Xiaomi Mijia Food Processor Review: Chop, Knead, and Blend — All in One
Xiaomi Mijia Food Processor offers 500W motor power, 2.5L bowl capacity, and multiple attachments at ¥399 — a compact all-rounder for chopping, kneading, and blending.
Introduction
Food processors are versatile workhorses that can replace a dozen kitchen gadgets. The Xiaomi Mijia Food Processor (米家料理机/食物处理器) enters the scene at ¥399 (~$55 USD) with a 500W motor, 2.5L BPA-free bowl, and multiple attachments. It’s targeting the space between entry-level food processors (¥150-250) and premium brands like KitchenAid (¥1,000+).
With 8,000+ reviews on JD.com and a 95% positive rating, it’s building a reputation as a reliable mid-range option. Let’s see what it can do.

Design and Build
The Mijia Food Processor features Xiaomi’s signature white aesthetic with a grey-tinted transparent bowl — a nice touch that lets you monitor food consistency without opening the lid. The footprint is compact for a food processor, fitting comfortably on countertops with limited space.
The control dial offers two speeds plus pulse — not as refined as variable-speed dials on premium models, but sufficient for most home cooking tasks. The safety interlock prevents operation unless the bowl and lid are properly seated.
Included attachments:
- Stainless steel S-blade (chopping, pureeing)
- Dough blade (kneading bread and pizza dough)
- Slicing disc (adjustable thickness 1-7mm)
- Shredding disc (coarse shred for cheese and vegetables)
- Emulsifying disc (whipping cream, mayonnaise)
Performance
The 500W motor handles most tasks competently. It chops onions and garlic in 5-8 seconds, purees soups to smooth consistency in 30 seconds, and kneads bread dough in 2-3 minutes. It struggles slightly with very stiff doughs (e.g., noodle dough) — the motor bogs down and needs rest between batches.
Slicing and shredding are smooth and consistent. Cucumbers, carrots, and potatoes slice evenly with the adjustable disc. Cheese shredding works well when the cheese is cold.
Noise level is moderate at about 72dB — quieter than a blender but not silent. The non-slip base keeps the unit stable during operation.
What Chinese Users Say
Aggregated Ratings: 4.5/5 ★ (8,000+ reviews on JD.com, 95% positive)
“作为一个料理机新手,这个完全够用了。切菜、和面、打肉馅都很方便。2.5L容量三口之家刚好,过年包饺子省了好多时间。” — JD.com 刘女士 ★★★★★ “As a food processor newbie, this is more than enough. Chopping, kneading, mincing meat — all convenient. 2.5L is perfect for a 3-person family. Saved so much time making dumplings for Chinese New Year.”
“马力不算大,和硬面团有点吃力,需要分两批。但日常家用足够了。建议买的时候顺便买替换刀片。” — JD.com 孙** ★★★★* “Power isn’t huge — struggles with stiff dough, need to split into two batches. But sufficient for daily home use. Recommend buying spare blades with the unit.”
“清洗有点麻烦,刀片和碗的连接处容易卡食物。可以进洗碗机这点很赞。总体399元的价格很合理。” — JD.com 马** ★★★★* “Cleaning is a bit fussy — food gets stuck where the blade meets the bowl. Dishwasher-safe is a big plus. Overall, ¥399 is very reasonable.”
“颜值很高!比飞利浦和博朗的好看多了。和面功能拯救了我这个不会揉面的人,面包馒头都能做。” — 小红书用户 厨房小能手 “Beautiful design! Much nicer looking than Philips or Braun. The kneading function saved me — I can’t knead by hand, now I make bread and steamed buns easily.”
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Compact design with large 2.5L bowl
- 5 included attachments cover most tasks
- Dishwasher-safe bowl and tools
- Attractive Xiaomi design at affordable price
- Quiet operation relative to blenders
- Non-slip base for stability
Cons:

vs Competitors
vs Philips HR7627 (¥599): Philips has a stronger 750W motor and slightly larger capacity. But the ¥200 premium buys marginal performance gains for most home cooks. Xiaomi is better value.
vs Kenwood Multipro (¥899): Kenwood has variable speed, more attachments, and better build. Worth it for serious home bakers and cooks. Xiaomi covers 80% of the functionality at less than half the price.
FAQ
Q: Can it make nut butter? A: Yes, but with limitations — process in 1-minute bursts with 30-second rests to prevent motor overheating. Results are grainy rather than ultra-smooth.
Q: What’s the maximum dough quantity? A: The included recipe book recommends up to 500g of flour for bread dough. Exceeding this risks motor strain.
Q: Are replacement parts available? A: Blades, bowls, and discs are available on Xiaomi Youpin and JD.com. Expect ¥29-59 per replacement part.
