Blenders with a food processor or chopper (2026)

Values come from the maker pages listed under Sources. "Not stated" means the maker page doesn't say; it doesn't mean the feature is missing.

The six blenders here fall into two groups, and the group matters more than any single spec.

Countertop kitchen systems (Hamilton Beach 3-in-1, Ninja UltraCrush, Ninja Detect Professional, Ninja Professional Plus) put a blender pitcher and a food processor bowl on one motor base. You swap the container rather than the motor. Ninja's three systems each list an 8-cup bowl; for the Detect and Professional Plus systems Ninja says the bowl handles chopping, purees and up to 2 lbs. of dough. The Detect model also has a feed chute lid, and Ninja says it can slice and shred. The Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 has a smaller 3-cup food processor attachment that Hamilton Beach says slices, shreds and chops. All four also come with a single-serve cup or travel jar, so one base covers big batches, single smoothies and chopping.

Immersion blenders with a prep bowl (Braun MultiQuick 5, Breville the All in One) are hand blenders whose motor clicks onto a bowl. The Braun's chopper holds 350 ml (1.5 cups): enough for herbs, nuts, an onion or a little pesto. The Breville goes further with a 6-cup food processing bowl, an S-blade, a slicing disc and a reversible shredding disc, so it can slice and grate as well as chop. Neither lists a blending jug or cup size, so for smoothies you'd blend in your own tall container.

• If you want one appliance for smoothies, frozen drinks and chopping → a countertop kitchen system. The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System adds two to-go cups and five Auto-iQ presets; the Ninja UltraCrush has the same 8-cup bowl with manual speeds and one cup.
• If you also want to slice or shred → the Ninja Detect Professional Blender and Food Processor (feed chute lid), the Breville the All in One (slicing and shredding discs) or, on a budget, the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1.
• If you mostly make soups and sauces and want a small chopper on the side → the Braun MultiQuick 5 or the Breville the All in One. You blend in the pot and keep the bowl for prep.
• If you want a food processor attachment for under $100 → the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1, the only full-size system here under $100 on its maker's store, with a smaller 3-cup attachment.

• Bowl size. The prep bowls range from 350 ml (1.5 cups) on the Braun to 8 cups on the three Ninja systems. A small chopper is quick to wash; a big bowl takes a whole batch of dough or coleslaw.
• Slicing and shredding. Among these six, the Breville the All in One (slicing and shredding discs), the Ninja Detect Professional and the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 say they slice and shred; the others describe chopping, purees and dough.
• Counter space. A kitchen system keeps a pitcher, a bowl and cups on one base; an immersion blender with a bowl stores in a drawer. We don't record dimensions, so check the maker page if space is tight.
• Order. We use the price on the maker's store, which can change.

Of the 32 blenders we catalogued (as of October 19, 2026), 7 come with a food processor bowl or chopper stated by their maker: 4 full-size kitchen systems and 3 immersion blenders. This list includes six of them, ordered by price on the maker's own store, lowest first. The seventh, the Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender, has a 500 ml chopper and is in the finder; we left it off because it overlaps closely with the MultiQuick 5.
