Why this food processor earns its place
The R45VV is the workhorse of any serious prep kitchen — a floor-standing vertical cutter-mixer with the capacity and speed to handle everything from pâtés and sausage fillings to curry pastes, mayonnaise, pesto and soft doughs. With a 45-litre bowl and blade array that swaps between cutting, emulsifying and kneading modes, you load your ingredients once and the machine adapts to the task.
At 300 rpm, the motor spins fast enough to build texture and emulsion — that's how a few egg yolks and oil become silky mayonnaise, how chicken becomes mousse, how vegetable and fish trimmings become fine purée. The vertical design means ingredients stay in contact with the blades continuously; you're not waiting for gravity to reposition things. Load a batch, run for the time your recipe calls for, and unload a finished product.
Built from stainless steel with 400V three-phase power, the R45VV is hospital-scale durable. It sits 1,400 mm tall and 1,250 mm wide (the height includes the motor head), so you need ceiling clearance and floor space — but once positioned, the footprint is efficient and the throughput is transformative. At 190.7 kg, it's a permanent install, not a portable worktop machine. The 1-year warranty covers parts and labour.
