Robot-Coupe - CL52E

That's good to know. I'm expanding my brew pub (tiny "kitchen") to a spot with a full kitchen and picked up a CL 52 at auction with a bunch of discs for $500. Hoping it's a workhorse.

For large.. robocoupe but they come at a price but will last forever and are fixable

Robot Coupe. Real professional grade machine. Second place, a Cuisinart Custom 14.

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

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.

This is the only answer. Everything else is trash by comparison. Unless like Vitamix makes food processors now or something, but I'd still 100% go with robot coupe.  There are refurbished ones available if they're out of OPs price range and honestly I would feel comfortable with a refurbished one. 

Agree with this. It is industry standard and Robot Coupe will also service it and provide spare parts forever. No need to worry about plastic bowls either. Stainless steel bowl. If you want a more domestic focused alternative, Magimix are made in France and very reliable.

Get an RC. Even when they break, they still work. It's worth it. 

The answer is always a Robot Coupe. Don't look at the price
