Power is the name of the game with a food processor; an underpowered processor won’t get you the results you want when it comes to tough tasks like kneading dough or chopping meat. The Ninja Professional XL Food Processor doesn’t have any issues in this department, as its 1,200-peak-watt motor handles chopping up difficult ingredients and mixing dough without a hitch. The Ninja doesn’t cut back on size, either — the 12-cup processing bowl can handle meals for large families and gatherings.

To give a real-world example of how this combo of power and capacity is a major advantage, you can create three pounds of pizza dough in just 30 seconds with this machine. We’re also impressed with the Ninja’s extra-large feed chute and three-part pusher, which makes it easy to add ingredients to the processor while in use.

As you’d expect from a company called Ninja, the food processor comes with several different blades that do a swift job of slicing and dicing, whether you need thick slices of carrot or paper-thin slices of cucumbers. Likewise, you can shred items like cheese and salad greens at different levels of coarseness, and use the puree mode to create everything from peanut butter to hummus. Using the processor couldn’t be easier: Just choose the chopping, pureeing, mixing or dough mode, and use the low, high and pulse options to control the process.

Finally, the Professional XL is a snap to clean and store, as its bowl, lid, discs and blade systems are all machine-washable, and all the discs and blades can fit in the included compact storage box.

Over 10,000 Amazon reviews and ratings of the Ninja Professional XL Food Processor sing similar praises about its power, ease of use and value. Amazon users rave about the Ninja’s solid build and how it’s a game changer for their kitchen.

For a powerful multi-use food processor that’s versatile enough to take on important tasks with ease, you can’t go wrong with the Ninja XL Professional Food Processor, and at its current discount, now is the perfect time to purchase one!
