A reliable food processor can cost as little as ~S$40. While the larger and more versatile ones can reach S$800! So it can get confusing with so many options in between!
Read these reviews on food processors in Singapore. To find one that will work best for you!
Food Processor Vs Blender
What’s the difference?
The line starts to blur if you look at multifunctional blenders:
But the main difference is:
Blenders are for making smooth liquids (i.e. pureed soup or smoothies).
While food processors are more for slicing, grating, shredding, or chopping up thicker solids (i.e. dry food) to a desired size!
Blades of a food processor are generally ridged and/or sharper than those in a blender. The positioning of the individual blades may be different too.
Another physical difference is the wide bowl that food processors use. Blenders in comparison, use tall and narrow jugs.
Either device will save you time in the kitchen!

1. Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5
Given its huge capacity, the Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5 is great for preparing large batches of food.
It’s certainly not a space-saving appliance though. But this hefty food chopper is not as heavy as it looks. Plus, it is really easy to use.
You can use the Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5 to grind meat, besides vegetables. As these will be done in a matter of seconds!
However, its strong point is not fine dicing (e.g., for making homemade chili).
Furthermore, you cannot use this food chopper continuously for more than 25 seconds. It does heat up and will need time (typically a few minutes) to cool down.
There is another similar priced food processor if you’re looking for a large capacity food chopper for grinding meat:
The Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor features a glass bowl, lower power (300W vs 350W) but is $10 cheaper than the Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5.
If you are not specifically looking for a food chopper with a glass bowl, the Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5 still offers great value for money since the warranty period is twice as long as the Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Long warranty for the price point
- Simple practical design
- Easy to use and clean
- Lightweight
- Big food capacity
Cons:
- Not powerful enough to chop hard ingredients
- Bulky design
- 2-pin plug requires an adapter
- No other accessories provided
- Power: 350 W
- Working Capacity: 2.5 L (Bowl)
- Jar & Bowl Material: 304 Food Grade Stainless Steel
- Warranty: 2 years
- Price: ~$40

2. Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor
For just $30, the Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor is considerable value-for-money. Not only is the main bowl of thick glass, but you do get an extra rubber ring plus a spatula.
The glass helps to insulate the sound when the food chopper is in operation.
It’s very easy to use this food chopper and best of all, it takes hardly any time to grind meat with the Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor.
And even though it has only 2 speeds and no other functions, this food chopper can take on harder ingredients like beetroot and even ice too.
The capacity of the Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor makes it most suitable for households of 4 pax. Saying that, this food chopper is not efficient unless you have many ingredients to fill the bowl.
If you want to see a comparison between the Simplus 1.8L Stainless Steel Food Processor and the Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5, please refer to the description of Bear 2.5L Food Chopper QSJ-C04H5 in this same post.
Pros:

3. Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461
Store all 6 accessories (aside from the blender jug) neatly inside the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461!
There are an astounding 25 functions with this food maker, including kneading and emulsifying! It can shred and grate vegetables, make smoothies and bean milks, nut butter, etc.
Watch it in action:
While the price is similar to the Philips Compact Food Processor HR7320/01, the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 is not as beginner-friendly!
In fact, a few users complained that the manual is not helpful! And it can take a while to figure out its operation.
One user also felt that the single blade was insufficient for the capacity of the chopper. The actual capacity of the food processor is closer to 1.4L rather than the stated 2.4L too.
If you have experience with food processors, you will still find the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 great value-for-money because of its multi-funtionality!
Pros:
- Large capacity
- Blades are extremely sharp!
- Suction cups at the bottom
- Easy operation once you know how (3 speeds and 1 pulse mode)
- Lightweight
- Long warranty
- Clean appealing design
Cons:
- Quite loud
- Does not feel very solid (plastic parts feel thin compared to Philips and Kenwood products)
- Not recommended for beginners
- Not for grinding meat
- Power: 700 W
- Working Capacity: 2.4 L (Bowl), 1.8 L (Jar)
- Jar & Bowl Material: BPAFree

4. KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor 5KFP0719B
How about a food processor that complements or elevates your kitchen style?
The KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor 5KFP0719B comes in silver, cream, red and matte grey or black! They also have a great food mixer in the same range!
Watch this video (Assembly and how to use it):
Watch this video (Covers the use of the accessories):
Users are pleased with the build quality. You don’t have to twist the bowl (or the lid) on/ off! And the feed tube cater mechanism is intentionally designed to accommodate both liquid and solid ingredients.
However, the food processor has limited uses compared to other cheaper models. But it does those functions well enough.
That includes pureeing sauces (e.g. tartar sauce or salsa) and chopping up vegetables (e.g. carrots and cabbage up for coleslaw), grating cheese, etc.
You may notice that there is no jug for making smoothies. That could be a deal breaker for some users! That, or the short warranty and lower power!
The KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor 5KFP0719B definitely wins for the most attractive food processor though!
Pros:
- Many accessories (7-cup work bowl, dough blade, reversible medium slicing/shredding disc, multi-purpose blade, and thick slicing disc)
- Easy to wash (food is not easily trapped)
- Compact space-saving design that stores neatly
- Simple interface
- Incredibly stylish
Cons:
- Pricey
- Not powerful enough for nuts
- Not as versatile as other cheaper food processors
- No blender jug
- Power: 250 W
- Working Capacity: 7 Cup Capacity (1.66 L)
- Jar & Bowl Material: BPAFree
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: ~$329

5. Bosch MultiTalent 3 Food Processor MCM3501MGB
For a similar price, you can get the Bosch MultiTalent 3 Food Processor MCM3501MGB!
The brushed stainless steel interior gives the sturdy food chopper a premium look and feel! You can set it up fast and have your ingredients ready in no time!
What we like is that you can turn it into a smaller chopper to grind nuts or even coffee beans! It’s possible to cut cooked meat on the second speed setting. Kneading dough only requires speed one.
Note that the food processor can sound rather high-pitched at the second speed.
It takes some acquainting with the accessories before you can use them though. There are some provided recipes along with the not-so-straightforward instructions.
The food processor can make frothy smoothies too, unlike the KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor 5KFP0719B! However, some users said the blade mount can break/ wear out within months or from heavy-duty use!
Still, considering that it has so many functions and accessories, with adequate capacity for small families:
The Bosch MultiTalent 3 Food Processor MCM3501MGB is a worthy investment for avid home cooks.
Note: If yours doesn’t start, it may be that the bowl and lid are not incorrect alignment!
Pros:
- Sleek profile
- Generous with accessories
- Large capacity
- Incredibly versatile (~50 functions)

- Power: 800 W
- Working Capacity: 2.3 L (Bowl), 1 L (Jar)
- Jar & Bowl Material: BPAFree
- Warranty: 2 years

Make your own sausages with the Sencor Multi-Function Food Processor STM 4467CH! A viable option for a meat grinder in Singapore!
The build is mostly of plastic, but the quality is excellent! Some of the accessories (e.g. whisk and dough hook) are made of metal! And not to mention, it’s a pretty stylish appliance to have on your counter!
If you manage to find it for much cheaper – double-check that it still has all the accessories! Some sellers omit the graters!
It’s not the best at making smoothies but the Sencor Multi-Function Food Processor STM 4467CH is very handy to both baking and cooking enthusiasts!

7. Ninja Food Processor With Auto-iQ BN650
The Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650) is a nifty appliance can puree food (albeit not that smooth) and mince meat in seconds. Or mix dough in a matter or minutes.
PS: It has a self-cleaning function too.
And while it does that, it stays in place and looks great on your countertop. We do like the narrow footprint of the base.
You can see more possibilities for the Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650) from the provided recipe book.
As is the case for large food choppers, the Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650)’s weakness is its inability to process smaller amounts of food. You will not get very smooth paste out of it either.
Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 is a cheaper alternative to the Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650):
Compared to the Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650), the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 has a similar capacity (plus a blender jar), decent power (150W less), and 2 years warranty.
So, if your budget is around $200 and you don’t already own a blender, it’s tempting to get the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 instead of the pricier Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650).
But one drawback of the Tefal Multifunction Easyforce Food Processor DO2461 is its cheaper plastic-y build.
On the other hand, the Ninja Food Processor with Auto-iQ (BN650) really feels like it will last.
Pros:
- Blades are very sharp
- Slim profile
- Easy to clean up after using it
- Comes with a recipe booklet
- Sturdy when in operation
- Powerful
- Reasonably priced for the power and capacity
- Looks durable
Cons:
- Feed chute is a bit narrow
- Finishing could be better (some rough edges)
- Can’t replace a blender (i.e., not able to crush ice)
- Buttons are not that easy to push
- Short cable
- Short warranty for the price
- No additional accessories
- Power: 850 W
- Working Capacity: 2.1 L (Bowl)
- Bowl Material: Tritan BPAFree
- Warranty: 1 year

8. Cuisinart Expert Prep Pro Food Processor
Definitely at the higher end of the price spectrum for good food processors in Singapore:
Cuisinart Expert Prep Pro Food Processor may be intimidating to beginners! With all its individual accessories! Including attachments for dicing and spiralizing!
But it’s actually not that complex. Use it to shred vegetables or prepare curry ingredients (in small amounts) quickly!
Compared to other top-of-the-line food processors, its functions are basic (ironic for its name). But it does them all well. Shaving ice is possible with this food processor too!
This food processor is for people who don’t cook fancy stuff but cook often!
However, if you’re going to pay S$800+ for a food processor, it’s more worth it to get the MAGIMIX Compact-Noir Multifunction Food Processor 3200XL instead!
Except if you bake bread a lot. Because the Cuisinart Expert Prep Pro Food Processor is really good at kneading dough!

Want a practical reason to justify that high price? How about that 20-year warranty for the motor!
The MAGIMIX Compact-Noir Multifunction Food Processor 3200XL is a life-long investment for passionate cooks!
Don’t underestimate that handy 3-bowl system! All of which, are easy to clean.
Chop small amounts in the mini ball, and grate cheese and slice potatoes in the medium sized bowl! And hummus or shortbread in the main bowl!
Users like the generous feeding tube! The food processor is remarkably quiet too.
There’s a box to keep all the accessories neat and tidy too.
And the quality is ahead of other household brands like Philips and Kenwood. You may want to leave it on the counter permanently though as the whole processor is heavy.
Compared to the Magimix 3200XL, the more powerful Magimix 5200XL costs over S$1,000 but has a larger capacity (by 1L), a vegetable cutter, and an emulsifying disc.
If you’re fine with the 2.6L capacity, you can go with the Magimix 3200XL. As baking and cooking is still streamlined with this dependable kitchen workhorse to help out!

- Dicing and shredding vegetables
