Why I Can't Recommend the Ninja 9 Cup Food Processor

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

KITCHEN PRODUCTS USED IN THIS VIDEO: Ninja 9 Cup Food Processor: amzn.to/3OVtq1x THESE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS: Cuisinart Prep 9 Cup Food Processor: amzn.to/42L2S8Q Breville Sous Chef Food Processor: amzn.to/49jtrVa Cuisinart Custom 14 Food Processor: amzn.to/48vchCF

One thing you can say for the 'chop' function is, the rotation reverses direction every time it starts/stops, producing more evenly-chopped pieces (in THEORY, anyway...) I would say Ninja tends to engineer/manufacture a "higher-quality" product than average, but this model, anyway, is a big disappointment for all the reasons you cite. Thanks for testing this food processor, AND thanks for comparing the feed tube of this Ninja with that of the Cuisinart Prep Line... That image is worth a thousand words-!!

[@shanajames-suckrajh]

You're more thorough than America's Test kitchen!😂 I value you opinions and really look forward to your videos.

[@lorieann8522]

Always appreciate your thorough reviews Amy and Eric!! Do you happen to have the KA food processor attachment? Curious what your thoughts are on that. Does it have a narrow feed tube as well?

[@Isaiahkk41]

Hi, Amy, I would really recommend Hamilton Beach: Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap Food Processor with Bowl Scraper, 10 Cup Capacity, Black, New, 70822F. The Food chute is huge, give it a try. It can accommodate whole foods I use it all the time and love it.

[@epluribusunum1978]

I have the red version of the one you tested, but mine came with 2 additional round slicing/shredding blades. Mine works great but I only use it for specific things and it does the job, and I understand your reasons for not recommending it. Always enjoy your videos, Amy.

[@-brooke.]

THANK YOU! Straight up honesty and unfiltered opinion... Where have you been all my YT life🙏🏽

[@boxgirl51]

I have the four cup ninja, love it. Probably used it for more than five years. Make great smoothies.

[@ellismedavoy7314]

My Ninja 701 12(?) cup has an adjustable slicing blade. I'm surprised that the 9 cup didn't have that feature.

[@lorieann8522]

Also Amy do you have a video about your Chisinart?

[@anderander5662]

I noticed the Rubber seal on the lid was squishing up sometimes when you twisted it on

[@LilybethII]

I returned my brand new food processor because of that horrible plastic/ burned motor smell. It was a different brand (quite expensive) and the smell was getting worse and worse with every use. The quality of appliances is getting really bad.

[@joanwalford1959]

Should have watched this before i purchased my ninja wide cup. Haven't opened the box as yet though. Thoroughly agree with you about getting a wide mouth cup as that has now become important to me since watching your demo.

[@michelebishop5799]

Great video. Thanks for reminding me of all the things I need to consider. I still have my Braun food processor from the early 80's.

[@DianeC.]

Hi Amy & Eric!!! Guess I should have kept my 13 cup Kitchen Aid Processor. I gave it to me Son. I bought a 9 cup one for me... I should have bought the Cuisinart Haven't used it yet...I got a Ninja Blender for Christmas I haven't opened it yet...hope it's better than this Processor. Thanks for the review. Nice Video!!!...🦋

[@2josborne]

hi Amy, have you tried the Breville Paradice 9 yet?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

I wish! LOL! I don't have one yet. Maybe someday!

[@debbieclinedinst4939]

Thank you for the review. I wouldn't get the ninja. I love my Breville.

[@jackieilomanoski9296]

It did a good job on the cheese. I’ve still got my bulky red KitchenAid food processor.

[@ballisonfargo]

I wish my Cuisinart Classic 14 had a gasket like that. One of the things I use it for is making pie dough and the flour always flies out between the bowl and the lid.

[@gailedwards4661]

I own this and LOVE IT MUCH

[@whomeverwherever]

Can you test the 9 cup Breville Paradice? It’s currently $100 off everywhere it’s sold.

[@torismith997]

New subbie here. Can't wait til I get thru all your FP videos. I am in the market for one. I'm shocked that this is all the better the Ninja is. Also would you share with me where you got that cute stand for your cast iron. I'm starting a collection of that too. Thanks

[@mamalouparker7880]

I bought this & love it!

[@davidbgreensmith]

Oh dear. This was painful to watch. Surely, the point of these gadgets is to make a cook's life easier? This was horrible watching Amy struggle to perform basic tasks. I can see that on the lower end machines, a smaller feed chute makes sense for keeping costs down whilst maintaining safety. The Breville/Sage and Magimix both have an additional switch for the pusher to prevent hands being inserted into the wide feed chute. That additional complexity has additional cost. So, the smaller feed chute makes sense. That said, if you can't even slice a tomato, what's the point? Also, given the amount of faff with having to presize other veggies for slicing, I think you'd be better off with a mandolin. This isn't saving much time. Whilst we're on the subject of slicing, I'm not sure it even does that well. Those slices looked pretty uneven to me. There wasn't a consistent thickness, and some of the slices looked wedge shaped. Really, the only thing the machine seemed to do well was grate the cheese. OK, it's a budget machine, but considering its capability to do the job, it turns out to be a pretty expensive cheese grater.

[@treasurethetime2463]

Does anybody wonder how some of these products make it to the shelves? Truly and genuinely, when they are doing testing or whatever, and they see it just doesn't perform, they just say, "welp, put it out anyway."?

[@davidbgreensmith]

@@treasurethetime2463 I often ask myself the same question. The Ninja brand seems to have a fairly good reputation, so this kind of misfire is baffling. For me, this machine would be unusable.

[@barbarajohnson83]

Hi Amy, My first food processor was the 9 cup KitchenAidv and it had the same problem, feed tube was too small. Gave that to a friend. I use my Vitamix for chopping, and if I need items cut a certain way, I cut it myself. I bought the attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer and it shreds great, I haven’t used the slicing part. I had the Ninja Storm and it was a great machine for chopping and crushing ice and drinks. Those blades are dangerous , so I have been trying to consolidate these gadgets, that’s why I got the Vitamix, but basically I chop some items myself

[@treasurethetime2463]

I can't even count how many times I've cut my hand on food processor blades. 😂 They are so sharp, there is that moment of disbelief when you know you touched it but aren't sure if you cut yourself. Then the blood. 😂.

[@outcast6187]

Great video, yeah at 24:45 where u show the problem with a lot of smaller food processors, my conspiracy theory is a lot of food processor brands deliberately put a smaller feed chute to force the upsell of their bigger more expensive processor models. When mentioning the KitchenAid, maybe u should have said "9 Cup" as well so people who didn't watch the whole video know which model u are referring to.

[@stefanzantes8818]

Hello, I love your Videos and this is one enlightening Video more 👍. I loooove my Shark/Ninja products, the Ninja foodi max pro and my Shark Vacuum ckeaner. But for Food Processor, I chose the 3.1 Liter KitchenAid. Because I love the "plunge and use "concept, no more twisting around the Bowl, the lid, etc. 😂. And the slicing disc which is adjustable from the outside is Genius! In connection with the cube dicer it makes slicing and dicing so much more convenient. And that all accessories are placed in the machine is great too. The chute is wider than the smaller modell. Interestingly, the Ninja Double Blade concept is not doing the work much better than the single blades of other Machines🤔

[@CShannon1991]

Does Cuisinart still make that 7 Cup Prep Food Processor?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

They only make the 9 cup. I really hope they don't discontinue it. I love it...it even takes the Cuisinart DLC blades. amzn.to/3SHhhym

[@CShannon1991]

@@AmyLearnsToCook I hope not either! I’m looking to buying that one over the newer models!

[@anderander5662]

I have bought at least six Cuisinart food processors at Goodwill over the last year and given them away to relatives and Friends... the least I paid was $3.99 the most I paid was $19.99

[@marksilver9291]

Nice food processor. Is it a water tight bowl like the Breville???

[@yehonatan2020]

I'm so glad that I went with a Magimix food processor! Listening to the noise of the motor on this video versus the magimix - they are worlds apart

[@lindapyle6221]

I have that Ninja. I tried chopping cabbage and it turned it to mush on the auto. I wish I would have never bought one.

[@jilluher7655]

Thanks for letting us know there are small food processors with wide chutes.

[@crops4fun]

I have a Hamilton Beach. It has a large food tube, that's why I bought it. It's great!

[@jacquelineabdo1963]

What a great video! And thank you

[@vegasgal47]

Potatoes might come out better when they aren’t dripping wet. I like the mouth on the Hamilton beach snap one

[@mzcrich85]

I wish i saw this before i bought it 😭. I hate it, im returning it. It pulverizes everything.

[@daveinca2]

The noise alone would make me skip this food processor. After seeing it in action, it's definitely a pass. I bought the Breville based on your recommendation, and have never regretted it. Spend the extra money and get an appliance that will last and last. Leave this junk in the stores.

[@bsteele1493]

I like mine. But then, what’s not to like when you buy it brand new in the box for $15 at a resale shop.

[@brettster3331]

Hi Amy and Eric, I have to say I hate the Ninja stacked blade design in both their blender and this food processor, that design is so dangerous for cutting you in use if you want to check the food in the bowl or in cleaning the blade assembly. I also have a problem with the height of this style as well not to mention the small feed tube. I was so sure it was going to fail at the cheese shredding test, if you had shredded more cheese it might have. Best to you both from Oregon.

[@helpfulnatural]

The Cuisinart feedtube will eat the Ninja feedtube for lunch! Lol! Love it! 😂

[@BenitoCain]

Eric, your lunch is reeeaaaddyy!

[@cnnw3929]

Unfortunately, Cuisinart changed the design of their 7 cup food processor. It now has the narrow tube, just like the Ninja does. Best bet is to spend a little more and buy a Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 instead.

[@Maispramais]

Não há como comparar um produto de 90 dólares e um de 500 dólares, 9 cup X 16 cup, o motor do breville não aguenta trabalhar com coisas pesadas, ele se desliga e fica por horas parado para esfriar. Não conheço o cusinart 13 cup, mas a potência é 550W, o motor também sofre para bater massa e coisas mais pesadas, eu comprei um breville e devolvi no mesmo dia, pois não foi capaz de processar 200 gramas de ricota, o motor travou e parou, uma decepção horrível. O ninja é ótimo, só faltou empatia para usá-lo, ele faz muita coisa com um motor muito forte.

[@brendadodd1075]

I like the Ninja Food processor that came with my Blender set. Better than this one.The presets you just have to use 2 or 3 times its perfect hen...for me

[@mom2love621]

Thanks for the demo of machine you made great potatoes for chips au gratin scalloped try the shredder for hash browns like all the foods you tried❤❤❤

[@kathyfann]

It really cost more than it’s worth I think if it were below 50 dollars it would be a better value

[@Rob-q2e]

Ninja products are not my favorite brand at all!

[@nancydeutschman3454]

They were a different type of tomatoe!

[@stevegordon5243]

This food processor is super noisy and mediocre in its abilities compared to my Cuisinart 14 cup. I know there is a fair price difference but the Cuisinart is worth the larger price in my opinion

[@nanostar7660]

Says that it stinks up and smells like burning
