Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor provides a powerful 1000W peak motor, Auto-iQ presets and a compact 9-cup bowl for everyday family cooking. Its limited capacity and short warranty are notable trade-offs. Best suited for users who prioritize power and ease of use over premium features.
The KitchenAid Empire Red 7-cup processor offers a clever all-in-one storage solution and snap-and-go bowl design, making it easy to set up and clean in small kitchens. Its limited bowl capacity and plastic base may not satisfy users needing larger batches or a more premium feel. Ideal for single cooks or couples who value compactness and convenience.

Professional reviewers commend the KFP0718ER for its compact, lightweight design, snap-and-go bowl and intuitive 3-speed LED controls, noting it excels in small-batch prep and limited countertop spaces. However, they point out the lack of publicly available performance metrics and the modest 7-cup capacity, which makes it less suitable for larger households or demanding tasks compared to bigger KitchenAid models.
Everyday users consistently praise the processor's small size, easy handling, and the clever all-in-one storage that keeps parts together. The quick assembly and cleaning are highlighted as major conveniences, while the primary criticism revolves around the limited bowl capacity for larger meals.
“Lighter weight than most food processors, yet still so powerful. It's very convenient in that everything stores together, no misplaced pieces!”
Professional reviewers commend the Ninja Professional Plus for its powerful 1000 W peak motor, intuitive Auto-iQ presets, and solid value at under $200, noting its straightforward design and reliable performance. However, they point out the lack of premium features and the smaller 9-cup capacity compared to larger competitors, suggesting alternatives like the Cuisinart Custom 14 for big-batch needs.
Everyday users praise the processor's strong power, sharp blades, easy-to-use presets, and dishwasher-safe parts, highlighting its suitability for family cooking. Recurring complaints focus on excessive packaging, weight specification inconsistencies, and the absence of advanced attachments, making it feel basic for more demanding cooks.
