My “food processor” is a Thermomix.

It can hold a lot more, process much harder items, and generally do a much better job than simply liquefying like a blender.

I’m unsure if this is how all food processors work, but the way the Thermomix *works* differently to a blender is through precisely angled blades, and most importantly, oscillations of the blade speed.

By oscillating the blade speed at certain levels, it can achieve a much more even chop/grate than a blender without slushing anything. The oscillations make the food crash against itself and bounce around a bit more due to the changing speed, to allow a more even process.
