This is an endorsement of Sunbeam processors: I have the Le Chef
model from several years back and it is at least as powerful as
the bottom Cuisinart model (5 amps, which is good enough for everything
I do), with a larger bowl to boot.  They now have three models,
a belt-driven model (boooo) with dinky motor which goes on sale at
about $50; a high-priced jobby at about $175, and the comparable
equivalent to mine, which runs about $100.

I cook quite a lot, but I still wouldn't pay much more than $100 for
a food processor: they are no panacea, although they are perfect for 
some things (creaming butter and sugar together for cookies, for 
example).  The advantage of the Sunbeams is that they offer comparable 
quality at a lower price than the Cuisinarts.
