2.2L bowl, 600W motor, adjustable temperature control for cook-in-bowl soups and sauces. Best if you want heating capability alongside food processing. Cooking function adds mechanical complexity; some 18+ month owners report heating element degradation before blade wear.
Best if you want cook-in-bowl capability — temperature control for heating soups and sauces in the same bowl. Cooking function adds complexity that has shown degradation in 18+ month reviews; unnecessary if you don't use the heating feature.
The De'Longhi Multifry FP8260 adds a built-in heating element with adjustable temperature control to an otherwise standard 2.2L food processor with a 600W motor. Owner reviews show the cooking function is used mainly to warm soups and sauces in the same bowl after blending, rather than for actual sauteing — the bowl surface area and heat distribution don't suit browning. As a 2.2L food processor it competently handles most home cooking tasks. The honest weakness is mechanical complexity: the heating element and temperature sensor are extra failure points, and several long-term owners (18+ months) report the heating element degrading before the blade mechanism. Choose this only if the hot-soup or warmed-sauce workflow is genuinely useful, otherwise the Braun FP3020 offers more motor power at a lower price.
