What food processor would you recommend?

QQQ

I am going to buy a food processor with a juicer. What are reliable and comfortable ones? Thank you.

This is food shopping and groceries.. not sure food processors count ?

I'd never bother with a juicer, you're just extracting all the fibre from the fruit and veg and it's then not so healthy.

Food processor wise as a former chef I would recommend
Magimix

Obviously neither is budget friendly.

What makes the difference is the wattage/speed of the motor and the quality of the blades plus the reliability of the manufacturer. Anything else is window dressing.

My Magimix is over 15 years old now and still going but these days only thing I use it for is making houmous. :rotfl:

Also have a Magimix, I use it for everything except cakes/bread.
Good for biscuits, pastry, buttercream, houmous type dips, grated veg, making bean burgers etc..
I have no need for a juicer though.

I used to have a Magimix and a separate whole fruit juicer, the only way IMHO and wish to replace them both, despite of them not appearing remotely to be MSE.
The Magimix like a Kitchen Aid are both investment items and you wont need to keep buying food processors that give up the ghost with particularly heavy use
I am a big gadget queen and believe in labour saving devices.
Magimix is done in various sizes so it depends on no of people you wish to cater for.
Magimix do a £139 smaller model right to the big cheffy models.
Get what's right for you but be ambitious in your cooking ambitions as homemade is much better than readymade.

I have a Vitamix - it's a fabulous piece of kit No need for a juicer as you can throw anything in a Vitamix and it will be completely pulverized so you get all of the goodness from the skin, seeds, pips, everything.

They are not cheap but worth looking at various Events like the Ideal Home Exhibition for demonstrations etc and good value (usually with free extras).

I wouldn't be without mine and bought one for my elder daughter for her birthday last year and one for younger daughter for Christmas. I reckon if you're a ready made soup buyer/smoothie buyer or even Starbucks buyer, you can make the cost price back in a few months.

I use my Food processor a standard one to automate all sorts of jobs. I think these chefs are telling us something when they whizz something through their machines.
