A food processor is the appliance that turns a bag of cabbage into slaw in ten seconds and a pound of chickpeas into hummus in thirty. Black Friday is when Cuisinart, KitchenAid and Breville all discount at once, and several of these listings already show a cut.
Eleven machines sold on Amazon US, from a 5-cup cordless chopper to a 16-cup Breville, with picks from America’s Test Kitchen (August 2026) and Food Network (February 2026).

Black Friday 2026 Dates and How to Spot a Real Food Processor Deal
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, so Black Friday is November 27 and Cyber Monday is November 30, 2026. Amazon’s sale has started about a week early in recent years; Cuisinart and KitchenAid processors are usually among the first kitchen discounts to land.
- Check the model number. Cuisinart sells the Custom 14 and the Pro Custom 11 under near-identical names; the DFP-14 is the 14-cup, the DLC-8 the 11-cup.
- Count the discs. Most machines include one slicing and one shredding disc. The Breville adds an adjustable slicer and a fry disc; the KitchenAid 13-cup adds an adjustable slicer.
- Look at the price history. A real deal beats the recent typical price, not just the list price. The Ninja, KitchenAid and Cuisinart listings already show cuts.
- Watts tell part of the story. A 500-watt KitchenAid slices beautifully but shouldn’t knead two pounds of dough every week; the 720-watt Cuisinart can.
- Measure under the cabinet. The Cuisinart 14 and Breville 16 are tall; the KitchenAid 7-cup and the chopper fit anywhere.
Which Size Food Processor Should You Buy?
One or two people
The KitchenAid 7-cup or the cordless chopper. Both fit under a cabinet, and 7 cups handles a batch of hummus or a head of cabbage.
A family of four
The Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 or the Ninja Professional Plus. Eleven and nine cups cover weeknight prep and a pie crust.
Big batches and dough
The Cuisinart Custom 14 for most, the Breville Sous Chef 16 or Magimix if you process every week and want it to last decades.
Only chopping onions and herbs? A dedicated chopper is cheaper and smaller; our food chopper guide covers nine of them.
What a Food Processor Replaces (and What It Doesn’t)
- Replaces: the box grater, the mandoline for most jobs, the pastry cutter, and the twenty minutes of knife work before a stir-fry.
- Does well: pie and pizza dough, hummus and pesto, shredded cheese and slaw, nut butters, breadcrumbs, grated carrots for cake.
- Doesn’t replace a blender: smoothies and silky soups want a blender’s tall jar. The Nutribullet Triple Prep is the one machine here that does both.
- Doesn’t replace a stand mixer: it kneads bread fast, but it won’t whip egg whites or cream butter and sugar. KitchenAid owners can add the food processor attachment instead.
- Clean-up: every machine here has dishwasher-safe bowls and blades; the KitchenAids clean with warm water and a drop of soap on a pulse.
How to Choose a Food Processor on Sale
Six things to settle before the deals drop.
Cups per person
7 cups for one or two, 9–11 for a family, 14–16 for batch cooking and holidays.
Watts for dough
700+ watts kneads weekly without strain. 300–500 is fine for slicing and chopping.
What’s in the box
Slice and shred come standard. Adjustable slicing (KitchenAid 13, Breville) and dicing (the KitchenAid attachment) cost more.
Whole or pre-cut
A wide chute (Breville’s 5.5 in, Cuisinart’s extra-large) takes whole potatoes; narrow tubes need halving.
Blades in the bowl
KitchenAid stores discs inside the bowl; Breville ships a case. Loose discs in a drawer get lost.
Motor years
Cuisinart 5, Breville and Magimix 30 on the motor. A long motor warranty is why the upgrades cost more.
Food Processor Deal FAQs
When is Black Friday 2026?▼
Friday, November 27, 2026. Cyber Monday is November 30, and Amazon’s sale has started about a week early in recent years.
Do food processors go on sale for Black Friday?▼
Yes, reliably. Cuisinart, KitchenAid and Ninja discount most years, and several listings here already show 17 to 31% off.
What is the best food processor to buy?▼
The Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup, America’s Test Kitchen’s 2026 winner. The Pro Custom 11 is the best buy and the Breville Sous Chef 16 the upgrade.
Cuisinart 14-cup or 11-cup?▼
14 for dough and batch cooking, 11 for most families. The 14 has a 720-watt motor and an extra-large feed tube; the 11 is a little smaller, cheaper and uses the same discs.
Is the Breville Sous Chef worth it?▼
If you process weekly, yes. The adjustable slicer, 5.5-inch chute, induction motor and 30-year motor warranty are what the extra money buys.
What is the best budget food processor?▼
The Ninja Professional Plus for power and presets, the KitchenAid 7-cup for a small kitchen, the Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap for two bowls on a budget.
Can a food processor knead bread dough?▼
Yes, with enough power. The Cuisinart 14, Breville, Magimix and Ninja knead two pounds; the 300-watt KitchenAid 7-cup is better for chopping and slicing.
Food processor or blender?▼
A processor for solids, a blender for liquids. Slaw, dough, hummus and shredded cheese: processor. Smoothies and soup: blender. The Nutribullet Triple Prep does both from one base.
Do I need a food processor if I have a KitchenAid mixer?▼
Not necessarily. The KitchenAid food processor attachment slices, shreds and dices using the mixer’s motor, with no second appliance to store.
Which food processor makes the best gift?▼
The Cuisinart Custom 14 for a cook who bakes, the KitchenAid 7-cup for a first apartment, the cordless chopper as a stocking-size surprise.
The Bottom Line
- Most kitchens: Cuisinart Custom 14. A bit smaller: Cuisinart Pro Custom 11.
- Value: Ninja Professional Plus. Budget: Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap.
- Small kitchen: KitchenAid 7-cup or the cordless chopper.
- Upgrades: Breville Sous Chef 16 or Magimix 4200 XL; KitchenAid 13-cup for adjustable slicing under $200.
