Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor
Score: 77/100
The Hungry Artisan Food Mill
Score: 83/100Rankings

The Hungry Artisan Ergonomic Food Mill is a compact stainless-steel mill praised for its smooth, low-effort handle and versatile three-disc system. It is limited to softened foods and lacks an ultra-fine disc, with no clear batch capacity. Ideal for home cooks with limited space who need a reliable manual pureeing tool.

The Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor offers a powerful 1000 W peak motor and convenient Auto-iQ presets within a compact 9-cup footprint. Its smaller capacity and short warranty may deter power users seeking premium features. Ideal for families and everyday cooks who value speed and ease of use.

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.

“smooth turning”



Professional reviewers and editors commend the Hungry Artisan for its ergonomic, low-effort handle, compact footprint, and precise grinding discs that excel in recipes like applesauce and tomato sauce. However, coverage is sparse and they note the absence of the ultra-fine disc found in the premium version.
Everyday users praise the mill's smooth turning, easy disassembly for storage, and versatility across baby foods, jams, soups, and mashed potatoes, while noting the need for softened foods and wishing for clearer capacity guidance.
