Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Little Pro Plus is an absolutely necessary all-in-one kitchen tool. It chops, dices, shreds, grates, purées, and even kneads dough. Add the super citrus juicer and one of the three juicing cones and there's an automatic at-home juice bar. The base measures only 6 by 8-1/2 inches, so it fits cozily on the counter and is easy to store. Included is a comprehensive booklet detailing the many different ways of using the Little Pro Plus and dozens of recipes (try a homemade hummus). It even has pictures of how to assemble and use for those of us who are visual learners. --Dana Van Nest

4.0 out of 5 stars Full Size Performance at Mini Processor Price, August 16, 2000

This review is from: Cuisinart LPP Little Pro Plus 3-Cup Food Processor and Juicer, White (Kitchen)

I purchased this item to prepare for a large family gathering at my home. Since then it has become the work horse of my kitchen. It is easy to use and takes up very little space (although you will need to find someplace to store the attachments). I was particularily impressed with the juicer attachment. I have never been able to extract as much clear (the strainer is small enough to keep the juice virtually pulp-free)juice from fruit as I have with the LPP juicer. The LPP is easy to assemble, disassemble and clean (it really is dishwasher safe).

Two caveats: The LPP is a mini processor, so if you need to make large quanitites you will have to work in batches. And I find the power cord about 6 inches too short. But, if you need/want a processor that works like a full size unit, but doesn't take up full size space, this a an excellent compromise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 4, 2002

When I cook, I generally prepare 3 or 4 meals worth of whatever recipe I'm using. I find the Little Pro's capacity more than adequate for those kinds of amounts. Enough Salmon and bread crumbs for 8 croquettes, enough potatoes for a dozen or so potato pancakes, and so on. Chopping three or four onions is no problem and saves time and tears.

Clean up is a non-issue. Everything but the base goes straight into the dishwasher.

I use the juicing attachment when I need to squeeze more than one lemon or orange, but I do agree with the reviewer who expressed concern over the safety of this attachment. I've never injured myself with it, but its easy to see how you could and I'm VERY careful when I use it. With all of its other functions, moving parts are completely enclosed and perfectly safe.

It is well-constructed and durable. I can't even remember when I bought mine. Suffice it to say that it was more than ten years ago. I have never had a problem of any kind with it in all that time.

I have limited counter space in my kitchen, but I leave the Little Pro on the counter all the time because it has a very small "footprint" and is not in the way when not in use. There's no way I could do that with it's larger full-size cousins.

If you don't cook for a large crowd and want a useful chopping/shredding/blending tool that you can leave on the counter where you can get at it when you need it, this is a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small but powerful, November 13, 2005

By

This review is from: Cuisinart LPP Little Pro Plus 3-Cup Food Processor and Juicer, White (Kitchen)

When I purchased this item, I was trying to decide between this processor and the miniprep. A former roommate of mine had the miniprep, and I was a little frustrated by the fact that it frequently would overheat when preparing even something relatively simple like pesto. This item is much more powerful than the miniprep, and I have never had problems with it overheating. The ejector chute also allows it to chop larger batches of food. The only task I have put it to where I have found it less than satisfactory is in preparing pie crust. The booklet claims that it is up to the task, but I found it doesn't quite mix properly (the dough on the bottom doesn't seem to mix as well with the dough on the top). All in all, however, this item is great.
