I purchased one similar to those "home pro" types. They are better than the all plastic type, but still have a lot of plastic, including the gears. Broke the gear after about 2 weeks of periodic use. Motor will whine, but blade doesn't turn.
I ended up buying a used "pro" off of Craigslist for $250. Even has sharpening stones to hone the blade during use. It's a Berkel 808 but warning ya, you gotta have the space for it, it's huge and heavy (all metal).
