2. Bosch MC812S734G 3.9 Litre Food Processor
This 1,200W food processor has seven attachments in a handy bag for chopping and blending, whisking and juicing. With incredibly sharp steel blades, it’s great for slicing veg and grating cheese. It has five speeds, and a large 3.9-litre bowl.
3. Kenwood FDP22.130GY MultiPro Go
Kenwood’s smallest food processor – it has just one blade, a slicer and a grater – punches above its weight. At 650W, it has only one speed, but is streamlined and quick, and the 1.3-litre bowl is good for small families.

5. Magimix 4200XL
This quick, sturdy 590W machine has a 3-litre bowl and can slice, chop, grate, beat and knead. It has nine attachments, including a BlenderMix for liquidising, and a mini processor.
