Ninja - Professional Plus Food Processor BN601

I have a Ninja 9 cup food processor that I really like. I've had a few different ones, including kitchen aid and the ninja is my favorite.

I have the 850 watt version of this for the last couple years. I love it https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-BN601-Professional-Processor-1000-Peak-Watts/dp/B089TP3K77/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=1PSIHCFU2QMCN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aQX3c9vx6N0wwrMEJNmpC-JoCsKFkGps5h47u9rZrOslmLtdl87JXu2UBnmL8hdNd8anxCwvLuPKcgYRWkcU0BMFNnICcpFuP3lOEjo6Q7HrBQ2DVWk-aEi7ikJF1jDAIOKiH-9AjfyAqrJP1OoVLgH_gI2xwD1g1AFz9Q0Kqz9PfuTV96NYpR6CzTMlyvex_6yzg56rfD0xZ08JkOdHkw.p7f39ASbuZWDgsehQyT3ikCl3XHc0BaLHna3J4TipRo&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ninja+BN600&qid=1733860040&sprefix=ninja+bn600%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-2

I actually have the same food processor and I like it as well, but I was hesistant to recommend it (Ninja products don't seem to be all that popular in this subreddit).

We bought the Ninja Professional Plus 1000 watt processor just a few months ago and have been happy with it. [https://www.sharkninja.com/ninja-professional-plus-food-processor/BN601.html](https://www.sharkninja.com/ninja-professional-plus-food-processor/BN601.html) It stated as 9 cups but that is generous and would probably make a mess, it is certainly capable of 8 cups. It is plastic but sturdy, assembles quickly and the lid has a tight fitting seal. Suction cup feet grip our stone counters well. The multiple blades make real quick work of purees with multiple blades. We make a lot of hummus and its a breeze with this unit. It comes with a shredding disc, we purchased the couple other blades and a storage case from Ninja and they all work well.

I'm a big fan of Ninja appliances. It started with the Foodie 10 in 1 airfry oven, which led to the Ninja coffee bar, and just recently the Ninja professional plus 1000 watt food processor. Everything they make just offers quality at affordable prices.

I have been making a full 16oz bag of dried chickpeas into hummus once a week and the blender just couldnt cut it. The professional plus processor handles hummus great. A 16oz bag of dried chickpeas makes about 7 cups of hummus. The motor is powerful enough to make the hummus as thick as you want. The unit has soft touch buttons that will run the processor through timed cycles, it takes maybe 10 cycles of "High" to get the hummus to the smoothness I desire, and the motor base is hardly warm when done. The unit comes apart easily and makes quick work of cleaning. The only thing I found odd about the processor was constant warnings in the instructions to not process ice cubes without liquid, no idea why, maybe they want you to buy the blender for that. When we bought the processor the additional grating discs and storage box was on sale for 40 percent off, so we bought them.

[https://www.ninjakitchen.com/products/disc-storage-case-zid693KKU602](https://www.ninjakitchen.com/products/disc-storage-case-zid693KKU602) As soon as the weather gets cooler I will start using the processor for doughs and see how that goes.

I use it at least once a week, and the unit is very well designed that it assembles quickly and with little effort. The base has suction cup feet that grip my stone counters very well and prevents the unit from skittering around. Just make sure you get a model with 1000 watts of power or higher.

I love my Ninja FP for so many reasons, but Ive never seen one that comes with a shredder plate, if that's what you want. When I want to shred, I use my Kitchenaid attachment.

They are very powerful and also very loud 

I have the Ninja food processor (with the shredder, slicer) not the blender and the single cup blender ... they are SO LOUD. Sometimes sounds like a train. But damn if they don't get the job done.. 

The Ninja Pro does a pretty ok job of chopping, nice sharp blades, but the feed tube is TINY! I’ve had trouble fitting large cucumbers or similar
