Question

Char Nolan

I have my eye on a re-furbished Robot Coupe (2.5 liters). Thoughts?

Answer

Yes, I would say do it. So I have a Robocop. I don't know if you can see it over here. This is the container. It's amazing. So again think about this as the Vitamix version. of a food processor. It's really wonderful. I use it very frequently. You don't use it for small quantities, but I have had mine. I bet for 25 years. I haven't had a minute trouble with it.
