Professional Plus Food Processor BN601

Have the same one. It is nice but the small chute kind of makes me wish I went with the larger model that you can even fit potatoes down the chute and has adjustable slicing options.

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 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 had a Cuisinart forever and bought a Ninja recently and absolutely love it. [https://a.co/d/25lJDWH](https://a.co/d/25lJDWH)

If it helps, you need at least a 1000W one. I use the metal blade and the dough settings. I don't think the plastic dough blade works as well

I have a ninja. Not sure what model. I think a 9 cup, 1000W

I have a 9 cup and an make dough for 2-14" pies in one go. Wouldn't make above 70% hydration in it. You need at least a 1000W processor

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.

We bought the Ninja B601 1000 watt food processor a few months ago and it is a great appliance. https://www.sharkninja.com/ninja-professional-plus-food-processor/BN601.html Sturdy easy clean base, suction cup feet really grab the stone counter. Cord winds neatly around the back. Bowl assembly is the bowl, blade, and lid with the pusher. It comes together in seconds. Lid has a silicone seal to prevent anything escaping. The blade is very menacing with multiple swirled very sharp blades that will be easy to hone if they get dull. It makes fast work of everything, I make a lot of hummus and a 1lb bag of cooked chickpeas is super creamy in maybe 4 to 5 minutes. Powerful motor. I used the dough blade to make pretzel dough and it worked the unit hard but it powered through. Has preprogrammed function such as chop, puree, and dough with high low speeds that will run for a bit before stopping. It comes with a slicing disc but we also bought the additional grating and crinkle cuts discs with the storage case, keeps it all together. The discs work great but you do need to shape your food to the chute . Everything is dishwasher safe but the bowl and 99 percent of the lid are smooth surfaces and a quick sponge and dish brush make quick work of it. Overall I highly recommend.

I have owned it for about a year now, great appliance. Make sure you get the 1000 watt model. Makes excellent hummus, powerful and barely gets warm. Simple 3 piece assembly. Super sharp spiral blades make fast work, be careful you dont accidently puree things unless you want to. The dough blade and power make quick work of soft doughs. Suction cup feet stick the unit well to our stone counters. We bought the additional grating discs and storage case, very handy to store the discs.

We bought the Ninja BN601 and it is a great machine - [https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-4438351/ninja-professional-auto-iq-9-cup-1000-watt-food-processor-bn601.jsp?skuid=69290191](https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-4438351/ninja-professional-auto-iq-9-cup-1000-watt-food-processor-bn601.jsp?skuid=69290191) Keep an eye on the major retailers, when it went on sale at Kohls we paid around 100 for it. It has great power, the spiral blades are super sharp and make real quick work of things into a puree if you run it long enough. We use it to make hummus with pressure cooked chick peas, it will run for up to 10 minutes for silky smooth no lump hummus and it barely gets warm. It makes quick work shredding things and we bought the additional grating and shredding discs from Shark ninja with the carrying case that holds them all, very convenient. Plenty of power with the dough hook to mix heavy doughs and the double hook brings together doughs quickly so you are not overmixing or making it warm melting butter and fats in the process. The unit comes together quick with just the main bowl, blade and lid to click together and its ready to use. The base unit is solid, easy to clean with soft touch buttons, and the rubber suction feet hold the unit well to our stone counters. Be mindful the BN601 is the 1000 watt model, Ninja sells a BN600 which is cheaper as it has a smaller 800 watt motor. Get the BN601 for the full 1000 watt motor.

I do have a food processor. I like the being able to grate cheese and vegetables with it. My food processor doesn't have a feature to grate, just chop.

Oh yeah, then you probably don't! I have the older Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System which is great for smoothies and chopping but didn't come with a disc like the newer model.
