Key points to consider while buying the best food processor:

• Motor:

  To effectively perform the pre-cooking tasks, you will need a robust and sturdy motor. The motor’s ability is determined by the size of the food processor. Motor power of 500W and 700W is sufficient for daily food processing in a medium-sized family.

• Bowl Capacity:

  More food can be processed at once with a processor that has a larger bowl capacity. Such processors also have spindles that prevent overflow and spillage of ingredients while in operation. Also, when buying a food processor, look for the different types of jars and their capacities.

• Blades:

  When purchasing a food processor, it is important to consider the quality and material of the blades. Look for blades made of food-grade 304 stainless steel that won’t rust over time.

• Attachments:

  Some food processors come with a slew of extras to help you get the most out of your machine. So, do look for additional accessories like jars, discs, juicier, kneading blades, etc.

• Feeding tube:

  This is perhaps the most important factor to consider. Pick a food processor with a feeder tube at the center of the appliance. This ensures low vibrations and high processing efficiency.

• Design:

  Look for a food processor that has a simple and compact design. It would be useful for storing and managing for a longer period of time.

• Price:

  More often, food processor prices depend on the brand you choose and the type. Look for a machine that is affordable yet delivers high performance. Make a thorough research and choose wisely.
