Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor DLC-10SYP1

I make almost all my meals from scratch, have a food processor, and only use it for making hummus. But the one I have should last me a lifetime. It's really simple, powerful, big enough, not crazy expensive: [Cuisinart Food Processor](https://a.co/d/cMarnhc)

The older models have stronger motors

I just bought a Cuisinart 7 cup food processor at the thrift store today for $5! I also got a Breville centrifuge juicer for $7.50. It was a good thrifting day.

I've had the same Cuisinart Pro Classic 7 Cup Food Processor for about 10 years now. I use it a couple times a week. I've made just about everything you can imagine with it. It has a nice strong motor and is not too big so it's easy to store. It is a bit heavy due to the heavy duty motor, but that's not a bad thing.

have you checked out Cuisinart? the ones in their classic line are pretty durable and can handle nut butters like a champ. just make sure to get one with a decent wattage, it’ll save you a lot of headaches.

I have the smaller cousin to this, the 7-cup model. And it's been really great. I may need to do larger jobs in batches, but that's really no worries. I just found out about grating parmesan with it; total game changer. So that's an option for a smaller price tag, but it's true it's a smaller model too.

I have the one on the left. Love it! Replaced it with a Ninja to do smoothies, and miss the Cuisinart. The Ninja overheats easily, but I could run the Cuisinart continuously to make tahini.
