I'm really having trouble getting any input on the topic of which food processor and which non-$400 blender to purchase...you know, for the raw food thing. I ordered my dehydrator and my spiral slicer and I bought a cuisinart mandoline, it wasn't too expensive but really nice, and I'm going all out for this I've decided to make it an investment in success--so be it, I'm on 0% for 6 months, LOL.

Do you know anything about either food processors or blenders? I just need some common sense advice and I've posted to all the groups w/ no responses, raw foodists must not like to talk about equipment with newbies? If you have any insight I'd truly appreciate as I've no knowledge of either of these pieces of equipment and the specs seem meaningless to me, email me if you like/have time to do so.
