Buying Guide
FAQs
What size food processor should I buy for a large family or frequent entertaining?
Look for a capacity of 14 cups or larger, which lets you handle big batches of dough, sauces, or chopped vegetables without stopping. Models like the Breville Sous Chef 16‑cup and Ninja Professional XL (1200‑peak‑watt) provide ample bowl space and extra‑large feed chutes, reducing prep time. Smaller 7‑cup units are better for occasional use or limited counter space.
How important is motor power when comparing extra‑large processors?
Motor wattage determines how quickly the unit can tackle tough ingredients such as nuts, frozen fruit, or dense dough. The Ninja (1200‑peak‑watt) and Breville Sous Chef 16 (1450 W) are the most powerful, while Hamilton Beach and KitchenAid models sit around 450‑500 W, which is sufficient for most everyday tasks but may struggle with heavy loads.
What blade and disc options should I consider for versatility?
A good processor includes a chopping/mixing blade, a reversible shredding disc, and an adjustable slicer. Premium models like Breville and Cuisinart also add specialty attachments such as a French‑fry disc, dicing kit, or dough blade, giving you more precise cuts and the ability to knead dough without extra appliances.
How do the feed chute designs affect convenience?
Larger, multi‑part feed chutes let you drop whole fruits or vegetables without pre‑cutting, speeding up prep. The Ninja XL and Breville Sous Chef feature 3‑inch to 5.5‑inch chutes with pushers, while budget options like Hamilton Beach use a single 3‑inch chute that may require more pre‑slicing.
Is the warranty worth considering when choosing a processor?
Yes, especially for high‑price models. Cuisinart offers a 3‑year limited warranty on the unit and a 5‑year motor warranty, while Breville provides a 30‑year motor warranty, reflecting confidence in durability. Longer warranties can offset higher upfront costs by reducing future repair expenses.
Which models give the best value for money?
If you need power and capacity without a premium price, the Ninja Professional XL balances a 1200‑peak‑watt motor and 4‑in‑1 functions at a mid‑range cost. For those who want extra accessories and a longer motor warranty, the Breville Sous Chef 16‑cup offers high performance but at a higher price point, making it a strong value for serious cooks.
How easy are these processors to clean?
Look for dishwasher‑safe parts and built‑in bowl scrapers that reduce manual scraping. Hamilton Beach and KitchenAid feature snap‑and‑go bowl assemblies that simplify cleaning, while Breville’s removable blades and discs are also dishwasher safe. The Ninja’s reversible shredding disc and large feed chute can collect more residue, so extra rinsing may be needed.
Can I use these processors for dough and baking tasks?
Yes, but you need a dedicated dough blade or disc. The Ninja includes a dough blade, and both Breville and Cuisinart provide dough attachments among their accessory kits. Ensure the motor is strong enough—models with 600 W or higher handle kneading dough more consistently without overheating.
