Cleaning a food processor need not be painful, though it undoubtedly
depends on the model. The bowl, lid, and blade of ours will go into
the dishwasher; only problem is that the bowl tends to collect a bit
of water on the bottom, but a quick flip into the sink takes care of
that.

If the food being chopped contains no fat nor strong odor (carrots,
crackers, etc.) I give everything a quick rinse with the spray head
and let it drip-dry on the dish rack.

Our food processor gets used a *lot*.
