 Let Down By KitchenAid May 16, 2008
Jennifer Booker (Edmond, OK)

I have cooked professionally for 20 years and have used many brands of food processors. I have never had any trouble ever using a food processor until purchasing this KitchenAid. I waited several years before replacing a Sunbeam that I inherited from my mother-in-law that is now 30+ years old. I had no idea anyone was making food processors that long ago! The thing was a work horse, but had no safety features (it could run with the top completely removed!). Now that I have a child, I decided to upgrade to a safer piece of equipment.
The KitchenAid Processor is a beautiful piece of equipment and very quiet WHEN IT WORKS. Many times I could not get the machine to come on due to the safety switch built into the handle not engaging properly. When I called KitchenAid for help they would walk me through putting it together and made note of my troubles. The last time I called them, it put me over a year since purchase so they replaced it with a refurbished model. That would be fine, however this one is flawed, as well. It has the same problem other reviewers mentioned with the plastic on the blade shaft being shaved off while making a horrible unbearable screeching sound. Now I am back to square one and tempted to toss it and buy a different brand. I could have chopped, grated and worked dough by hand for a year in all the time I have wasted messing with two defective machines. This has been such a disappointment and I feel let down by KitchenAid.

By far surpasses the performance of my last cuisinart and for less than half the price. I have used it heavily since the day it arrived and have nothing but good things to say. There is a little leakage if you try to overfill the hopper, but that is to be expected when you overfill any machine. It is super quiet too given the extremely powerful motor.
Quite and efficient May 14, 2008

Love this processor. It is quite and efficient. The mini bowl has been more useful than I thought it would be. Highly recommend this unit.

Bought on sale for $129. Can't get anything this good for this price anywhere!
We also own a 14 cup Cuisenart, and my wife likes this one better. Would give this one 4.5 stars but amazon doesn't allow 1/2 stars.
The reason for the non-perfect score is that sometimes liquid or thin pastes can dribble into the stem area of the base. I.e., there isn't a perfect seal between the bowl and the base where the chopping blade is connected. Spillage is minimal (1 teaspoon or so), but it happens often and needs a small cleanup. Great product overall!
Have also owned a Hamilton Beach processor in the past...unless you can't afford the more expensive models, only go with KitchenAid or Cuisenart!

Generally I really like KitchenAid products. In fact, I replaced a 23 year old KitchenAid unit with this item. I like the unit for its power and capability, but it does have a flaw that is hard to ignore.
As a safety precaution, the bowl and lid must be on in order to get the unit to operate. There is a safety switch that is pressed when the bowl and lid are in place. When the lid snaps into the handle of the bowl, it causes a mechanism in the handle of the bowl to press the safety switch. Quite often, when bowl and lid are in place on my unit, the mechanism does not push the switch far enough to allow my unit to run. To get around this problem, I have to firmly push the bowl of the unit in the direction of the switch.
I find this annoying, and I'm concerned over time, this may stop working. In MY opinion, the mechanism in the handle is not constructed with precision engineered parts. They are plastic, which is not evil by its self. But the mechanism is obviously not made to standard where you can be confident the safety switch will be pressed every time.
Given the cost of the unit, and that KitchenAid promotes itself as a high end product provider, I think they blew it on this switch mechanism. If my unit is typical, (which obviously I have no way to tell) I think this will be a big turn off (pun intended) and ultimately affect customer satisfaction and acceptance of this product.
