Equipped with 5-cup and 2-cup work bowls, this compact food processor is ideal for small households or for small jobs when a large unit isn't necessary. Each bowl has its own blade, and the smaller bowl is perfect for mincing herbs, chopping onions and tomatoes, and making bread crumbs. Also included is a reversible, stainless-steel disk with one side for shredding such foods as cheese and potatoes and the other for slicing carrots and cabbage. At 450 watts the unit is amply powered for the size of the work bowls. A large, uncomplicated feed tube simplifies adding ingredients. Cleanup is simple, too, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe of the power base and its touchpad controls, and all other parts are dishwasher-safe. The processor measures just 6-3/8 inches wide, 13-3/4 inches high, and 7-1/2 inches deep and weighs 10 pounds so it won't skitter on the counter during operation. KitchenAid says the first year of the processor's lifetime warranty against defects is "hassle-free," with a replacement shipped at no cost and without question if a defect is detected. --Fred Brack

 BROKE after a year January 17, 2006

I purchased this item in cobalt blue just over a year ago, Dec 13, 2004. I used it about 3-4 times for my favorite recipe 'latke', the rest of the time it just sat, cute, on my kitchen counter. Last week for the first time after several months I decided to do my recipe but the machine was DEAD. No power, nothing. I tried all the switches in the house and made sure the bowl was on properly etc..but nothing to do. I couldn't believe it because the last time I used it it worked fine! Of course, it was no longer under the 1year Kitchen Aid warranty. I was given the name of a local Kitchen Aid repair shop and this is what it would have cost me to fix the problem: $45 up front fee, regardless of what needed to be done, plus the cost of labor and parts. It could have easily gone as high as $100-125. Just not worth it.
I always thought Kitchen-Aid was a reliable name but after this, I will definitely think twice before buying any KitchenAid item again.
 Broke after a year! December 25, 2005

Unlike their famous mixers, this KitchenAid food processor isn't worth the money. It does not have all metal parts like the mixer and seems to be cheaply made.
I used this 3-4 times a week on average for a year. The plastic part that holds the blade broke after a year (two weeks after the warranty expired) during normal use. I called KitchenAid and they gave me the name and phone number of a repair shop that repairs small KitchenAid appliances. It was the only shop in my area. I called the shop and they said they would charge me $60.00 just to look at it, plus the cost of repair and any parts that I needed! No thanks!
KitchenAid needs to redesign this product and bring it up to the same standards as their mixture.
 AWESOME processor....Highly Recommended December 2, 2005

I love this little food processor! It does everything I need and does it well. Its fairly small...you can find a space for it in most cupboards or out of the way someplace but heavy for its size. Its well built. The cord is thick but short, very short. The color is nice, not bright red but a darker red. The work bowls are the only weak point. They make break or crack but I dont know that. Just plastic. The blades are sharp! I cut myself slightly putting the processor together. I am happy I bought this and would recommend it. Excellent Kitchenaid quality.
Great little machine! November 30, 2005

I cook for just two people and overall I think this little chopper is perfect for us. I will review each of its attributes below.
1. Size. The footprint is very small so it doesn't take up much counter space. Of course it's also light enough that you could store it in a cabinet, but I use it so much that I might as well just leave it out. I think the food bowl is a generous size, but I upgraded from a 3-cup chopper. If you are used to something bigger, this might be too small for you.
2. Chopping. It does a fine chop very, very well and quickly -- provided you do not overload it. If you overload it, the chop will be uneven and you'll end up with mush on the bottom while there are still large pieces on top. I would not use it to do a coarse chop -- I find it easier to do an even coarse chop by hand.
3. Slicing. We made a potato gratin using this chopper. I had thought that it would make too thin a slice, but found that if I put pressure on the potato (with the included food pusher), I had perfect thickness slices for potato gratin.
4. Shredding. Used it to shred cheese. Does well on medium hard cheeses like cheddar. Made a great big racket on very hard cheese like parmesan, but though I feared for the motor, it did shred the cheese.
5. Noise -- Surprisingly quiet.
6. Ease of clean-up. Just put everything in the dishwasher. Great.
7. Two bowls instead of one. The smaller bowl fits inside the larger one. Maybe I'm messy but I found it almost impossible to use the small bowl without "soiling" the larger bowl. Something always dropped into the big one. But, I still like having two bowls because with some recipes, there are a lot of things you need to chop, and with two bowls I don't have to wash the bowl in order to chop something else.
Overall, I'm very, very happy with this purchase.
UPDATE Sept 6, 2006: My little food processor is still going strong! I'm still loving it and using it a few times a week -- mostly for chopping onions, carrots, herbs, making bread crumbs, fine-grinding meat, etc. The best [...]I have spent in the kitchen!
Any "FOODIE" will love this! November 22, 2005

I spend a lot of time with kitchen gadgets...I'm a culinary historian and author of "California Pioneers, Their Stories, Culture and Cuisine." Hence... I am always trying out a new "old" recipe, not once but often several times over in order to test the recipe in its authentic "antique" version and then update the recipe for real cooks in today's world. The point is, this little food processor is a godsend. It has the power and attachements to do the work (be it chop, slice or grind) quickly and relatively quietly. It won't perform a bump and grind dance all over your counter and when it's at its peak performance, it doesn't rattle the timbers. Personally, I consider the RED color my perfect choice.
