Best Food Processors With Reviews

Needlessly skeptical.... When I opened the box and removed the unit my first thought was oh, this is going back...however, after assembling it I decided to give it a chance. That was a good choice...and so is this little food processor. I was totally surprised at the speed with which it chops, slices, etc. It packs some power that's hidden in its compact size. I've been using it over and over again since then. As far as quantity, well, if you have a larger quantity than it can hold in the jar after slicing its easily emptied and ready for more and does it quickly. I have a larger Cuisinart but love that this one is truly lightweight and comfortably fits in my kitchen cabinets (hate clutter on my countertops). Clean up is a breeze too! So, between my new 3qt Instant Pot, my 4 cup Food Processor and B&D Toaster that were all recently purchased from Wayfair (quick delivery on all !), I have to send out a BIG THANK YOU for having a great line of appliances.

I really didn't expect to get my order so quickly. When I opened the box and turned it on to see if it worked I got crazy I put it food processor through its paces. I love baking and this rascal came in handy. I was able to use it to shred carrots for my carrot cake and I mixed a pie crust in it while I was busy with other things. It's so easy to use and the motor is pretty heavy duty for all the things I've had this processor do. I love it.

At first I didn't like it because it seemed to sling stuff to the bottom sides of the bowl below the side scrapers reach and had decided to return it. Later I decided to give the slicer and grater blade a chance and was very happy with the results so I decided to try the chopping blades again. Now that I've kind of mastered it, I find that I go to it more often than I thought I would when I purchased it. The main problem I had was learning just how long to chop or use the pulse function to get the texture I wanted before turning everything into puree LOL. Most everything will rinse right off so it's easy to clean and I don't bother putting it in the dishwasher since I always use the sanitation wash and dry cycles (which is recommended not to do by the manufacturer for the washable parts). I think it's an excellent value for the price and very glad I bought it.

The Farberware Pro costs less and works just as well as my Pampered Chef chopper that I had for only a few years. Hmmm I think I’ll stick with the Farberware.

Although my husband and I agreed not to exchange gifts this holiday season, I was surprised to see this big box beautifully wrapped in red foil paper. He was inspired to purchase the slicer, shredder and spiralizer after hearing me struggling with a manual spiralizer. I immediately went to my recipe file to find a recipe for spiraled vegetables. It's so effortless. I love it.

I wholly enjoy my 7-Cup Pro Classic, and have probably used it at least three-dozen times since purchasing late February 2025. The wattage, work bowl size, and functions meet my current food processing and preparation needs. Moreover, the dimension is ideal for my kitchen: galley-style in a 600 square foot NYC apartment. Overall, I am rating the product four stars: it is reliable, easy to clean, holds power when fully-loaded, and it is intuitive to operate. Since purchasing the processor I have also purchased the blade storage case and dough blade. I choose four stars based on a few observed limitations. First, I have not (and do not plan to) wash the work bowl or bowl lid in the dishwasher. I read enough reviews that repoterd warping of the plastic due to heat; I’m stuck with handwashing out of precaution, which I do not mind, but is a limitation if the machine is used frequently. Second, this processor is the first I have personally owned, but the second I have directly used. My family owned a 14 cup Professional Classic which I used while growing up. I recall the plastic of the work bowl being thicker (on the order of 1-2 additional millimeters) and therefore more durable. On the contrary, the plastic on the 7 Cup Classic models feels brittle and more easily warped. I cannot be sure of the dimensions being different, but I act out of an abundance of caution when using the work bowl and lid. This is easy to manage, but points to a lower overall durability of the machine where design adjustments could solve long-term issues. I expect that the work bowl or lid will break from normal use long before the motor dies. I strongly recommend the 7-Cup Pro Classic. For comparison, I chose this model over KitchenAid 7 and 9 Cup processors (quality complaints and poor lid/bowl design) and the Cuisinart Core Custom 10-Cup processor (user complaints with the drive system being plastic and lower overall power ratio).

This might sound silly, but I get a little thrill putting an onion or other item down the shoot and having it chopped or grated way smaller, in a flash; its like magic. I do not like the part that it takes longer to clean soft cheeses out of the grates than to grate it, so I just do the whole two pounds at once and save it. My other "gripe" is the extra blades cost quite a bit. But I do think its worth it, when you divide up the time it takes. And how much better something is when it can be chopped up finely. Say, chicken meat. It pulverizes it so small, way smaller than I could do with a knife--for chicken salad. Or drop some brussel sprouts and shred them into a salad. Or make the pieces extra fine for salsa flavors to meld. I am a health conscious person, and a semi-foodie, so that means cooking at home quite a bit, but I do not want to be tied to the kitchen and to cleaning time. This cuts prep time down tremendously. It was a practical decision and investment.

I haven’t had a chance to use this yet but it feels very solid and the bowl looks to be quite large. Looking forward to using this to do small chopping jobs where a conventional processor is overkill. Taco Tuesday Ole! Review update this works really well. I make salsa all the time and really just needed a processor for that specifically. I had a tendency to make enough salsa for the city using my large processor. Guess my eyeballing skills need some work. This processor made the perfect amount to last for several breakfast tacos and for a chip dip dinner appetizer for two. Just right like Goldilocks) Just an FYI. Foods unfortunately splash into the motor connection point. It is very, very difficult to clean it especially if you don’t do it right away. Just a tip. I still love it otherwise.

We replaced the previous model of this little 1.5 cup chopper with this newer version. We used the old one for probably 5-6 years, multiple times daily, and it finally pooped out. The newer model is a super good improvement, just as useful and handy, but quieter (by a lot) and much easier to assemble for use and take apart for washing. Our primary use of this little guy is to puree cat food for our nearly toothless elder kitty. This chopper makes fast work of the little 3 ounce cans of cat food so that we do not have to totally rely on finding the pate' version of her foods. It really smooths out chunky textures. I occasionally "borrow" it to chop or puree people foods, and it does a great job. As far as I'm concerned, it's a winner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great and affordable food processor. Here are some pros and cons about the product. It's small and easily fits on a counter or can easily be stored in a small out of the way spot, like cabinets. It's easy to pick the unit up and maneuver it with 1 hand. Super easy assembly: didn't read any of the instructions and easily got it put together and used it successfully. If you're ever used a food processor, you won't have any issues with this one, either. It also seems to cut through things pretty easily and with the two blades, you can chop, slice, or grate. It easily does all the things you expect from a food processor. Although I like the product, because the unit is so light, there's suction cup feet to hold it in place during use. It's great while you're running it (w/out the feet it would likely dance about on the counter), but a little bit of a pain when you want to move it. You have to intentionally "unstick" the feet to get them to break the suction to pick up the unit off the counter. Second, The way the lid is designed, there's a space between the chute you put in the food and the rim of the lid where food gets caught while you're processing. It's just small enough that you have to use a knife or other thin item to push the food back out. Not hard if you do it while the foods fresh, but would be problematic if you waited to clean up the lid til you were done cooking and the food dried on. Overall, I recommend this product to my friends and family.
