KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor - KFP1318

great product for a reasonable price. I replaces a Cuisinart 9 cup processor that had the activation rocker break off making it inoperable. The kitchen aid seems to be better built and attachments seem rugged. Most importantly the processor works great. The blades are very sharp its easy to assemble and the storage compartment feature keeps all the attachments in one place.

Pros: Simple On/Off toggle switches, smooth bowl interior that’s easy to get all food out with spatula, all attachments stack inside for storage. Cons: pusher (?) is shaped so that it can fit in chute only one way - not convenient when your quickly inserting food into chute to shred and you grab pusher the wrong way. Pusher comes in 2 parts, including one that fits in center hole for carrots. If blending liquid, you need both parts to prevent splashing up. Would be nice to have additional piece of one solid pusher that can double as measuring cup. The last thing is when you open the hinged lid, the pusher easily falls out of the shoot. The first time I went to use this food processor, I almost broke the pusher twice.

Love this!!! Chops like a dream! Blended a whole bag of garlic and then made hummus in this! Works like a dream!

Great product. I did have a struggle using the shredder blade the first time. Hopefully, next time it will be easier. The zucchini kept falling down onto the blade instead of being cut.

Forget Marty McFly, this is a dream machine. Easy to clean, easy to lift lid off for access to empty or clean, consistent chop size, or mince size instead of variable chunk sizes, easy compact storage. Fast, strong. Can replace a husband in my book. Lol. I feel really spoiled with this machine. (I am pretty sure the color red I chose makes it go even faster)… lol. Anyway, good investment.

So I got this for my wife to replace her 20 year old kitchenaid food processor. This new one has several advantages over the old one. 1. The motor noise is much lower, It's pretty quiet compared to the old one and just seems quiet in general. We'll see if that holds up longer term but I was impressed by the sound level. 2. The blade storage system is really nice. The old unit just didn't have a way to easily stack the blades and accessories inside the bowl. The jumble of parts made cut fingers a risk so we just didn't do it. The main blades stayed in but the rest of the parts were stored somewhere else. 3. Power seems really good. My wife has done some bread dough and a few other things so far and she's commented several times on how well it worked. 4. The bowl just lifts off. compared to the old one with it rotate and lift setup its just a little more convenient and easier to use. Only thing to get used to is the latching and safety systems. They're not bad but the lid has to be FIRMLY latched down to energize the unit. She had a couple of times where the lid was down and the rubber seal engaged but it wasn't down that last 2-3 millimeters to the latch was fully caught and the unit wasn't running. She asked me to look at it and for a minute I thought the breaker had tripped before I figured out the latch wasn't down 100%. Not a huge deal and once you figure it out you know to double check it but it's something to be aware of. In our case the problem was made worse because the power cord for the coffee machine on the other side of the kitchen island had gotten a little loose and the coffee maker wouldn't turn on. So initially it seemed like the power to the island was out all the way.

My older model broke and while I don't use a food processor all that often, the times I do make it worth it to have one and I'd prefer a decent model over some cheap version that won't perform. My older model was a 13 cup bowl that actually had several bowls nested inside so you could either do the whole 13 cups or size down. These new configurations just have the one bowl. The older models had a box for the accessories; this one has everything stored on board. And that's nice for storage, but it is like a puzzle putting it all back together. They do give you several diagrams showing you how to put it all back, but it is slightly tricky at first. Instead of sliding around to come on and off, the cover pops open and can be taken off the base by pulling on the hinge side. I've used it twice so far, once to pulverize cookies to use as a pie crust and another time to chop roasted vegetables to make salsa. Both turned out great. The pulse is nice and steady and did both jobs equally well. There was no leakage and I think part of that is due to the new design where the bowl snaps down into place rather than sliding back and forth to lock. Also, the new "nut" in the middle of the bowl to hold the chopping blades is sealed so it would be harder for liquids to get inside and eventually leak out. I wasn't unhappy with the older model but this is a nice upgrade. Most of the parts go in the dishwasher but you wash the blades by hand (as always). Takes up vertical space in the cupboard but since all the accessories are on board, you're only taking up that space.

Considerando che vendono su Amazon Italia, dovrebbero specificare meglio che si tratta di un elettrodomestico che funziona con voltaggio a 110 volt. Il prodotto è arrivato con un convertitore di corrente che non funziona e mi ha quasi bruciato la resistenza della macchina. Ho dovuto spendere altri 100 euro per comprarne uno che funzionasse e poter usare il prodotto. Detto questo il prodotto funziona ed è di ottima qualità

Ce robot culinaire est parfait pour mes besoins. Le moteur a un “beau son” , il a 3 puissances, et le récipient est parfait pour faire mes bouilles d’énergies, ou simplement hacher en quantité. Il se range bien dans ma cuisine compte tenu de l’espace un peu restreint. Il n’est pas surdimensionné. Excellent achat !!

Puedes ajustarle el grosor de los cuadrito y pícaros finos o gruesos :D también se pueden hacer papas fritas.

Excelente producto

Completely satisfied. Arrived on time. Extremely easy to assemble. I love the fact that the attachments are stored inside the unit, very unique. Easy to operate. The buttons light up when in use. 4 blades, yes please!!!!WOW!!! Life is so much easier from making muffins, to chopping onions and peppers for freezing, to whisking eggs for egg tartes. Operational and storage lid, two lids!!! genius! Cleans up so easy too. Lots more fun things to make. If I could, I would give this product a 10!
