HELP NEEDED: Looking To Buy A Food Processor page

[Armstrong]

I was browsing some of the recipes and seen a lot that uses food processors and getting one has been something my wife and I have been talking about for a while.

I need help from all my fellow groks on what is a good food processor. If we are going to invest some money into one I want to get one that will handle all that I need.

Can anyone give me suggestions? It'd be greatly appreciated!

I'm partial to KitchenAid. I have the 12 cup and that comes with an insert with a 4 cup bowl. Large and small jobs. Works great. I also have their Artisan stand mixer.

Normally in Canada it runs for 339.00 and I got it on sale for 199.00. Of course prices are much cheaper in the US. You get what you pay for here. It will be with you for years.

I bought this one in December. Someone around here recommended a similar model and i got this one because it seemed to have a wider "mouth" and more capacity. It has worked well for everything I've used it for. I almost bought a Cuisinart at Costco but was convinced by the poster to buy this one and do not regret it. I save a lot of money. And, it's on sale now, so it will leave more money for grass fed beef

I have this one... by Black & Decker

I thought I should spend a lot on a food processor for it to be of good quality... not true! I love this one. The one shat posted looks good, too.

I got this Hamilton Beach one http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CEUQ8gIwAw# at a garage sale for $1. I have beaten that thing to death, and it keeps going like a champ!

This is a better description:

I have the same one and it works pretty good for what I need it to do. Like an idiot I threw the blade away by accident and am looking all over for a replacement with no luck.

my mom got a new cuisinart and gave me her old one - it has to be at least 20 years old and still is a fierce beastly little thing.
it has lots of different blades and it works great for me. its a DLC-10 plus. mom bought a DLC-8S. i have a little cuisinart "mini chopper" but that was a huge waste of money, it doesnt have much power at all... go for the real thing, especially if you can find a used one cheap.

I had a mini Cuisinart before I bought my KitchenAid. It was great for fauxtatoes and chopping the eggs for egg salad. That was all I pretty well used it for.
