Black+Decker FP1600B 8-Cup Food Processor
Score: 77/100
KitchenAid 9-Cup Food Processor KFP0921
Score: 81/100Rankings
The KitchenAid 9-cup processor delivers versatile functionality, including a dough blade and high-rpm motor, while featuring a BPA-free bowl for safe puree preparation. Its 240 W motor is less powerful than some rivals, and it lacks a safety interlock. Suited for cooks who need a balanced mix of capacity and accessories.
The BLACK+DECKER FP1600B delivers a reliable 450 W motor and a generous 8-cup bowl, making it a solid choice for everyday chopping and slicing. Its single speed and modest pureeing ability, plus some durability worries, limit its versatility for more demanding tasks. Suited for home cooks who need basic prep functions without extra attachments.

Professional reviewers commend the FP1600B for its solid chopping, slicing, shredding, and grating performance, noting the reversible blade and generous 8-cup bowl as strong points. However, they criticize the limited speed control, absence of advanced attachments, and only fair pureeing ability, while also flagging potential motor durability concerns despite the two-year warranty.
Everyday users generally like the processor's power, ease of cleaning, and value for basic prep tasks, especially for chopping and shredding vegetables. Recurring frustrations focus on weak pureeing, limited speed settings, and worries about long-term motor reliability, leading to mixed overall satisfaction.
“Stainless steel chopping blade provides consistent, precise cuts for onions, almonds, and other ingredients.”
“Reversible slice/shred disc allows both slicing vegetables and shredding cheese or carrots with one accessory.”
“The size is also very practical. It is not too small and definitely not too big”
Limited user feedback is available, but the few comments highlight appreciation for the practical 9-cup size, the ability to match KitchenAid's color palette, and the convenient storage system that keeps accessories inside the bowl.
