KitchenAid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor with 3-Cup Mini Bowl, Onyx Black

I was so excited to receive this food processor and begin using it. I was thrilled with how fast I could prepare vegetables, but I found the slicing disc to make extremely thin slices--only 2mm is not very thick! I decided to look into buying some additional discs which could cut thicker slices. However, I soon learned by going to kitchenaid's website, and by calling them directly, that there are NO additional discs or blades available for the 7-cup version besides those that come with it. So, if you think you might ever want to purchase some other blades or attachments (julienne cutter, thick slice disc, etc.) you'd better go with a bigger model.

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...Read more

This processor is quick, smooth, and NOT loud (my husband can sleep through the noise when I use it in the morning, unlike our previous Cuisinart.) And it does everything I need it to do. I'm very satisfied with the product, and definitely recommend.
