I just bought a new one and gave my old one (several decades old; still going strong) to my DD.</p> <p>My Waring Xtreme blender is fantastic for smoothies and also for general blending, though I also have a Braun immersion blender that comes in handy for soups.</p> <p>Before you think I'm gadget happy, I don't own a coffee maker. I brew coffee the old fashion "drip" way, one cup at a time, with a cone and unbleached paper filter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1131286 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:44:13 +0000 ManidipaM 1131286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KitchenAid makes glass bowls you can buy separately for the stand mixer. Worth checking for the food processor too. Though stainless steel might also be a good bet. Doesn't anyone make metal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130963 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:05:40 +0000 K. Period. 1130963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Kitchen Aid that is 19 years old. I love it. &nbsp;I just had to buy the first replacement piece for it: a bowl because the handle broke and I didn't like to look at it (even though it still worked fine). &nbsp;I use it all the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>@elpgal, I've never seen a glass bowl, but you can buy replacement bowls on Amazon. &nbsp;If you did, you could have a clean one and a stained one. Having a second work bowl can actually be quite nice on heavy use days (like holiday dinner days). &nbsp; </p> <p>@MaryK, twins again!

The plastic bowl on mine is stained with spices :(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130942 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:45:21 +0000 cuffcat 1130942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuisinart. The Mini-prep (in orange!) and the 7 cup size (white) are super useful, but the 7 cup is a bit heavy.&nbsp; I mix dough in the Kitchen Aid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130850 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 23:47:19 +0000 Isabel 1130850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou....lol ! &nbsp;But who could have guessed. &nbsp;Pretend that orange is a "neutral". &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130631 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:33:32 +0000 DonnaF 1130631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Glory;</p> <p>Your Cuisinart's model number should be on a sticker on the underside of the motor.&nbsp; I think I googled it and found a company or possibly two.&nbsp; They added safety features since mine was made, so I had to buy a three piece assembly instead of the single piece I needed.&nbsp; $$$!&nbsp; And even now, a piece broke after a couple of months, so I have to physically hold the thing down; no walking away while it runs.&nbsp; I suppose certain pieces can be purchased off eBay and the like, but it was good to be able to study the diagrams.&nbsp; I bought needed parts from a company in South San Francisco that seems to specialize in obscure and ancient Cuisinart parts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130523 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:43:33 +0000 rachylou 1130523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only use the Cuisinart for chopping. I use a Kitchen Aid "artisan" mixer for kneaded doughs...</p> <p>On a tangent, I got the mixer in a burnt orange sort of colour, because someone got me a Creuset in burnt orange, then I added another Creuset thing to match, then the mixer... I regret the orange just a wee bit because now I'm living open-plan and it all clashes with the living room furniture... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130508 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:27:00 +0000 Parsley 1130508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Cuisinart that's practically an antique, but it's still going strong, and it's great for grating or&nbsp;slicing things.</p> <p>For heavy-duty blending I LOVE my VItamix. I drink spinach smoothies made in it almost every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130372 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:31:59 +0000 Anonymous 1130372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Cuisinart is at least fifteen-twenty years old and I love it (but I can't vouch for the new ones). The plastic bowl is cracked, so I only use it for really thick things like making tahini and hummus.&nbsp;Getting replacement parts for yours sounds like a good idea, and I might look into that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130251 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:10:20 +0000 Glory 1130251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna I wonder if I should look into that. It is the lid that is snapped off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1130079 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 04:35:23 +0000 DonnaF 1130079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Cuisinart is over 30 years old, and a plastic part got brittle and broke off.&nbsp; After doing research, I decided to buy replacement parts and spend almost as much as it would cost to buy a new one -- cuz today they just aren't made like the old ones.&nbsp; I don't use mine to knead bread dough which appears to be the one tough thing that wears out motors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129925 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:14:36 +0000 Emily 1129925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a cuisinart mini prep plus, and I &lt;3 it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129725 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:46:40 +0000 MsMary 1129725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a KitchenAid and I like it just fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129698 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:21:20 +0000 carter 1129698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just so you know what not to buy...I have a professional grade Wofgang Puck stainless processor. It's gorgeous. It has a huge capacity bowl and every blade imagineable. However, it is so friggin' heavy that I hate to pull it out unless I'm chopping a TON of veggies for canning or making a double batch of pizza dough. I cook a lot, so the side benefit to having this machine is that my knife skills are now pretty darned good;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129687 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:44:09 +0000 JAileen 1129687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had my Cuisinart for over 30 years and it's still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129640 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:40:02 +0000 catgirl 1129640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Cuisinart but I reach for my Vitamix for almost everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129630 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:19:03 +0000 Angie 1129630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuisinart.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129561 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:50:34 +0000 Isabel 1129561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also bought a Cuisinart two years ago and I absolutely love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1129555 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:45:55 +0000 rachylou 1129555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the ubiquitous Cuisinart, which has been with me for maybe 15 years.
