Hi- I have a Sunbeam Oskar 3 cup food processor that is a hand me down from my Mother, and it is probably close to 30 years old. It still works, but the plastic on the cutting blade is peeling big time, and when I looked to see if I could get a replacement for it, it was going to cost me $15, which is too much money to spend on this machine. I've always wanted a four cup machine anyway. Cooks Illustrated likes the Cuisinart 4-DC Elite four cup one the best of all of the small ones. Does anybody have one and do you like it?
I use mine to make pesto and hummus, and occasionally chop up veggies. I use it maybe once a month. I don't use it enough to justify getting a large Cuisinart. Bed, Bath and Beyond has the four cup one for $44, and I think I might have a 20% off coupon. Thanks, Nancy
