Recently broke the main blade on our food processor.
Replacement parts are unavailable.
KW715708 is the blade, but everywhere is out of stock.
So I’m looking for a replacement that is known for keeping parts available for years.
BIFL crew, what are your recommendations?
If you have the budget, probably the best option is Robot-Coupe
The motors are measured in HP (Horse Power), not watts. And you can get one with a stainless steel metal (not plastic) bowl.
I highly recommend the Cuisinart 14-cup Food Processor.
You can find them used for $100-$300. I think the new ones are probably be fine, but it might be safer to get one manufacturered before 2021, when Cuisinart was bought by Conair. And probably avoid the ones with riveted blades, since in 2016 there was an issue where the blades broke apart, and people were injured by eating small pieces of metal.
The smaller 3-cup one is decent, but I broke it making peanut butter. It’s really not designed for that kind of abuse. So I wouldn’t recommend it.
But these 14-cup ones are tanks that will last generations. You can buy replacement parts. And there’s loads of used ones, so you should be able to get spare parts for generations.
So nothing at all then; all food processors are shit?
In 3 days you’ve not had a single upvote, downvote, or comment. That seems highly unusual. Perhaps try posting the question again?
