Go for the Cuisinart. I gave the 2 quart model to my then GF, now fiance, and we both love it! Quiet (as quiet as a kitchen appliance can be), quick (30 minutes), and no hassle. Get the 2 vs the 1.5 quart as people complain that the 1.5 quart bin is not large enough and contents spill over. You can make some great fat free recipes if you really try and do research. However, the fat included stuff tastes soooooo much better. =)
