Product Description
Love your KitchenAid Stand Mixer? Adding the RVSA Stand Mixer Rotor Slicer Shredder lets it do more - much more! Now you can slice and shred a variety of foods with this very helpful, handy accessory.
Amazon.com Review
This attachment performs the cutting and shredding duties your food processor might: select the proper cone, slip it into the plastic housing, and attach all to your stand mixer's hub with a metal shaft. You can shred potatoes, onions, nuts, and chocolate, or slice vegetables for cooking or munching. While it adds versatility to your mixer, the unit is cumbersome to disassemble--more so than KitchenAid's other nifty attachments--and its several parts make it difficult to store. Still, it's easier on your arms than manual slicing and shredding, especially for large quantities, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. --Betsy Danheim

 shredder/slicer June 18, 2008

It works, but much of the vegetables will hang in and outside the drums.
Not the easiest to clean.
 Bad design June 3, 2008
Maggie Smith
Why can't they design good products?
1. The sides of the attachment are so short that when you grate at high speed, the food just flies everywhere. If you grate at lower speed, it really does not do a good job, plus it takes much longer. Beware: the low-watt machines are really not strong enough to grate/slice hard food, like hard cheese. The machine makes a strained noise.
2. The metal shaft which attaches the cone to the mixer is very hard to screw on and to remove.
3. The pushers that allow you to push the fund down are attached to the unit, but they will not stand upright, nor flip the other way (this is hard to explain unless you look at the attachment). This means they are constantly falling inwards, where you put the food, which means one hand has to be holding them up, and is thus wasted, whilst you are only left with the other hand to handle the food. If you're three-armed of course, it's not a problem.
In Europe, you can buy Kenwood mixers, with really powerful motors, and exceptionally well designed accessories. My mother had one from the 70s and it still goes strong. DeLonghi seems to be making a similar one, but they don't sell the grater here, only the disc attachments that work like a food processor.

I purchased this KitchenAid attachment mainly to grind nuts and chocolate when baking cookies. It does not work. A lot of big chunks of nuts or chocolate escape because the drum for grinding is located way too far from the base and it is not capable for fine grinding. Poor design, big disappointment.. It will collect dust in your kitchen, thus, don't bother with it.

A must have if you HATE to grate cheese. This gadget is easy to use and fun. The only draw back is the metal shaft that connect the blade to the machine is very hard to remove after use. I have to use vise grips to get it off.
