How we test chopping

We test how well each food processor chops, taking into account preparation time as well as the evenness and fineness of the finished result. To test how well each model handles different food types, we test each model with onions, nuts and herbs - the best food processors work well with all three.

How we test pureeing

We check how well food processors can puree baby food - we check whether the bowl or jug needs scraping down in order for all of the ingredients to be pureed properly and whether the puree is smooth and even. We also sieve it to check whether it contains any lumps.

How we test assembly

We check how each it is to assemble each food processor, assessing how each it is to set up and use as well as whether it's tricky to fix or remove the machine's attachments.

How we test quietness

Food processors can be loud, so we give a subjective rating for how quiet each model is while its in operation.

How we test cleaning

We check how easy each food processor is to clean, taking into account whether the body of the machine is easy to wipe down, how easy the attachments and accessories are to get clean and whether any supplied parts are dishwasher safe.
