Someone I know is selling pretty much this food processor (slightly different model number, not much in it). She only wants £10 or so. Great! Except the reason being it doesn't actually work! It seems this is because the handle on the bowl is not locking into place. I phoned Kitchenaid and they can sell me a replacement 2.8 litre work bowl with matching black handle for £42. Now part of me really wants to go for it because the only food processor I have is my parents old one from the '80s, which is totally on its last legs, but £52 is a lot of money to chuck at a food processor when I'm quite skint and probably wouldn't even consider that amount if it weren't for the brand name and retail cost price. But furthermore, it no longer has any accessories except the basic blade.
What do you reckon? Is there anything really significantly good about one of these to make it worth shelling out on it, or am I being silly? Or does anyone have an old, broken Kitchenaid food processor with a black handle in this shape with a working bowl they'd like to flog me for significantly less than £42?! Got to be worth an ask... or maybe not...!
Thanks so much for any thoughts!
