Currently I have a KitchenAid that is just so-so. It's a PIA to clean, food gets caught between the blades & the top & the blades are getting dull.

I looked at the Cuisinarts & like the big feed tube that they have, plus the adjustable cutting disks. But a lot of the reviews I'm reading say that the older ones are much better than the newer, made in China, models. BUT, Costco currently has a top of the line on sale for $119. (I love a sale!)

The Breville looks really nice. I haven't seen one up close & personal, but they sure get good reviews. Pricey, but if you have it for 10+ years, it averages out in convenience. Does the food get caught between the blades & the top? Williams Sonoma has a sale on it - $399. I may take a look at one today.

I want it for the tedious tasks, like making matchstick cuts in carrots, grating cheese, mincing garlic, etc. DH was diagnosed with diabetes, so our diet has drastically changed. Lots more veggies, so lots more chopping. I have arthritis in my hands, so a nice food processor would be great.
