My standard rating methods were useless here because restaurateurs and chef are not so much into providing review of the food processors they use. I was a slow repetitive processor, but it now allows me to offer you the precise numbers (%) of how many of them voted for a certain product. In these conversations with the chefs, I learned a few things on what the PROs are looking for when getting a commercial food processor. Let’s take a more in depth look into the models they recommended: Precise dicing: First model in the industry to introduce hands-free dicing that meets professional standards, this model makes the dicing effortless. Adjustable speed: The external lever can slice from thick to thin in one smooth slide. The speed levels featured in this professional food processor are optimised so that you can choose one that precisely suits different types of food, from hardest to softest. Super wide and versatile feed tube: 3 in 1 feed tube (Ultra Wide) designed to offer a choice between horizontal and vertical slicing.

Full capacity used: What the label says is what you get. Most of the lower-end food processors list one volume but have an engraved maximum capacity that’s lower than the one listed. Not the case with KFP1642SR – the locking system and with an ultra-light seal and leak-resistant rings allows the food processor to be filled to the full listed volume without any risk of spilling the food. Ergonomic handle: The handle is designed to minimize wrist fatigue – soft-grip and non slip design. This is a commercial food processor that can meet the needs of the biggest of restaurants, its main strength being variable speeds that are completely computer controlled. The shipping weight of this robust thing is close to 99 pounds, unit weight 92 pounds.

Over a dozen optional discs available for slicing, grating, chopping, mixing, shredding and Julienne.

Final thoughts on the Waring FP2200: This commercial food processor fits somewhere in-between the two previous entries on our list. Not as powerful as the Robot Coupe R602VC it is better suited for smaller kitchens and restaurant.kitchenaid artisan 4l food processor review Even with all the features and power it’s still easy to use. kitchenaid artisan stand mixer lakelandWhen you read all of the above, you would think that it must include complicated controls, but you would be wrong. kitchenaid artisan 4l food processor reviewIt includes just 3 buttons – On, Off and Pulse.cuisinart spb-600 smartpower deluxe die cast blender 48-ounce

One the main strengths is that it offers the convenience of basically having 2 types of processors in one unit (batch bowl and continuous feed). The oval chute is 6.5 x 3 ” (length and width) which can comfortably allow for a continuous flow of feeding.hamilton beach blender 51101r Smartly designed so that you don’t need to empty the batch bowl, it automatically feeds into your ingredient bowl or bins for storage.breville the all in one 700w stick mixer review Safety-conscious design – the interlock system does not allow for the unit to be turned on if not properly assembled.stainless steel vitamix tnc blender Easy to clean – everything added feature comes of easily and is safe for a dishwasher – covers, batch bowls, food pushers – everything.

Another entry on the list coming from Robot Coupe. Back in my 9-5 office days, I knew that they were kind of a big deal in the commercial food processors industry, but I have to be honest and say I am surprised by what I heard from the chefs while taking the poll to compile this guide. Surprised at how dominant they are when it comes to bigger restaurants with bigger volume needs. I’ll let you in on something else here – two of their models got to this list, but 5 got to the list of 10. Granted, these are far behind the models presented here, but still – half of the list of top 10 being Robot Coupe commercial products, that’s huge… Getting back to this specific unit. See what actual buyers had to say about this amazing food processor on this dedicated Amazon page. This model is for those restaurateurs and chefs who really understand the value of seconds saved and will not settle. This monster of a food processor can process up to 700 pounds of food per hour.

That fact alone says a lot. KitchenAid is an American brand of appliances and it’s owned by the Whirlpool corporation. It was originally established in 1919 and their primary focus at the time was stand mixers. They started expanding their portfolio of products in 1949 when they started making dishwashers. Today they are best known for small home appliances, but as you saw in this guide they mean business even in the arena of more powerful commercial food processors. Based in Jackson, Mississippi, Robot Coupe started their story about 30 years ago. With their innovative product they completely changed the landscape of food processors, by showing restaurant owners how much time can be saved by the use of their owners. Since those baby years, Robot Coupe has grown beyond anything the founders could imagine. Today, it is an industry standard in commercial food processors. I must admit that, even though I am in the industry for years, before compiling the chef poll and this guide, I wasn’t aware of how dominant they are in the field.

They are leaders of the industry in most of the paramount aspects like innovation, quality, ease of use and customer service. Just recently they have been honored by the industry community of dealers and broadliners by being titled “Best in Class” in the arena of food processors. Some of the other products they are famous for: Best known as the company that introduced the blender to Americans, Waring is one of the leaders in the industry of commercial food processors, home appliances and lab equipment. Since Fred Waring, the founder, introduced what he called “the miracle mixer” in 1937 the company growth was unstoppable. The name of the product was changed to “Waring Blendor” and, for Waring Corporation, it was only uphill from there. They are also well known for producing highest quality grills, toaster and similar heat appliances. The line Waring Pro brought a wide range of professional quality products to the market – everything from professional food processors to juicers and waffle makers.

With almost 80 years of experience and constant progress, it’s not strange that Waring had two entries to the list in this guide. One thing to keep in mind when reading this guide is the fact that from all the chefs I contacted, most of the ones that agreed to take part in the poll are working in smaller restaurants. This brought some bias to the poll and that’s exactly why I included the extra column in the table of the “winners” that indicates the size of the establishment or restaurant the unit is best suited for. Although by Far the least expensive, the first entry on the list is best suited for diners and restaurants that have similar needs in terms of food processing. Bigger establishments that organize events would probably be better off with one of the items in the table (top of the page) marked with “Bigger venues/restaurants”. Within this guide I tried to do my best to provide as much detailed reviews of commercial food processors as possible, but my expertise in the industry here is far less important than the real life experiences of chefs actually using the units on daily basis.
