The ranking includes food processors of famous brands, but with different functions. There is only a combined mixer and a meat grinder, there is an extended set, including juicers. Models with special attachments for kebbe, sausages, making pasta, pasta are interesting. Devices with attachments for cutting into slices, with kneading even yeast and tough dough are described. The TOP of the best food processors of 2020 was compiled based on customer reviews and expert opinions.
Philips HR7605
My rating opens with a budget 350W model from Philips. The body of the device is made of plastic, like the bowl, which has a volume of 2.1 liters. The device does not have a choice of operating speed mode, but it is possible to set a pulse mode, and the manufacturer also installed overload protection. I would like to note that the combine uses a stainless steel knife, which is distinguished by its durability. The delivery set includes 5 different attachments, which, thanks to the Microstore system, easily fit into the bowl of the combine. These attachments have 15 different functions and are dishwasher safe after cooking. There is also a metal shredder disc and a disc for making, for example, mayonnaise. The device has a compartment for storing the cord, the length of which is 0.75 meters.
Benefits:
- Affordable price.
- Compactness.
- Storage system for attachments.
- Easy to clean and disassemble.
- Excellent cuts and shreds.
- Build quality.
Disadvantages:
- The loading compartment for products is too small.
- When using graters, some of the products remain not wiped if there are too many of them.
- Pieces of food are often stuffed into the lid, which is then problematic to get out.
Although the model is budgetary, it copes with its main responsibilities quite well. It cuts and chops without difficulty, but there are objective problems with graters, namely: the combine simply grinds not all the products that are loaded into the bowl. In all other respects, there are practically no problems with the combine. For the price of 3,600 rubles, this is an excellent device that will also save space in the kitchen, it will easily fit on a regular shelf. On YandexMarket, 93% of buyers recommend this product.
REDMOND RFP-3909
The model from Redmond is not only a food processor, but also a juicer and a coffee grinder, it is a whole multi-system. The device has a power of 1500 W, 4 times more powerful than the Philips HR7605, but has a bowl with a capacity of 1.2 liters, which is half that of the Philips HR7605, but the blender bowl in Redmond is already 1.8 liters in volume. Also, unlike the aforementioned model, this device has a speed adjustment: smooth adjustment and maximum rotation speed, and, of course, a pulse mode. The model uses 3 knives: Emulsifying knife - for sauces, creams and emulsions, S-shaped knife - for chopping walnuts, vegetables, fruits, cheese and a dough knife. The manufacturer has equipped the combine with an overheating protection system and a class II electric shock protection. The scope of delivery is very extensive and includes: 3 knives, graters, shredder attachments, citrus juicer, coffee grinder attachment, blender bowl.A nice feature I can call the presence of rubberized legs, which means that the device will be well fixed on the working surface. The length of the power cord is 1.1 meters.
Benefits:
- Great power.
- Juice preparation and coffee grinder function.
- Protection systems.
- Easy to assemble and disassemble.
- Speed regulation.
Disadvantages:
- Poor build quality and materials.
- The body is made of cheap plastic.
- An inconvenient juicer that's only for citrus fruits.
- Small bowl capacity, only 1.2L.
Redmond decided to release a difficult food processor, but a whole multisystem, which, in my opinion, they did well. Of course, the device itself is far from the best quality, this applies not only to materials and build quality, but also to certain points in operation. But still, you can easily prepare everything you need and even make fresh juice or grind coffee thanks to the power of the combine and the extensive scope of delivery. The cost of this model is 7300 rubles. On YandexMarket, 82% of buyers recommend this product.
Bosch MCM 3501M
The model from the world giant Bosch has a power of 800 W, which is almost 2 times less than that of the REDMOND RFP-3909, but this does not prevent the MCM 3501M from easily cope with any products. It is made of high-quality plastic and is equipped with a 2.3-liter bowl, a blender container made of high-quality plastic with a volume of 1 liter. The device uses a multilevel knife with 6 MultiLevel6 blades with increased strength. The harvester has 2 separate functions: the function of grinding solid products such as ice, cheese, coffee, and the function of grinding herbs, onions, garlic, nuts. There is also a 2-position speed control, impulse mode, a safety switch system and rubber feet - suction cups. As in the above models, the Bosch device has a large set of 7 different attachments, discs for shredding, graters, etc. and all this can be easily stored in the bowl thanks to the SmartStorage system.
Benefits:
- High build quality.
- MultiLevel6 knife.
- SmartStorage storage system.
- Easy to clean and wash.
- Perfectly crushes ice and nuts.
Disadvantages:
- The kit does not include an average grater, you will need to buy it.
- When rubbing cabbage, it will get stuck between the disc and the lid.
As always, Bosch has delighted us with an excellent kitchen appliance. It is not only versatile, multifunctional and reliable, but also well assembled, unlike REDMOND RFP-3909. The harvester has practically no flaws and is one of the leaders in my rating. It has a large delivery set, but they forgot or did not specifically report an average grater, which will definitely be necessary due to the fact that the pieces are very large on a large grater. The cost of this model is 8,700 rubles, and in my opinion, it is better to add 1,400 rubles and purchase this device, and not the REDMOND RFP-3909. On YandexMarket, 94% of buyers recommend this product.
Moulinex QA51AD Masterchef Gourmet
The harvester from the French brand Moulinex belongs to the middle price segment and has significant differences from the above models. 1100 W appliance with a large 4.6 liter bowl and a 1.5 liter blender bowl. The harvester has a system of smooth regulation of 8 speeds and a pulse mode. The key difference from Bosch MCM 3501M and REDMOND RFP-3909 is that the QA51AD has a meat grinder function, for which a special attachment is included in the delivery set, and in total you will have 9 different attachments available. Perfect for home baking enthusiasts, this food processor has a Flex Whisk, a die-cast aluminum dough hook, and a batter mixer to help you whisk and knead dough like a pro. Also, the device implements a planetary rotation system, which allows you to capture ingredients along the entire inner surface of the bowl when preparing the dough.
Benefits:
- Bowl with a capacity of 4.6 liters.
- 8 speed modes.
- Grinder function.
- Flex Whisk.
- Planetary rotation system.
- High build quality and components.
- Handles all products perfectly.
Disadvantages:
- High price.
- Grinder meshes often fail.
The price is 17,500 rubles. The harvester will turn out to be quite functional and, most importantly, it has this function of a meat grinder. But in fairness, I want to note that the nets for the meat grinder are of poor quality, they are too thin and very often bend when the meat passes through them, which can lead to the formation of a cork from the meat, which disables the combine. In all other respects, there are no complaints about the device, it cuts well, grinds and, importantly, perfectly kneads the dough thanks to an innovative whisk and a planetary rotation system. On the YandexMarket portal, 89% recommend this product.
Kitfort KT-1366
A model from the Russian brand Kitfort with a capacity of 1000 W and a large 2.5 liter bowl, this is less than the Moulinex QA51AD, a 1.25 liter blender bowl. The device has a smooth adjustment of 7 speeds and a pulse mode. The manufacturer has equipped the combine with an automatic shutdown system and an overheat shutdown system. The harvester has a meat grinder function, which is capable of producing 0.7 kg of minced meat per minute. The KT - 1366 is also great for dough making, as it uses a planetary rotation system like the Moulinex QA51AD to grip the ingredients over the entire surface of the bowl. The delivery set is not inferior to more eminent competitors, it includes as many as 11 different attachments. As a bonus, the manufacturer equipped the harvester with rubberized feet and a storage compartment for a 1 meter cord.
Benefits:
- High functionality.
- Good build quality.
- A good grinder.
- Metal body.
- Easy to disassemble and clean.
Disadvantages:
- Loud noise at low power.
- At high revs, the body vibrates strongly.
- Small bowl 2.5l.
The model is made of metal, which compares favorably with all the above models made of plastic. The combine is very functional and can easily replace many kitchen appliances, the meat grinder works without problems even with dense, fibrous meat and is capable of producing 700 grams of meat per minute, this is a decent result. I didn’t like the fact that the device vibrates and trembles a lot when working at high speeds, you need to hold it, besides, the device is very noisy. The cost of this model is 18,000 rubles, which is a lot considering that the company is from Russia, but in this case the cost is comparable to the quality. On YandexMarket, 96% of buyers recommend this product.
Bosch MUM 5XW40
Another model from Bosch is almost at the top of my rating. 1000 W appliance with 3.9L bowl and 1.25L blender bowl. As in the aforementioned model, it uses a 7-speed continuous control and a pulse mode. The manufacturer did not stint and equipped the combine with additional pleasant features, such as an LED display, built-in scales: with their help you can weigh products directly in the working bowl, a timer, EasyStorage - cable winding and storage technology, rubber feet, Easy Arm Lift system, which serves to automatically raise the lever when changing attachments, the Smart Dough Sensor keeps the hook rotation at a constant speed while kneading the dough. Also in this device, the manufacturer has implemented an updated system of 3D planetary rotation, as a result of which the whisk rotates in three directions, and the base moves in the opposite direction, this allows more thoroughly whipping and collecting ingredients from the entire inner surface of the bowl. The scope of delivery includes a professional whisk with a silicone pad, a volumetric height-adjustable whisk, a reinforced dough hook, shredding discs, a citrus press, a bag for storage of accessories and a DVD disc with recipes.
Benefits:
- Great power.
- LED display.
- Built-in scales.
- Timer.
- 3D planetary rotation technology.
- Professional whisks.
- Storage bag.
- High quality.
Disadvantages:
- High price.
- Expensive extra attachments.
- Heavy.
The price is around 33,000 rubles.A very popular model from Bosch that is used not only at home, but also in professional ones, for example, in a cafe. It is not surprising, with such functionality and capabilities, this combine is a place in a professional kitchen. It easily copes with grinding, rubbing, juicing citrus fruits, making dough, etc. It uses high-quality materials, so it weighs a lot, namely 8.7 kg and takes up a lot of space.
Kenwood KVC5100T
KVC5100T from the Kenwood brand tops the rating of the best. The combine with a power of 1200 W is equipped with a stainless steel bowl with a volume of 4.6 liters and has a 6-step speed control with a pulse mode. The manufacturer took care of safety and equipped the device with a splash guard and a stop system that is triggered when the device is opened. I really liked the proprietary K-shaped nozzle, which is capable of contacting the entire inner surface of the bowl, a kind of analogue of the planetary rotation system, but it is realized simply due to a properly designed nozzle. The package is not as generous as the Kitfort KT-1366, for example, it includes a whisk, a kneading hook, a K-shaped attachment and a splash guard. In total, there are about 20 attachments available on the market, but the manufacturer did not consider it necessary to add at least a few of them to the kit, in my opinion, this is wrong, given the price of this device.
Benefits:
- The body and bowl are made of stainless steel.
- The volume of the bowl.
- Great power.
- K-shaped nozzle.
- Build quality and reliability.
Disadvantages:
- High price.
- Small delivery set.
- Noisy.
- Expensive extra attachments.
- Big and heavy.
Of course, the model rightfully occupies the top of the rating, it is powerful, functional, reliable, but its price is clearly overstated and amounts to 45,000 rubles. The harvester does an excellent job with hard and fibrous products due to its high power, but it runs louder than the Bosch MUM 5XW40. Given the small scope of delivery, you will have to additionally buy attachments that are not cheap, it seems to me a big minus of this model, given the high cost of the device itself. But I have no complaints about work and functionality, it works perfectly, but if you want to buy a relatively inexpensive and at the same time very reliable and high-quality combine, I would recommend the Bosch MUM 5XW40.
