While I second the breville recommendation in general, I have the Breville food processor. It's lovely and does everything, but it's not heavy enough. It's heavy, but lacks the real weight it needs to counter its serious motor. I have to hold it while using it, which makes it cumbersome.
It does an excellent job, especially at grating and slicing with its adjustable disc, but it annoys me enough that the blender gets used as a food processor more often than it should.
I honestly can't say I've experienced that.
It might be that newer or different models are lighter, like I said, mine is over 10 years old.
Or it could be down to something goofy like your countertops being smoother than mine (not unlikely, I have some shitty laminate counters that are pretty beat to hell)
Don't know for sure. It's the 1000w, 12 cup model. It mainly has issues when I'm chopping something dense with the standard blade.
It won't jump off the counter, but if I don't have a hand on it, it will shift and try to "shake" walk away.
Mines a 16 cup model, so that could be the difference.
I don't think mine has ever moved at all when I'm using it, and I've done just about everything you could ever want to do with a food processor.
The only time I've seen it struggle with anything was when I had it almost full of ground beef to make homemade hot dogs. It got it done, but it wasn't happy about it, and I'm pretty sure that emulsifying that sort of quantity of meat would be a struggle for any machine that could reasonably fit on a countertop.
