The KitchenAid Cordless Food Chopper is our top pick for best mini food processor—and it comes with all the bells and whistles.
Right out of the box, there’s one feature that sets this mini food processor apart: It’s cordless! After charging, you can set up this 5-cup food processor anywhere without being tethered to an outlet. You may not think this is a feature you’ll appreciate, but if you have a kitchen that’s short on outlets or just full of helpers, this is a bonus you’ll grow to love. (We also gave our stamp of approval to KitchenAid’s cordless hand mixer.)
When it comes to the functionality of this cord-free gadget, our team couldn’t be happier. You can mix up a batch of fresh salsa or pico de gallo in seconds with this countertop gadget. And when it came to crushing up cookies for a crumb crust, Rashanda says that this mini food processor created the finest and most even crumbs of any unit.
KichenAid’s cordless food chopper also comes equipped with a whisk attachment that’s perfect for making homemade whipped cream in a flash. It also has two different speeds so you can pulse, puree and emulsify at different levels.
While it costs more than our other best mini food processor picks, there’s lots to love about this gadget: “This is a mighty machine with a lot of zip,” Rashanda says.
