Food processors & choppers

Food processors and choppers in South Africa

Updated 31 October 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites in October 2026, a basic chopper costs R 170 to R 450 in South Africa, and a 750 W food processor R 1,000 to R 1,600. Premium brands run from R 1,800 to R 3,200. For a price on the bowl size and power you need, describe what you cook in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Warranty and what the brand promises

Warranty terms vary by brand, so read them before you buy. Kenwood, for example, gives two years from the date of purchase and ten years on the motor, but only for listed models. Bosch publishes its warranty periods for South African buyers, and some listings quote a two-year warranty on food processors. Keep the receipt, because the Kenwood terms count from the date of purchase.

Summer and winter cooking

Summer runs from December to February, and it is salad, salsa and cold soup season, when a small chopper is handy for fresh herbs. Winter, from June to August, is soup and stew season, when a bigger bowl saves time. Think about which season you cook most in before you choose the size: a 5-litre chopper suits batches, while a small bowl is enough for herbs and onions.

Delivery and new or used

Ask whether delivery to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha is included, because larger appliances may be charged separately. Used processors are cheaper, but check the model number and ask whether the brand warranty still applies to a second owner. Buying new keeps the warranty simple.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want a chopper, a food processor or a multi-function model, and the power you want in watts. Add the bowl capacity in litres, the attachments you need, such as a dough blade or a grater disc, whether new or used is fine, and your budget in rand. Name your city so sellers can confirm delivery.
