Mini choppers & food processors: how do they compare?
When it comes to speeding up food prep tasks, mini choppers and food processors both come in very handy, helping you to spend less time chopping and more time creating. But while they will both help you prep like a pro, when it comes to their size and functionality, there are key differences.

Food processors
With a larger capacity, more powerful motor and multi-purpose blades and discs, a food processor offers more versatility than a mini-chopper, enabling you to prep large quantities of ingredients quickly and easily, and even knead heavy bread and pizza doughs.
There’s a range of MultiPro models available in different sizes. If you’re short on space but want the capacity and performance of a food processor, the new MultiPro Go delivers limitless slicing, chopping and grating directly into a pan or plate, while still being small enough to store
away in a drawer or cupboard.
Then there’s the batch-prepping powerhouse that is the MultiPro Excel 10-in-1 (plus weighing), with the power and size to tackle pretty much any culinary challenge.

Which appliance should I buy?
