Food processors have now become indispensable for everyday life. Simply put, a food processor is aunion between a blender, a kneader, a food processor, a centrifuge and much more. Then with the addition of electronic components such as internal memories where you can save your personal “cookbook”, Wi-Fi useful for updating your device and your recipes at any time (also via App), timer to program the preparations.

To be purchased and added gradually to the main base, or already included in the purchase, which allow the creation of very complicated recipes in almost complete autonomy.

Finally, one of the great advantages of the kitchen robot concerns cleaning and maintenance. These procedures, in fact, are of great simplicity and require very little time. Most of the models on the market are designed to minimize the waste of water and cleaning time. Finally, they are implemented with integrated maintenance systems.
Operation
Food processors, they are quite simple devices to use. They are formed from a working basis, with different speeds and modes of operation. A container is usually attached to this base, which will be the main tool for all your recipes. Obviously, depending on the model, some features and some types of accessories will change. Depending on the model, (and above all the price), some products will have only a timer with a few working modes, while for others we will even have the possibility of managing App, there Wi-Fithe possibility of cooking food at very high temperatures or adapting the operating speed according to the food inserted.
How to choose the best food processors
With this guide on the best food processors, I’ll try to explain to you what are the main factors to consider before buying this appliance for your kitchen. Among the primary factors for a right choice (and which responds perfectly to our needs) we have:
- Dimensions;
- Functionality;
- Accessories;
- Power and consumption;
- Maintenance;
- Prezzo.
Dimensions of the best food processors
the first factor to consider in this difficult choice will be the size of our food processor. In fact we have to adjust with the space we have available in our kitchen. If we have little space, it is not advisable to buy an appliance that is too large and bulky (especially because it will not be answered via, but will be used daily and therefore always ready for use). Therefore, it will be necessary to limit the choice to those that are a little smaller compact.
On the contrary, with so much space available, we will have a wide choice, taking the one that best suits our needs. By now, there are a myriad of models, of various sizes and weights, really for all tastes. Whether you are single, a young couple, or a large family it doesn’t matter. Nowadays it will not be difficult to find one with a design and size that most intrigues us.
Functionality
Another factor to consider are the functions present in the food processor. These vary depending on the model which we are going to choose. Practically, we will be able to buy a simple robot with basic functions (blender / mixer, chopper, grater). Or a more advanced model that also acts as a mixer. Or even a food processor that allows you to prepare, in addition to pizzas and desserts, even complete menus, with first courses, second courses and side dishes of all kinds.
Accessories
There are now many accessories to add and integrate with our food processors. It ranges from the classics whisks for whipping, the citrus squeezer. Or again, for those who love making bread and pizza and sweets, we will have planetary mixers, with more powerful motors and different types of whisks (hook, heart and wire), which will be used to knead or whip, obtaining perfect doughs and creams in just a few minutes. Other accessories available for our food processors can be: the homogenizer, the centrifuge, the pasta extruderthe sheeter, the vegetable mill, the potato peeler, and many others
Power
Another very important factor to take into consideration when choosing a food processor is power. If we require simple devices such as 3 in 1 multifunction robots (usually a mixer, blender and mincer), we will not need particularly large powers (usually around 250-350 Watt) If, on the other hand, we are looking for something with particular characteristics, such as a food processor that also allows you to cook food, we will certainly need to consider a higher power( 750W in su).
Maintenance
When we choose a food processor, we must always take into account the factor of Assembly / Disassembly and of cleaning speed. These two components really make the difference between an appliance you use regularly and one that is stored in a corner and never used. A food processor must absolutely have the ability to be disassembled easily, in a very short time, and with accessories and containers that can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. In this way they can be stored quickly and without clutter. For maintenance for these appliances, all you need is a more thorough cleaning and a check of the most wearable parts such as gears and blades, always following the advice in the instruction booklet.
Prezzo
Last (but not least) factor to consider for the purchase of one of the best food processors is the price it varies a lot according to the type of robot. The simplest and most basic hover around the 100 eurowhile for the more advanced models equipped with more accessories the price rises around 400 /500 euro. finally, there are models considered TOP, which reach a price higher than 1000 euro. Thanks to this variety of prices, it is practically impossible not to find the right compromise that suits our needs and makes us happy with the choice made.
