Ninja Plus Professional Food Processor: With a trio of attachments, the Ninja Plus food processor did a fine job, but food frequently got stuck under its lid.We found most of its attachments to be sub-par. Braun 12-Cup Food Processor Ultra: The Braun 12-cup food processor couldn't slice or grate effectively.
#CUISINART BLENDER FOOD PROCESSOR REVIEW PRO#
Cuisinart DLC-10SYP1 Pro Classic 10-Cup Food Processor: A smaller model from Cuisinart that, again, that couldn't keep up with our budget pick.Cuisinart Elemental 13-Cup Food Processor: This model from Cuisinart had performance issues compared to its 14-cup cousin, and cost nearly the same amount.GE 12-Cup Food Processor: This 12-cup model from GE had problems delivering a consistent dice and ended up mashing a portion of the vegetables.KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit: While adept at slicing, this model had issues uniformly chopping vegetables, and cheese would often get stuck in corners.Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik The Competition A built-in timer automatically tracks processing duration, making it dead easy to know just how long you've let the machine run. (Getting tomato slices on the thinnest setting was difficult, but we were able to cut consistent millimeter-thick slices on setting 2, 4.13-millimeter slices on setting 5, and 6.5-millimeter slices on setting 8.) The disk's safety position, which keeps the sharp edge retracted when in storage, prevents accidental dings and cuts. The adjustable slicing blade was also a pleasure to use, offering 24 thickness settings, from 0.3 to eight millimeters. It excelled, in particular, at chopping consistency-it was the best at grinding whole almonds into powdery flour. Otherwise, the Breville finished at or near the top in many of our tests. While this model didn't leak a drop when processing five cups of water, its smaller, nesting work bowl did leak when we pulsed a wet ingredient in it. From easy-to-follow arrows indicating which way to turn and lock the bowl and lid, to graduated volumes (in cups, fluid ounces, and liters) on the outside of the work bowl and a max-fill line for both thin and thick liquids, the Breville is easy to assemble, use, and take apart. What we liked: This large Breville Sous Chef and its smaller, 12-cup cousin are the most user-friendly food processors we tested.
