Multifunctional food processor
Kitchenaid KFP0718BM
Best Multifunctional food processor – Performance – 60 $ to 170 $
Choose the KitchenAid KFP0718BM if you want a compact food processor for everyday recipes, hummus, salads and small-to-medium batches. Buyers praise its simple assembly, easy cleanup and useful size. Published testing, as summarized in an Avis de Gemini, also points to smart storage and quick setup. It is the step up from a basic budget option when handling and day-to-day versatility matter more than perfect uniformity.
Our Performance pick for everyday prep
The KITCHENAID KFP0718BM fits cooks who want one straightforward machine for regular kitchen work without moving to a larger, more elaborate system. Buyers say it is easy to assemble, use and take apart, and several describe it as a good size for standard recipes. One buyer found it much quicker for hummus than a blender. Another used it successfully for radishes and cucumbers. That combination of manageable size, basic versatility and easy care is why we place it in the Performance range.
The KitchenAid KFP0718BM is our Performance choice because it makes everyday processing uncomplicated. Buyers repeatedly praise its quality, simple assembly and cleaning, while the 7-cup bowl suits standard recipes without taking up the space of a larger machine. A buyer specifically found it faster and easier than a blender for hummus. Avis de Gemini, based on the published TechRadar test, also highlights quick setup, useful accessory storage inside the bowl and easy cleaning. The trade-off is consistency: some buyers report weak results with very small quantities, and the published test summary notes uneven cutting and grating in some tasks.
Who it’s for For cooks making hummus, salads, chopped vegetables and other everyday batches who value simple handling and cleanup in a compact processor.
What sets it apart

- Cleaning is widely praised, including dishwasher use for the removable parts.
- A buyer found it effective and quicker than a blender for hummus.

What to know
- Most buyers who mention durability report fragile plastic parts or a failure after limited use; this is the main durability concern to weigh before buying.
- Cutting and grating are not always even: buyers mention poor results with very small quantities, while Avis de Gemini's summaries of published tests note inconsistent results with some ingredients.
What it does well in the kitchen
The useful part of this model is not a long list of settings; it is the low-friction routine. Buyers say the pieces come apart easily for cleaning, and one notes that the parts go into the dishwasher. The lid can be removed fully, according to another buyer, which makes washing simpler. The bowl's size also lands between the smaller model one buyer had outgrown and a larger processor: buyers describe it as compact, movable and suitable for most standard recipes. For salads, hummus and everyday chopping, that balance is the reason to choose this range.
