Overview
Philips food processors offer you versatility in the kitchen and, if you spend a lot of time cooking, and regularly entertaining guests then a processor can save you a lot of time and hassle. You can also find a food processor Philips with a range of attachments that will simplify shredding, slicing, whisking, blending and grinding. With some of the more powerful, high-end models you can also do the most arduous task like mix dough and crush ice.
A Philips food processor also allows you to get greater precision in all these tasks by automating the process and saving you the manual labour. The power of the processor usually determines the price – as well as what range of attachments the processor comes with. A model with over 800 Watts power will easily handle the hardest processing tasks.
If you regularly cook in one person size portions then you can also find small, compact models that do the basics without taking up too much worktop space and costing you too much. Compact Philips food processors are also portable so you could tuck them away in a kitchen cupboard when not in use.
The Philips HR 7620 is an entry-level food processor which is a great choice if you aren’t a heavy user or if you’re looking for a budget model. It has 500 Watts which is enough power to complete basic tasks such as processing fruit, vegetables, meats and sauces. But if you want to perform more challenging processing foods then you might need a model with more power. It is an ideal size for processing food for one or two people and comes with a two litre container capacity. You can enjoy two different speed settings, with a pulse function, and the model comes with an added blender attachment.
If you want a Philips food processor that can offer a bit more then you need to look at the mid-range price bracket of models. The Philips HR7774 is a step-up from the HR7620 and is made from glass, not plastic. The extra money gives you more power and the processor offers 1,000 Watts which should be able to handle every processing task. It has the same sized capacity as the HR7620 – so if you regularly cook for large numbers then you may want to look for a model with a bigger container.
The Philips HR7781 offers a massive 4.5 litres capacity so you can process enough food for lots of people which is great if you are regularly entertaining guests. It also offers 3000 Watts of power which puts it in the top-end price bracket. The extra money also gets you ten different speed settings so you have a more precise control over your processing.
The high-end HR7781 Philips food processor comes with an impressive five-year product guarantee and you even get a 15-year guarantee on the motor – so although you will be paying more for the model it should last a lifetime. The entry-level HR7620 offers a two-year guarantee.
