KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor

Comment: This processor has a bigger motor than many I've use without being bigger itself. It fits nicely in cupboard or countertop. It is very fast and does a pretty good job of slicing and dicing so you have fewer raggedy vegetables. The top piece fits on very easily.

Comment: bought this processor in september and with light use it is now useless in June. plastic pieces began breaking off the drive shaft and the handle broke apart making engagement of the processor impossible. fortunately it has a 1 year warranty. We will never buy this product again. also agree with the other review which states that the processor leaves chunks of the item to be shredded in the areas above the shredder. not good. consumer reports rated this processor highly so I am now highly skeptical of their processes for evaluation.

Comment: It DOES NOT hold 7 cups. Anything over about 2 and a half cups of liquid escapes around the blade. Solids collect under the ridged rim on the lid, making it MOST difficult to clean.

Comment: I have found this machine does everything I want it to do. I just wish I had known that it had a separate appliance to do small things like chopping up parsley or cilantro when I purchased it. I would have ordered that also. It's just great, even without that.

Comment: Buyers beware! This unit costs way too much considering how flimsy it is. My wife has used ours 10 or 12 times and already the handle on the container has failed. It doesn't take much to make it fail. She was trying to turn the container off the base and the handle fractured a small tab off. This jammed the safety mechanism inside the handle to the point it will no longer let the unit even turn on. We did NOT buy this from Amazon, but since we do make purchases here, I thought it best to let others know. We are going to buy the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC2011. It was rated #1 by [...].
