When mixing and chopping small quantities of ingredients, a mini processor is the perfect kitchen helper. They're also compact and lightweight, making them easy to store and clean. We count mini food processors as those below 1 litre capacity.

To help you find the best mini food processor our expert testers give every machine a thorough workout to help show you:

Read more
  • Which models perform the best in food processing tests
  • Which are easy to operate and clean
  • Good and bad points for each model
  • How much noise each makes
  • Create a list of recommended models for easy reference

In order to put this information together, Fiona and Chantelle our kitchen experts conduct these tests:

Processing performance

  • Thai red curry paste
  • Pesto
  • Emulsify mayonnaise
  • Chop breadcrumbs

Ease of use

Fiona and Chantelle assess how easy it is to:

  • Use the controls
  • Read the labels
  • Lock and release the bowls and attachments
  • Store the unit with accessories
  • Clean the mini food processor
  • Keep the unit stable when in use.

If you’re unsure if you need a mini food processor or standard food processor, read our food processor buying guide.
