I bought one of these for my wife. We're at the limit for storage space. I actually brought home one of the larger Kitchen Aid units and I had to take it back because we didn't have room to store it!
This unit is heavy, powerful, and quiet for its size. So far we've had nothing but good experiences with it, but it's a good idea to read all the reviews to see if your particular favorite food is something people have had trouble processing with this particular machine.
It seems that all food processors have their strengths and weaknesses. Our main purpose for the machine is processing veggies, and it's working just fine so far. And, its small enough to hide away when not in use.
Finally, the three cup bowl is great for doing small jobs. That was one of the reasons we chose this machine.
Great little food processor! September 7, 2006

This machine is beautiful in red, it looks great on my counter. The machine works perfectly, when I pulse it gently pulses the items slowly and gives me a perfect chop. I used this with mushrooms and onions and celery and each item was chopped to perfection as I orchestrated the pulses. Then I took some eggs and put them in with some chopped basil and hit the on button and voila beautiful whipped eggs. This is a great machine. I have even got perfectly ground almonds and graham cracker crumbs. Buy this beautiful little jewel. It works great and makes minimum noise.
A Terrific Food Processor (especially for homemade baby food) June 9, 2007

After researching food processors, I settled on the Kitchen Aid 7-cup Processor with 3-cup Mini Bowl. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is easy to make small batches of baby food in the 3-cup mini bowl and large batches in the 7-cup bowl; having the size option is terrific! The food processor does a great job pureeing meat, fruit and veggies, chopping garlic and herbs, making creamy hummus, etc. I use a stick blender for soups so I didn't need a large processor. The slicing/shredding disc works great for making hashbrowns, shredding cheese, slicing zucchini, etc.
The processor is easy to clean with all parts (besides the base & cord) being top-rack dishwasher safe, but I also find a baby bottle brush to be very useful when cleaning it by hand. It is surprisingly quiet when running. And, it is small enough to store either on the counter-top or in a cabinet. I would highly recommend this food processor.
Update (10/16/08): The white cap on the top of the work bowl's handle broke and flew off. This is the piece that acts as a safety feature, latching the lid to the bowl and allowing it to turn on. I called KitchenAid's customer service and since my 1-year warranty is up, it would cost me $39.99 + shipping to replace the work bowl. Looking at the piece that broke off, it seems to be a bad design and appears like it would happen again, so I will not spend the money. I am still able to operate it by holding the lid down and manually releasing the safety spring in the handle. Disappointing, but at least it still works for now.

This has to be the best food processor I have ever owned! Its multiple uses and abilities have come in very handy in my home - and it has already saved me hours in the kitchen! I highly recommend this model because of the two bowls - great for quantity and less rinsing during preparation. The "s" blades are of excellent quality, as is the cutting disc. I will never buy a different brand in food processors again! Kitchen Aid is truly the best!

This workhorse is perfect for our family. The large 7 cup bowl is good for so many uses, while the 3 cup mini bowl helps save some clean up time. It does leak a little on the side if you are dealing with liquids, but solid items stay in the big bowl.
Since the buttons are flush on the unit, it makes cleaning it a snap. A quick wipe and you are done.
As with any white plastic part, it will stain depending on what it comes in contact with. I've pureed red chilies in there so my blade handle has taken on a bit of a red hue. A little bleach and quick cleaning usually removes the color.
The blades that it comes with have been a life saver for shredding - I've shredding carrots for a carrot cake in no time flat without hurting my arms using the old box grater. I used to avoid making carrot cake for that reason, but now make it more often.
My mother used my processor and loved it - she requested it for Christmas! It just makes cooking easier.
