| Pros | Best at chopping, mixing, and shredding, easy to clean | Versatile, great all-around performance, easy to clean | Great for pizza dough, pureeing perfection, easy to clean, mostly even slicing, little to no leakage | Great at pureeing and slicing | Good at mixing and shredding |
| Cons | Expensive | Expensive, heavy | Not great for applesauce, average chopping and shredding | No adjustability of shredding or slicing | Average at chopping, little harder to clean |
| Bottom Line | Our favorite overall model excels at chopping, shredding, and mixing, and it's exceptionally easy to clean | This machine is a one-stop shop for most kitchen needs but comes at a hefty price | A food processor especially great for pizza, but you'll need to own a Vitamix motor | One of the best food processors you can get on a budget without sacrificing too much performance | An excellent model if you are planning on frequently making dough or mayo |
