Firstly, you can replace the bowl with a spare one from the kit in case of damage to the first, and secondly, you will also save time during the cooking process: while one bowl is busy or is being washed, you can safely use the second one.

What to consider when choosing a food processor?

When buying a food processor, it is imperative to clarify the following characteristics:

Engine power. Power accounting depends on the working volume of the bowl and is calculated in an approximate ratio of 200: 1 - that is, for a combine with a bowl size of one and a half liters, the engine must produce at least 300 watts of power, otherwise the combine will not cope with its functions normally .;
Engine speed: it should be high and preferably adjustable. If it is possible to change it, you can choose a low speed for mixing and a high speed for grinding;
Bowl material and workmanship. Try not to buy food combines with plastic bowls, as they, over time, absorb the smell and taste of previously used ingredients, which affects the preparation of new products;
Equipment. Be sure to check the list of included attachments. Even eminent manufacturers are often cunning and do not supply their models with all types of attachments: as a result, they have to be bought for a fee.

Food processors are one of the most popular types of household appliances with a very broad functionality. Typically, such a unit is equipped with a bowl with a chopper, a vegetable cutter, a significant number of attachments, which are designed to facilitate food preparation, make it faster and more convenient.

However, choosing the right device is not easy, since the combines are very different from each other in a number of parameters. Be sure to pay attention to the following points:

Power, number of rotation speeds, the possibility of their smooth adjustment;
The material from which the body and thicket are made;
Bowl capacity;
A set of nozzles;
Blade material;
Ergonomics;
Functionality.
