Food processor

Can anyone recommend a food processor? I'd like one that can grind (eg nuts, chick peas), and whisk (cake mix, egg white), and blend (soup) and ideally knead, though that isn't essential.

All I have at the moment is a blender and a mini grinder so the world of food processors is a closed book to me. I'm imagining the sort of thing where I throw in flour butter sugar and egg and out comes cake mix; and where I throw in chick peas and onion and out comes falafel mix. This may be just a fantasy......

I have a Magimix, and it's great for many things, but I don't use it as much as I used to. I used it all the time for pastry and biscuits, but now mix them by hand. I still use it for grating quantities of cheese, carrots etc, Also use it for grinding nuts and making breadcrumbs. I've made falafels in it.

I use a stand mixer for whisking, cakes, pasta and juicing (attachments). I use a stick blender for soups. You could use a food processor for these things, but I find I get better results from a mixer.

I have a kenwood, only one I’ve ever had. I’ve never used it for baking as I have a wonderful cheap as chips hand mixer, but I make falafel often with the food processor and it’s great for stuff like nuts - I used it to make baklava.
