The Good Housekeeping Institute’s Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab has tested more than 30 food processors, including mini food processors in recent years. For the minis, we assessed each one's ability to chop onions (with both the minimum and maximum load), mince parsley, and grind Parmesan cheese. We took note of how quickly

each model performed these tasks and how much food was left unprocessed. We also checked the ease of use: How helpful is the owner’s manual? How easy are the blades and lid to assemble? How intuitive and easy are the controls? What range of settings are included? How easy is it to clean?

Those that came out on top made our list of the sbest mini food processor. Our recommendations include tried-and-true favorites as well as new models that have unique features like glass bowls for storing, whipping accessories, or cordless power. Though we haven't tested them all formally in the Lab, they come from Lab-trusted brands and years of experience testing kitchen appliances
