Product Description
In brushed nickel with a lustrous metallic finish, this KitchenAid food processor is a standout in any kitchen. It has a die-cast metal base and comes with an ultra wide mouth feed tube (the industry's largest) that accommodates tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes with a minimum of sectioning or slicing, saving you time in the initial stages of preparation. A separate section lets you feed smaller items into the work bowl such as single carrots, celery, herbs and nuts. A feed tube pusher is also included. With the Pulse button, you can control the length of cutting or slicing process so those sliced tomatoes don't end up being a sauce instead. The food processor comes with three work bowls: a 12-cup bowl for large jobs, a 10-cup chef's bowl that fits inside the 12-cup work bowl (slice or shred items while keeping the larger work bowl clean for another job) and a 4-cup mini bowl with its own mini blade for smaller jobs like chopping herbs, mincing garlic or making bread crumbs. The food processor comes with a multi-purpose blade, slicing and shredding discs (2- and 4-mm slicing discs and 4-mm shredding disc), a blade for mixing and kneading bread and pizza dough, an egg whip for whipping cream and egg whites for meringues, mousses and souffles, a citrus press for juicing small limes and large grapefruits and an accessory case for storing all of the accessories along with a spatula

 A HUGE improvement! Plus comes with Juicer, Egg wisk...! December 24, 2004

I received this food processor a few weeks ago and am so pleased! I previously had the Kitchenaid professional 11 cup model and this one is sooo much better! It's amazing what increasing the size by just one cup does! I had this chocolate tofu pie recipe that never quite got blended in my old processer because it was too thick and heavy, but it blends to the smoothest consistency in this one. I no longer have to break it up into batches! Plus, the extra large feed tube is a definate improvement over the older smaller versions. And this one doesn't jump around on my countertop like my older one did a bit. This one just seems REALLY solidly built. Don't get me wrong, Kitchenaids older versions were also the best for their time, this one is just even better!
The design of this model is also very sleek and I'm no longer emberassed having my processor on my countertop.
Please note, this brushed nickel model also comes with an egg wisk, a citrus juicer attachment and an extra work bowl, which don't come with the other models. I noticed this wasn't mentioned in Amazon's description but it should be. That alone justifies the slightly higher price, in addtition to the beautiful stainless finish and larger feed tube.
Beautiful, powerful and quiet! February 7, 2005

I received this processor in remarkably short time and have been exceptionally impressed by the quality and performance. It is a large machine. I was surprised by the size and weight, but it still manages to fit on the counter under the cabinets and looks wonderful.
The accessories are plentiful and the storage case is useful for keeping all the additional blades neatly organized. The chefs bowl can only be used with the disc blades (the multipurpose blades only fit the large bowl and mini bowl).
As large as the machine is, it's remarkably quiet. I quickly made a carrot cake (and cream cheese frosting), quiche and a loaf of bread without disturbing anyone else in the house. The speed with which this machine processes is stunning. I have run all the components through the dishwasher multiple times taking care to turn off the power heat option if any pieces were near the heating element to avoid damage.
The widemouth feed is large enough to take an entire large potato. Enough said.
I'm still getting acquainted with food processing, but if you want a large, powerful and quiet food processor that looks fantastic, this is a great buy.
Excellent so far January 3, 2007

After doing much research on food processors, it wound up a choice between the Kitchen Aid and the Cuisine Art. I went to the store to see in person which machine I liked better. The Kitchen Aid, it turns out, is far more user friendly than the CuisineArt. A simple click is all that is needed to lock the base and top into position. Whereas I always had to struggle with my old Cuisine Art to lock the mechanisms into place. It is a sturdy machine and as many have said, it is rather quiet, but powerful. This is not an inexpensive machine, but one hopes it will last a very long time.
I used the Kitchen Aid several times for various tasks in the month I have had it and it has been wonderful. I like that it comes with the extra work bowls and attachments and the storage container. It is easy to use and switch blades and bowls during the food prep process. Grating, mincing and slicing are easy to control with the pulse button (better than with the CuisineArt).
I was concerned about reviews that said the mechanism froze to the base and called customer service to ask about this issue. The person with whom I spoke feigned ignorance of the prevalance of the problem and said he had only heard about it happening once and that it most likely occurred when the bowl was over filled. Frankly, I do not believe him. That said, other reviewers have praised the Kitchen Aid customer service in the event of a problem. This problem has NOT happened to me, but I have not made dough in the machine yet, which is when it seems like it happens.
The look of the machine is cool and it does not take up a huge amount of counter space. I do recommend taking a look at the choices in a store in person to see what suits your needs. Then buy on Amazon where I have found, for the most part, prices to be good.
Exceptional looks and operates great! January 30, 2008

There are two reasons to buy a KichenAid. They last a long time and they add a touch of quality to the kitchen. With the second in mind, I bought this brushed nickel version since my kitchen faucets and draw handles are brushed nickel. This piece fit right in and looks great on the counter. Nothing you need to store away, this adds to the decor (along with teh KitchenAid brushed nickel blender and the Kitchen Aid brushed nickel mixer).
But, it also works very well. I did not buy these just to look good. I wanted good quality, long-lasting items and this appears to be it. I love using the food processor. It makes the work a bit easier and the wide-mouth gives you plenty of choices. The capacity is amazing at 12-cups and the washable parts easily fit in the dishwasher. It is sturdy (slightly heavy) and does everything I ask. They should list the attachments in the features as I bought a separate juicer attachment, which did not fit, and I found a similiar attachment in the box. So, don't but any attachments until you have seen what you get.
Powerful, versatile, and beautiful machine September 25, 2007

After doing my research by looking at Consumer Reports, deciding what features were most important to me, and looking at different models in the store, I finally decided on this machine. I am happy to say that I am THRILLED with this food processor. It is powerful, stable, quiet (for a food processor), and easy to use. It also comes with a special case for all of the attachments. This processor is rather large and I would recommend keeping it on your counter because it would be too cumbersome to pull out of a cabinet every time one wanted to use it. It fits comfortably underneath my kitchen cabinets but measure just in case. My only complaint is that it can be a bit difficult to clean but I imagine that is the case with most food processors. Other than that, I am enjoying this machine and have had no trouble making pizza dough and other goodies.
