If you've got a big family and lot of food to process, the Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor came out on top as the best large food processor. If in doubt, the Core Custom is a great bet, but you can learn more in our full guide to the best food processors

Blender vs. food processor?

Blenders and food processors are very similar - at first glance they're both just bowls full of spinning knives and it's not obvious that there's any difference.

In short, a blender is better for liquid meals, such as smoothies, soups and sauces. A food processor is more versatile and can grate, shred and chop, and even knead dough.

The golden rule is that blenders are for liquids, food processors are for solids.

For more insight and detail on the blender vs. food processor debate, see our guide to blender vs food processor: which should you buy?

When do the holiday sales start?

Black Friday is the start of a sales period that runs right through to Christmas, offering big discounts on gifts just in time for the holidays. There'll be even bigger discounts in the after Christmas sales, as retailers try to get rid of surplus stock they couldn't sell in the holidays.
