Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC-2011

*Est. $160 Compare Prices

Reviewers say the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus 11-Cup DLC-2011 performs very well at chopping, slicing, shredding, kneading and pureeing. Improvements over the older Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 include: easier-to-clean rounded… edges and a convenient smooth touchpad. Other perks: It has a continuous-on button, a pulse button and a dough setting for making flaky crust. The Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus is available in pristine white or brushed chrome. Cuisinart's 10-year warranty on the motor and limited three-year warranty on the unit surpasses that of other manufacturers.

Best budget food processor

KitchenAid KFP720

*Est. $90 Compare Prices

Experts praise the KitchenAid 7-Cup KFP720, saying it's a quality food processor for under $100. Professional reviews rave that it's quiet, and one says it's "powerful enough to handle tougher tasks such as slicing… pepperoni," though it does encounter some performance issues when kneading dough. Testers also appreciate this product's 3-cup mini-bowl attachment for quick jobs like chopping herbs. However, while most owners agree it is a workhorse, some say they wish the product had more than two blades for more than chopping and slicing. The KitchenAid 7-Cup KFP720 has two speeds --continuous and pulse -- and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Best mini chopper

Black & Decker Ergo EHC650

*Est. $20 Compare Prices

If your slicing and dicing needs are small, a mini chopper may be the right product for you. Reviewers say the Black & Decker Ergo EHC650 performs just as well as other mini choppers at half the price. The Black & Decker… Ergo houses its motor and blade in its lid, which some reviewers say makes it more difficult to clean. Like other mini choppers, this product has a 3-cup capacity, but it also features two convenient speeds. Experts and owners both appreciate this product's non-slip base and ergonomic design, which makes it easier to use.
