I've had my share of food processors over the years.  Usually they all perform decently, at least for a year or two.  Either they are such a pain to clean or some part breaks, that I tend to put them in the back of the pantry and never pull them out again.
Not with the Hamilton beach 12C.  Two years of nearly daily use and not a hiccup.  Easy to use and clean.  I've bought my last food processor.
