Do I need a food processor, and which one is best?

[Goodwitch9]

Do I need a food processor and if so which one? I quite enjoy cooking but will admit a lot of chopping or grating really puts me off! I'm not very mechanically minded so something fairly straightforward to use would be good.

I love my Kenwood which I’ve used several times a week got over 10 years. I recently got a new blade for about 6 quid as it was getting a bit blunt.

Yes, cuisinart!

I recently replaced our Magimix with a Sage and absolutely love it

I’m in the Thermomix cult. Ridiculously expensive but amazing.

Before I had a Kenwood, and it worked well. I think the key is to find one you are happy to have out and on the counter. I always found the getting Ken out of the cupboard, putting everything in place a faff and sometimes it was just quicker to grab a grater and do it that way.
