Braun EasyPrep 8 Cup Food Processor (FP3101BK) review

Braun's EasyPrep 8 Cup is a compact, simple machine for everyday chopping and slicing. Braun lists a 550W motor with two speeds and a pulse option, an 8 cup bowl and, in the box, a power base, a knife blade, a 4mm reversible slicing and grating disc and a spatula. Braun says the bowl and blade are designed for consistent results. At $99.95 on Braun's US store, down from a suggested $129.95, it has more motor power than the Hamilton Beach machines but a smaller bowl and fewer tools: there is no dough blade, no mini bowl and only one disc thickness. That combination ranks it below the $75.99 Hamilton Beach 12-Cup on value. Braun also sells a silver FP3211SI version at $129.95. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run food processing tests.
