Food processors?

I'm trying to do more cooking from scratch and made a lovely curry last night, however the whole 'finely chopped onion' lark (other vegetables are available) is getting old very quickly so I was thinking of investing in a food processor to make chopping veg etc a lot easier.

I borrowed one from my parents and found it a bit rubbish if I'm honest and just turned the onion into a pulp, rather than 'finely chopped'.

I'm not sure whether my expectations are unrealistic or whether I used the machine incorrectly or of the machine was a bit old and blunt?

Can anyone recommend a decent food processor for beginners?

For clarity, I'm not looking to blend into liquids or anything, this is to save all the faff of fine chopping.

Thanks in advance.

I use my food processor to chop onions in bulk which I then open freeze using a small ice cream scoop. One lot of runny eyes.

My eyes will never get used to chopping onions. Once they started streaming when I saw Mary Berry chopping them on tv Confused.
