I have the Kitchenaid 12 cup food processor. I use it with a slicing disc to slice potatoes for many recipes, Au Gratin, Fried Potatoes, Potatoes Galette. I also use it to make Coleslaw, and Salsa (try Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman's recipe..yummy). I also use it to make sauces and salad dressings. If you do a lot of cooking from scratch you might want to buy one. I like the Kitchenaid, but I am not impressed by the manual.
