for years. It is quick to pull out of the cabinet and use. It also doesn’t take up much space. Making bread crumbs for crab cakes is probably my favorite use for it. Clean up is pretty easy as the cup and blade go in the dishwasher. It claims that it grinds coffee beans, but I would not recommend it for that use. If you are using it for multiple batches of things, it can be a hassle to empty and refill, but not unreasonably so.
