Types Of Food Processor
Food processors can be very versatile depending on the blades and discs they come with.
Generally, there are 3 types you can find:
1. Batch Bowl Food Processors
Suitable for small-medium households, batch bowl food processors give you the option to rotate between 2 bowls.
Many come with the necessary accessories to grate, slice, chop, whip, puree, etc. The resulting product is fine but will not be a precise size.
2. Continuous Feed Food Processors
A restaurant or very large household would find more use for these continuous feed food processors!
As the name implies, you keep adding ingredients in while the chopping is in progress! You can push down a lever or stick to aid the process.
This type of food processor is capable of cutting your food into specific sizes (e.g. ½” or 3/8”).
3. Combination Food Processors
Combination food processors integrate both of the previous types mentioned earlier.
Food Processors Vs. Blenders
A blender is meant to liquefy food, like when you want to make milkshakes, smoothies or puree.
Food processors are able to do the same and much more, with the help of their various accessories.
Food Processors Vs. Food Choppers
On the other side of the spectrum, food choppers are usually much smaller than food processors. They have a series of blades inside a container.
And since they are typically manual, these food choppers are only convenient for light or quick use. For example, cutting up ginger, onions or garlic!
11 Best Food Processors In Malaysia 2023
Our recommendations:
- Best Quality Mini Chopper – Midea Glass Jar Chopper MBC-06PK
- Best Budget Chopper – HETCH Food Chopper FCH-1605-HC
- Best Budget Multi-Functional Food Processor – Pensonic Multi-Functional Food Processor PB-5001
- Best Space-Saving Food Processor – Kenwood Multipro Compact Food Processor FDM302SS
- Best Multi-functional Food Processor – Philips Daily Collection Compact Food Processor HR7320
- Best Food Processor For Large Families – Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461
To start this list off, we’ll talk about a few powered mini choppers before heading on to the food processors!
1. Midea Glass Jar Chopper MBC-06PK
Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK is small and compact. Cat ears and the baby pink exterior give this chopper an adorable appearance.
But this glass food chopper is also functional. Onions, garlic, carrots, and even minced pork (for making homemade luncheon meat) are fair game.
However, this food chopper cannot handle any leafy greens (e.g., to make pesto sauce). And you cannot grind up smaller spices like fennel seeds with this food chopper.
It does make noise in operation too but what we like is that it really won’t start unless you put the lid on right.
To use this chopper, just push down the top, and hold it down for as long as you need it to grind up your ingredients. We need less than 8 seconds for mincing garlic with this food chopper.
The Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK has a quite a few parts to wash (inner lid, blade and main jar) but handwashing these parts is easy.
At under RM80, there are no additional accessories for the Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK.
Overall, this isn’t the most versatile food chopper. But the Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK is affordable, well made, and practical enough for basic kitchen ingredients. Plus, you can put it away easily when you don’t need it.
The Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK is about RM20 more than the Khind Mini Chopper FPC808, but it’s also more powerful (200W vs 80W).
And while the Midea Glass Jar Chopper, MBC-06PK is fine for small households, the similarly priced HETCH Food Chopper FCH-1605-HC has double the capacity (1.8L vs 0.6L).
- Type: Food Chopper
- Capacity: 0.6 L
- Power: 200 W
- Bowl Material: Glass
- Speed Settings: 1
- Cutter: 3 stainless steel blades
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: RM78

Cons:

2. Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7
If you don’t mind spending more than RM100 on a glass food chopper, the Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7 is worthy of consideration.
First off, the build quality of the Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7 is sound (e.g., the glass is thick). And for wet ingredients like chili and minced meat, it’s a capable food chopper too.
Additionally, it isn’t very noisy.
That 300W of the Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7 may be too low for some though – it cannot chop up nuts.
And thus, you can look into the pricier Pensonic Multi-Functional Food Processor PB-5001 instead if you want more power (550W). However, the Pensonic Multi-Functional Food Processor PB-5001 is not made of glass.
We think most families will be happy with the Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7. It’s got great build quality and the power and capacity is enough for grinding meat as well as common ingredients in Asian cooking.
If you want it to do more than that however, you will be disappointed since the Bear Electric Chopper QSJ-B03Y7 doesn’t come with any special functions or accessories.

3. Khind Mini Chopper FPC808
With a price around ~RM65, it’s hard to ignore the mini chopper, FPC808 by Khind!
The container is made of BPA-free plastic while the blades are made of SUS304 stainless steel! And there’s a thermal fuse for overheating protection!
You can use it to chop meat and other dried food like fruits and vegetables. But nothing too hard since the power is only rated at 80W!
For its low price, you can expect the product quality to be average. The Khind Mini Chopper FPC808 seems prone to breaking, especially during the delivery.

If you don’t mind the noise, you can consider the Khind FPC808!

It’s definitely not cheap, but the KitchenAid 3.5 Cups Mini Food Chopper 5KFC3516 may just sway you with its attractive design and available colors (the guava glaze, white and ice blue are popular shades).
Looks aside, it’s dependable enough for daily use, light ingredients and for making small batches of food.
Especially if you always puree food or make sauces (e.g. pesto) from scratch! Because there’s a tube at the top of the lid that you can use to drizzle in oil gradually!
The food processor is easy to use as long as you make sure that you lock it into the base correctly.
Bear in mind that the 240W motor is not enough for nuts or harder ingredients.

Replacing the former FDP301SI:
The Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor FDM302SS also comes with a processing bowl (2.1L) and blender jar (1.2L). And 800W of power. Which is the same as its predecessor, the Kenwood FDP301SI Multipro Compact Food Processor.
The difference between them (besides the color – the older FDP301SI has gray instead of black handles) are the additional accessories that come with the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS.
These are the reversible 2mm disk for thin slices and fine grating, a mill, rasping disc, twin whisks and a dough tool.
With the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS, you can make your own peanut butter, and even thin slices of potatoes.
Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461 however, has similar specifications (slightly larger capacity for both processing bowl and blender jar, and slightly lower power, 700W) to the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS.
On top of this, the Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461 also comes with multiple attachments for chopping, emulsifying shredding, grating, slicing too. And a 2-year warranty.
However, the Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461 is visibly bulkier than the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS. The Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS does looks a lot more impressive on the counter.
Yet, there’s no ignoring the high price tag of the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor, FDM302SS.
Because the Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461 is significantly cheaper (by ~RM150) than the Kenwood MultiPro Compact Food Processor FDM302SS, it is the more logical option for those with a budget under RM500.

Both cost more than RM350, pack a 700W motor, and come with a blender jug and numerous functions! Although the Tefal EasyForce Food Processor DO2461 has the bigger capacity between the two models!
With the Philips Daily Collection Compact Food Processor HR7320, there’s a 2-in-1 disc for shredding and slicing.
Besides other tools for whisking eggs, kneading dough and mincing meat! However, it is not suitable for making pureeing food!
The feeding tube of the Philips HR7320 has a wide opening, reducing the need to pre-cut ingredients!
It is compact but powerful. The plastic body is thick and not made of cheap material. The blades are also of good quality. And can slice their way through many types of food.

However, the best part about the Philips HR7320 is that the motor does not overheat.
At this price, this is still an affordable food processor that will meet most of your cooking needs for a large household or batch meal preps!

11. Boboduck 4 in 1 Baby Food Processor F9005
Boboduck 4 in 1 Baby Food Processor F9005 is marketed as a “baby kitchen” where you can steam and stir, and blend food all in the same device!
Best of all, there’s a timer so you can leave it on its own too! And no, you can’t cook rice with it. But steaming vegetables and fruit is fine! It takes smaller quantities better than other food processors do.
The metal steam basket can be conveniently flipped from the outside so you don’t have to open the lid and stir the ingredients!
Beyond steaming and pureeing baby food, you can use it to reheat food (via steam), blend milkshakes and fruit juice.
Though we would not try blending anything as hard as a raw carrot or potato with just a 60W motor! Despite the lower power, the motor is quite loud too!
And other than the overheat protection, another safety feature is that it turns off if you open it mid-operation!
Note: Manual is in Chinese.

How To Choose The Right Food Processor For Your Kitchen
1. Size/Capacity
Overheating is a common problem among food processors. So try not to overwork your food processor!
Larger food processors don’t overheat as fast as the smaller ones.
You need to take the bowl capacity into consideration too. A bigger bowl means you can do less batches! The bowl should have a wide base too.
However, a bigger bowl often means lower efficiency for smaller amounts of ingredients!
2. Power
Along with the blades, the motor is the most crucial part of any food processor.
400-700W is good enough to deal with pastry, nuts and to grate cheese.
A large food processor should have a power rating of at least 600W.
3. Food Processor Price (Budget)
You can find food processors starting from RM180!
The larger and more complex models fall within RM300 to RM800.
4. Other Features To Consider:
- Pulse mode
- Speed settings
- Sturdy base
- Simple design (easy to wash)
- Extra accessories like grating discs, juicer and dough blades
- Warranty for the motor
- Self-clean feature
You know what else saves time in the kitchen? Multi cookers!
How To Clean And Maintain Food Processors
Take proper care of your food processor and it’ll last longer!
- Pre-chop harder ingredients before putting them in
- Never completely fill up the food processor
- Avoid very sticky ingredients which can strain the motor
- If you need to remove odors, let the bowl sit in a solution of water and baking soda for 15 minutes or so, then dry it
- Always unplug your food processor before cleaning
- Wipe down the exterior once in a while
- The bowl and blades should be rinsed after use
Conclusion
The best food processors in Malaysia can cost a few hundred ringgit so make sure you buy one that really suits your needs! Look at the available functions, accessories, and motor power closely!
Most food processors can chop vegetables and meat. But not all models are suitable for baking preparation or as an alternative for a blender!
