The Best Processors, Mixers and Blenders chosen by Chefs

No real surprises here.

The best food processors, mixers and blenders – chosen by chefs

I think though as they’re commenting on their own equipment some of which will be quite old that it can’t really take into account the changes in quality with brands like Kitchen Aid.
Still it’s worth a glance.

Only American brands are available over here; there's no Magimix, Bamix or Kenwood in sight. Thermomix is eye-wateringly expensive at over 1,000 quid.
Cuisinart are very good indeed and I could probably pick one up for around $150-$200. We've got a Kitchenaid stand mixer, which we use for cakes and bread, and my Cusinart spice grinder is the best I've ever had (I've gone through about half a dozen in the past 25 years, and this one has been with me for 8!).
I'm currently on the lookout for a new processor, so that I can make loads of falafel and vadas. The one I was given last Xmas is, unfortunately, not fast enough and therefore doesn't reduce the chickpeas/split peas to breadcrumb consistency.

I remembered you were after one hence the post but not a lot of use if they’re not available in Venezuela
Cuisinart sound a good bet.
