Kitchenaid Food Processor.

Black & Decker FP1600B 8-Cup Food Processor, Black
Perfectly slice, chop, mince, mix and shred your favorite foods with the durable stainless steel chopping blade or the slice and shredder disk.
Equipped with a powerful 450-watt motor, this exceptionally convenient food processor makes fast, easy work of a variety of food-prep tasks. Use it to slice, dice, chop, mince, grate, or puree just about anything. The appliance comes equipped with a large 8-cup-capacity work bowl that offers a generous handle and a continuous-flow feed chute with a pusher that accommodates onions (no more tearful chopping), green peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, cheese, basil, strawberries, and other fresh ingredients, whether making soup, homemade pizza, pesto, or a fruity dessert topping to pour over ice cream. Switch out the stainless-steel chopping blade for the reversible stainless-steel slicing and shredding disk, depending on the task at hand. Two soft-touch buttons--on and off/pulse--ensure simple operation. Other highlights include a safety interlock system for peace of mind, heavy-duty suction-cup feet to keep the machine in place during operation, cord storage, and dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup. Sleek and sturdy, the food processor measures 11-2/7 by 7-4/5 by 15-2/3 inches.

Good, but could have been better
I would have given this food processore 5 stars if it were not for two things:

1- They put a very sticky sticker on the blade warning you that it is sharp. The sticker is so hard to remove that you nearly amputate all of your fingers getting it off. (thanks again to all you attorneys out there who constantly create situations like this)

2- There is a small space behind the inlet shoot that jams with food and it is sometime hard to get it out. I use a butter knife. Other than this it is very easy to clean.

The unit is powerful and has done everything I needed it to.


Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor 
A perfect gift for new homemakers, the food processor has become an integral part of modern cooking, speeding up a multitude of processes, including kneading dough, slicing, chopping, shredding cheese, vegetables and meat, mincing garlic and parsley, mixing batters, and emulsifying mayonnaise. Cuisinart's Pro Classic comes with a 7-cup work bowl, four basic attachments for slicing, shredding, chopping, mixing, and kneading, and large feed tube. This processor comes with a compact cover for use when the feed tube isn't needed and a pulse control that allows the desired degree of fineness when chopping and puréeing. Remove the detachable stem for compact storage of discs. All the parts are dishwasher-safe and the motor base wipes clean. In addition, a custom-contoured spatula, a 50-page recipe booklet, and a 30-minute video designed to familiarize the new owner with the care and use of the food processor are included. --Victoria Jenkins

Useful for a number of chores in the kitchen
While I usually chop on a plastic cutting board with a big chef's knife, the Cuisinart makes several tasks a lot easier. Chopping cooked or raw meat is one. If you are making hash from leftover corned beef, a short burst in this food processor is the easiest way to go. For mixing certain pastry doughs (pie or pate brisee) this is also a very good item to have, although you have to be careful to go slowly and not overprocess. The one thing the Cuisinart does is heat up the dough if you whirl it around too much, so you have to be careful. And if you put too heavy a bread dough in, using the plastic bread blade, you can heat the shaft up enough to jam the blade onto the central post and that's a big nuisance. However, with these cautions, the Cuisinart is hands-down my favorite food processor and for shredding, slicing thinly or chopping, pretty much the best kitchen appliance for the job.

Best of the food processors
I owned this machine for over 25 years and it was wonderful -- did everything. It finally hit the bricks -- I immediately purchased another one -- enough said?
