Overview with the 10 best food processors from our test
Other kitchen appliances we tested
For our test of the best 10 kitchen machines, we tested 15 kitchen machines, food processors and kitchen mixers in detail. Below are the remaining tested models:
- KitchenAid Artisan Mixer we were lucky enough to test the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer. What a great kitchen mixer this is. However, the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer is not in the TOP-10 because the KitchenAid Artisan is only meant for kneading dough.
- Kenwood Chef Titanium Often up for heavy dough kneading? The Kenwood Chef Titanium is an excellent choice for heavy dough thanks to a very strong motor and dough hook, kneading heavy dough is child’s play. The Kenwood Chef Titanium is similar in design, features and build quality to the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer.

Food processor, blender or blender?
Food processor is the umbrella term of both kitchen mixers and food processors. The choice of a particular food processor depends on the preparation. What will you use the food processor for? Do you really need a food processor or will a blender suffice as well? Will you use it only for baking and kneading dough? Then opt for a kitchen mixer.
The differences
- Blender: mainly meant for making soups, tasty smoothies and vinegaraittes (if you want a solid blender you should choose a glass blender)
- Food processor: this depends on the type of food processor and its accessories but with a good food processor you can cut and/or grate vegetables or grind beans and/or nuts for example. Want to make homemade pizza, tastiest pies or pancake batter, for example? A food processor is the bestie option for these kinds of heavy-duty tasks, as well as for the slightly lighter ones.
- Kitchen mixer: a kitchen mixer is used for achieving whipped fluffy egg whites, whipping cream or mixing and kneading dough. So for simple baking tasks like whipping cream, this is an ideal appliance.
A powerful food processor is handy, but if you don’t use most of the functionalities, it just gets in the way.
Buying food processor, what do you pay attention to?
Buying an affordable food processor can be quite overwhelming. There are many different products: from food processors, stand mixers, kitchen blenders, dough mixers and hand mixers which again come with different accessories and functions. Below we explain briefly and simply which factors are important:
- Capacity: do you want a large or small bowl? With food processors, the size of the mixing bowl varies between 1.5 and 3.5 liters.
- Weight and dimensions: food processors are often larger than you think. Look carefully to see if the kitchen appliances will fit on the countertop or if you can store them. Do you have trouble lifting? Then buy a food processor that is lightweight. Keep in mind that accessories also take up space.
- Accessories: do the parts feel sturdy and can you easily change them?
- Cleaning: with a food processor, you have many parts and many nooks and crannies. Dishwasher-safe parts are easy!
- Build quality: under 100 euros you can count on moderate to reasonable build quality. If you want a sturdy food processor that will last for years, look for food processors within the 200 – 300 euro price range.
- Performance: will you use your food processor for grinding beans, nuts and other hard ingredients? Then choose a food processor with several speeds and a pulse function.
- Design: is it important to you that the design fits into the current style of the kitchen?
- Intensive use: are you going to use the food processor intensively? Then choose a food processor with good build quality and a motor that you can use for a long time (without a break).
Finally, check carefully that the blade comes to the edge of the food processor. This will ensure that all the vegetables are cut evenly.
What all can you prepare with a food processor?
How versatile a food processor is depends on the model and the accessories included. Below we explain different accessories in more detail:
- Cutting and grating discs: for vegetables, potatoes and salads.
- The dough hook: for kneading and stirring dough.
- Blender: for making sauces, smoothies, dressings and soups.
- Mixing bowl: for making hummus, falafel, pesto and nut butters.
- Whisk/whisk: for whipping cream and egg whites.
- Citrus juicer: for squeezing oranges and lime.
