My Cuisinart food processor bit the dirt before Xmas and I replaced it
in an after Xmas sale. I can see the progress they have made but like
you, it doesn't have to last long and I don't think it will have 45
years life in it. (I think it was around 45 years, it was the first
model they came out with in NA and nobody else was making food
processors then, I replaced the main blade at one point)

I am going to try vanilla icecream and frozen mango pieces, saw Jamie
Oliver do that it looked good.
