Welcome back Kitchen Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today we are in the
Kitchen. In this video, two food processor brands will be going head to head. We have the Ninja Food
Processor and the KitchenAid Food Processor. A food processor saves you from having to do
tons of tedious and tiring prep work. A great food processor is able to dice, mince, grind,
knead, puree, slice, and shred. Whether you want to knead pizza dough, grate potatoes,
slice onions for latkes, or puree a pesto, a trusty food processor will make the task faster.
In today s video, we will be pitting two top contenders - the Ninja Food Processor and the
KitchenAid Food Processor - against each other in a battle of style and substance. Both of these
units have earned five badges from our team at trustedshoppingguide.com, ensuring their quality,
durability, and performance. However, there s only one room for a winner, so sit back, relax, and
watch as we battle it out in today s Brand Wars! If you are interested in the other food processors
that we reviewed, do check out our food processor review video linked below. If you
want direct links to the products themselves, all these links are also listed below too. So,
without further ado, let s start the brand wars! The first category that these food processors
will be going toe to toe with are their size and form factor
Size is an important factor to consider when looking for a food processor. Since most kitchen
counters are already crowded with various kitchen appliances, dishes, and condiments, the last thing
you would want is to add upon it a hefty, clunky kitchen tool that will make your countertop even
rowdier. For that reason, a food processor s form factor should be just ideal enough to fit
a small or roomy countertop space well. Aside from this, it is also important to consider the shape
of the food processor since it brings out the unit s compatibility with your kitchen d cor.
The Ninja Food Processor measures 9.88 by 7.76 by 16.02 inches while the KitchenAid Food Processor
measures 7.87 by 9.65 by 15.35 inches. Although the Ninja Food Processor comes with a more
countertop-friendly design, it is worth noting that, in terms of design, the KitchenAid Food
Processor has a slimmer and more slender form factor thanks to its more uniformly cylindrical
shape. This makes it a more attractive choice for those with little countertop space to spare.
Although the Ninja Food Processor is nothing to scoff at with its slender profile,
we will be giving the first point to the KitchenAid Food Processor. For its lighter
package and modern design, we believe it is the definitive winner of this category.
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their capacity
Food processors come in a variety of sizes, from tiny 3-cup choppers to 20-cup versions that could
function in a restaurant kitchen. To find out what size is best for you, we recommend looking at the
number of people you typically cook for and the recipes you usually prepare. As a rule of thumb,
however, a small family will need just about six to twelve cup-capacity processors, depending on
the recipe and, of course, your appetite. The Ninja Food Processor has a capacity
of nine cups, which can easily serve a family of four to five people at a time.
On the flip side is the KitchenAid Food Processor, which has a capacity of only seven cups.
Although the Ninja Food Processor clearly has an advantage over the KitchenAid Food
Processor in terms of capacity, it is worth noting that the feed tubes on both units serve
a very important purpose in ensuring that food gets to the work bowl without spills or leaks.
For having a larger capacity than its competition, the Ninja Food Processor
ensures that you are not only able to serve yourself but your friends and family as well.
It earns one point to tie up the battle at 1-1. The third category that these two brands will be
going toe to toe with is their power The more powerful the machine,
the more expensive it becomes. As a general rule, more power will give you better results.
When using a more powerful processor, you'll be able to achieve improved prepping outcomes such as
more uniform chopping or the ability to dice incredibly dense food. Some food processors
come loaded with additional blender-like functions, like smoothie-making or dough-mixing,
so it only makes sense that extra power is supplied for such kitchen applications.
Quite impressively, the Ninja Food Processor ****boasts a 1,000-peak-watt professional-grade
motor that packs enough power to turn the toughest ingredients into velvety smooth purees. Needless
to say, this will serve you well in all sorts of kitchen applications, whether it s chopping
nuts or making amazing pastes and purees. The KitchenAid Food Processor, on the other hand,
is not quite bad either. It features a 250-watt motor, which is sufficient
enough for a food processor of this size. For its extra power over the competition,
the Ninja Food Processor will be more than worth it for someone who s interested in using
a powerful food processor, and so it takes the lead again with the score tally at 2-1.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their settings
Since a food processor is a versatile kitchen appliance, you can t necessarily put it in just
one category. For this reason, the more versatile a food processor is, the more valuable it will
be in your kitchen. Luckily, most food processors these days offer a multitude of different settings
you can work with. It can quickly and easily chop, slice, shred, grind, and puree almost any food you
can think of. In fact, some models are also capable of making citrus and vegetable juice,
beating cake batter, kneading bread dough, beating egg whites, and grinding meats and vegetables.
The Ninja Food Processor features an auto-iQ intelligent preset program
that makes food prep easier with just three speeds - low, high, and pulse. With these settings,
you can easily get uniform chopping without worrying about liquefying them or leaving large,
unprocessed chunks on top. It can also shred cheese and evenly slice veggies in no time.
The KitchenAid Food Processor, however, is not to be outgunned either. It has high,
low, and pulse speed settings to handle a variety of ingredients with precision.
This effectively allows you to chop, puree, shred, and slice everything from cucumbers to tomatoes,
cheeses, and more with the reversible medium slicing disc and multipurpose blade.
Although both food processors worked incredibly during our product testing, we found that
the KitchenAid Food Processor was the more versatile of the two units. For that reason,
we are going to give it this round, which leads us to yet another tiebreaker round.
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be
going toe to toe with is their ease of cleaning The more pieces your food processor comes with,
the more time you ll spend cleaning it. If you re lucky, some or all of its components may be
dishwasher-safe. If you re out of luck, however, you will have to stick with hand-washing the
chopping blade or slicing disc. Most feed chutes and work bowls today are dishwasher-safe though,
so you don t have to worry about that. The Ninja Food Processor is very
straightforward and easy to clean. Since all of its parts are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe,
you can just simply pulse some warm water and a couple of small drops of
dish soap to quickly clean the bowl and blades. The KitchenAid Food Processor is also very easy
to clean. Its sealed, leak-resistant work bowl means less food gets trapped in the bowl and lid.
Also, the bowl, lid, and accessories are all dishwasher-safe. Just leave it in
the dishwasher and it s good to go. With both machines being completely
dishwasher-safe, it s challenging to pick a winner for this category. If we had to nitpick, however,
we would have to pick the KitchenAid Food Processor since its work bowl is
leak-resistant. Going the extra mile really helped make cleanups that much more convenient,
and for that reason, we are choosing it as the clear winner of this category and this battle.
Finally, we have come to the end of this battle of food processors between
the Ninja Food Processor and the KitchenAid Food Processor. Even though it was a very tough fight,
the KitchenAid Food Processor beats the Ninja Food Processor by a narrow margin of one point.
Although the Ninja Food Processor lost this battle,
it would be amiss to say that it doesn t make a worthwhile investment for your kitchen.
In fact, we highly suggest this for you if what you re looking for is a machine that
has the extra power to spare for all those tough kitchen applications you might need in
a professional kitchen space. If you re all good with versatility and ease of cleaning, however,
then the KitchenAid Food Processor is definitely an ideal match for you.
As much as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful features
these food processors offer, there can only be one victor today and the KitchenAid Food Processor
has already claimed its throne as it waits for yet one more battle with another formidable opponent.
