If you're looking for a premium food processor, this KitchenAid model is definitely worth investigating. A well-designed powerhouse designed to become any cook's chief assistant, it measures 14 inches tall and 7-1/2 inches wide, with a clear plastic 11-cup work bowl and a bonus mini bowl, two premium-quality blades, and three discs: a reversible thin slicer/shredder, a medium slicer, and a medium shredder. It also comes with a spatula/cleaning tool and a useful plastic storage case for the blades and discs. Thoughtful features include a quick-lock lid and an easy-to-use feed tube, plus lots of easy-cleaning aspects, such as a sealed housing, a smooth control panel, and a work bowl that completely disassembles. All parts except the base are dishwasher-safe. The pulse feature comes in handy when chopping, slicing, dicing, shredding, or liquefying ingredients, and you'll also use the food processor to mix dough for bread and batter for cookies or muffins. The well-written instruction book gives thorough instructions, lots of tips, and 75 recipes that use all the processor's power to help create tasty treats. --Marcie Bovetz

 Love it, with qualifications October 30, 2007

This food processor is hard to beat. I use it several times a week. My big complaint is the cost of replacement parts. I had to pay $45 to KitchenAid to replace the bowl alone--not including the cover or the blade. I think this is outrageous.
 Great Motor poor bowl March 27, 2006

I have had my Kitchen Aid Food processor for 8 years and have found the motor strong enough to handle any situation. It does not strain when making bread dough or chopping dried fruit. And I worked it hard. The downside to this processor is the work bowl and lid. I have had to replace the lid twice and am now looking to replace it again. I personally feel that the company makes the bowls and lids cheap so they can continue to have you purchase parts from them. The customer service people were not very friendly or helpful when complaints were made. It was an attitude of "Oh well. That's your problem." If it were not for the fact that the motor was so good, I would have said forget it a long time ago.
 Poor design of work bowl, customer service unresponsive November 30, 2005

I have had this item for 3 years and the plastic on plastic design of the work bowl and lid deteriorated and cracked. When I ordered a new lid, it became stuck on the work bowl and would not budge. Customer service told me I "put it on wrong" and to try to get them apart and "hope I only broke the lid" When I emailed their customer service, I was given instructions on how to put the lid on (As if I hadn't been using it for 3 years!) Now I will have to order not only a new lid plus a new work bowl to the tune of another $50 to be able to use it! Other than that, I am satisfied :(
Still Outstanding After 9 Years. November 15, 2004

I purchased my KitchenAid KFP600 food processor 9 years ago, and I was recently surprised to find that KitchenAid still produces exactly the same model. I shouldn't have been surprised. This is an exceptional food processor. Mine is in great shape after nearly a decade of moderate use (a few times a week), and I see no reason why it shouldn't last a decade more.
The 11-cup work bowl is ideal when cooking for 2-6 people. The spring that holds the work bowl in place and the cover on works as well today as it did when the processor was new. Although KitchenAid says that you can put the work bowl and cover in the dishwasher, I don't recommend it. The hot water causes the plastic to expand, which can make it difficult to lock the lid onto the bowl. Not so difficult that it can't be done, but the lid squeaks quite a bit after it's gone through the dishwasher. I bought the KFP600 shortly after it debuted, and no one had seen a mini bowl before. It looked useful. I thought I'd use the mini bowl to chop small quantities of food, saving myself from having to wash the big work bowl every time. Now I wouldn't buy a food processor without a mini bowl. I use the mini bowl to chop onions and garlic. It's invaluable. Think you can't chop garlic in a food processor? You can in the mini bowl. I prefer the mini bowl for onions, as well, because there is no risk that half the onion will be mush before the other half is chopped. And the mini bowl and mini blade are easy to clean. You can put them in the dishwasher without any ill effect.
The power base of the KFP600 is fairly heavy and stays put when you run the processor. The motor on mine is as good as new. The "clean touch" off/on/pulse buttons don't protrude from the control pad, so they're easy to wipe off. The machine is generally easy to clean. There is a place to coil the cord underneath the power base. It's difficult to get the cord to coil properly, though, and would be frustrating if you had to do it often. I wrap the cord around the base, where it is out of the way and readily accessible.
In addition to the 11-cup work bowl and multipurpose blade, the mini bowl and mini blade, the cover and the feed tube pusher, the KFP600 comes with a few accessories: There is a dough blade, which I confess to never having used in 9 years. I use the regular blade to make dough, and it has done an excellent job. Also included are 3 slicing/shredding discs which are mounted in the processor with a disc stem. There is a medium slicing disc, a medium shredding disc (both 4 mm), and a reversible thin slicing/shredding disc. There is also an oddly shaped, useless spatula. The accessories are contained in a large plastic storage box, 7"h x 7 1/2"w x 10 1/2"d, that is clear on the top and sides. There is space to store the optional egg whip and the multipurpose blade, as well, but the box is unnecessarily large. The instruction book for the KitchenAid KFP600, which has English and Spanish sections, is conveniently spiral-bound, so it will lie flat. The instructions are straightforward and well-illustrated, and followed by 32 recipes.
I have chopped, sliced, shredded, grated, pureéd, liquified, and made pie dough with this food processor for 9 years. I can honestly say that it has never performed less than perfectly. And it's still going strong.
This Food Processor is Second to None!!! November 11, 2004

My Mother got me this food processor last year for my birthday and the machine has had barely any rest since. I have shredded, chopped, ground, diced, sliced and mixed just about anything you can imagine. From nuts to pesto, to onions and cake, breadcrumbs and hash browns. Everything comes out perfectly. And the attachments are great. With the large shredder disk I have shredded zucchini for lasagna, with the slicing disk I make perfect onion slices. And the small bowl is fantastic. When I need onion and garlic, I first make the garlic in the small bowl, then the onions in the large - that way I can prep everything without having to wash the bowl in between.
One thing, though: I wish the attachment case were smaller or a little more practical. It takes up so much room on my few square feet of counter space that I usually end up putting things on top of it, which of course makes it difficult to get to the accessories. But I can live with that.
I love how the items clean up - nothing gets stuck, no stains remain and - most importantly - no smells linger.
If I had to do it all over - I WOULD GET THIS MACHINE AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT - I LOVE IT!!!
