My ancient food processor is at death's door. I know I will need to replace it sooner rather than later. Does anyone have a food processor they absolutely love? What should I be looking for? Thanks.

It may not be a traditional food processor but I love my ninja. It replaces my food processor and blender all at once ;)

I like the Ninja too! Also have like a little food chopper that is about 2 cups in size that I use for mashed cauli ect. ;D but I am usually only cooking for me versus a family like many others so it works for me

I have the ninja that has the three different sizes ;) It might be time to get me a new one soon...LOL summer is around the corner and that thing gets a workout with FTS shakes ;D ;D

Hi Mark! :)
Here's a Google link to the one I have;

I've had mine for over a year and a half, and it still runs like new! 8)
More than worth its price! ;)

I have always been a kitchenaid girl but I bought a black and decker food processor from walmart for my camper and I LOVE IT!! Works just as great as my kitchenaide.It was $28 instead of $85 . :)

Thanks everybody. Reading your replies brings up another question, not so much food related, but... I know the motor in the Ninja is like 1100 or 1200 watts. Looking at the other food processors, their motors range from 350 to 600 watts. Now, I don't want to drive the thing around the block, but I want something powerful enough to shred a block of hard cheese without stalling out. I assume I should look at the 500 - 600 watt models. Opinions?

Hi Mark! :)
Many of the more expensive models with the more powerful high wattage motors are faster at heavy shredding jobs.
My processor doesn't stall out shredding hard cheese if I don't force it.
Any processor will stall if too much is shoved in it too quickly.
So, if you don't mind being a bit more patient, it could save you $$$ ;)

That's what I was thinking as well, Tony. It's just nice to get a second opinion. Walmart, here I come.

I love my kitchen aid :) http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=202638 (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=202638) for $99 bucks it's hard to beat ;)

When mine does finally die, I'll try the 7-Cup KitchenAid.
KitchenAid has made quality appliances for many years! :)

Hi Everyone:
Has anyone had any experience with the "Nutribullet"? Its not a juicer but rather it grinds all the veggies down to a small particle size. It removes nothing so all the fiber is there but in a very fine size that is drinkable.
I just bought one after seeing the TV ad for it. I have never bought from a TV ad before but got this for about 80$ after a 20 off coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond.
Anyway, I've had it a few days and so far so good. It makes really good green smoothies. Add a few raw almonds, flax seed and it quickly made a pretty good drink.
It did a great job of grinding everything into a very smooth drinkable liquid.
Lets see how it goes but so far I like it.
Anyone else have one?
Thanks
steve

Hey Steve Welcome to the forum :)
I can't say that I have tried that one but I do have the Ninja which I dearly love ;D I'm a gadget girl through and through Haha I'll have to check that one out ;)
A word of caution though...be careful with drinking your carbs. They can add up quickly in a smoothie. Again welcome to the FTS family....I wish you great success in your journey.

Welcome to the forum, Steve. I have an old-fashioned blender but I agree with Shawn about drinking your carbs. Do it carefully. Having the fiber left behind will help.

Welcome to the forum Steve :) I am Umpa,Dougs wife if I can help you please ask. You are gonna do great! ;)

I just saw the infomercial on the Nutribullet. It looks great. I want to challenge people to come up with low carb ideas to use this machine. I keep hearing about green smoothies and how they are so good for you. I think I am going to get one and experiment! ;D
