Small food processor, any ideas

I´ve always been hopelss at making pastry, so I thought I´d invest in a small food processor hopefully one that´s not too dear.
There´s only the two of us so I don´t want a huge family sized gadget, but something small that won´t take up too much room in the cupboard.
I don´t really know anything about what food processors can do so any things to look for on a machine would be helpful as well.

    Hi sandy,

    I can't recommend a small one but this older thread might give you some ideas of what people use theirs for:

    Well, I've ended up buying a wand blender thingy which can attach to a whisk and also a chopper gadget in a bowl, which hopefully I can use for pastry. the food processors I saw were all too big

    Don't know if you have a lidl near you, but I just bought a hand-held blender/chopper/whisk there last week and I think that I paid £9.99 for it. They may still have some left if you look. They are bifinett, and have a 3 year waranty.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
