This is a very nice food processor. I bought it based on reviews of the more expensive models, and found it to be very good product. It has a very strong yet quiet motor that seems to handle jobs with ease. The 7 cup size is good for most typical food processing I do for my family of three. I can easily shred a full pound of cheese in the 7 cup bowl.

I was impressed with this product especially after seeing a new Black and Decker food processor that sounded like it was grinding rocks even with an empty bowl. This kitchen aid model appears to be very well built. It is definitely worth the $80.

The food processor comes with the base, 7 cup bowl, chopping blade, shredding/slicing blade, a "pole" for the shredding blade, and a spatula to help clean out the bowl.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Sorry to borrow the other reviewer's subject, but this is true feeling about it. I brought this processor one week ago. It runs very quiet. The 7-cup fits my small family very well, and it won't take up a lot of space. I actual keep it on my countertop all the time. The disc and the blade are sharp and work very well. The downside is this 7-cup model only comes with one 2-mm slicing disc/4-mm shredder disc that makes my food too thin. I decided to look for a 4-mm and a 6-mm slicing disc for my food processor. I even check the Kitchen Aid website, the bad news is they don't have any accessories for the 7-cup model besides those come with the food processor box. Then I thought maybe I could return my 7-cup to get a 12-cup. Well, they still don't have the 6-mm disc to fit the 12-cup. Most of extra accessories that they have just fit the 9-cup and 11-cup model. Ironically, they don't produce the 11-cup model any more. Kitchen Aid should really consider customer needs - for a small family, a 7-cup food processor should at least have the options to reach same capacity of the bigger models, like a dough blade, 4-mm slicing disc, 6-mm slicing disc etc.

I bought this processor because I have an 11 cup Cuisinart processor and I wanted something smaller. I couldn't believe how quiet the motor was. My Cuisinart is terribly loud! I thought - well, it probably doesn't do as good a job - but I was wrong. It works fantastic! The one problem I have with it is that when I was making a tomato sauce, the sauce went flying all over the kitchen!! For awhile I thought that I must have a defective one, but I've read other reviews regarding food processors that do the same thing.What's the deal with that?
I couldn't decide whether or not to return it and now it is too late. I'm still very happy with it ..... in the future, I'll just use a blender for my sauces. Hope this review was helpful

If you don't have a dishwasher, I don't recommend buying this food processor.

It's fast, quiet, powerful, and truly perfect in every way, so far as its operation is concerned. It makes perfect shredded vegetables, hummus, salsa, purees, ground nuts, etc. The motor is strong, the blades are sharp, and it looks great on the counter.

However, without the sanitizing environment of a dishwasher, you just can't clean the inside of the handle. There is enough space for moisture and tiny bits of food to run into the hollow handle, and no way to remove it for cleaning (I spoke with a Kitchenaid customer service rep, and she confirmed this). Within months of regular use, mold forms inside the handle. This is not exactly the sort of thing I want so close to my food. Also, the inside of the blade is too deep to be reached with a sponge in handwashing, so that gets a little suspect, too. I have tried pouring boiling water and bleach solution into the handle, but it is not clean. Cracking the handle off would break the mechanism that locks the workbowl to the food processor, and replacement bowls run about $35-40 dollars.

Long story short, if you have a dishwasher, you may be fine (unless solid bits get into the handle, which they can and do). If you're not bothered by proximity between fresh food and long-term food rot, then this is the food processor for you.

This food processor is well made with good materials. The motor runs smoothly and quietly. Food is pulverized quickly and uniformly. This food processor replaced a side-motor Hamilton Beach. That processor was very cheaply made and smelled like burning plastic every time I turned it on. The Kitchenaid far outperforms it. My only complaint with this model is that the lid and blade are a bit hard to clean because of various nooks and crannies.

If you are a single person and want something that works for most things and doesn't take up the space of the large food processor, than this is the one for you. It is quick and quiet. I have chopped fresh tomotoes for sauce and fresh basil for pesto and it just works great. It is easy to clean as well.

I love this food processor. I read reviews on less expensive models, and decided that it would be a waste of money to buy one of them instead. I have always been impressed with KitchenAid products, so I decided to buy this brand. The processor works quietly and efficiently. The size is perfect for my small family. I have put all of the removable parts in the dishwasher for cleaning, and have had absolutely no problem with them getting perfectly clean. If I had a complaint, it would be that there are only 2 speeds...."on" and "pulse". Overall, I am very satisfied. In fact, I just purchased a second one as a gift for my mother (who in the past had a larger Cuisinart brand, but said that she likes my KitchenAid just as well!)

I really like the way that this food processor performs. I thought when I took it out of the box that it would be a little difficult to work but it turns out that it is very easy to use.

It really saves me alot of time with my food preparation.

The only drawback is that when you chop vegetables it seems to make them too thin but I think with practice I will do better.

Overall I highly recommend this food processor.

Thank you

Not only does my processor chop difficult items (e.g. baking chocolate) with ease, but it is wonderfully easy to dismantle, clean and reassemble. It is also good looking on the counter, quieter than my previous machine and appears to have a more powerful motor.

I was looking for something that would be suitable for meals for two. This processor is perfect. It takes little space and is very quiet. I use it far more than I ever expected! Great value for the price!
