Looking for food processor with non-plastic container (i.e. stainless steel or glass), any options besides Robot Coupe? To be honest, practically everyone decent food processor has plastic containers so I can settle with one that has decent reviews but not necessarily proven BIFL yet. I know why plastic containers are so prevalent--they are cheap, lightweight, and good enough for the job. I'm just put off by the plastic scratches these containers always develop over time--plastic is relatively soft so it wears away into the food. It's not like stainless steel and glass aren't viable options--I know Robot Coupe has a stainless steel accessory but it's ridiculously expensive even for a used one (something like ~$500 for the container, ~$1.8k for the rest of the machine, used). I'm also not sure which model is most appropriate for the best home-use feature set vs. price point and that is compatible with the steel container)--any tips for shopping for a used one? At that price point, I expect it to be self-serviceable and parts-replaceable. I believe I came across a $20 Black and Decker food processor (or some other hardware brand not specialized in kitchenware) with glass bowl--just looking for a step above that. I thought about an immersion blender with a food processor attachment to use in whatever container I want, but from what I've read, pretty much everyone suggests it does an awful job and to not get an immersion blender with processor attachment if food processor is what you want. I've been cooking and getting by without a food processor but it really lengthens my prep time. I feel like Europe (Germany, Switzerland) or Japan would offer more options (I'm going to Japan this winter) as they tend to make niche but quality products.

Came here to say this, I have a basic vitamix that’s nearly 15 yro and I picked up a 3rd party container. Take a look at that as an option.
OP, good luck. I don't think I've seen anything that meets expectations. This is going be niche with a price point to match. Everyone saying blenders: not a chance. Blender blades are more for pulverization at very high rpms. Food processors actually cut at low rpms with high torque. No one is speccing out a motor in any device that can do both well. Oh but you've seen x? Junk. Bad at both use cases.
Exactly. No one needs a Robot Coupe in a domestic kitchen and once you go down the Robot Coupe rabbit hole you realise they don’t have an all in one machine like the Magimix. They are all quite specialised and making them more flexibile ends up in thousands of dollars of accessories. They are wonderful for commercial kitchens and wholly unnecessary for domestic ones. The Magimix is indisputably the best home food processor you can buy. I bought mine when my son was born 17 years ago so we could process food for him and it still get used several times a week. Hasn’t missed a beat. Powerful induction motor, long term support from Magimix (parts are available basically forever) and I have never given any thought to scratches on the plastic bowls. Scales up and down in size depending on which bowl you use and you only have to pick up the base to realise you are dealing with an item of exceptional quality.
You got me curious with this post, as we are trying to cut down on anything plastic for food due to microplastics. The Ganiza Food Processor with Dual Bowls (one stainless, one glass) looks good and has great reviews. I'm thinking hard about getting it at the current sale price.
If you are willing to concede on plastic bowls, Magimix are the consumer brand of Robot Coupe. They're made in france, I have the 5200xl and the thing is a tank, and the motor is guaranteed for 20 years and replacement parts are available (they rarely update models)
I got a Waring bar blender. Stainless steel, rubber lid. It also solved the issue with jug blenders where pressure builds up while you blend and forces liquid into bearings destroying them in months. I got fed up with that. Waring bar blender is expensive for what it is and has no safety interlocks or anything. Idk if it because is a commercial device or what so unsupervised kids probably not. I live in the uk so extra cost is added as ever as it comes across, its cheaper in the US.
Waring makes a stainless steel bowl.
Ganiza makes one, but it's one of those random Chinese brands so I sure as hell wouldn't trust it to be BIFL
What is your use case for it? Since you are willing to compromise features for glass, maybe get a blender instead? I know kitchenaid for example made glass jar blenders and they were a beast
