Don't buy the Cuisinart made in China...the plastic and weight tells it all. I still have my Magimix, made in France since the 70's and still works amazingly well. I just had to replace the bowl because of a small crack and found a bowl for another model of Cuisinart that did the trick with a minor adjustment.

I have exactly the same food processor with the Josef Schreyoog metal plate on the underside. I bought it at the Toronto Exhibition many years ago...I think in the seventies. I need a new bowl but can't get the exact one.
