This is the exact food processor and recipe my wife and I use. We must use the food processor at least every 2 days if not more - it's amazing. I think the real key to mayo making is to make sure the oil is as cold as possible and to pour it in as slowly as possible. It was tough to find a compliant Dijon but I think we got ours at Target. Obviously you can replace the Canola with Olive Oil in the above recipe.
price history
A bog standard Cuisinart 8 cup food processor. I was allowed to pick it out so I had to decide between sizes. My view on it was bigger is better but lets not get crazy. I was right. I can comfortably grate four potatoes in one. You can go even larger but the price gets crazy and at some point doing it in batches wins against the hit to your wallet.
I checked a lot of threads on /r/cooking when picking it out and it was the overwhelming recommendation. I can see why. The only criticism I have of it at all is that in the case of shredding/grating, it results in very long one inch/2.5cm pieces. If we're talking cheese that's not a big deal but if its a potato then I have to remove it and give it a rough chop to get it down to a better size. But hell, I made a carrot cake with it last weekend and I'd rather use the food processor to do 80% of the work and a kitchen knife once over to finish than spend way longer doing it by hand.
I have a second criticism now that I think about it. Washing. You have to make a call when you use it. Is the time saved going to be less than the extra time washing the bowl, blades, and feed tube thingy? They're easy to wash but its still a thing you have to deal with that takes longer than the 10 seconds to wash your chef knife you'll use for everything else.
Bottom line - if I was given the choice to get one again I'd totally do it. It's very useful even though it's not perfect. I don't pull it out for everything but the things I do use it for I would hate not having it.
