    I have a 15 year old kenwood food processor and use it to:
    mix cakes
    whisk eggs
    whisk cream
    finely chop carrot / onion / celery / any vegetable
    grate carrot / onion / celery / any vegetable
    blitz old bread into breadcrumbs
    make crumble topping
    slice carrots (or any other vegetable)
    grate cheese
    made purees when weaning
    made lumpy (not quite totally pureed) food when weaning
    use the jug to make smoothies
    blitz soup smooth
    blitzed up and mixed mince with veg to make burgers
    blitzed up beans and veg to make veggie burgers

    I really need to get to grips with the dough hook tool and other bits and bobs it came with :)

    I use mine all the time

    Curry sauce, it slices the onions and turns the garlic and ginger into a paste

    Dough hook, really does a great job kneading dough

    Making pastry, blends the fat to the flour

    Cheese grating

    All vegetable slicing

    Biscuit making

    Butter making

    Basically anything that makes my life easier. Mine sits on the counter and is used near enough daily

    Mines on the counter too. Most of my gadgets are though, as no room in the cupboards!
