Recommend your food processor

I've never owned a food processor and I'm sick of grating/slicing/chopping/etc. things by hand.  So, what do you have?  Do you like it or hate it?  What should I be looking for in a food processor?  I'm willing to spend a decent amount to get a good one that will last me a long time, but I feel clueless about what I should be looking for.  TIA!

  • Cuisinart or KitchenAid. Can't go wrong with either one.

  • We have a cuisinart food processor, but I end up making most of DS's purees in our KitchenAid blender.

  • Also thanks to @shellbell3845‌ & @sdlaura‌! Looks like I will check out the Cuisinart and kitchenaid ones.

    @TessyMessy‌ - is the ninja much different than a blender? I have a good blender but I want something that will slice, grate, chop, etc.

  • @goobermom‌ The ninja is much more powerful than a regular blender..plus it came with the the food processor, dough blade and single serving cup for smoothies/milkshakes. I use my ninja all the time. Love it.


     

     


     

  • I have a cuisinart professional series that I got from a friend brand new (she got it as a wedding gift). I love it for diving onions up super tiny because I hate cutting them by hand and tasting them in my food... I've also used it quite a bit for other veggies and grinding graham crackers up for cheesecakes. Honestly haven't used all the attachments yet... But I still love it.. And I just throw the different parts in the dishwasher to be cleaned when done.
  • DH loves his Cuisinart Pro.  He's totally obsessed.  I don't cook, but it seems awesome so I will 4th the recommendations for it.
