Great unit and the onboard blade storage it really nice
So I got this for my wife to replace her 20 year old kitchenaid food processor. This new one has several advantages over the old one.1. The motor noise is much lower, It’s pretty quiet compared to the old one and just seems quiet in general. We’ll see if that holds up longer term but I was impressed by the sound level.2. The blade storage system is really nice. The old unit just didn’t have a way to easily stack the blades and accessories inside the bowl. The jumble of parts made cut fingers a risk so we just didn’t do it. The main blades stayed in but the rest of the parts were stored somewhere else.3. Power seems really good. My wife has done some bread dough and a few other things so far and she’s commented several times on how well it worked.4. The bowl just lifts off. compared to the old one with it rotate and lift setup its just a little more convenient and easier to use.Only thing to get used to is the latching and safety systems. They’re not bad but the lid has to be FIRMLY latched down to energize the unit. She had a couple of times where the lid was down and the rubber seal engaged but it wasn’t down that last 2-3 millimeters to the latch was fully caught and the unit wasn’t running. She asked me to look at it and for a minute I thought the breaker had tripped before I figured out the latch wasn’t down 100%. Not a huge deal and once you figure it out you know to double check it but it’s something to be aware of.In our case the problem was made worse because the power cord for the coffee machine on the other side of the kitchen island had gotten a little loose and the coffee maker wouldn’t turn on. So initially it seemed like the power to the island was out all the way.

Good Size for Cooking for Two
We typically are cooking for two and this food processor meets our needs perfectly. Works well and is fairly easy to clean.

Great food processor, but don’t try bread dough : )
I have used this amazing small food processor for a few months, and overall, I am satisfied with it’s operation and it works for most of its intended functions. This was a low-cost alternative to me and for it’s price, it performs ok.On the plus side, this little processor does most of what it was designed to do extremely well. It’s quick to set up, easy to break down and store. It is quick to process the foods it’s assigned. This processor is aloso really quiet compared to our old blender, and even our newer smoothie mixer. I really think it is doing it’s job well.On the negative side, however, it is not capable of doing a good job with a full-size bread recipe. You might be able to get away with fixing non-yeast breads and other types of batter-type breads in it, but when it comes to yeasted breads, the dough is just too stiff in it. It not only bounced all over the place and caused a ruckus, but even after holding it down (for 15 minutes) so I could proceed with my recipe, its bread paddle kept coming loose and sliding up the pole where it was of no use to mixing the bread itself. A second, but lesser downfall is if you have typical over-the-counter cupboards, the processor is too tall to store under them when it is fully assembled. I do not have lower storage available so I leave larger appliances on one part of my counter and this processor was too tall. I have to store it with the food intake slid behind it vs on top.I believe if you’re looking for a mixer that can do bread, it would be best to stick with the wide-based stand mixers rather than this tall, but otherwise efficient, model of food processor. It is just too tall and too narrow to make yeast breadWould I buy it again… yes, because it does most of what it was designed to do. I very rarely make bread anyhow 🙂

Light and easy to use
I currently own a larger Cuisinart food processor which is quite heavy and difficult to use. Particularly when you need to attach and detach the food prep bowl. This KitchenAid processor is about half the weight of my current one, and the lid and bowl are very easy to attach and empty. The capacity is still large enough that I feel it fit my needs for years to come. The only part I see that could be improved upon at this time is the locking mechanism for the lid, it seems cheaply made and possibly easy to break. Hopefully time will prove me wrong.

Great Processor
When my old processor died, I bought this. It has several attachments, the quality is very good, and I use it often – no problems!

Bought it for mom for a late Christmas present and so far she absolutely loves it though she was afraid to wash the blade(it cut her).
