Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The bowl on this food processor is an innovative, curved, watertight, 8-cup container that has no corners to trap food, eliminates leakage during preparation of liquid dishes, and, when not in use, conveniently stores metal accessories inside for convenience and safety. Adding to its versatility, Krups' OptiPro food processor includes a standard blade and two discs for slicing, chopping, shredding, grating, mixing, blending, or puréeing virtually any food, plus plastic dough blade and whipping disc. Optional attachments include a juice extractor and finer slicing and grating discs. Two speeds and the pulse button enable precise control of the powerful (400 watt) motor, which prepares 1.6 pounds of bread dough in 30 seconds or whips up to six eggs or 15 ounces of cream in less than three minutes--wonderful for preparing sauces, meringues, or mayonnaise. The instruction booklet includes many recipes in addition to detailed instructions. --Toni Reineke

5.0 out of 5 stars One appliance that will really make itself useful!, September 25, 2000

This review is from: Krups 705-70 OptiPro Food Processor (Kitchen)

This was purchased less than a month ago primarily for making baby food, but already I have used it for other things. Some of the reasons it was purchased instead of other brands are: most of the attachments store inside the bowl, Krups has a great reputation, and good experience with other Krups products. Compared to Cuisinart and Kitchen-Aid, it is a better bargain. Since I have begun to use it, I've found that cleaning up is very quick and easy, it is super-fast, and very thorough, and using it is almost fun. There are 2 speeds, and a pulse button. It isn't complicated to master. Not that we lead drab lives, but my husband actually has come into the kitchen when it's on to see it in action (this is our first processor). The results when it chopped nuts, pureed vegetables, and shredded cheese were very satisfactory. I purchased the optional juicer attachment, and loved the way it made orange juice. The recipe book that comes with it is rather short & simple, but I'm sure that we aren't going to run out of ways to use this handy appliance. I recommend it to anyone interested in purchasing a processor for family use (2 to 4 people). The bowl holds 8 cups, and it doesn't take up much counter space (the cord even stores out of sight underneath). I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this processor over a year ago from Amazon and still love it! It's mechanically simple to master and cleans up nicely - even in the dishwasher. Anyone who buys this won't regret it. The only problem I can forsee is ordering parts from Krups. Big pain in the neck because of the back order thing.

I bought this food processor solely based on the brand name reputation. And luckily I am not disappointed. I have used it twice so far - once to mash chick peas for falafel, and once to chop veggies, and the machine handled it very well.

The chopping was not a problem but I was afraid that the motor would not be able to handle the sticky chick peas. But it did thanks to its powerful electric motor.
