Dito Sama Dito Sama Prep4You Cutter Mixer Food Processor 9 Speeds 3.6L Stainless Steel Bowl P4U-PV3S

The Dito Sama Prep4You P4U-PV3S is a benchtop cutter mixer with a 3.6 L 304 stainless steel bowl, running at a variable 500 to 3,600 rpm on 750 W from a standard 10 amp outlet. It chops, mixes and emulsifies — it does not slice; that is the combination model's job.

Why operators choose the P4U-PV3S

• 3.6 L 304 stainless steel bowl — stainless takes knocks, hot product and years of commercial washing without clouding or scratching; you lose the ability to watch the texture through the wall, so you work by time and pulse instead
• Variable speed, 500 to 3,600 rpm — low speed for coarse chopping without turning onions to liquid, high speed for smooth sauces, dressings and emulsions. This is the model to pick if fine purees and mousses are on the menu
• Speed count: the supplier describes this model as 5-speed in one place and 9-speed in another, so we publish the range both agree on, 500 to 3,600 rpm, rather than a count. Check the height before you plan shelf clearance — our records give this variable-speed 3.6 L model a height of 476 mm, while the single-speed 3.6 L model is recorded at 576 mm. The supplier's figures agree with ours, but the gap between two otherwise matching machines is unusual, so confirm with us if a shelf sits close
• Micro-toothed 420 stainless steel blades and a composite bowl-and-lid scraper — the scraper keeps product moving back into the blades, so you stop less often to scrape down by hand
• Pulse button on a flat, sealed touch panel rated IPX5 — nothing for food to lodge in, and it wipes down with the rest of the bench
• Every food-contact part comes off without tools and is dishwasher safe — the bowl, lid, blades and scraper go through the warewasher between jobs, which is what makes it usable for allergen changeovers
• Brushless induction motor with a stainless steel shaft — quieter and longer-lived than a brushed motor, and nothing to wear out at the brushes
• Rated by the supplier at up to 50 covers per service — a prep machine for a single kitchen, not a production line
• 2 years return to base — a fault is repaired at the service agent's workshop rather than on site, so you bring or freight the machine in. On a benchtop unit this size that is practical, but plan a back-up for the days it is away

Specifications

Venue suitability

A cutter mixer earns its place in cafes, restaurants, delis, caterers and aged-care kitchens that make their own sauces, pestos, dips, crumbs, stuffings and purees. The 3.6 L bowl suits larger batches — dips for a full service, or a bigger kitchen's mise en place. If you also need sliced, grated or diced vegetables, look at the combination model linked below rather than buying two machines.

Need slicing as well? The Prep4You P4U-PV301S3 combination cutter/slicer adds a vegetable-slicing head to the same base. Compare the rest of the Dito Sama range, or browse our food processors and food preparation equipment.

Installation & delivery

Plugs into a standard 10 amp outlet — 750 W draws a little over 3 amps, so it shares a circuit comfortably. The supply is recorded as 220-240 V single phase, 50/60 Hz. Footprint 252 x 334 mm and 476 mm high, net weight 14.5 kg — light enough to lift off the bench for storage. It ships in a 410 x 630 x 520 mm carton. Keep enough clearance above it to lift the lid and bowl straight off.

Warranty terms are per product — see our warranty information page.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can it slice vegetables?

No. The P4U-PV3S is the cutter mixer only - it chops, mixes and emulsifies in the bowl. If you need slicing, grating, dicing or chips, the matching combination model (P4U-PV301S3) adds a vegetable-slicing head to the same base.

Q: Should I choose the copolyester or the stainless steel bowl?

Copolyester is transparent, so you can watch the texture and stop at exactly the right point. Stainless steel is tougher, does not scratch or cloud, and copes better with years of commercial washing. This model has the stainless steel bowl.

Q: Single speed or variable speed - which do I need?

This model is variable speed, 500 to 3,600 rpm, which gives control from coarse chopping up to smooth emulsions and purees. The single-speed models run at a fixed 1,500 rpm with a pulse button, which is fine for chopping and mincing.

Q: How many speeds does it have?

The supplier describes this model as 5-speed in one place and 9-speed in another, so we publish what both agree on: variable speed from 500 to 3,600 rpm. Ask us if the exact number of steps matters to you.

Q: What warranty does it carry?

Two years return to base. A fault is repaired at the service agent's workshop, so you bring or freight the machine in rather than a technician coming to you. See our warranty information page for the general terms.
