Main bowl material

The bowls of modern food processors can be made of plastic, glass, or metal.

The plastic bowls are the most common due to their low cost and durability. They are lightweight, resistant to falls and can withstand quite large loads, they can be both transparent and opaque. The disadvantage of plastic is an increased tendency to scratches.

The glass bowls are scratch-resistant, and they allow you to monitor the products processing through transparency. However, the glass is a fragile material, and such bowls are very sensitive to falls, shaking, and bumps.

Metal (usually stainless steel) is the strongest and most durable material. However, it is opaque, in addition, the metal bowl usually significantly affects the cost of the device.

Body material

The main material used for the body of the unit.

Plastic. The main advantage of plastic is the relatively low cost. In addition, this material can have almost any colour, including quite bright ones. In terms of strength and reliability, the plastic is inferior to metal, but this difference does not play a special role in normal use, it becomes noticeable only in various emergency situations (during falls, overheating, etc.). Also, plastic bodies are relatively easy to scratch, but this point mainly affects the appearance of the unit and does not affect the functionality. In light of all this, only plastic is the most popular material for the bodies of modern food processors.

Metal. Metal bodies are distinguished by their solid appearance and high strength. On the other hand, this material is noticeably more expensive than plastic, and therefore is less common — mainly in middle and high class food processors.
