Best Food Processors in India

Setting the basics aside, let's talk about those elements that make this Philips Food Processor HL1660 what it is. One of those things is a powerful 700W motor that will be able to deliver efficient performance for a variety of different cooking applications. And, speaking of these cooking applications, we would be remiss not to mention arguably the model's biggest selling point, the PowerChop technology that is there in order to provide exceptional chopping performance. Simply put, the technology is essentially a combination of blade shape, cutting angle and inner bowl that deliver a chopping result in both soft and hard ingredients that is superior compared to the majority of competition out there. On top of that, the aforementioned PowerChop system will prove to be perfect for preparing purées and mixing cake batters.

Since we're talking about a high-end food processor with a juicer, it should go without saying that the model comes equipped with a couple of speed settings and a pulse control system that will be able to secure maximum control of the cooking process. And while those that already have some experience with food processors under their belt may already be aware of this, we would still prefer to mention that it is better to use the low-speed setting (that is, incidentally, the first one) for whipping creams, beating eggs, and creating pastries and bread dough. As for the higher speed setting, it should prove to be better suited for chopping onions and meats, blending soups and smoothies, and, last but not least, shredding, slicing, grating, or rasping vegetables.

Moving on, before wrapping this review up, we did mention at the start that this food processor will satisfy even those individuals that do not particularly care for food preparation and wouldn't necessarily describe themselves as cooking enthusiasts. Surprisingly enough, we didn't do that just for the sake of advertising, and the model includes quite a few solutions that the latter crowd might appreciate, including the fact that all of the accessories that are included in the package (a blade unit S-blade, fine shredding tool, fine slicing tool, kneading tool, and a mixer) are incredibly easy to assemble and all of them are dishwasher safe, saving you the time and trouble from washing it with your own two hands. It should also be noted that the design combines elegance with minimalism, meaning it won't take away too much of your space and the base is fairly sturdy, so it will stand still even through the kneading process.

All in all, the Philips HL1660 Food Processor is the sort of model that will be able to satisfy quite a range of customers thanks to the fact that it is incredibly simple to use and the kind of performance and versatility it provides will not disappoint even the most demanding customers.

Along with the food processor, you also get four additional processing bowls. The main one is obviously the biggest one and hence, intended for large quantities of ingredients. You also get two smaller bowls and a citrus press for extracting juice from your favourite fruits. All these bowls are made of high-quality plastic, which means if you happen to drop one accidentally to the floor, it won't break. Besides this set of utensils, which is pretty much typical of most food processors, you also get a small stainless steel bowl which works well for dry grinding. 

Adjustable speed settings are common to most kitchen appliances; so, just like the majority, the Inalsa Fiesta can operate at several speeds. For cleaner work, you may want to start blending at a lower speed and then gradually switch to the higher ones.  What we personally like about this food processor is that it features many handy guides with explanations on the replacement parts which should be used with this or that food and a special locking button using which you can prevent access to your kids. 

As this food processor has protection against unintentional start, you will need to make sure that you keep one of the bowls locked properly while mixing food in the other one. If you don't keep the lid on, the appliance simply won't work.

The PowerChop technology allows for super efficiency and performance of this food processor. Combining sharp angled blades and a special inner bowl, it allows users to achieve the best results possible in the shortest time. Compared to similar models of food processors, the Philips HR7629/90 comes with an S-shaped knife suitable for coarse shredding, chopping onions, and crushing other hard ingredients. It also has a high-quality stainless steel disc which allows you to shred both fruit and vegetables to the consistency you need. The cutting system in the Philips HR7629/90 has been tested and approved by company's experts, so you can be sure of its superb quality and excellent performance. 

The Phillips HR7629/90 offers 2 speeds and a pulse mode, allowing you to blend or chop ingredients to the perfect consistency. In general, though, the low setting is recommended for whipping eggs, whites, making doughs, pastries, while the high setting works best for mixing liquids, making smoothies, preparing soft and puffy purees, chopping hard ingredients like onions, nuts, and other vegetables. With the Phillips HR7629/90, you will not be limited in options.

If you love drinking freshly-squeezed juice, you will be pleased to find out that along with other accessories that come in a set with the Philips HR7629/90, there's also a citrus press. It is well suited for extracting juice from all citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, etc. This small but useful accessory can actually spare you the need of buying a proper citrus juicer. 

The Bajaj FX11, as well as the processing bowls, are made of strong unbreakable plastic which is very easy to clean and wash under running water. The smaller jars for grinding and chutney are made of stainless steel; so are all cutting tools that come in a set. 

With the user in mind, the manufacturer of the Bajaj food processor has added safety features in order to let customers handle it with care. So, this kitchen appliance has a safety lock that prevents the device from operating if the lid hasn't been closed properly.  Also, it will not start to work if the processing bowl has not been securely locked in place. 

As a nice bonus, the Bajaj food processor is shipped together with a special bowl that can be used for making sauces and grinding dry ingredients like nuts, herbs, etc.

The Preethi Zodiac MG218's operation is based on performance of a powerful 750-Watt motor which processing speed allows it to cut and chop any food in less than a minute. The main bowl has a generous capacity of 2.1 litres which makes about 4-5 portions of food. This will be enough for making a meal for any average household. The power of motor coupled with a sharp stainless steel cutting system makes this food processor an irreplaceable helper in any kitchen.

With the Preethi Zodiac MG218, you will not need to worry about voltage drops or overheating. The device is made of unbreakable ABS-plastic that doesn't tend to get hot even after prolonged operation. The cut-off system helps prevent overheating and electronics damage in case of rapid voltage drops. You will also see the indicator light changing its color to warning red if you lock the bowl improperly. 

The citrus press from the set will let you enjoy a quick glass of freshly squeezed juice every morning. You will only need to select your favourite citrus fruit, put it on a lid, and push it hard against the grooves. The juice will be extracted quickly and without unpleasant bitterness.
