Need recommendations for Food Processor and/or Stand Mixer

[Mom-to-3]

No, I don't have a good place to store them, but I keep running into yummy recipes that call for a Food Processor. The price range is startling!

What do you have? What have you had? What would you recommend?

Thanks.

I have a cuisenart food proccesor and a kitchenaid epicurian stand mixer... I love them both!! The kitchenaid mixer is great because you can get fun attachments, like the pasta maker. I use my F.P. all the time. My advice... find room on the counter top where they are accessible, if you have to drag them out you'll never use them!!

I love having a food processor. I use it for everything from grating cheese to mixing stiff cookie dough.

I burnt out the motor on 3 inexpensive ones before I moved up to the Cuisinart - it is still going strong 20 years later.

I love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer!!! I bake bread 2 or 3 times a week and the mixer makes it so much more appealing to make - no more messy hands! I also use it to mix up meatloaf, meatballs, cake batter, etc. I also burned up an inexpensive mixer a few years ago the extra money is worth it.

Another Kitchen Aid stand mixer user here. I also have a Kitchen Aid food processor but it's the smaller one. Often I have to make two batches of stuff so I would buy the bigger model if I had it to do over again.

Don't have a food processor, but I LOVE my KitchenAid stand mixer. It's the best.

A friend recently got a Kitchen Aid food processor to match her stand mixer....she loves it.

I have a Black and Decker food processor....cheap, does the job I need it for. I don't use it often because, well, its just a pain. I don't think it does a good job shredding or slicing...but I might be doing it wrong.

I'm still waiting to get a good stand mixer...but my little handheld still works. When it dies I would like to get a Kitchen Aid.
