KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor - KFP1318

I love my food processor but it has a few annoying design flaws. First, the top rather than twisting off has a right hand hinge. First, unless you take the top off the hinge it is in the way when adding product. Second, unless you have your hands on them, the smaller plungers go flying across the room. I have broken corners off the middle plunger twice. Both the bowl, the top, and the plungers are made of a brittle plastic. I anticipate having to replace them in fairly short order. As a slicer, shredder and processor it preforms like a champ. I have made a total of 20 pounds of pimento cheese and prepared and Italian sausage dish as an appetizer for 350 for a fundraiser. All the slicing, shredded, grating and processing was done quickly and efficiently. The fact that shredding or slicing blades can be attached above the processing blade saves time by combining two processes into one. Except for the design limitations. Except for the design limitations I mentioned it is the best processor I’ve owned. This is my third generation.

great product for a reasonable price. I replaces a Cuisinart 9 cup processor that had the activation rocker break off making it inoperable. The kitchen aid seems to be better built and attachments seem rugged. Most importantly the processor works great. The blades are very sharp its easy to assemble and the storage compartment feature keeps all the attachments in one place.

So I got this for my wife to replace her 20 year old kitchenaid food processor. This new one has several advantages over the old one. 1. The motor noise is much lower, It's pretty quiet compared to the old one and just seems quiet in general. We'll see if that holds up longer term but I was impressed by the sound level. 2. The blade storage system is really nice. The old unit just didn't have a way to easily stack the blades and accessories inside the bowl. The jumble of parts made cut fingers a risk so we just didn't do it. The main blades stayed in but the rest of the parts were stored somewhere else. 3. Power seems really good. My wife has done some bread dough and a few other things so far and she's commented several times on how well it worked. 4. The bowl just lifts off. compared to the old one with it rotate and lift setup its just a little more convenient and easier to use. Only thing to get used to is the latching and safety systems. They're not bad but the lid has to be FIRMLY latched down to energize the unit. She had a couple of times where the lid was down and the rubber seal engaged but it wasn't down that last 2-3 millimeters to the latch was fully caught and the unit wasn't running. She asked me to look at it and for a minute I thought the breaker had tripped before I figured out the latch wasn't down 100%. Not a huge deal and once you figure it out you know to double check it but it's something to be aware of. In our case the problem was made worse because the power cord for the coffee machine on the other side of the kitchen island had gotten a little loose and the coffee maker wouldn't turn on. So initially it seemed like the power to the island was out all the way.

I have been looking for a food processor that was easy to use and easy to clean. I also wanted something that does not take up too much counter space because I use it everyday. I have had it since Christmas and so far, the Kitchenaid is a tough machine that is easy to clean, assembles easily, and does a great job with whatever I make. The one exception is the dough paddle. It does not do well making pie crust or dough. Just use the regular blade. That works best.

I like KitchenAid products because of the quality but when the food processor arrived I was little surprised that KitchenAid issuing now not quite good quality materials, there are more plastic, like the lock. However it’s work properly.

I had an old (25 yr) Cuisinart food processor that finally died, so I bought this KitchenAid based on reviews and price point. I use it very regularly and am so glad that I bought this model. With all of the attachments fitting inside of the bowl, this doesn't take up too much space. It also makes finding the different blades and attachments. This food processor is plenty powerful enough for anything that I've processed. It shreds vegetables and cheese with ease, and the blade is great for chopping food and/or mixing. The noise level is low. I've had blenders that probably were 80+ dB, but this does not get anywhere near that loud. I don't feel like I'm interrupting anything when I use the food processor. I also have been able to hold normal conversations while running it. I'm hoping this will last another 25 years, and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy processor.

Considerando che vendono su Amazon Italia, dovrebbero specificare meglio che si tratta di un elettrodomestico che funziona con voltaggio a 110 volt. Il prodotto è arrivato con un convertitore di corrente che non funziona e mi ha quasi bruciato la resistenza della macchina. Ho dovuto spendere altri 100 euro per comprarne uno che funzionasse e poter usare il prodotto. Detto questo il prodotto funziona ed è di ottima qualità

Puedes ajustarle el grosor de los cuadrito y pícaros finos o gruesos :D también se pueden hacer papas fritas.

Excelente producto
