I have a full-size Cusinart that I LOVE and would replace in a heartbeat, but I also have a Cusinart immersion blender that has a small food processor adapter. It's about 3 cups, so smaller than a standard food processor, but it works great! I have been reaching for this to make baby food rather than my old machine because it is so much easier to clean. If you are on a budget and are okay with something small, you might want to look into this.
