The Best Food Processors in Australia

Chopping vegetables for dinner is tedious enough without buying an appliance that creates more washing up. If you’re looking for the best food processor, we’d choose the Kenwood MultiPro Express + FDP65890SI for most kitchens: it combines a 4.6 out of 5 owner score from 103 reviews with direct-to-dish preparation and a lower checked price than the KitchenAid KFP1319.

For an affordable food processor with a separate blender jug, choose the Sunbeam Multi Processor Plus. If you mostly make dips and chop small quantities, the KitchenAid mini chopper makes more sense than a full-size machine.

1. Best for most kitchens: Kenwood MultiPro Express + FDP65890SI

Dinner preparation shouldn’t leave you washing a processor bowl as well as the dish you’re cooking in. The Kenwood MultiPro Express + addresses that with attachments that Kenwood says slice, grate and dice directly onto a plate.

The 3-litre bowl also makes this worth considering when you’re preparing several meals at once. And the storage bag gives the attachments somewhere to go when you’re finished, rather than leaving you to find cupboard space for each loose piece.

Its 4.6 out of 5 score comes from 103 reviews at The Good Guys. That’s a useful number of owner ratings behind a machine priced below both the KitchenAid KFP1319 and Breville Paradice 9.

Our take is that this is the right balance for someone who will use several preparation tools regularly. The catch is the cheaper white Kenwood below: it also lists direct-to-dish preparation, so don’t pay more for this model on that feature alone.

Our verdict: Buy this for regular meal preparation when you want a well-rated all-rounder with organised attachment storage. Choose the cheaper Kenwood if a separate blender bowl is your priority.

2. Best for adjustable slicing: KitchenAid KFP1319

If you want to change slice thickness to suit what you’re cooking, the KitchenAid KFP1319 is worth the extra spend. Its adjustable slicing disc gives you that choice without making dicing and dough preparation separate purchases.

KitchenAid also lists one-click bowl assembly and a latched lid, which should make setting up less fiddly.

Owners give it 4.73 out of 5 from 74 reviews at JB Hi-Fi. We like that combination of a strong score and a reasonable review count, but it doesn’t make the price irrelevant. The cheaper Kenwoods already cover plenty of everyday preparation.

Our verdict: Choose the KitchenAid if adjustable slicing and a broad set of preparation tools will get regular use. For basic dinner preparation on a tighter budget, we’d spend less.

3. Best value for a processor and blender: Kenwood MultiPro Express FDP65740WH

Making smoothies as well as preparing dinner can mean buying two appliances. The Kenwood MultiPro Express FDP65740WH gives you a processor and separate blender bowl on one base, at a lower checked price than the Express +.

The pairing of a 3-litre processor bowl and 1.5-litre blender bowl is the main reason we’d buy it. Kenwood also says the Express Serve attachment lets you prepare food straight into a dish or pan, keeping the main bowl clean.

Its 4.4 out of 5 score at The Good Guys comes from 253 reviews. That’s a substantial review count, though the score is lower than the Express + model’s 4.6. Our take is that the lower price and clearly listed blender bowl make this the better buy when both jobs matter equally.

The Sunbeam below costs less again. Buy this Kenwood because you’ll use its dicing attachment and larger processor bowl, rather than assuming you need the extra equipment.

Our verdict: This is our value choice for buyers who want both a processor and blender, with dicing included. Skip the extra spend if the Sunbeam’s simpler package covers your meals.

4. Best budget processor and blender: Sunbeam Multi Processor Plus LCP6000BK

If your budget needs to cover smoothies and food preparation, start with the Sunbeam Multi Processor Plus. It costs less than either Kenwood and includes a separate glass blender jug.

The important detail is the difference between bowl size and working capacity. Sunbeam lists a 2-litre processor bowl, but says it holds 500 mL of liquid. For larger liquid quantities, the separate 1.5-litre jug is the part to consider.

Its owner score is 4.5 out of 5 from 32 reviews at The Good Guys. That’s encouraging, but the review count is modest. We’d choose it for the affordable two-appliance package, while keeping that liquid limit in mind.

Our verdict: Buy the Sunbeam if you want an affordable processor and blender without paying for the Kenwoods’ dicing package. Check that its working capacities suit the quantities you prepare.

5. Best for compact storage and dicing: Breville the Paradice 9

A narrow kitchen bench makes attachment storage part of the buying decision. The Breville Paradice 9 combines what Breville describes as a compact design with a caddy that stores its tools inside the bowl.

The 12 mm dicing kit gives you a specific reason to choose it beyond storage. If that cube size suits the food you prepare, the kit earns its place; if you mostly chop ingredients roughly, we’d save the money.

Breville’s 30-year motor warranty also deserves a careful read. It applies to the motor, while the product warranty is two years.

The owner score is 4.93 out of 5 at JB Hi-Fi, but it comes from just 14 reviews. A very high score from that small a group isn’t enough to put the dearest pick here first. Our take is that the Paradice makes sense for its particular design, rather than its rating alone.

Our verdict: Choose the Paradice if compact storage and 12 mm dicing solve specific problems in your kitchen. For occasional chopping, its price is hard to justify.

6. Best low-cost pick with automatic programs: Ninja Professional BN650

If you’re watching the budget and prefer a program button to choosing settings yourself, consider the Ninja Professional BN650. It’s the cheapest pick here and includes four Auto-iQ preset programs.

The presets should reduce the amount of manual control needed for supported tasks. Dishwasher-safe parts also make this a sensible candidate if cleaning is what usually stops you using a kitchen appliance.

It was ranked number 1 in Food Processors on Amazon Australia when we checked. We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check, so its sales rank supports inclusion rather than a claim that buyers rate it highly.

Amazon Australia is the only retailer in our data stocking this model; check the warranty and returns terms before buying.

Our verdict: Buy the Ninja if low cost and automatic programs matter more to you than having an independent owner score. We’d choose the Sunbeam instead if a separate blender jug is essential.

7. Best mini chopper for dips and sauces: KitchenAid KFC3516

For onions, hummus and dressings, a full-size processor may be more appliance than you want. The KitchenAid KFC3516 mini chopper is the more focused choice, with a compact, lightweight design.

KitchenAid’s drizzle basin lets you incorporate liquid while processing dressings and sauces. That’s a useful reason to buy this small chopper, rather than treating it as a cheaper substitute for a machine with slicing and grating attachments.

It was ranked number 3 in Seasoning & Spice Choppers on Amazon Australia when we checked. We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check. Its place here rests on that sales rank and its fit for small preparation jobs.

Amazon Australia is the only retailer in our data stocking this model; check the warranty and returns terms before ordering.

Our verdict: Choose this for dips, sauces and small chopping jobs when compactness matters more than versatility. If you want to slice or grate as well, choose a full-size processor above.

How we chose

These food processor reviews are based on retailer owner ratings, maker specifications, and price and stock checks. We weigh owner scores alongside review counts, then consider useful features and price; products selected on Amazon sales rank alone come after those with owner ratings. All seven picks were in stock at Amazon Australia when checked.

Food processor buying guide

If dinner preparation takes too long

Choose attachments for the tasks you repeat. Slicing, grating and dicing are different jobs, so check that the exact model includes the tools you need. A long accessory list isn’t worth paying for if most of it will stay in the cupboard.

Direct-to-dish preparation is worth considering if washing the processor bowl after each task puts you off using it.

If you need a food processor blender

Look for a clearly listed separate blender jug or bowl. The Kenwood FDP65740WH and Sunbeam LCP6000BK both include one. A processor that lists blending among its functions doesn’t automatically have the same package.

For these two picks, we’d choose the Kenwood for dicing and the larger processor bowl, or the Sunbeam to keep the cost down.

If you want a small food processor in Australia

Separate small quantities from small storage space. A mini chopper suits dips and modest chopping jobs; a compact full-size processor makes more sense when you still need slicing, shredding or dicing.

The KitchenAid KFC3516 answers the first need. The Breville Paradice 9 addresses the second, although Breville’s compact-design claim isn’t a substitute for checking dimensions against your cupboard.

If you prepare several meals at once

Check working capacity, rather than relying on the bowl’s headline size. Liquid limits can be much lower than total bowl volume, as the Sunbeam’s specifications show.

Also check the manufacturer’s limits for the ingredients you plan to process. A bowl capacity alone doesn’t tell you how much dough or liquid you can load.

If you’re choosing a low-cost food processor

Pay for jobs you’ll do regularly. The Ninja is the lowest-priced pick here, but it has no independent owner rating in the retailer data. The Sunbeam costs more and gives you a separate blender jug plus an owner score.

Neither a high sales rank nor a long feature list guarantees that a machine is the right purchase for your meals.

If cleaning and storage stop you using appliances

Check which parts can go in the dishwasher and where the attachments will live. Follow the manual rather than assuming every component is washable in the same way.

Before ordering, allow cupboard space for any separate jug as well as the processor. In-bowl storage helps with attachments, but the whole package still needs a home.

If motor numbers are making the decision harder

Don’t choose on watts alone. Check whether the figure is described as peak power, what tasks the maker lists, and the stated batch limits. We wouldn’t use those numbers to claim one of these machines processes food better than another.
