KitchenAid could do a lot better
on September 27, 2026
Posted by: Vallen8837
Very little instructions, it doesn’t tell you that you need another attachment. I have the fruit and meat grinder attachment that is needed, but that doesn’t even fit. I don’t know if it’s because the grinder is older, (but less than 10 years old). I had to go online to find instructions. I think KitchenAid could do a lot better. I am very frustrated and extremely disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I absolutely love my stand mixer! I have the meat grinding attachment, the vegetable and fruit strainer and ice cream maker (I haven't used this yet). I have the heavy duty mixer as we can tomatoe sauce. I gave the smaller one to my friend. I have a couple of questions; 1. Does the ice cream bowl HAVE to stay in the freezer at all times? 2. I have the larger hopper that slides onto the meat grinder hopper to make tomato sauce. Can you make this so it fits into the meat grinding hopper half way (tube-shaped, medium bowl shaped on top) or put seals on the parts to avoid spilling over when it gets too much juice? Thank you for listening to possible improvements and for having a wonderful product!

Received as a gift. Was SO excited but the during the first use processing Roma tomatoes and the strainer is split. Now it’s useless.

I got this as a gift to use with my KitchenAid food grinder, but the part that’s supposed to fit into the attachment hub doesn’t match the notch at all. It won’t lock in or even go in, making the whole attachment unusable. Yes, I have the food grinder attachement required to use this attachement. Why would a brand‑new KitchenAid accessory not fit my mixer? It is not the old style and it is not refurbished as far as I know (again it was a gift). I have no receipt so I dont know when it was purchased. So I now have a worthless dust collector.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible! Misleading advertising and disappointing!! We are missing the part that you need to push the fruits and vegetables in, it was terribly misleading on the packaging. I see we are not alone!! Everything we bought was far too expensive for what we ended up getting, we feel fooled and shafted. Can’t use it at all! Do better Kitchen Aid, someone surely needs a demotion.!! Who knew we were buying frustration and disappointment!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible compatibility. Why would you make a metal food grinder that isn't compatible with the fruit and vegetable strainer or vise versa? Ridiculous. I was looking forward to processing all of my fresh tomatoes but was disappointed to learn that the KSMFVSP strainer isn't compatible with the metal grinder (model KSMMGA). Very disappointing. I received both as gifts at Christmas and now can't return them. I was expecting better from Kitchenaid.

Dear Chris, Thank you for your feedback. While your Fruit and Vegetable Strainer Attachment seems to be functioning as intended. We're sorry to hear it hasn't fully met your expectations. Please reach out to our Customer Experience team at 800-541-6390 so we can assist further.
I preserve hundreds of jars of food every year, and I generally really like this attachment, with one [growing] annoyance: the spout is directed back toward the machine, and the length of the spout is such that it's REALLY hard to find a bowl that fits under it. The spout is too short to direct liquids back into the seated mixer bowl, and too long to fit a flat-bottomed pot under it. The base of the machine stops any straight-sided container from being able to fit. The spout lands in the 2-inch gap between either option being viable, and it's a colossal pain in the neck.
As a result, the only options are to (1) put a smaller bowl with a curved bottom under the spout and create a huge mess as sauce splashes down into it, or (2) jimmy rig a spout of aluminum foil that extends the sauce attachment's reach into the seated mixer bowl.
The inconvenience of finding solutions sometimes keeps me from preserving, if I'm being totally transparent.
If anyone from product development sees this comment, this is my solution (read: plea) - Build out two spout options. One that directs sauce to the side (away from the user), where we can place a pot we're using to boil down the sauce. The other that extends back toward a seated/secured mixing bowl, where I have the rest of the sauce ingredients and don't have to worry about the bowl tipping over.
I really want to stay loyal to Kitchenaid. I have fond memories using your machines in kitchens long gone quiet, and I appreciate your history of high-quality products. Unfortunately, it seems there is a break in communication between the design team and the end user.
