Top 10 Food Processors for Vegetables
for December 2023

The Hamilton Beach Food Processor has a wide, heavy base that's perfect for counter or table use, and the large 8-cup bowl is large enough to shred an entire block of cheese, but small enough to store well. It has 2 speed settings for chopping and slicing, plus a pulse setting, and the motor is powerful enough to handle most jobs. The reversible shredding disc slices and shreds, and the s-blade chops, mixes and purees, so it has the versatility of both a food chopper and a food processor. The 450-watt motor provides plenty of power for chopping, slicing, and mixing, and the bowl is easy to clean. The food processor is also quiet, so it's ideal for use in the kitchen. You can use this food processor to make hummus, pesto, salsa, and guacamole, as well as soups, dips, and sauces.

The Hamilton Beach Food Processor and Vegetable Chopper has most of the features we've come to rely on in food processors, including a 10-cup bowl, 2 speeds, 450 watts of power, a reversible s-blade, a shredding disc, a chopping blade, and a whisk. It chops and shreds food quickly and efficiently, and it's powerful enough to puree hard vegetables like carrots, celery, and potatoes. If you're chopping onions, the s-blade is powerful enough to separate them. The s-blade also rotates counterclockwise, so if you're chopping something such as garlic, the s-blade (which is stainless steel) won't make a mess. The chopping blade, too, rotates counterclockwise, which is a good thing for chopping onions, garlic, and the like, but a bad thing for chopping against the grain of leafy vegetables like cabbage and lettuce. The chopping blade is sharp, so be careful not to cut yourself. The chopping blade, s-blade, and shredding disc are dishwasher safe, and the chopping blade and the shredding disc are also hand washable. The bowl, however, should be hand washed only. The food processor is compact, so it's versatile enough to use in a 5-cup or 8-cup mini chopper, too. It comes with a chopping bowl, a whisk, and a cleaning brush, and there's a storage case for storing the accessories. The s-blade is sharp, so be cautious when using it. The food processor is noisy, but that's to be expected. It chops and shreds quickly, so it's a good food processor for busy households.

The Hamilton Beach 4-cup Mini Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper does everything that our previous top pick, the Oster 2-cup Mini Food Processor, does, but for less money. The Hamilton Beach processor is smaller, lighter, and more compact than the Oster, and the fact that it doesn't have a chopping blade means that it's less dangerous if you don't handle it carefully. It also has a smaller chute, so you can't fit a whole block of cheese into it. Overall, the Hamilton Beach processor is cheaper than the Oster, and it's slightly easier to use. The Hamilton Beach processor has a power button and a switch for on/off, while the Oster has a power button and a switch for pulse. The Hamilton Beach processor has a pulse button, too, but it's located on the side of the machine, where you tend to simply press it accidentally. The Hamilton Beach processor also has 6 more watts than the Oster processor, so it's slightly faster. The Hamilton Beach processor is also slightly quieter than the Oster. Both processors offer a good range of speeds, and the Hamilton Beach processor has 2 more speed levels than the Oster processor. The Hamilton Beach processor also has a 4-cup capacity, while the Oster processor has a 2-cup capacity. We liked that the Hamilton Beach processor has a 4-cup capacity, but we didn't like the Oster processor's larger chute. The Hamilton Beach processor also has a 4-cup capacity, but it's slightly smaller than the 4-cup capacity on the Oster. The Hamilton Beach processor's bowl has a curved edge, so it fits more snugly in the bowl. The Oster processor's bowl has a flat edge, so it fits more loosely in the bowl. The Hamilton Beach processor's bowl is also slightly wider, so it's easier fit in the dishwasher. The Hamilton Beach processor's bowl has 4 more blades, so it's slightly easier to use. The Hamilton Beach processor's bowl is also slightly deeper, so it's slightly easier to use. The Hamilton Beach processor's blades are made of stainless steel, while the Oster processor's blades are made of plastic. The Hamilton Beach processor's blades are slightly sharper than the Oster processor's blades. Overall, the Hamilton Beach processor is a decent food processor, but it's slightly more expensive than the Oster processor. The Hamilton Beach processor also costs more, but it comes with a 3-year warranty.

The Elechomes High Capacity 8-Cup Blender Grinder for Meat, Onion, Powerful 300W Motor & 4 Detachable Dual Layer Stainless Steel Blades, BPA-Free Glass Bowl is a great deal, especially considering how much power it has for the price. It processes meat, onions, garlic, potatoes, and baby food in seconds, and it works quickly and quietly. The 300-watt motor is powerful enough to grind meat quickly, and the built-in blade cover does a good job of keeping it from flying apart during use.

The digital display's buttons don't light up, and the machine's speed settings are controlled by a rotary dial, and there's no timer, so it's hard to skip steps or forget how long a task takes. The machine is easy to set up and use, and it's cordless, so it's portable. The only drawback is the machine's large size, which makes it difficult to store, and it's noisy, which can both be annoying.

The chopping blades are made of stainless steel, while the whisk is made of durable, non-stick silicone. The bowl is removable, so you can rinse or clean it in the dishwasher.

The Hamilton Beach Mini chopper is a pretty good choice for an inexpensive food chopper. The motor is powerful enough to handle vegetables, nuts, and other tough ingredients, and the lid is easy to assemble and use. The bowl is dishwasher safe, and the blades are easy to disassemble and clean. The Mini chopper is powerful, too, but we found that it sometimes spat out large chunks of ingredients, which could be a problem if you're making baby food. It's a little difficult to assemble and disassemble, and the bowl isn't deep enough to accommodate large ingredients, so it's better suited to chopping ingredients and mixing sauces, rather than preparing whole meals. The Hamilton Beach Mini chopper is affordable, and it did everything we needed it to do, but it's best suited for small jobs, such as chopping veggies for salads or homemade salsas, or processing small amounts of nuts or meat.

The Mueller Strongest-and-Heaviest Duty Dual Speed Pull Chopper Vegetable Cutter is a sturdy, well-made, versatile chopper that works well for chopping a variety of foods, including meat and veggies.

The bowl is large enough to hold a decent amount of food, and it's also removable, so it's easy to clean. The chopper also includes a safety guard to help prevent accidental cuts, and it has a see-through lid, so you can easily monitor the food as it cooks. The chopper works well for everything from chopping nuts to making salsa to mincing garlic. It's versatile enough that it works well for food prep, but it's also strong enough to make short work of tougher jobs, such as chopping up a chicken or a chicken leg. It's loud, so it's probably best used in the kitchen or somewhere with background noise, but it's easy to control, and it's quiet enough for most people. It also feels sturdy and durable, and it's built to last.

Our pick for Best Food Chopper has a powerful motor that does a great job chopping up everything we threw at it, including meat, poultry, vegetables, nuts, and frozen fruit. The motor is also very quiet, and the 1.2-liter bowl is roomy enough to hold all the ingredients we usually need to chop up. The chopper's bowl is dishwasher-safe, and it's easy to clean. The chopper comes with a sharp blade, an extra blade, and a grating blade. The grating blade wasn't sharp enough for us to comfortably use it, but the other blades were sharp enough to do the job. The chopper's 2-speed settings are fast (high) and slow (low), and I was able to chop up everything I needed in about 30 seconds. The chopper also has a number of safety features, including a lock switch, which prevents the motor from starting accidentally, and a safety cover that prevents the chopper from starting unless the blades are closed. The chopper has 1.2 L of capacity, which is enough to hold all the ingredients we usually need to chop up.
