Our score: 70 / 100
Read our full Ninja Professional Food Processor review →
What we like
- 1000-watt motor pushes through dough and nuts that stall cheaper processors
- Total Crushing blade handles ice and frozen fruit without complaint
- Noticeably cheaper than KitchenAid or Cuisinart at a similar or bigger power rating
- Dishwasher-safe parts cut down cleanup time
What we don't
- Bowl and lid feel and sound more plastic-y than metal-bodied competitors
- Lid latch takes a firm, specific push to seat correctly — easy to think it's locked when it isn't
- Louder than the KitchenAid or Cuisinart at comparable settings
- 1000 watts is a peak rating — sustained power under a heavy load is lower
