Bought the KitchenAid 9-cup food processor refurbished and isn't fond of it: it shreds and slices with only one shred size and two slicing sizes, so it is basically a glorified cheese shredder.

Threw their Cuisinart in the trash and picked up a Ninja Auto-iQ Professional food processor, which they find wonderful.

Was gifted the 9-cup BN600C and is disappointed that the manual forbids dry ingredients and grinding with the chopping blade, so nut butters, flours and sorbets look off the table; it only comes with a chopping blade, a dough blade and a slicing/grating disc, and they are considering returning it.

Owns the Sous Chef 16 Pro, a Christmas gift that has lasted a good while, and calls it a workhorse used weekly. Says the base is heavy, it is hand-wash only, and it will not truly fit 16 cups of shredded food.

Bought the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro for a train kitchen; slightly bigger than expected but so well made it's worth the space, with a very sturdy blade box.

Their KFP720 7-cup processor's bowl handle snapped while assembling it for hummus and cheese, and KitchenAid no longer supports the model so the whole unit became unusable. Now wants a processor that lasts 20 years and not KitchenAid.

Their FDP65 spits garlic and small cheese ends out the sides, so only large pieces get grated; they had to finish a 2 x 5 cm piece of parmesan by hand and are unsure whether this is normal or the machine is poor.

Has the Kenwood MultiPro Go and says it is pretty dang good, including for shredding carrots.

Making peanut butter from roasted peanuts in their BN800's food processor bowl gave off a burning smell after five or six minutes of processing.

Got strong suction-cup feet that anchor the 1200-watt base to the counter so it doesn't budge while kneading heavy dough. Triple-layer stacked blades shred dense ingredients fast inside the 2.1-liter jug and 1.8-liter processor bowl. Preset Auto-iQ buttons take out the guesswork by cycling pulse speeds automatically. You only get one personal blending cup in the box though, and the exposed blades demand extra caution when handling and cleaning.

Runs three vessels off one motor base, handling everything from slicing veggies in the 1.8-liter bowl to crushing ice in the 600 ml cup. Also includes a 1.9-liter pitcher, and the motor powers through dry ingredients without stalling after a year of heavy use. Still, those stacked blades stay razor-sharp and can easily nick your fingers if you aren't careful washing them.

1200-watt motor base with a 2.1-liter jug and 1.8-liter bowl, tears through prep work fast with four-tier blades and Auto-iQ presets. It's built mostly of plastic though, and the razor-sharp blades are tricky to wash.

Speeds up daily meal prep with fast chopping, grating, and slicing in a tiny footprint. Everything stacks neatly inside the bowl so you can slide the whole setup into a tight kitchen cupboard or drawer. The retractable power cord keeps your counter clutter-free while you're working through ingredients. Cleanup takes just a couple of minutes at the sink. That 1.3-liter bowl is pretty small for batch cooking though, and you'll have to pre-cut larger veggies to fit down the narrow feed tube.

Chops onions and preps everyday vegetables in seconds without hogging counter space. The direct-to-bowl chute lets you shred big batches into a mixing bowl so you don't have to stop and empty the 1.3-liter jug. A built-in cord wrap keeps the base neat when stored away. Still, the motor gets pretty loud at full speed, and the razor-sharp blades require careful hand washing.

Slices and shreds veggies straight into a bowl via the 360-degree Express Serve chute. Built-in cord wrap keeps counters tidy, and parts wash fast. You can't run it past 30 seconds nonstop though, and the chute is tight.

Shreds carrots and slices cucumbers into even pieces in seconds down the continuous feed chute. The compact motor base takes up way less room than older full-sized processors while still holding a generous three-liter bowl. Turning the pulse dial gives you instant control over texture, and the plastic parts rinse clean under tap water in no time. It's a real time-saver for big salads and slaws. You'll find thin unchopped veggie ends trapped above the spinning disc though, and clearing them out by hand is annoying.

Cubes, grates, and slices dense blocks of hard cheese rapidly for charcuterie boards. Dual speed controls deliver plenty of torque without stalling under heavy loads, and the parts rinse clean fast under the tap. Still, the drive shaft and bowl won't lock unless lined up just right, and small cheese scraps get trapped above the disc.

1000-watt motor with a three-liter bowl, powers through slicing, grating, and spice grinding. Included bag keeps the steel discs neat. Still, the bulky parts hog cabinet space, and it's tricky washing the sharp blades.

Handles everyday vegetable chopping and prep work nicely across ten months of kitchen use. Its compact footprint tucks into small cupboards easily without hogging counter space. The simple rotary dial makes switching speeds and pulsing super straightforward. Still, the motor struggles with heavy or sticky doughs, and the stiff safety lid tabs don't click in easily.

800-watt base with a 2.1-liter bowl, slices, grates, and mixes dough smoothly. Reversible disc saves drawer space, and the light bowl washes fast. It's light enough to slide on slick counters though, and the blades are sharp.

850-watt base with a 9-cup bowl, cuts prep time way down whether you're chopping herbs, pureeing sauces, or kneading bread dough. Auto-iQ presets pulse automatically in short bursts so crisp veggies don't turn into watery mush. Dropping the reversible slicing and shredding disc onto the center post makes quick work of salad prep and block cheese. Everything rinses clean without much fuss after dinner. Still, storing the tall feed chute lid and extra attachments takes up a lot of cabinet space.

Slices cucumbers and firm veggies in a flash using the dedicated disc setting on the simple push-button base. The 9-cup bowl locks down with a solid click, and its tight lid gasket keeps wet sauces from splashing out. That tall multi-blade assembly is intimidating to handle though, and it's bulky to store in a shallow drawer.

Turns frozen bananas into creamy nice cream in seconds and doesn't bog down in the 9-cup bowl. You get a dough blade and slicing disc, though the metal blades are razor sharp and tricky to wash by hand.

Heavy die-cast metal base with a 1200-watt motor, stays rock steady on the counter without shuddering during tough prep loads. The nested 2.5-cup mini bowl blends small batches of hummus smoothly so you don't have to dirty the giant 16-cup work bowl for quick tasks. Clear alignment markings on the body make twisting the containers into locked position simple and foolproof. All that industrial build quality makes the base extremely heavy, though. Moving it around is a workout, so you'll want permanent counter space before buying.
