A food processor operation is similar to operation of blenders in many ways. The main difference is that food processor has exchangeable blades, disks and other attachments and the blender has fixed attachment. The food processor has extra wide and shorter bowl which suits appropriately for the shape for the solid or semi solid foods.

While using the blender the user need to add water to move the food inside the device around its blade but while using food processor there is no need to add water while processing the food inside the device. Thus with the extra attachments a food processor are used by the user to chop, grind, grate slice, knead etc.

The food processor effectively saves time and allows the user to have multiple functions in single application. Different types of food processors are available in the market.

But better to choose a larger capacity food processor which will serve the small families during parties and special functions. Then decide whether there is a need of any extra slicing discs or shredding discs. Most food processors are sufficient without extras, but the user can add extra discs as needed.
