Power
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.
Timer
The timer allows you to set the time during which the device will perform a particular function; after a specified period of time is over, the device will automatically turn off.
The food processor with a timer removes the need to monitor the operating time of the appliance and turn it off manually.
Display
Availability of the display on the control panel makes operation of the device more simple and visual. Usually, the screen displays basic information about the operating modes used, and the display is also used for setting parameters.
Section for cord
A special section in the body of the device for storing the power cord. Often such sections are also come with devices for uniform winding of the wire, which prevents bending and possible fractures.
The cord section is especially useful if the food processor is used relatively rarely and stands idle for a long time outside the kitchen.
