Dicing: Bosch food processors with different attachments

A food processor, complete with a dicing disc, is a very useful and rare type of multifunctional kitchen appliance. Unlike all other devices of this type, representatives of this category are capable of not just somehow chopping vegetables, fruits and other ingredients, chopping them into unequal, uneven pieces, but doing it beautifully. After all, Olivier salad, vegetable stew, potato soup and many other dishes look much more festive and elegant if they are cut into neat, even squares. A good food processor with dicing will help you accomplish this task without spending the whole day chopping numerous foods.

At the same time, many of the best devices for culinary creativity are not limited to the simplest shredding and creating classic squares from any components. It's not uncommon for food processors to come with 5-10 attachments, including a French fry disc and a slicer attachment. The best representatives of the premium class can often also be equipped with a blender, a meat grinder and all sorts of elements for mixing and even kneading ingredients, which allows you to use the food processor to create a wide variety of culinary masterpieces for any occasion. Moreover, each model is unique and differs from analogues not only in functionality, but also in power, dimensions, safety margin and a number of other parameters. Therefore, despite the very limited number of devices of this type, the category is very diverse and can offer both fairly budget options and premium combines, complemented by the best features.

The Oursson brand is not very well known, although blenders under this brand are distinguished by their quality and great functionality. The HB6070 immersion blender will delight housewives with the durability of its parts, silent operation and bright, life-affirming design. The device is indispensable during winter preparations or when preparing a festive table, because the kit, in addition to the standard “leg”, includes a chopper, an attachment for cutting into cubes and a whisk.

Centek CT-1310

pros

• power 1200 W
• functionality
• stylish design
• large set of attachments
• even cubes

• plastic knife holder
• heavy

The CENTEK CT-1310 blender from a domestic manufacturer has a power of 1.2 kW and allows you to whip up products with high quality. The device is equipped with a small mill for processing coffee or nuts. The sharp knives of the chopper do an excellent job of preparing minced meat; in addition, the blender cuts into cubes.

Vitesse VS-539

pros

• low cost
• compactness
• high quality plastic body
• the engine does not overheat
• great functionality

Minuses

• mill is missing
• plastic glass

VITESSE VS-539 is a modern device with a motor power of 800 W, which is enough for efficient operation of a compact and lightweight device. A comfortable handle, smooth gear shifting, and silent operation are the advantages of this model. The blender has all the functions inherent in such devices: chopper, whisk, grater, slicing disc, dicing attachment. It’s a pity that there is no separate mill and the body color is only black.

How to choose a food processor with dicing

Having determined the devices that have the necessary attachment, you need to study the features of the element.
To do this, we recommend looking at the data sheet of the food processor - manufacturers often indicate the size of the cubes; the standard is 8 x 8 mm. If such cutting seems too small, you should pay attention to devices that produce cubes of 9.5 x 9.5 mm. When purchasing a food processor, also check out the following features:

• Power. The process of cutting cubes does not require the processor to work at the limit - a power of less than 300 W is sufficient for this operation. But to use a 100% multifunctional food processor, which also has a blender, mixer, meat grinder and other important functions, the recommended power is about 1200 W. Regardless of the value, devices require regular breaks from operation.
• Bowl volume. The larger the bowl, the faster the processing of the product as a whole - there is no need to pause for reloading. For cutting vegetables and fruits into small cubes, the optimal figure is 2 liters, while for other operations a bowl of at least 3.5 liters is desirable.
• Storage. We recommend looking for a model that has compartments for storing the power cord and attachments. The fact is that the presence of an attachment for cutting into cubes is a distinctive feature of combines with a large set of accessories (mill, hook, universal cutter). The best option is to store them in a case.
• Options. The number of speeds is not very important for cutting food into cubes, since processor manufacturers recommend performing the operation at minimum speed. For devices with a large range of functions, more than 5 speeds are desirable. It would not be superfluous to use a pulse mode, which briefly brings the device to maximum operation. Additional benefits include lid locking and soft start.

A low-quality combine made from cheap materials gives off a characteristic plastic smell; you need to check for its absence before purchasing in a store or read reviews when ordering online.

In our list of the best food processors with cubes, we have added both budget and premium solutions.

Rating of TOP 8 Bosch food processors

Modern kitchen processors have many functions and are ready to replace some appliances in the house. Therefore, when compiling the rating, I took into account the quality of the devices, reliability, durability, necessary options and customer reviews. The following Bosch models will participate in the review:

MUM44R1

An excellent option for use in the home kitchen by lovers of desserts, pastries and creamy soups. A Bosch combine with low power, since its tasks do not include chopping meat and crushing ice. The body is made of high-quality plastic, and the bowl is made of stainless steel, designed for 2 kg of dough. The rotation is planetary, that is, the corolla moves in three directions, collecting contents along the walls and from the bottom. But the container itself remains in place. This allows you to achieve maximum mixing. There is a lid to prevent the contents from scattering in small drops throughout the kitchen. Convenient 4-step side speed adjustment. This allows you to smoothly change the desired intensity. The legs have suction cups on the bottom, so the food processor will not move. But due to its low power, it cannot cope with dense dough. It is possible to purchase additional attachments if necessary.

• compactness;
• quiet;
• you can purchase additional attachments (blender and meat grinder);
• whips creams perfectly.

• has difficulty handling dense dough.

I often prepare cakes and various desserts, so I was looking for just such a food processor without unnecessary options. I really liked him at work. Doesn't make noise and takes up little space. Shakes and mixes perfectly. All thanks to planetary rotation. True, sometimes there is not enough power, because you want to cook faster. But overall I'm very pleased with the purchase.

A similar model MUMP1000 has the same functionality, but differs in power of 600 W and a plastic bowl. The cost of such a combine ranges from 5100 to 8307 rubles.

The One MUM4657

The food processor is conceived as a multifunctional one, which has all the options, including a meat grinder. This option attracts the attention of buyers. But the power is weak (550 W) and this is not enough to properly spin frozen foods and veins. It is more suitable for chicken and turkey. Otherwise, the Bosch combine blends, slices and grates perfectly. It copes quite well with tough dough. The unit itself is small, and the attachments are stored in a special box from which they can be quickly removed. Mechanical control with speed switching.

• convenient storage and small dimensions of the device itself;
• qualitatively executed;
• Can be washed in the dishwasher.

• low power for a meat grinder.

I bought it for my wife for her birthday. Almost immediately we tried it to prepare a dressing for soup. He did it very quickly and efficiently. There are some complaints about the meat grinder. Only half-thawed meat should be seasoned. In this case, it works best, although it misses the veins.

If you decide to upgrade your MUM series food processor, then it is better to order attachments on the official Bosch website . There are both graters and meat grinders, juicers and noodle attachments.

MultiTalent 3 MCM 3200

A fairly powerful device that can become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen in the preparation of everyday dishes, salads and preparations. There are no unnecessary components in its arsenal: a universal knife, attachments for dough and whipping, a grater (large and small), slicing and a 1-liter blender bowl. The main capacity is 2.3 liters. There is a disc without holes for preparing sauces, delicate creams and mayonnaise. This Bosch model is useful for everyday use or as needed. Storage is compact. Cheaper due to the presence of only two speeds and plastic containers.

• small dimensions due to convenient storage;
• affordable price;
• all the basic graters and nothing extra;
• sufficient power.

• The main grater grates either coarsely or very finely.

I use it about 1-2 times a week. But I noticed that the plastic is not of very high quality and, apparently, will not last long. That is, if you use a food processor every day, it will quickly crack or burst. And I even use it to make minced meat and chop vegetables.

MC812W620

Bosch food processor with two bowls: main and blender. All of them are closed with lids, which prevents contamination of the workplace. The main one has a compartment for supplying food. It has the main functions: slicing, shredding and whipping. The kit includes a centrifugal juicer for citrus fruits. Therefore, the unit is suitable for those who are on a proper diet. With it you can quickly prepare cocktails, smoothies, sauces and juice. There is a stainless steel knife for fine cutting of meat, poultry and vegetables. The power is quite decent, so there should be no problems with solid ingredients. The dough kneading attachment is made of hard plastic. There is a smooth speed regulator on the body, which is very convenient, as you can easily select the desired intensity.

• suitable for large families;
• many different attachments, including a juicer;
• high power;
• smooth adjustment.

• not found.

I just needed such a food processor for my kitchen, as it replaces many household appliances. After the purchase, I immediately began conducting experiments. I added frozen berries to the smoothie and it quickly completed its task. There are no problems with the grater either. I dealt with four large carrots in a minute.

MC812S814

A fairly powerful food processor with the main functionality: blending, slicing, fine and coarse grater, beating and preparing dough. As you can see, all the main options are provided here. Unlike the Bosch MC812W620 combine, there is no juicer. Otherwise they are very similar. You cannot buy additional attachments for these units. Therefore, you need to immediately choose the appropriate package. Speed ​​adjustment is smooth using a mechanical knob. In my opinion, the price is a little overpriced, considering that such a high power is not needed for a food processor, and 700-1000 W is quite enough. And for a lower price you can buy a completely decent unit from the Bosch lines that have similar options.

• main functions;
• high power;
• quickly cuts, chops and beats.

• unable to knead stiff dough.

An irreplaceable thing in the household, especially when preparing food for the winter. This food processor saves me a lot of time in the kitchen. I chopped or grated the vegetables and seasoned the soup. Preparing creams for cakes or kneading biscuit dough is generally a pleasure.

The power indicator does not always affect options such as a meat grinder and kneading tight dough. To perform this kind of work, that is, where force is needed, the food processor must have a special drive capable of operating in two modes: high-speed (main functions of cutting and whipping) and low-speed (meat grinder and tight dough).

MUM4426

A device with a power of 500 W can knead dough of different consistencies, beat, chop and cut products. Thus, the food processor performs all the main functions in the kitchen and copes with them perfectly. You can purchase additional attachments, but it is worth considering that the power does not allow you to chop meat. It is small in size and has compact storage, which means it is suitable for small kitchens. On the side there is a knob for adjusting the intensity in 4 positions. This ensures a smooth transition between modes. Many users noted that the device perfectly whips cream into a tight foam. All this is due to the planetary rotation of the corolla. Removable parts can be washed in the dishwasher.

• basic options without frills;
• quick cutting and shredding;
• makes little noise;
• large capacity.

• no significant deficiencies were identified.

For that kind of money it’s just a super food processor for the kitchen. It does everything I need and takes up little space. All attachments fit neatly into the bowl. Only with him I was able to whip the cream into a tight foam. At high speeds it wobbles and seems like it will tip over, but so far everything is fine.

All Bosch food processors presented in the rating have overload protection. Therefore, their operating time is unlimited and there is no need to wait between operations.

HomeProfessional MUM59M55

The uniqueness of this Bosch combine lies in the presence of not only a centrifugal juicer, but also a meat grinder. It can do almost everything you need to cook. Therefore, it is an indispensable assistant in the kitchen. There are two containers: for whipping and mixing, for slicing and shredding. Each has a lid. It is necessary for safety and to prevent food from splashing. The dough is kneaded for both pancakes and pancakes (up to 2.7 kg) and dumplings (up to 1.9 kg). A mini blender will allow you not only to mix up goodies, but also to take them on the road with a tight lid. You can smoothly change the intensity, as the control is mechanical with 7 speeds and turbo mode.

• multifunctionality, eliminating the purchase of additional household appliances;
• high productivity;
• smooth change of rotation intensity.

• not identified.

I’ve only been using it for a month, but from the first day I fell in love with this combine from Bosch. He has become a real helper in the kitchen. Initially I chose this model because of the meat grinder, but then I decided to try all the other options. Copes with its tasks perfectly. And now you don’t need any blenders, juicers, mixers and meat grinders. Everything is here and storage does not take up much space.

Bosch is a German brand, but its food processors are assembled in Slovenia. The equipment is of high quality and safety.

MUM 5 MUM58K20

A fairly powerful device with which you can carry out many kitchen operations using attachments: large and fine grater, shredding, whisks, dough hook and blender. The main bowl is made of stainless steel, which means it is not subject to chips and cracks. Rotation of the whisk in three directions allows you to collect contents from the bottom and walls. But, apparently, due to its small dimensions, it wobbles a lot when kneading thick dough, which confuses many buyers. Mechanical control with smooth gear shifting.

• all basic functions;
• high power;
• stylish design;
• automatic cord winding;
• compactness and convenient storage.

• not found.

Stylish and multifunctional harvester. It is quite powerful and therefore quickly copes with all operations. But it’s a little worrying when he’s kneading the dough for dumplings. The hook moves along with the body. Apparently it is unstable, although the legs are rubberized. Otherwise I'm very pleased with it.

Only for the MUM line it is possible to order additional equipment. Therefore, you can purchase meat grinders and other graters a little later. The drive allows you to knead products of different densities.

Features of Bosch food processors

A food processor makes it easier to prepare dishes in the kitchen, as it takes care of shredding, slicing and cocktails. The peculiarity of Bosch equipment is that it is multifunctional and made with high quality. This means it will serve its owner for a long time and can bring a lot of joy.

Modern Bosch models are compact and do not take up much space in the kitchen. There are also options with a blender, a juicer, an attachment for kneading dough of different densities, and even a meat grinder. Therefore, using them is a pleasure, and how much time they save!

The most popular models are considered to be two Bosch lines: MCM and MUM. The first is more compact, with low power and a 2-liter bowl. And the second is intended for large families and most models have a stainless steel bowl that has planetary rotation. Despite the variety, all Bosch models allow you to create real masterpieces and make gastronomic discoveries.

The special feature of Bosch food processors is their ability to cut food into cubes. This is indispensable when preparing for the winter and preparing vegetable dishes. However, recently the manufacturer has stopped equipping the equipment with a cube cutter and it must be purchased separately in the company store.
