I was so excited the day I could finally afford a real, full-size food processor. The problem is that "full-size" equals big, and while I haul it out for big projects, it's too much of a hassle to do so daily. That's why I love the dainty 3-cup Hamilton Beach processor, which sits out all the time. I've come to rely on it for my day-to-day needs, and I probably chop garlic in it once a day. It was only $25 when I bought it, but it's now $13.99, making it almost silly to pass up.
While three cups sounds measly, it is perfect for a few key tasks. The aforementioned garlic chopping takes only moments; a handful of herbs from the garden gets shredded quickly; and I can get a whole onion in there with no problem. It's particularly fantastic for making dried spice blends quickly.

Get Deal $14.40 at Amazon $24.95 Save $10.55 This mini processor is only 8 inches tall, so it fits anywhere. You can throw the parts in your dishwasher, but I find a quick rinse is all that's usually needed. Unlike my full-size processor, there's no complicated assembly you need to complete to get the machine to turn on. You just press down for a few moments, you get a nice chop, then dice. Leave it longer and you get puree. Add fat like olive oil (there's a small hole in the top), and you get emulsification. It's powerful enough that I can whip small amounts of butter and get through any nuts I've tried.
I wish there was more to say about this adorable appliance, but it simply works, and costs next to nothing.
