Good Food Processor August 18, 2008
JBell (Athens, OH United States)

I did several days worth of research on food processors before deciding to buy the Kitchenaid KFP750. I was concerned about some of the negative reviews. Several times I thought about not buying one at all because all of the ones I checked out had several negative reviews. I had primarily decided on either a Kitchenaid or a Cuisinart. I really wanted the wide mouth model but a lot of people complained about problems with the safety device and not being able to use the whole tube. The instruction book for the 750 even says "Unlike extra-wide feed tubes, there is no pusher interlock system, so the entire length of the tube can be filled with food." Finally, I looked at the percentage of 1 and 2 star ratings on all the models I was considering. The Cuisinart models had, by far, the highest percentage of 1 and 2 star ratings. The 750 had, by far, the lowest percentage of negative reviews (1 & 2 star) compared to Cuisinart and also compared to the other Kitchenaid models, so I decided I would purchase the 750. I am not disappointed.
The 12 cup bowl is large enough to handle most any job. As with any model there are, of course, limitations and it might have to be emptied if you are doing large quantities. Some reviews have stated that it is impossible to clean. I hate washing dishes and cleanup but I didn't find that to be a problem. Even with dough in the bowl, I just soaked it for a few minutes and it cleaned right up.
I have used the dough blade and found that it does a great job. It develops the gluten in the dough extremely fast. There is a possibility of the dough getting too hot but although it was warm, the yeast wasn't harmed and the bread raised very well. The inside of the dough blade is the only part that I found hard to clean. I had to run the backside of a knife around it and then stuff a dish clothe in it to get it clean. It would probably have done well in the dishwasher but I haven't tried that yet.
The small bowl is also nice to use. I chopped onion, tomato and peppers and it did a very good job. I had a little 1 /12 C. chopper that I used to use for such jobs but I had to do one item at a time. I will be giving it away because the 4 C. bowl will hold it all and it is not any harder to clean up than the small one. One review said that when using the small bowl, the large one got dirty too so you had to wash everything. I suppose if you over fill it that could happen, but I didn't have such a problem.
The 4mm slicing disc is just right for slicing potatoes. My old processor sliced things so thin the only thing it was good for was potato chips so I never used it. I sliced peppers with the 2mm slicing disc and that too was perfect. The 4mm shredding disc it the only one that I am not totally happy with. It did an okay job but was a little too fine for grading cheese for my taste. The cheese wanted to clump together. They suggest freezing cheese for 15 minutes and maybe that would have helped. It does fine for shredding vegetables such as cabbage and carrots for coleslaw, but I'd like to purchase the 6mm shredding disc for semi-hard cheese. One review complained about cheese curling up on top of the disc. My old processor did that but I didn't have that problem with the 750. It did leave a inch slice of cheese unshredded and some stuck to the top of the disc but if you like cheese you can surely find a use for what didn't shred.
Anyone who has used a food processor before and understands their limitations should be happy with this model. If you have never used one before and think they can do anything and everything perfectly then you might be disappointed.
