For food preparation processing, the choice between two commercial food processors usually comes down to bowl size, motor power, and whether you want a used, accessory-ready machine or a new, larger all-in-one unit. The Robot Coupe R100 Plus and the 6L 1200W Stainless Steel Food Processor take two different approaches in a busy kitchen. The stainless steel chopper is built for high-volume prep, while the Robot Coupe offers a smaller processor with a blade and pusher system.
Quick verdict
If your daily prep involves high volume, the stainless steel chopper is the better buy because it is a new machine built for bigger workloads. If you want a machine for smaller batches, plan to add R100 cutting wheels, or prefer a commercial processor that is ready to use, the Robot Coupe R100 Plus is the smarter pick.

A closer look
Robot Coupe R100 Plus
The R100 Plus is a used, fully working unit from its original owner. It comes with the original manual, one cutting blade, and all feeder/pusher accessories shown, so it is ready to use out of the box. The combination processor runs at one speed plus pulse, which gives you straightforward control for mincing and chopping. The practical reason to choose it is the compact design and the ability to expand the accessory system: many more cutting wheels can be purchased for this model. The limitation is the condition. One pusher has a small plastic crack, the bowl has extra connection lock cutouts, and a repair modification permanently engages the pin so the bowl works in any position. It works, but it is a used machine with visible signs of handling.
6L Stainless Steel Food Processor
This new stainless steel chopper takes the opposite approach. Instead of a compact bowl, it gives you a large transparent bucket with ergonomic side handles and a top lid handle, so you can monitor big batches as they process. The construction is designed for rust resistance and easy maintenance. The reason to pick it is the combination of new condition and high-volume design: you get one machine that can move through large prep jobs quickly. The main limitation is the price. It carries the higher listed price of the two, so the extra cost only makes sense if you will actually use the larger bucket and the extra power. For light-duty or small-batch kitchens, the Robot Coupe is easier to justify.
Final choice by use case
Buy the Robot Coupe R100 Plus when you want a compact processor for small-batch or prep-station work, and when bowl size matters less than a ready-to-use unit. Buy the 6L stainless steel food processor when you need one new machine to power through big batches of vegetables, herbs, meat, fruits, and more.
