What size food processor is best for a small kitchen?

For a small kitchen with limited counter and storage space: a 3 to 7-cup food processor handles 80% of small-kitchen tasks (chopping one onion, making a batch of hummus, pureeing a single cup of soup, mincing garlic or herbs). The Cuisinart DLC-2ABCY 4-cup Mini-Prep is the smallest practical option, it fits in a standard cabinet shelf alongside other small appliances and pulls out in 10 seconds. The KitchenAid KFP0718 7-cup is the largest compact model: 9 inches wide and 14 inches tall, storing under most standard upper cabinets. Full-size 11 to 14-cup processors (typically 10 inches wide and 16+ inches tall) are often too large for kitchens with standard 18-inch clearance under upper cabinets.

Is a mini food processor worth buying instead of a full-size?

A mini food processor (3 to 5-cup) is worth buying as a primary kitchen appliance when: you cook for 1 to 2 people, your recipes rarely require processing more than 2 cups at a time, or your kitchen physically cannot accommodate a full-size model. Mini food processors are not adequate replacements for full-size when: you regularly make dips for more than 2 people (4-cup hummus fills one large bowl, not enough for a gathering), you shred or slice vegetables in quantity (mini discs are smaller and slower), or you make dough. For true space constraints: the Cuisinart Mini-Prep is the best mini available.
