Do you have a full-size food processor? Do you use it much? I ended up getting rid of ours during the baby puree-making days. It was just too big and bulky to have on the counter and prior to that, I had only used it for really intense recipes I never pictured myself having the time to make again. I gave it away and replaced it with a mini processor.

Now that DD is 4 and I actually have uninterrupted time to cook more, I am wondering if I should upgrade from the mini food processor.

Yes. I don't use it all that much, but I do use it some. I have a fair amount of kitchen storage, so it is worth keeping to me. If storage was at a premium, I would not consider it a necessity.

I have a full-sized one that I never use, and a Ninja which has a small food processor and a blender, which we use all the time. I think I'm going to get rid of the full-sized food processor and our second blender, since they're just collecting dust.

I have a full size one. I don't use it all the time, but I have always had enough cupboard space that I was fine with having it in the cupboard. I don't keep it out.

I also have a vitamix, and a kitchen aid. The vitamix gets used the most, then kitchen aid, then cuisinart.

We have a Ninja and love it!
