When it comes to food preparation, arguably one of the most tedious tasks has to be chopping up your ingredients. Whether you’re rough chopping vegetables, blitzing biscuits for a cheesecake base or trying to mix up your pizza dough, it’s one of the most time consuming jobs you have to do in the kitchen.

That’s why so many cooks now swear by using a food processor, which can be cutting up your ingredients for you whilst you get on with other food prep. If you’re looking to add one to your selection of appliances, now might be the perfect time as the Ninja Food Processor is now on sale.

Originally priced at £99.99, the Ninja Food Processor has now been slashed by 26% down to £73.88, saving you more than £25. You can use the Ninja food processor to do everything from chop and puree to mix, slice and grate, creating salads, burgers, sauces and doughs in minutes.

It has an automatic one-touch design that does all the hard work for you, and you can swap between four different automatic settings. The Ninja Food Processor also has three manual speed settings, and comes with a large 2.1 litre bowl that gives you plenty of room for preparing your ingredients.

You’ll also get interchangeable blades and attachments with it, including a dough tool, all of which are dishwasher safe to make cleaning up a breeze. It also has a handy feed chute that allows you to safely and easily add ingredients as you go.

Amazon shoppers have been singing its praises, with on calling it a: “Perfect little powerhouse of a food processor.”

A second shopper wrote: “Brilliant processor! I bought it for my wife to replace an old one. She’s used it several times now and is very impressed. It’s fast, easy to use and clean and looks great! She read the reviews and is very careful to avoid the super sharp cutting blades and uses a long handled brush to clean them. I got a discount on the price too! The cable winds around the base at the back so it’s hidden and tidy. It is noisy but I think they all are.”

Whilst another added: “Easy to set up and use. I started off by making pizza dough which my old, more powerful processor couldn't handle. The Ninja blasted through with no problems at all. The AUTO-IQ function is very handy and stops the machine when it thinks it's done. The rubber feet hold it in place so you can just set it running and do something else (although it made dough in about 30 seconds!)

“Another review states that the blades are very sharp. This is wrong - they are UNBELIEVABLY sharp! I'm now sporting several plasters from the mere slightest of touch. And the best bit, the bowl and all the blades can go in the dishwasher which will probably save me a fortune in band-aids.”

One shopper did mention: “Got this bought for me to replace my old ‘magic machine’. Used it for the first time yesterday and although it looks lovely , feels very solid and well made, I was disappointed with the whizzing feature. My old machine would crush porridge oats to dust - this one left large pieces. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it was not what I expected. Be warned, the blades are razor sharp!”

But another said: “Wow this is a neat piece of kit for the kitchen. Made an 8” cheesecake in no time. Easy to use and easy to clean . Nothing to dislike about it. Looks like cakes will start appearing more frequently in this household.”

Although Amazon is the cheapest we’ve spotted the Ninja Food Processor, you can also get it on offer directly from the Ninja website, where it’s been slashed down to £79. Or you can pick it up for £73.88 at Amazon while it’s on a limited time offer.

Elsewhere Kitchenaid has dropped the price of its Food Processor 3.1L from £319 to £239.25, whilst at Lakeland you can pick up the Kenwood 2-in-1 MultipPro Express Food Processor and Blender for £99.99.
