✔️ Additional features: Some mini food processors come with disks that allow you to slice and shred. Look for models with at least high and low speeds for control when working with tough or delicate items. Our pros prefer those with a pulse function, which allows you to better control your chopping and prevents over-processing. ✔️ Controls and speeds: Look for simple controls like large buttons or an easy-to-turn dial - some even operate just by pressing the top of the device. Pay attention to how the lid locks on as well: You want a tight seal so you can make a vinaigrette and puree sauces. You want the bowl to be compact enough that all the ingredients will reach the blade, but not so small that you have to chop in a million batches. ✔️ Size and seal: A 2-cup capacity is ideal for a mini food processor.
This list includes some of our top-tested favorites as well picks that we haven't yet gotten our hands on but that come from Lab-trusted brands we've thoroughly assessed based on years of experience with kitchen appliances. In recent years, we've tested over 30 food processors, including mini versions. For this list, we focused solely on stand-alone mini food processors - but many immersion blenders come with quality processing attachments with a similar capacity, and some full-size food processors come with a second, smaller bowl (though we've found they are more prone to leaking). When we test food processors, we look for models that chop evenly, have intuitive controls and are easy to clean. The Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab experts test all kinds of products for prepping food. They mean you don't have to have great skills with a chef's knife and are easier to clean than a blender. Mini food processors are also useful for smaller batches of items, like herbs, nuts, salsas, pestos and vinaigrettes as well as tasks like prepping homemade baby food.
A full-size food processor can be worth the kitchen real estate, but it has a large footprint, which is less ideal for apartment kitchens or dorm rooms. Whether you're just chopping an onion for a soup, quickly grating some Parmesan or plowing through a mountain of veggies because you meal prep like a pro, a mini food processor is a compact and handy way to speed up your cooking. We removed discontinued products and added new picks from Black + Decker, Zyliss and Hamilton Beach. This article was updated in February 2023 to ensure that all products were in stock and reflected current pricing.
