I will say a food processor isn't worht it and I would buy an inexpensive one. I have a Black and Decker my mom bought me because I HAD TO HAVE ONE. I have used it 3 times, to make crust for cheesecake. A houseguest used it once for making salsa. We have owned it since 2005. Luckily my mom bought it on black Friday that year and got it for about $20.
