Hi! I'm in the market for a food processor and I was wondering if people had any reccomendations?

Thanks!

cuisinart is considered the classic model -I own one and I love it. It is good for chopping up things, pureeing and making dough.
But Kitchen-Aid puts out an incredible one and the bowl is made of a much more sturdy polycarbon plastic than the Cuisinart one.
It does have a better warranty as well. I own one of their smaller chopper/food processors as well and it is terrific.

(I used to work for Sur La Table corporate so I can tell you all kinds of crazy stuff about kitchen products -avoid any of Rachel Ray's stuff -it is cheap and breaks easily)

Ha! I knew there was a reason I didn't like that EVOO wench!

For the OP, I've got a smaller Cuisinart and, while I believe gfrancie's words, it works fine for the small tasks I throw at it.

It is all about your needs. If you are going for bigger tasks -go big and if you do the little things -you go small.

The thing is chefs survived for decades without the food processor.

Cuisinart or Kitchenaid, definitely. Go for the best one you can afford. We have the 7 cup cuisinart because we found it cheap:)

You can't ever go wrong with a classic Cuisinart. I've had several cheaper varieties that I've been miserable with and they were a waste of money. From what I've seen of the Kitchenaid, I would probably be just as satisfied with that, as it works similarly to the Cuisinart in terms of construction.

I adore my KitchenAid, I got the 12/4 cup model. It has a little bowl that nestles inside the larger one, for smaller jobs. I think it has more horsepower than my previous vehicle.

I will jump on the Cuisinart bandwagon. The only thing I don't like about mine is that I wish it were bigger.
