[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a simple food processor that is simple to use and doesn't have too much extra stuff that you probably will never use. Then this is the food processor for you. Firstly, it only comes with too blades: one for grating and slicing and the other for chopping. Also, there are 3 speed modes to choose from - pulse, low, and high for added flexibility. Additionally, the processor is fairly quiet for its size, and the motor is durable for the hardest of foods. And when not in use, the unit is compact and easy to store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a nice food processor!! It can hold up to 7 cups at a time, so it is great for anything you are trying to make in batches like baby food, etc. It is super easy to use, and clean! Great processor and I’m happy to have such a reliable one!

Perfect size for family of 5!
on June 30, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had no clue what I was missing all these years without a food processor! I have always preferred to slice and chop food by hand and only recently decided to finally give a food processor a try since I'm so busy and always trying to find ways to make my life easier. The seven-cup processor is the perfect size for my family of five. After about ten meals, I have not found myself wishing it had more capacity. The sleek design looks perfect on my countertop and does not take up too much space. The instructions were clear, and everything was simple to put together. The bowl simply clicks into place with no twisting necessary. Everything is dishwasher-safe, which is a major plus for me, and I don't have to find extra space for them. I also love that you can store the blades inside the bowl, so it's harder to lose them. It comes with a multipurpose stainless steel blade to chop, puree, mince, or mix, as well as a reversible medium slicing/shredding disc. One side of the disc slices things such as fruit, cheese, and vegetables, and the other side shreds things such as potatoes, cabbage, vegetables, and cheese. There are three speeds on this processor; low, high, and pulse. I find that the pulse setting makes it much easier to chop foods, such as onions, to keep them from becoming minced or pureed. The ease of shredding blocks of cheese is worth the total price of the processor all by itself. A 1 pound block fits perfectly down the chute, and it's completely shredded within seconds. The only drawback is that pieces of cheese sometimes get stuck within the lid, but it's not much, so it's not a dealbreaker. It's not loud at all, and it's really easy to scrape food from the bowl after taking out the blade. There is a learning curve if you're not used to using a food processor, but luckily, there are a lot of great videos out there, and this appliance makes it super easy. Luckily, I have saved money, in the long run, using a processor because I have stopped purchasing shredded or pre-cut foods and buy bulk now instead.

Worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been wanting a food processor for a while so I jumped at the opportunity to get this one. KitchenAid is a reliable brand. I have the stand mixer in the same color as this food processor. I can't wait to use it to make homemade peanut butter. I grated cheese in it for my pasta recipe and love how I could easily disassemble and wash the parts. It doesn't take up too much counter space. I am very happy with the product and will continue to buy KitchenAid products as they are durable and worth the investment.

Surprisingly quiet! But it won’t slice full cucumbers and it can’t dice onions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This KitchenAid food processor has a lot going for it. It's a KitchenAid product, so its clever design and quality build are to be expected, and it doesn't disappoint in those aspects. This appliance is very simple and intuitive to use, and all the blades and accessories are easily stored right in the work bowl itself. It comes with a multipurpose blade for chopping, mincing, mixing, or puréeing. It even kneads dough! There's also a cutting disc included for slicing and shredding things like vegetables, fruits, cheese, and chocolate. Foods are inserted into the feed tube, helped along by the food pusher, and they are processed, whether sliced or minced or shredded, very quickly. This machine makes short work of whatever is thrown at it, at least in my limited experience. My favorite thing about it might be how incredibly quiet it is! My Ninja makes an awful racket, regardless of what operation is selected, and I expected this KitchenAid processor to do the same. To my surprise, it's actually shockingly quiet! My husband was standing in the kitchen when I first used it, and he thought I hadn't. even turned it. It's not completely silent, of course, but it isn't loud at all, so you can have a conversation while it's doing its thing, and that's a great feature. I also love that this thing isn't too heavy, and it's so easy to wash that it nearly cleans itself.
Unfortunately, there are a few problems with this machine, at least for me, personally. The first is relatively minor, but will probably be true for many other people, and that is that this food processor is too tall to fit underneath my upper cabinets, so I can't keep it on my countertop. That's not a big problem, but it is something of an inconvenience. However, for me, the bigger problem I have with it is that it doesn't work well for some of the particular foods I most frequently need to chop or slice. For example, I use cucumbers a lot, whether in salads or smoothies or to add to water. For salads, I like to slice them, but standard American cucumbers won't fit through the feed tube in the lid of this device. I have to cut them lengthwise into halves or even quarters, which isn't how I want to present my cucumber slices.
Another vegetable I use almost daily is the onion. While I could use this food processor to slice or chop them, I can't get a decent-sized dice, and that's what most of my recipes require. This machine chopped my onions, sure, but the pieces were kind of raggedy and not uniform in size.
Overall, I think this is a really good kitchen appliance. The design is mostly good, though the assembled machine is too tall to stand on most countertops without interference from upper cabinetry. Its operation is smooth and effective, and surprisingly quiet, but none of that matters if it doesn't work on the foods I use most often. Depending on your needs, I would say this processor deserves somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars. I'll round up for a generous 4-star rating, but with some major caveats. I hope KitchenAid will improve some of these flaws in future versions.

Bulky but nonetheless another excellent product from Kitchenaid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the shred disc. I was able to shred carrots in seconds. It is a bit of a large appliance so not ideal if you have no storage space. High quality parts and pieces very sturdy. The cleaning process was super easy as every part aside from the base is dishwasher safe. The safety feature is nice as it will not work if the lid isn’t closed and locked. Minimal noise, not overly loud at all. My single blender is a lot louder. All in all, another really nice appliance from Kitchenaid.
