What food processor would you recommend?

SuzieQue — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 01:10:04 GMT

Hi all, I was just wondering what food processor you guys think I should purchase for my daughter. She has dropped some subtle hints that she would like one for her birthday or Christmas coming up. I have the kitchen aid but some reviews are saying the new ones are made cheaply. Thoughts? Thank you for your help!

The Breville Sous Chef Food Processor. I did ALL my research and waited a YEAR before I got it but WOW it's EVERYTHING to me. The sticker price is high, but after having it now for over a year, I wouldn't be without it...I couldn't be without it! It is a WORK HORSE in my kitchen http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-174636/?affsrcid=Aff0001&CAGPSPN=pla&CAWELAID=120120820000002389&catargetid=120120820000120081&cadevice=c

I've had a Custom 11 Cuisinart for about 20 years. . .well, actually it's my second one. I use it almost daily, and during "harvest" some days all day. It doesn't take up much room and does everything that I need. Should it ever die, I will replace it with a twin.

How is the Ninja? I saw some in Target tonight and was surprised - I thought it was a QVC brand. Anyway, it is a food processor, isn't it?

I have a Cuisnart that has lasted almost 30 years, granted I don't use it as much as I used to. So I would probably go with that.

Love my Cuisinart! have had it for over 25 years- That said, I also have the Ninja, and use that a lot as well, (for chopping and pureeing especially while canning)but they function somewhat differently..

I really need both of them-

I sent back the KitchenAid 13 cup I ordered on the Q, and ended up buying a Cuisinart at Bed Bath & Beyond. Love it!

I've had a kitchenaid for years so I don't know about the new ones. I'd say go by how much she likes to cook for how expensive of one you buy.

Sad to say, the KA were good but now are kind of bad. And I can't recommend the Wolfgang Puck. I had one and it broke apart.

The two good choices I know of are Breville and Cuisinart. The Breville is a tank and gets great reviews from America's Test Kitchen but it's pricy. The Cuisinart is reasonably priced and has excellent sharp blades, especially for slicing.

No to the Ninja. It's a glorified blender. I've got Cuisinart and Ninja. No comparison.

I agree. I also did my research before buying the Breville Sous Chef food processor. It's amazing! It is pricey, but it is well worth it. It's a very well thought out piece of kitchen equipment.

Cuisineart. They last forever and work great. I upgrated my 1973 cuisineart a few years ago to a bigger model. The older one I donated because it still worked well.

Thank you so much ladies! Well, it seems like Cuisinart has won! Lonestar Babs great idea to buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond...I can use one of their coupons! I'm so glad I asked. I appreciate all of you that responded.

I couldn't agree more with LaLa Mommy and LilyBell2. Before purchasing this food processor I researched and researched and researched and read review after review. Also watched You Tube videos from Breville - recommend you do the same to see why this is a superior food processor. When Consumer Reports reviewed food processors, this Breville Sous Chef blew everything else out of the water. CI liked it as well. Over the years I've owned several food processors including Cuisinart. This Breville is better than anything else I've ever had, by far. It's beautifully designed and I highly recommend it. It's not cheap but I don't think you can buy a better food processor.
