What kind of food processor works best to puree baby food?

If you make your own baby food, I would like to know what kind of food processor you have found that works best to puree food. Please don't tell me to get the Magic Bullet. It's too small. I'm making large amounts of food (like 6 large sweet potatoes, 2 pounds of peas, etc).

1. A blender actually works better than a food processor especially with the amounts you are talking about. A blender stick actually works very well with small amounts of cooked food; a little chunkier with fruit. Also, unless you have triplets, why would you make such huge quantities of food for an infant? Today's freezers actually don't keep frozen food as well because of auto-defrost, so it is kindof a waste of your time. You'll be throwing out food due to freezer burn.
2. lol.my first thought was magic bullet.thats what i used but i only made small amounts maybe 2-3 servings. you are a very organized/prepared person arent you?2 lbs of peas?im too lazy to prepare that much and seperate it.good for you! my friend used a food mill..from kidco i think.it was kind of small but she used it to make alot of food at once.
3. The KitchenAid KFP750 12 Cup Food Processor i found works well
4. I definitely recommend the KitchenAid KFP720. It has a 7 cup bowl which is large enough to handle the amounts of food you specified and a 3 cup bowl if there is ever anything you would like to make a small batch of (like the foods that aren't baby's favorite). I have been using it for the same purpose for a while now and am very pleased with the performance I have gotten, especially for the price I paid. It has an easy clean up and the size makes it easy to store as well.
