I have just finished rejuvenating my Cuisinart Lil Pro Plus™ food
processor.

I bought it in 1995, IIRC, because of its small size. We were planning
to sell our house in 1996 and live in an RV, which we did for 9 years,
so small and light were important. We were living in Central New Jersey
not far from the big Conair warehouse in East Windsor. Conair is the
distributor for Cuisinart. Every year the public could go to the
warehouse and purchase Conair and Cuisinart products at a deep discount.
Some of these products were "reconditioned" and I think my processor was
as the recipe book was an assembly of photocopied sheets stapled together.

The machine has served me awesomely well. It has been used at least
twice a week since I purchased it. I use it to juice the wonderful
citrus we get here in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.


I needed to replace the stem that holds the disks as it was getting
really grungy and yellowed. I replaced the stem and the blade two years
ago. I recently decided that the bowl and the cracked lid needed
replacement so I ordered them from Cuisinart and while I was paying
shipping, I added the slicing disk that I had lost along the way. The
whole deal was around $20 and now I have a beautiful new machine with a
motor every bit as strong and capable as it was when new.

I paid about $50 for the machine. It's a shame that its been
discontinued by Cuisinart, but mine has a whole new life ahead of it.

Here are the URLs for the machine in case anyone wants to find one on e-bay
