$70 - $100 : Cuisinart DLC-10, (their smallest capacity).
I don't like the company for its price-fixing practices,
but the processor is definitely worth the price.
A very powerful motor and heavy-stable base, and
high quality steel blades.

Count this as another reccomendation of Cuisinart food processors. I have a DLC-10 (the smallest) and it is a great boon. The advantage of Cuisinarts (in my opinion) is in non-obsolescence. Many of the bowls, blades, etc. are interchangeable between models , especially if you move up in the price range. Cuisinart sells all the bowls, blades and acessories seperately, so if you ruin one (also unlikely) you can get a replacement. Have you tried to get a replacement food pusher for a sears or jc penney processor a year after it was bought? Not an easy task. Cuisinarts are also the heaviest-duty processors I have ever seen. They really sit still, no matter what you're mixing in them.

Count me as another Cuisinart supporter. I got one as a present about a year ago and love it. It appears to be built like a tank: two-year warranty on everything but the work bowl and the motor, (motor warranted for 30 years (not days, years) and work bowl for life), and generally excellent design and construction. It does everything claimed of it.

I also have a Cuisinart food processor. It's the DCL-8 Model. Every time I use it makes me feel glad I purchased it. I just wish I had more recipes that required a FP. The DCL-8 is the mid-size model. I have on occassion run out of bowl capacity. I would like to separtely purchase the larger bowl (of the DCL-7 model) and use it on mine. Does anyone know if this can be done? Ernie Arias AT&T Info Sys Lincroft, NJ

This is an endorsement of Sunbeam processors: I have the Le Chef model from several years back and it is at least as powerful as the bottom Cuisinart model (5 amps, which is good enough for everything I do), with a larger bowl to boot. They now have three models, a belt-driven model (boooo) with dinky motor which goes on sale at about $50; a high-priced jobby at about $175, and the comparable equivalent to mine, which runs about $100. I cook quite a lot, but I still wouldn't pay much more than $100 for a food processor: they are no panacea, although they are perfect for some things (creaming butter and sugar together for cookies, for example). The advantage of the Sunbeams is that they offer comparable quality at a lower price than the Cuisinarts.

I too vote for cuisanarts. I got one for christmas and use it for
everything from bread to mincing garlic, basil and parsley. Now, if
only they would invent a self-cleaning cuisanart...

p.s. I got the DLC-7 pro. The increase in cost (nothing to me, since
it was a present) seems to be well spent. The extra capacity
and the versatility of the blades are worthwhile.rt1tt@ihps3.UUCP (janis bell) (01/18/84)
Another vote for the Cuisinart DLC7-PRO. I don't know why I waited so long to buy it, but took advantage of a sale on impulse. It more than made up for its higher price the first time I was late for a company dinner and had a beauti- ful salad in five minutes. Also great around holiday time. One should also have a microwave to complete the kitchen. Janis Bell
