Precise Slice Food Processor, Onyx Black (Kitchen) I recently bought the KitchenAid KFP1333CU 13-cup food processor to replace a Cuisinart FP-14 14-cup model. The locking mechanism on the Cuisinart's work bowl cover had broken, but rather than replace the cover, which would have run about $50, I decided to swap the whole thing out for the KitchenAid because, frankly, I never much liked the Cuisinart. So what I want to do here is compare the two machines, highlighting the pros and cons of each.Both machines are about the same size and take up the same amount of counter space, the one-cup claimed difference in capacity notwithstanding. The KitchenAid, however, is considerably lighter than the Cuisinart -- almost flimsy by comparison. This of course makes it easier to lift and move the KitchenAid around, but try to finely chop chunks of hard cheese or knead bread dough and the machine rocks and vibrates violently.

Precise Slice Food Processor, Onyx Black (Kitchen) I just purchased this item through my employee purchase program. I work for kitchen aid in benton harbor MI, so I actually got to see this baby in the works before the even put it on the shelves! I finally saved up the money to purchase one for my self and I absolutely love it! You can truly slice even the softest fruits/vegetables with absolutely no problem or mess! It is amazing, I was slicing tomatoes on the thinnest setting and it worked beautifully....no mess, no tomato guts nothing! 31 of 35 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: KitchenAid 13-c. Precise Slice Food Processor, Contour Silver (Kitchen) I had my last KitchenAid food processor for 15 years, but I always wished I had one with a larger work bowl. I recently bought a KitchenAid's 13-cup food processor, and I just love it. I already have a KitchenAid dough stand mixer, so the small dough blade intended for just 2-3 cups of flour would be just perfect for a quick yeast dough mix. I like the product's color selection and the easy to use features. It's an easy transition from one KitchenAid food processor to the next, though with a few new bells and whistles. I find taking a few minutes to read the instruction booklet helps me understand better what each accessory can and is intended to do, so that I can keep this new baby for the next 15 years. |
