1. Is the design dangerous?
Because a food processor is a spinning metal blade at high speeds this can be a real issue. For example the blade can break off and fly through the plastic into someone. At the speeds these food processors go at this is a real and serious danger. So do google reviews about the food processor you are looking at buying and see if this is an issue for the model you are looking at. From my research I found that the blades can break off when the structure of the food processor is not built correctly.
2. How reliable is it?
The motor is possibly the most important part in the food processor and also it is also the part that is most likely to fail. You should definitely read reviews on this before you buy because if you don't you could be in for a shock when you try to use it the second time and it doesn't work!
3. The build quality.
You must be sure to get a food processor that has been built well. If not you could quite easily break the plastic or get cracks in it rendering it useless.
4. Button design.
If you cannot clean it easily without liquid seeping deep into the electronics this could cause you problems. As liquids get down under the buttons and stop it from working. What you want is a design which has no way for liquids to get under the button.
5. Is it going to be big enough for your use?
You do need to know what you will be putting into your food processor. If for example you are going to chop pumpkin a lot of the smaller capacity ones will not be enough. Think about what you will put into it to know what size you will need.
6. How loud it will be?
Food processors are generally loud however some can be excessively loud. This can be annoying for people around you when you try cook. Or alternatively if you try use it at an hour when people are trying to sleep or it is quiet.
7. Will it be able to create the effect you are after?
Some have reported that their food processor wasn't able to reproduce the right affect. For example they wanted crushed dried nuts but instead got a paste.
8. How easy is it going to be clean?
Generally these are pretty easy to clean. However sometimes when there is a chute to put food in this can be a pain to clean because the chute is small. Have a read of reviews to see if this is the same for you.
9. Is it overpriced?
Sometimes you can get the exact same features and specifications minus a few additional parts for a significant saving! Nearly 40% savings. Remember to shop around AND look at other brands, you may find a bargain.
10. Parts that are used to cut, slice and dice (and all the other parts that can be used).
Sometimes the companies make one part do 2 things. For example a slicer can be a shredder just by turning it over. The problem with this is that if you are going to use both you have to clean it during your cooking. That is a major hassle! I don't want more work! I want less work!
