Does anyone, along with their partner, have any preference wrt the utility of a Food Processor vs. a Stand Mixer? Kitchen Aid makes both and they are highly regarded.
I can only afford one, though.

I don't have a stand mixer, but my food processor gets good use.
And worth mentioning that if I had a stand mixer instead, it would not get as much use, for my tasks.

We have a stand mixer and a small food processor, they are different enough in the jobs they perform that both are very useful kitchen tools.

A mixer is a wrist saver, but I agree a small hand held is fine unless you do bulk breads or something like that. Food processors...I prefer a good knife. A little technique and you’re set just fine. We have mixes and processors, and I cook a lot, but I never use the processor.

My 5', 100lb almost 98 year old mother uses a wooden spoon and a small processor.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Kitchenaid Mixer. Love it. And a lot of good attachments can be used with it. (Pasta Maker, Spiralizer, Sausage Maker, etc) . I use the Mixer for breads, cookies, and it is stupid easy to use and clean. I never use my Food Processor. In fact, I found this device to be way more useful. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Maxam-KT...&wl12=25718628&wl13=&veh=semTo be clear: I don't have the one I linked to, but it is the device I use
