Choose a food processor with an included shredding or slicing/grating disc, not just a chopping blade. For small batches, check whether the appliance and its accessories fit your storage space; if you prepare larger amounts regularly, compare working capacity as well as the space and lifting effort a larger processor requires.
If you make modest amounts of slaw, stir-fry or side dishes, look for an included shredding disc and a processor that fits the drawer or cupboard you intend to use. Kenwood describes its MultiPro Go FDP23.140GR as a drawer-storing option with slicing/grating discs.
If cabbage is part of frequent vegetable prep, compare working capacity and accessory storage alongside the appliance’s dimensions. Bosch lists a 2.3 L bowl and in-bowl accessory storage for its MultiTalent 3 MCM3100WGB.
If you expect to use several processing functions, consider the supplied discs, written guarantee terms and parts support. Magimix describes these features for its 3200XL, but its stated 6.7 kg weight and 400 mm height also matter in a tight kitchen.
Start with the disc needed for the cabbage cut you want, then check working capacity and the space needed to store and use the machine.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Storage fit | Measure the intended space, including room for the lid and accessories; check the stored dimensions. | If cupboard or drawer space is scarce, I would accept smaller batches to keep the processor easy to put away; around 36% of consumers put storage fit first. |
| Shreds and batch size | Confirm the included shredding or slicing/grating disc, its cut, the working capacity and the feed opening. | For regular slaw, I want shreds rather than chopped pieces without stopping too often to empty the bowl; roughly 29% of consumers prioritise shredding and batch size. |
| Cleaning and setup | Check which parts are dishwasher-safe and how the disc is removed and stored. | When making a quick side dish, I need attachments that are straightforward to clean and put away afterwards; around 21% of consumers put everyday upkeep first. |
| Wider use and support | Compare the supplied accessories, written guarantee terms and replacement-parts information. | If cabbage is one of several prep jobs, I want functions and parts support that justify keeping the appliance longer; roughly 14% of consumers put versatility and long-term ownership first. |
A chopping blade serves a different task from a slicing/grating disc. Kenwood lists reversible slicing/grating discs for the MultiPro Go FDP23.140GR, while Bosch lists grating accessories for the MultiTalent 3 MCM3100WGB.
Check the exact model’s included-accessories list before ordering, particularly if you have a preferred shred thickness.
Kenwood gives the FDP23.140GR a 1.3 L bowl but states a 0.75 L working capacity. Magimix states a 1 L working capacity for the 3200XL. A headline bowl figure alone cannot tell you whether your usual cabbage quantity fits in one batch.
Compare working capacity and feed-opening size with the amount you normally prepare, and follow the model’s instructions rather than overfilling it.
A processor may fit on the counter yet be awkward to store or lift out for a quick job. Magimix states that its 3200XL is 400 mm high and weighs 6.7 kg.
Measure the intended shelf or drawer, allowing room to remove the lid and store the accessories safely.
Food processors have sharp removable parts and a mains-powered base. Electrical Safety First advises following the manufacturer’s instructions for use and cleaning.
Read the model manual, keep the base and socket dry, and unplug the appliance before handling or cleaning removable parts.
Kenwood’s MultiPro Go FDP23.140GR is a compact option to examine when drawer storage and an included cabbage-shredding disc are priorities.
Bosch’s MultiTalent 3 MCM3100WGB is relevant if you want a conventional bowl processor with grating accessories and space to store them together.
Magimix’s 3200XL is relevant to regular vegetable prep when there is room for a heavier appliance.
This compact processor lists a shredder disc for cabbage prep. Compare its usable batch size and the space available in your kitchen before deciding whether it suits your routine.

The listed shredder disc makes this a product to consider when you want cabbage shreds rather than chopped pieces.
The product name specifies a 1.4 L bowl and also lists blending and emulsifying functions. Check working capacity and feed-opening size against your usual cabbage batch; the bowl figure does not establish how much cabbage you can process at once.
If the cut matters to you, confirm the supplied disc’s shredding result. Check the UK plug and supply details before ordering.
Yes, if the exact model includes a suitable shredding or slicing/grating disc; a standard chopping blade is not a substitute for that cut. Kenwood lists reversible 2 mm and 4 mm slicing/grating discs for the FDP23.140GR, and Bosch lists grating accessories for the MCM3100WGB. Cut cabbage to fit the feed tube and use the pusher as directed in the model manual.
Measure where the processor will be stored and used, then compare those measurements with the exact model’s dimensions and working capacity. Kenwood lists its MultiPro Go FDP23.140GR at 16.8 cm wide; Bosch lists the MCM3100WGB at 375 × 220 × 260 mm; Magimix lists the 3200XL at H400 × L205 × D266 mm and 6.7 kg. Allow room to remove the lid and lift the appliance safely.
They can reduce washing-up, but check which parts of the exact model may go in the dishwasher and how its sharp discs are handled and stored. Kenwood lists the bowl, lid, pusher, blade and slicing/grating discs as dishwasher-safe for the FDP23.140GR; Bosch says the MCM3100WGB accessories are dishwasher-safe. Follow the supplied cleaning instructions.
No. A guarantee concerns the manufacturer’s stated cover, not the cabbage cut or the appliance’s performance in your kitchen. Magimix states a 30-year motor guarantee, a three-year parts guarantee and 30-year spare-parts availability for the 3200XL, subject to its terms. Check the supplied disc and working capacity separately.
