Dulouz: I did a lot of research on this topic recently and went the the Magimix 3200XL. Magimix is the domestic version of the Robot coupe which is the standard in commercial kitchens.
heylinb4nz: Being a bit of a foodie and home chef I can recommend the following items INSTEAD of a food processor. They will take up less space and most importantly you will use them more. (note: I also used to sell appliances for a living and have owned every kitchen gadget imaginable)
1) Decent stick mixer (Braun !)

This is going to do most of what you need it to do (mixing cakes, icing etc, whipping, chopping, puree etc etc).
2) Decent set of knives http://www.home-essentials.co.nz/Global_Ikasu_7_Piece_Knife_Block_Set-b-details.aspx.
I run this set at home and use them daily, great sharp knife, easy to manouvre and make short work of everything you throw at them.
+ a Tojiro ceramic whetstone to keep them sharp $60
+ bamboo chopping board ($40-50 Briscoes)
We do own a Kenwood food processor as well, its been used about twice in over a year, once to make a bulk lot of vege soup, and once to make a cake.
Food processors take up alot of space require lots of cleaning and disassembly, realistically unless you are doing bulk bulk stuff, it wont save you any time over regular day to day cooking requirements.
Geektastic:trig42: I'd have to recommend Magimix. We have had one that gets regular (at least twice weekly) use for the last 12 years. One bowl replacement. Great machine.
I think it is a Magimix 3100, new model is the 3200 I think?
I worked in a number of professional kitchens and Magimix was always the choice there. A friend here (chef) runs cooking classes and would not buy anything else.
