Robot-Coupe - R 2 N Ultra

This might not be realistic for you (I dunno your life/finances): Robot Coupe. They're pricey - if you can find a used one, they can be cheaper. They are generally made for restaurants who will use them heavily and the price reflects that. I bought a robot coupe food processor several years ago (I got a used one from a guy who owned a restaurant that was closing). It's hands down the only food processor I have owned that actually does what it's supposed to do. All the other ones are cheap underpowered crap, and I've owned a lot of them. Downsides: It weighs 27 lbs. You do have to replace the blades and bowl once every so often (my guess is once/decade). If you splurge on the metal bowl I think it will last forever. Upside: you will give this to your kids. Or whoever if you don't manage to make babies.

Robot Coupe if you’re rich. Their “home model” if you’re not. Magimix or something. I have a robot coupe. It weighs 27 lbs and has a 1 horsepower engine. It will someday go to my kids. I got it on fb marketplace for less than it should have cost.

Robot Coupe R2 Ultra. Its what they use in restaurants, and is essentially unbreakable. Will last you forever in a home setting

Robot Coupe R2U. It is fantastically durable but also kind of silly expensive. The slicer attachment is okay, not exactly amazing. Definitely recommend the coarse serrated blade. Our stainless bowl had some sharp edges here and there and I softened those with a stone to make washing it easier.

I have had at least half dozen food processors over 50 years. The best, by far, is the Robot Coupe. I have had two. I got my first as major present from my grandmother when I was in college. I had to get another after my divorce (the ex-wife got it). Yes, very expensive. Lots of power, everything goes in a dishwasher, just works, indestructible. Your kids will be fighting on who gets to inherit it. I have had disappointments with a variety of Cuisinarts and Kitchenaids over the decades. I really tried to like them but I alway lusted after my Robot Coupe. Finally a decade ago I splurged and got one again for me. No regrets.

I'll agree on robocoupe and Hobart, but waring shit is garbage. I've seen two relatively new waring blenders and a food processor die from normal use and they all kind of sucked before they died.

A robocoup will last years. I worked with one that was dropped so many times the plastic that the outside was made of was cracked in multiple places and the safety didn't work, and it would still do anything I wanted it too

Unless you are VERY rough with your possessions, you likely won't need replacement parts. They are available from multiple places online and in person (restaurant supply stores),however. Though they are not cheap

Then yes the robocoup is amazing

Robot coupe or their residential side - Magimix A good ol’ cuisinart is a good choice too. The other box store brands are toys. Don’t even consider them.

Robot Coupe The original and the best.

It is a product that is worth spending more on. The more you spend the longer it will last. As far as a recommendation, I've had a Cuisinart in my home use for about 15 years and I use it fairly often, still works great. I've never used anything other than a robot coupe in a professional kitchen and they are very reliable, but probably out of budget. However, if you're just getting into cooking you probably don't need one. Use the money you would've spent on a budget food processor and get a few nicer tools.
