I don't think the food processor I have cost $50 ( I think I paid about
$70) but my impression is that anything cheaper will have a motor too
flimzy to last.

I have a Robot-Coupe RC2100 purchased about 4 years ago from Caldor
(East Coast Dept. store chain).  They also sold the RC2000 for about
$10 less but I opted for the chrome and heavier motor.  I use mine
extensively including french bread (the stickiest dough to hand mix).

I definitely prefer the RC to the more expensive Cuisinarts.
Cuisinarts in fact was originally RC but then subcontracted production
to the Far East.  Consider the difficulty in cleaning their work bowl
cover (in general, consider the difficulty of cleaning *any* processor
you might consider buying).

Perhaps others who don't mix dough can steer you to a cheaper model.
