Not the base surely?! Incidentally, the blade shaft on mine
tends to rust.

No, the base sadly isn't dishwasher safe, but it tends to stay clean and I
just do a quick wipedown on it if something spills. Never had any rust
problems on the blade shaft, either on this one or the Black & Decker one I
used to have.

I have this for very small jobs. Dices onions very finely (which I like).

I also have the Cuisinart Little Pro Plus Food Processor.

If you only need<?> a small FP, why not just a good knife? My FP is the
most under used kitchen appliance I have, but I do use my sticker blender
regularly.

Before you order online, shop locally. I think I got mine on sale for about
$8.00 at a local drug store. Believe I've also seen them at Home Depot.

I want it to be simple to use and easy to clean.

I'd get a cheap one to see how often I would really use it in practice. Says
the person who bought a real FP, a small one (for pesto and chopping nuts)
and a blender and never uses any of them.

I do use my other two electric gadgets: a handheld mixer and a stick
blender. Might as well have stuck with them. Even so, I can't seem to stop
pondering a coffe grinder for spices

That is a great price. The machine only has 70 Watts. That sounds very low
to me, mine has 380. Which is way too much. I've seen others around 200W.

Does anyone here know if 70W is enough?

Can't beat Cuisinart.

Our small KitchenAid food processor has worked out well so far.

I managed to smoke (literally) its predecessor, which was a Cuisinart.
The KitchenAid seems to be sturdier overall compared to the old
Cuisinart equivalent.

Fwiw, my perception is that the Cuisinart brand in general doesn't
necessarily mean "quality" these days, as it did (or at least seemed to)
in the past.

Even better.

I cannot go to HD or to Lowes or any of those huge
stores. They suck all the life out of me.

I use a Black & Decker, but it is really difficult to remove the container
from the base. My "on" button is starting to stick, too. Then again, heck,
it's at least 6 years old or more. It chops garlic up really well.

I like my kitchen aid food processor too. I think the trick is to have it
handy.

I don't find cleaning it is a a big deal. But if I recall it was more than
$8 - I'm thinking about $60.

You want me to send you a new food processor, kili?
I just saw one for $8, lol!

LOL, cyber. It would cost more than that to ship it! I'll just get a new
one, eventually. :~)

How small? I have a mini made by Krups and I love it. It holds about
a cup or so, before processing.

During my mother's illness, we used this little wonder. It dispatched
everything from ice cubes to egg yolks in seconds! Everything she ate had to
be processed so it got quite a workout.
It's reasonably priced, totally convenient, the blades and bottom go in the
dishwasher and the top wipes off. It works like a charm. I had a mini food
processor which I gave to my son. When I went to buy another, there were no
more, so I reluctantly picked up this one. Lucky me! Since then I have
given several for gifts and everyone who has tried it here has bought one
for themselves, (including my son, who gave away the one I gave him, and
bought one of these for himself.) I use mine to make pesto for freezing,
chopping veggies, nuts, salsa, etc. It's really a neat little appliance.

I have an ancient Black & Decker food processor. It still runs perfectly
and I haven't managed to kill it yet. But I was mostly using it to chop
things like onions, garlic, etc. I find now that I can more effectively
chop those with a good cutting board and knife.

i think most minis are chep enough to cheaply replac that normal folks can buy
chea and replace it when it dies. Mine was about $15 or less and iis a proctor
silex. It is a few years old. mAYBE 3.

What do you want your "small" food processor to do? Without knowing that,
it's really possible to give a good answer. My small food processor takes
up little space, slices uniformly, crushes garlic, and does many other
chores while being very easy to clean. It is an 8 inch knife kept razor
sharp by steeling it each time after it is washed.
