About Food Processor Australia
We're passionate kitchen enthusiasts on a mission to help every Australian home cook find their perfect food processor.
Our Story
Food Processor Australia began in 2024 when a group of home cooking enthusiasts realised there was a significant gap in the Australian market: trustworthy, comprehensive guidance on choosing kitchen appliances. We had all experienced the frustration of purchasing food processors that didn't meet our needs—some were underpowered for kneading bread dough, others had bowls too small for batch cooking, and many came with attachments that gathered dust because we didn't understand how to use them.
After countless hours spent in our own kitchens testing everything from basic choppers to professional-grade workhorses, we decided to share our knowledge with fellow Australians. Our team has collectively owned and operated over 40 different food processors, from budget-friendly Philips units to premium Breville Kitchen Wizz models. We've made fresh pasta dough at midnight, processed kilograms of vegetables for Christmas entertaining, and discovered which machines truly stand up to the demands of everyday Australian cooking.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach. We don't simply aggregate specifications from manufacturer websites—we actually use these appliances in real kitchens, processing real ingredients. We know which motors overheat when making nut butter, which feed chutes actually accommodate whole potatoes, and which blade designs create the smoothest hummus. Our reviews and recommendations come from genuine experience, not marketing materials.
Today, Food Processor Australia serves thousands of Aussie home cooks each month, helping them navigate the often confusing world of kitchen appliances. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry point, a busy parent seeking time-saving meal prep solutions, or a passionate home chef ready to invest in professional-grade equipment, we're here to guide you toward the perfect choice.
Our Mission
We believe every Australian deserves access to unbiased, practical advice when investing in kitchen appliances. Our mission is simple: to cut through the marketing noise and provide honest, experience-based guidance that helps you make confident purchasing decisions. We evaluate every product through the lens of real-world Australian cooking—considering everything from our local ingredient sizes to our specific kitchen layouts and power requirements.

Our Testing Process
Every food processor we recommend has undergone rigorous real-world testing. Our evaluation process includes processing a variety of ingredients (from soft herbs to hard cheeses), testing all included attachments, assessing noise levels, measuring actual bowl capacities, and evaluating long-term durability over multiple months of use. We also consider Australian-specific factors like warranty coverage, spare parts availability, and voltage compatibility.
