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

 Not the good quality steel it was 20 years ago! August 8, 2008
Grandma of 10 (Ohio)
I had the Kitchenaid mixer and most attachments for at least 20 years and it has served me so very well. The slicer shredder started to crack where it attaches to the mixer, so a few months ago I ordered a new one.
Much to my surprise, the cones were not the shiny stainless steel that my 20-year old cones are, but the manual says they are dishwasher safe, so I reasoned that looks don't matter. I washed it once, put it away, and have just now used it to chop walnuts and shred zucchini. Today, I put it through its second wash in the dishwasher when I was finished using it, only to have it come out of the dishwasher with rust starting on the cone and also on the shaft.
My 20-year old attachment NEVER RUSTED! They must have made it in the USA back then and now it is made on the cheap in another country. This is the only reason I can find for the difference in the steel used. Fortunately for me, I still have the old cones and shaft and will probably substitute them, but would advise anyone else to clean with care because the new parts are made of metal that will rust.

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.
Don't waste your time on this product June 2, 2008

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.
