KitchenAid KFP740WH 9-Cup Food Processor, White

I decided to buy a new food processor when the bowl on my Cuisinart food processor broke and I found out how much a new one would cost. After reading reviews on various websites I purchased a Kitchenaid 740 processor. So far I have been very pleased. I love the small mini-bowl for chopping small portions and its ease of cleaning. The machine is quiet and has worked well. The reason I am rating it 4 instead or 5 stars is because of the the following issues: one is that the the slicing blade makes fairly thin slices, and two is that you cannot put more than inch of liquid in the bowl-- a problem if you are going to make soup.
These issues can be lived with and I am enjoying my processor.

I have had this since March and liked the look of the food processor. I chose the KA over Cuisinart b/c the KA looked more sturdy. The KA is very heavy, which is a good thing and the 9 cup is the perfect size. Not too big and not too small. It shreds an 8 oz block of cheese in 3 seconds. I have used it for shredding cheese, carrots, and grinding grahmn crackers, bread crumbs, and chicken. I haven't actually learned how to make it so the food processor doesn't completely pulverize the food to little pieces.

My mother bought me my first food processor some 20 years ago. When it finally gave up the ghost, I decided I needed to replace it. I spent some time reading the reviews of various models online and was impressed with the comments about the KitchenAid 9-cup processor. Since I have a KitchenAid power mixer, I am familiar with the quality and strength of this product. When Amazon.com offered me an unbeatable deal on the 9-cup processor, the choice became easy to make!

Am I ever glad I chose this model! It is stylish, powerful and operates quietly, purring like a kitten as it effortlessly shreds cheese, kneads biscuits or chops veggies. It cleans up like a dream, too! Just a quick swish in warm soapy water and it looks just like new. The outer housing wipes clean with a swish of a sponge. It looks great on my countertop and makes meal preparation a breeze! I recently prepared a favorite zucchini casserole. I was amazed when I sliced 8 zucchini (in perfect slices,...Read more
