Best OverallA blender that doubles as a food processor with discs, a smoothie bowl cup and a to-go cup. The parts list is long, so plan cabinet room for every attachment.
A large-capacity processor that longtime Cuisinart owners keep repurchasing for its reliability, though a handful of buyers hit units that failed to engage or work properly.
A well-liked small processor for quick chopping and grinding jobs, with reviewers specifically noting it holds up even for users with limited hand strength.
A compact processor reviewers describe as surprisingly powerful for small daily chopping jobs, with the main downside being a hold-to-run button rather than an on and off switch.
The 14-cup bowl and 720-watt motor pay off if you actually cook in volume - dips, dough, batches of vegetables for a crowd.
A genuinely heavy duty processor for large batches, though the recurring bowl lock pin failures and one serious safety report are worth weighing against its capacity and five year motor warranty.
A compact cordless chopper for quick onions, herbs and salsas anywhere in the kitchen, with a removable battery that charges by USB-C. Runtime per charge is short, so big prep sessions need a recharge.
A pull-cord chopper for onions, garlic, nuts and salsa in small batches without electricity. The bowl is small, so big prep jobs need several rounds.
A commercial combination processor for a kitchen that dices, slices and grates vegetables in volume and also needs a bowl for purees and dough. It runs at one speed, and the listing contradicts itself on dishwasher safety.
A commercial-grade processor from an established restaurant equipment brand, with its one available review confirming solid build quality on arrival.
Popular PickA large food processor with a true dicing kit and a powerful induction motor for cooks who prep in volume. It is heavy and comes with many parts to store.
A metal-bodied planetary mixer for bakers who knead bread and pizza dough and whip cream in volume. It is rated for a high voltage supply, so check your outlets before ordering.
A compact food processor for small kitchens that stores its blades inside the bowl and slices, shreds and kneads with precision. The bowl size suits everyday cooking more than big-batch prep.
A small two speed chopper for salsa, hummus and dressings with a drizzle basin and a collectible red finish. Check the voltage on the listing before ordering, as it is not a standard US voltage.
A durable, no-frills processor built for people who process food often and don't need slicing or shredding attachments in the same machine.
A genuinely capable everyday food processor at a low price, suited to home cooks who want faster prep rather than dough-making power.
A straightforward mid-size processor for chopping, pureeing, slicing and shredding with simple button controls. The listing gives conflicting warranty terms, so confirm coverage in the manual.

These 6 food processors are the most searched brands and models among the established products in this category (monthly searches for each brand and model); on a tie, the one with more owner ratings ranks first. Product data comes from public Amazon listings (updated 15 days ago). We do not test products ourselves.
Cuisinart, Robot Coupe, Ninja, KitchenAid, Waring lead this category among the 28 brands that passed our curation checks.
A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by how many people search for that brand and model each month; review counts only break ties.
Compact choppers suit small chopping and mixing jobs, while full-size food processors can add slicing and shredding through interchangeable discs; check which operations the machine supports. If your main task is making pourable drinks from fruit and liquid, Blenders are the nearby category to compare, since food processors generally suit chopping and preparation better. Start by deciding how much food you need to process in a batch, rather than choosing by motor wattage.
Match bowl capacity to the quantities you regularly prepare, such as a small batch of dip or vegetables for several meals. Among the 27 products that list bowl capacity, most fall between 2.6 and 15 cups, and 8.5 cups is typical. Stated bowl capacity does not necessarily equal the usable amount for every task: liquid mixtures and dough may have lower limits, so compare the manual’s guidance for those tasks with your usual quantities. A large bowl can leave small portions beyond the blade’s effective reach; if you alternate between small and large batches, check whether a smaller bowl is supported and whether it is supplied or sold separately.
Choose cutting attachments around the results you need: a chopping blade will not give the even slices or shreds made by suitable discs. Check the available slice thicknesses and shredding sizes, plus whether the required discs are included or sold separately. For frequent vegetable preparation, compare the feed opening with the ingredients you normally cut, because a narrow opening means more preparation with a knife. The number of speeds filter tells you how many speed options are available; look separately for pulse control if you want to stop chopping before ingredients become a paste. For dough, establish that kneading is permitted, then compare the manual’s batch and running limits with your recipes.
Before buying, confirm the assembled height with the feed tube fitted and the clearance needed to remove the lid beneath your cabinets. For warm sauces or soups, the manual must explicitly permit hot ingredients before any temperature or fill limits become relevant. Material labels such as Stainless Steel or Plastic do not identify which part they describe; look for separate details about the bowl, housing and cutting attachments. A dishwasher-safe value of Yes needs a parts-level check, including any rack restrictions for the bowl and lid. Confirm that replacement bowls, lids and blades are available for the exact model.
