My 20 year old Cuisinart food processor just died. I have found over the
years that I got it out less and less often because it was so heavy and a
pain to clean. So I have thought about not replacing it but think I probably
will miss it and need to.

I have also considered getting a small one but don't know if those are
really useful or not.

I have read that Cuisinarts aren't as good as they used to be (is this
true?) and that maybe Kitchenaid is a brand I should look at.

Since I will probably have whatever I buy for many years I was hoping to get
some advice and suggestions before I buy.

I love my Magimix. I have the big one (the 5100), but they do come
smaller. They also have mini-bowls for tiny things!
