The days when vegetables had to be cut by hand are long gone. Leading brands have presented a universal assistant that greatly simplifies and speeds up the work in the kitchen - a food processor. Depending on the power and variety of attachments, harvesters are able to cut any vegetables into slices of various shapes, chop greens and even twist the meat into minced meat. The price of the combine directly depends on the functionality. In this rating, we will consider the TOP models from Philips, which can be purchased at the beginning of the year.
Philips HR2505 / 90
At the beginning of the rating is one of the most budgetary and popular models of combines, which, due to its cost, cannot become a full-fledged substitute for manual labor in the kitchen, but is able to significantly facilitate it. Specifications are as follows:
- motor power: 500 W;
- harvester body: metal;
- bowl: plastic, 1 l;
- number of attachments: 1 fine shredder grater, 1 coarse grater.
A compact food processor with dimensions of 17.5 * 17.5 * 33.5 cm weighs only 1.6 kg; it fits perfectly on a regular kitchen table without interfering with other small household appliances. A small number of attachments allows you to cut into cubes soft and hard vegetables and fruits, and the proprietary blade manufacturing technology does not allow them to stick together. The harvester is not equipped with a juicer, a mill and a meat grinder, but a grater for a fine shredder may well grind meat. All attachments and bowl are dishwasher safe.
According to customer reviews, the combine cuts vegetables and poultry perfectly, but it does poorly with the meat of mammals - cutlets are obtained with unpleasant veins.

The third model is already different from the previous two in almost all respects. It is already difficult to call this processor a little helper in the kitchen - this is a full-fledged universal machine that will help speed up the preparation of almost any dish. The main parameters are as follows:
- motor power: 650 W
- combine case: ABS plastic;
- bowl: plastic, 1 l; blender container: plastic, 1 l;
- number of attachments: universal knife, dough attachment, emulsion attachment, shredder attachment, grater; only 7 nozzles;

Due to the increase in the number of nozzles, the total size of the model has grown significantly and amounted to 24.4 * 24.4 * 37.7 cm. Due to the use of plastic in the body of the combine and the bowls, the weight of the combine does not exceed 2.5 kg. The 1 m power cord is conveniently hidden in the case, taking up a minimum of space. In addition to the presence of a large number of attachments, this model boasts a blender, in which it is convenient to work with emulsions and liquids. To avoid injury due to improper assembly of the combine, it is equipped with an engine blocking system. A more powerful engine compared to previous models allows you to work with hard vegetables and fruits, shredding them much faster.
Some users cite the presence of a large amount of plastic as a negative trait. Although this made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of the finished product, the manufacturer claims that modern plastic is strong enough for this type of household appliance.
Philips HR7761
This device is already on the edge of the budget segment, but it combines well a low cost and a large number of additional functions. Technical specifications:
- motor power: 750 W;

All blades are made of durable steel, very high quality sharpened and designed for long-term use. The reinforced motor copes with the most durable products.
Previous models did not have an element that appeared here - a small mill. It allows you to grind wheat or coffee grains into powder, standard knives even for the smallest cuts can not cope with this task.
The increase in the power of the motor noticeably affected the noise of the unit itself. Some buyers note that at maximum rpm, the outgoing noise makes the work uncomfortable.

One of the flagships of the company differs significantly from its younger brothers in the number of functions that are “on board”. This model can almost completely replace manual labor in the kitchen, a set of additional attachments and elements allow you to work with raw materials for almost all dishes - from meat products to baked goods. The characteristics of this "monster":
- motor power: 1000 W;
