Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Brushed Nickel 5 cups Food Processor 250 W - Silver

Really good value for money, it is the first time I have used a food processor and after just a week, I've found a use for it at least 4 times - everything from mincing garlic (it did that surprisingly well) to a steak marinade (it did that well too) and shredding carrots for my home made coleslaw - so much easier than my usual method. I then realised it doesn't have a slicer which was a bit disappointing but as a novice, I hadn't realised that some do.
I bought it to make my own nut butter and if I am honest, it's not as good as I had hoped - this may be my fault as I am nervous of overheating the motor. The cashew nut butter is fine just remains a little grittier than I expected despite 15-20 minutes at full speed (actually - it only has two speeds - PULSE and ON. If value is your goal, then this is the one for you, its also a cost effective way to see if I will continue to use a good processor for a year or so rather than investing in a heavy duty, expensive alternative that could sit in a cupboard unused.
If only it juiced lemons too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This food processor grates everything like a beast and makes meal prep so much faster. It is brilliant for finely chopping and hiding vegetables in toddler dinners. Powerful, quick, and easy to clean as it all bungs in the dishwasher!

Amazing 1.1 l processor. Definitely recommend.

I bought this on offer. I prefer smaller processors and they are so much lighter and easier to use and store. It was so cheap that I almost gave up buying it, thinking that for that price it must have a fault.
I am very experienced in using this type of food processors, so I tested it where other processors failed me: I finely chopped a piece of ginger+4 cloves of garlic, expecting them to fall under the blade and get stuck there: but a few pulses chopped them to perfection, in seconds. Then, I pushed a whole bunch if fresh coriander on top of the blade, put the lid in place and switched it on. I was expecting the coriander stalks to tangle and get stuck together, and me to have to take them out and cut them by knife instead: again, they got chopped to perfection in seconds. For testing the disc, I processed some other vegetables, the disc passed the onions test with 10, then I fed it an aubergine, which is spongy and difficult to process. It came out perfect.
Finally I made whipped cream again and it came out perfect as well. For the price, this processor is unbelievable good. I am extremely happy with my purchase and hope it will last. My previous Cuisinart mini processor is still by my side, since 2018:))

Small but powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent small processor. Easily handles making salsa, dips, hummus and much more. I especially liked the fact it doesn’t take up much room on your kitchen worktop. The fast but discrete blender blitz’s anything within seconds.

Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cuisinart FlexPrep Food Processor is small, easy-to-use and a kitchen helper that makes everyday cooking quick and a lot easier. It comes with handy attachments like a chopping blade, a shredding disc and whipping blade, so you can prepare lots of different recipes or cuts without much effort. Whether you’re making dips, cutting veg or whipping something like cream, it handles the job with ease.
It has a simple one touch control and a pulse option, so no need to mess around with complicated settings or knobs.
The bowl and blades lock securely in place, which makes it safe and steady while you’re using it.
Cleaning is a breeze as they come apart easily and most parts can go straight in a dishwasher.
It doesn’t take up much space on the counter, and the accessories store neatly inside the bowl, which is great if you’re short on room. Overall, it’s a reliable and compact food processor that’s great for everyday tasks and for people who want something straightforward and easy to use

High expectations for this Cuisinart FlexPrep
on November 24, 2025
Posted by: Olubeau7
from United Kingdom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high expectations for this Cuisinart FlexPrep Food Processor as it sets itself apart in terms of catering various elements of the food preparation process, which ordinarily would require multiple devices or tools in order to accomplish and in some cases with more difficulty! So on that basis I expected much comparatively to your atypical blender or food processor persay. In addition to other qualities I was initially drawn by the multifaceted nature of the food processor's abilities. As far as the Cuisinart brand, innovation is their strength so I expected a visionary product that pushes the barriers of expectations.
On initial viewing I was concerned by the size and that the ability to accommodate for the more sizeable food preparation might be an issue, this was silenced by the sheer power of the processor. The compactness means that it is easier to store and I have more space! It is very easy to clean despite the intricacies (multiple parts)! Everyday, a new discovery!
