KitchenAid's 3.1L processor is the pick for slicing precision and worktop presence. Its signature feature is the external ExactSlice lever, which lets you dial the slicing disc across six preset thicknesses while the machine runs, so you don't stop and swap discs for different cuts. Two speeds plus Pulse (with High spinning up to around 2,000rpm), stainless steel discs and a multipurpose blade cover most prep, and it comes in KitchenAid's range of premium colours. The trade-offs explain its rank: the 400W headline figure is modest next to the Kenwood and Ninja, there's no blender jug in the box, and at around £219 it asks a premium for build and design. Which? has published an independent expert review of this model for buyers who want a third-party verdict. Price is indicative at around £219 and varies by finish.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • External ExactSlice lever adjusts across six slice thicknesses without stopping
  • Durable build and premium finishes, with a roomy 3.1L work bowl
  • Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty

Cons
