Recommend food processor

I already killed 2 making almond butter. Is it possible to buy a decent one under 100 bucks? Don't need a huge capacity, just me and the wife.

Been thinking about this one: lookslikehomemade.com/cuisinart-dlc-10s-pro-food-processor-review/ 100 bucks and bed bath and beyond, and we have a 20% off coupon.

Any thoughts?

The giant evil corporation who funds my misguided antics has Ninja blendotrons for like $120....
and will take anything back anytime for any godawful reason.
(Hint: Hot dogs)

Wife researched food processors and ended up with a Cuisinart. She also has a Ninja. The Ninja makes great smoothies, but is way to fine for dressings, salads, etc

We have the Cuisinart DFP-14. Its more expensive, but my mom used hers for 20 years several times a week and my sister now uses it all the time and its not dead yet. Pretty sure the bowls and blades have been replaced at least once, but at least they are readily available. Also, there are a ton different blades.

We also have a Cuisinart Smartstick with the food processor attachment. I hate it due to its lack of power, but my wife likes it because its not as scary.

We've been happy with out Kitchen Aid processor. It was under $100.

If it's something you use regularly, don't skimp out. That's like going to Harbor Freight for your "good" tools. Spend the money on something good, and you'll probably only have to spend it once.

That said, Breville stuff is the Snap-On of the kitchen. The next time a tornado comes, I'm getting under our Breville juicer.

Aside from that, Cuisnart stuff is pretty solid.

I have a cuisenart. It's heavy as hell and will torque itself around on the counter.

Needs and LSX swap.

We have a Cuisinart Pro Classic which we have had for ~5 years and before that another Cuisinart that lasted 10 years before it got dropped and broken. We use the food processor 3-4 times a week for slicing vegetables, mixing dough, etc. and have had no problems with them.

The Ninja adds too much air to everything you blend in it

Well there was this V8 powered blender I saw on TV once . . .

For almond butter (and most things) I can recommend nothing more highly than my VitaMix. Trust me, worth it.

Blendtec

Just an FYI, the local market has a peanut and almond and cashew butter station where you make it fresh. They use special machines that are not food processors. Home versions are under $40. It's a thought.

We used to blow apart blenders, then stepped up to a Vita-Mix. They're expensive, but come with a 7 year warranty. We got ours used off Craigslist for $240 about 5 years ago. Still going strong.

I got a Cuisinart while in college in the 80's. Still have the same one. It's awesome.

+1000 on the Vita-Mix. SWMBO was going through food processors pretty quickly with some of the Asian food ingredients she was chopping up. Got the Vita-Mix and have had it a couple years now and no sign of wear. Even cooks soup from the friction of the blades. Tried it and it works. Yes expensive but still cheaper than buying multple food processors. We bought ours new with the extra container.

Yes, realize it's a blender but does handle food processing very well.

I can't speak for the DLC-10S, but the BFP-10CH we have is a steaming pile. It may be the exception, but it's a good argument for not buying something based on the brand name alone. It is now sitting on a shelf in the kitchen waiting for me to tear it down again to actually attempt to repair it, after tearing it down once already to figure out what the problem was. One word...plastic. My advice is to go to google and look for reviews for that model. If we had, we probably would have gotten something else.

Ninja...$120

Jesus tapdancing E36 M3balls!!! That's what the little green plastic piece of Chinese E36 M3in the cabinet cost??? You sir, have encouraged spousal abuse.

Grassroots wifebeating sports apparently. Not that there is anything wrong with a little spousal abuse now and then, right?

Guys?...

Right?

My dad's a serious amateur chef and has had one of the "Pro"-style Cuisinarts that looks very much like that DLC-10S for as long as I can remember. The thing's been used and washed so many times that the clear plastic parts are nearly opaque from years and years of handling and scratching, but it still works as well as when it was brand new.

I have a Mini-Prep, which is similar but smaller, and it's been great too, but I've only had it for a year or so.
