Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Stack & Snap Food Processor
Listed as “Amazon’s Choice” in food processors, the big draw here is the price, which is maybe half of what you’d find in similar sized food processors. It has two speeds, including pulse control, and Hamilton Beach is definitely a brand you can rely on, but… yeah, it’s all about that great price.

KitchenAid 5-Cup Food Chopper
This one is a little on the smaller side, but it’s also less expensive than most of the bigger boys. Really, it’s all about what you need. The cool thing about this processor is that it doesn’t just chop your food – although it will do that and more, including puree it for you – it also serves as a whisker, which makes it great for blending ingredients, including whipped cream, which it can handle in only 30 seconds.

Breville Sous Chef Food Processor
Amazon’s experts reviewed all the food processors and decided that this one is the best, and I have no choice but to agree with them. That’s because at 16-cups, it’s the biggest, baddest food processor you’re gonna find. And on top of that, it’s a professional food processor used by sous chefs around the world. Super-powerful, it will handle anything you throw at it. It yawns at fruits and veggies. Hell, throw a shoe in there. It will slice that sucker right up. Toss your baby in there. Wait, don’t do that. I went too far. The point is, dear friends, is that if you’re looking for the best of the best, you found it right here.
