Rated power of the food processor. Most of this power comes from the engine — the rest of the unit consumes very little energy. Usually, the
more power, the higher the productivity of the unit, and the less time it takes to process products.
Note that the optimal power value directly depends on the volume of the bowl (see the relevant paragraph): for example, for a 1.5 kg bowl, at least 300 W is desirable, for a two-kilogram bowl — 400 W, a three-kilogram bowl — at least 700 W. And with the same bowl capacity, a more powerful unit will be more productive, it will work faster and better cope with high loads (for example, a full load). On the other hand, an increase in power affects energy consumption and price.
The maximum speed of rotation of the working attachment of the food processor. The higher the rotation speed, the more solid products can be processed in a food processor, and the less (in some cases) the time to complete the desired procedure.
A control that allows you to smoothly change the speed of rotation of the food processor engine — for more precise adjustment of speed and setting the optimal mode for different products. With stepwise speed control, a situation may arise when a higher speed value is already too high, and a lower speed is not yet enough.
Smooth control avoids such situations.
