processor, according to Eleanor Moss, consumer marketing manager at De’Longhi Australia:

✚ Aim for at least 1000W of power so the machine can whizz through dense ingredients.

✚ Choose a model with the right attachments for your needs. You’ll find a vast range on offer, from ones that cut fries to juicers.

✚ Opt for rubber feet to ensure your processor doesn’t go walkabout on your bench while chopping. ✚ Ensure the bowl and goblet are BPA-free. If you’ll be blending hot soups or frozen smoothies, seek materials that can withstand both hot and cold temperatures.

✚ Look for a machine with a dedicated storage case to keep all your blades and attachments in one place.
