No kidding, Lacey. I started shopping for food processors a while back (which is how this little appliance caught my eye in the first place). But then, I realized that I'd want a good one, not a cheap one, and I'd be spending $100+ on it. And I've survived without one for 31 years, right?

I want to be able to grind meat, but I was thinking about getting the meat grinder attachment for my kitchenaid mixer instead of a food processor. Then, I can continue limping along with my new slicer/shredder, plus the blender, and the meat grinder. Then, I've got things that do most of what a food processor does anyway.

I need to get together with a group of ladies that share small appliances. That makes the most sense.

tough call. it was marked down so much it is probably worth it to hang on to if you will use it every so often. i wish i had a food processor, juicer, magic bullet... they are all soooooooooo expensive!!!! booo.

It's a TINY bit smaller than a full-sized food processor, but it has about the same footprint. It's definitely lighter. I've never actually owned a food processor before, I have always just worked around my lack of one.

We have shelves in the basement that store our lesser-used small appliances, as well as our spice-overflow. So, we do have room, I suppose. We even have room if we add a food processor, too. I could probably ditch the giant steamer that we never use.

Is it smaller than a food processor and can you keep it a relatively easy to access location?

For only $10, I think it's worth it even if you only use it during times that you don't really feel like dragging out the food processor IF you have room for it. I use my food processor fairly regularly but there are definitely times I leave it in the cabinet because I just don't want to fool with it. I don't have space for another appliance though either.
