Saving you a tonne of tiresome, repetitive or labour-intensive work, if you haven't armed yourself with one of these yet, you'll want to get on it pronto. But what's the best food processor on the market? What should you look for?

What to consider

As with any appliance, before you buy, it's useful to think about the different factors that will influence what you need. This can include:

Capacity - are you likely to use it for entire batches of soup, or smaller recipes like dips?
Function - will it be used for blending, chopping, slicing, dicing, or all of the above?
Watts - this will determine how powerful your food processor is, and in turn, its price.
Controls - really, all you need are three; on, off and pulse, but some processors will offer a wider selection.
