In brushed nickel with a lustrous metallic finish, this KitchenAid food processor is a standout in any kitchen. It has a die-cast metal base and comes with an ultra wide mouth feed tube (the industry's largest) that accommodates tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes with a minimum of sectioning or slicing, saving you time in the initial stages of preparation. A separate section lets you feed smaller items into the work bowl such as single carrots, celery, herbs and nuts. A feed tube pusher is also included. With the Pulse button, you can control the length of cutting or slicing process so those sliced tomatoes don't end up being a sauce instead. The food processor comes with three work bowls: a 12-cup bowl for large jobs, a 10-cup chef's bowl that fits inside the 12-cup work bowl (slice or shred items while keeping the larger work bowl clean for another job) and a 4-cup mini bowl with its own mini blade for smaller jobs like chopping herbs, mincing garlic or making bread crumbs. The food processor comes with a multi-purpose blade, slicing and shredding discs (2- and 4-mm slicing discs and 4-mm shredding disc), a blade for mixing and kneading bread and pizza dough, an egg whip for whipping cream and egg whites for meringues, mousses and souffles, a citrus press for juicing small limes and large grapefruits and an accessory case for storing all of the accessories along with a spatula and cleaning tool (also included). The ultra-durable, polycarbonate work bowls are built to last, are stain-resistant and dishwasher-safe. The blades, discs and accessories are also dishwasher-safe.

by Elizabeth (Klamath River, CA) 1 review I've had Cuisinart food processors for almost 30 years but in recent years, I've noticed a significant decline in their quality, particularly the workbowls and tops. I've had to replace them multiple times due to cracking and chipping of the plastic locks. This time, I decided to try a KitchenAid food processor after reading reviews of them in Cooks' Illustrated and Fine Cooking. I'm so glad I did!! The KitchenAid has much higher quality bowls and parts with thicker and heavier plastic. I also like the 3 different bowls for small tasks, shredding, and full-on processing. The small bowl eliminates the need for one of those mini processors.
I have not tried the cream whipping attachment but did have an opportunity to use the citrus press. It works acceptably but not quite as well as a dedicated citrus juicer. If you want to save cabinet/counter space and not buy a separate appliance, the juicer attachment works well but if you already have a juicer, you'll probably prefer it to the attachment.
I very much recommend the KitchenAid over the Cuisinart!
by Joyce (LANTANA, FL) 1 review Fantanstic Machine and very quiet. I just purchased another machine by cuisinart, it was noisy and to small for my needs.
by Thomas (VINTON, IA) 6 reviews Like all KitchenAid products that have graced my kitchen, the 12-c. Ultra Wide Mouth Food Processor is no exception. I wouldn't cook without it. It is high quality, well designed and customer service is without equal.
Would purchase again
