R 2 Dice

Depends on if they get used -- and how often. For me, the "worth it" appliances are: * Robot Coupe R2 Dice with all the attachments (there are two kinds of food processors -- Robot Coupe and "less than.") * BlendTec blender * Robot Coupe or Vitamix stick blender (big price difference here -- the Robot Coupe is superior, but at a hefty price increase) * Kitchenaid (or better yet Hobart) stand mixer with at least the grinder attachment if not others * PolyScience Sous-Vide pro * MoccaMaster and LaPavoni coffee makers * Zojirushi or Cuckoo rice cookers My coffee grinder is no longer made. So I bought a couple burr replacements. It is unlikely to ever die.

Robot Coupe R2 Dice. Be sure to get the Dice model. It has a longer shaft. A regular R2 can't dice and can't be made to dice. Salsa in seconds. There are two kinds of food processor: Robot Coupe. And everything else. Absolutely peerless. Also, easily the most used appliance in my kitchen, followed by a stand mixer.

When I was a chef, every restaurant used the [Robot Coupe](https://a.co/d/e8pxu81).

My only experience was with the restaurant version. Thanks for informing me about the home brand!

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

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
