Food Processor Buying Guide – Things to Look for in a Food Processor

The food processors come in a great variety and choosing one from all the similar-looking ones can be quite challenging, especially if you do not know about the things to look for in the best food processor. Here is a list of all the essential features you should look at while buying a new food processor.

Power/Wattage

The power of the food processor is one of the most important things that you should look at before buying a food processor.

A food processor with a powerful motor not only provides you longer continuous runtime but also provides you the required power to complete all that tough grinding and mixing without any problems.

On the other hand, a food processor with a weak motor will not only take longer to complete the tasks but will also frequently shut-down because of overload.

If you plan to use it for highly intensive tasks then god for a food processor with 1000-watts motor else any food processor with 600-watts or higher motor is sufficient.

Price & Warranty

Price is the first thing that you check for any product when you are looking to make a new purchase. A food processor is no different. Buying a cheap food processor that hardly meets your daily requirements is as bad a decision as buying one that is too expensive and is rarely used.

You should first decide on the maximum that you would like to spend and then identify the best option in that budget. Going for the best features and not looking at the price can result in burning a fat hole in your pocket.

Like most kitchen appliances, when you buy a food processor, you expect it to last for several years and therefore it is very important to look for quality products that offer longer warranty periods.

While a long warranty period is no guarantee for the quality and durability of the product but it gives you an idea of the trust that the brand has in its product.

An extended warranty covers your investment in case of any manufacturing defects and premature failures.

You can find good food processors priced anywhere between Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 10,000.

Attachments & Accessories

Most kitchen experts believe a food processor is only as good as the attachments and accessories it comes with. A food processor without good attachments will not fulfill its purpose.

Most food processors come with a host of accessories like the blades for specific purposes, jars, the bowls of various sizes, whisking attachments, the dough kneader or the accessories to turn it into a juicer at times.

Carefully look at the list of accessories and attachments to make sure the food processor comes with the attachment or accessories that you may need. Also, make sure the accessories and attachments are durable enough to last for long.

But always remember, many of these attachments are never put to use by most Indian homes. So you should always keep a balance between other important features and the no. & type of attachments.

Ease of Use

Food processors come with a lot of parts and attachments like jars of different sizes for better grinding, mixing, and crushing, blades for chopping or mincing and many more. The food processor is not a simple mixer grinder but does a lot more work to manage the kitchen activities.

Buying a food processor matching the volume of work is exceptionally essential apart from the ease of using and cleaning it after use.

Often under-capacity food processors are made to overwork, forcing them to wear and tear at regular intervals. It is best to define the purpose and then buy as per the need.

The weight, the controls of the speed, ease of cleaning, and detachable attachments, are some of the many factors that should be considered while purchasing them.

Speeds

The speed of the food processor depends on the capacity of the motor and can be controlled by the speed selectors. It may be kept in mind that the wrong speed may not bring out the desired efficiency of the equipment.

Some food preparations and mixtures may require churning at very low speed while some may require faster churning and mixing.

Food processors come with various speed controls to perform specific work and looking at the speed controls while buying them is a wise approach for selecting the right kind. Always choose a food processor that comes with variable speed control that has at least 3 or more speed settings.

Size or Capacity

Size and capacity is another factor for selecting the right food processor. A household of two does not need huge bowls or multiple bowls. It will be a waste of material as only a substantial amount of materials can be processed desirably.

Again for a big family, the small containers would be undesirable as the same work needs to be done repeatedly. The capacity of the jars and the motor should be gauged while purchasing a food processor to get the best deal working with them in the kitchen.

Easy to Clean

Cleaning the food processors is necessary after every use; else the leftover food may lead to bacterial buildup, stinking smell, and frequent maintenance issues. Yes, cleaning the food processor is a bit of precision work and buying the ones that can be cleaned quickly and efficiently is always preferred as it minimizes the time spent in the kitchen.

Let’s review the top 9 food processors and find out how they perform.
