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 Dennis (Poulsbo, WA) 1 review Our purchase of this Kitchenaid processor was a success. We now have used the unit for almost a month. The unit when running is smooth in operation and quiet, which was one of our goals and it has plenty of power for all the tasks we have tested. There were lots of comments on weight in the reviews. It is heavy, but not unreasonably so. It does not move when you place it on the counter top. We carry it back and forth to its storage shelf between uses. I would buy it again. Quality equipment and a high but reasonable price.
by Erin (Pismo Beach, CA) 2 reviews I love this food processor. I have been a life-long Cuisinart user but got tired of broken bowls and faulty switches. I hope this one holds up better, but so far so good. I love the 3 sizes of bowls and the super-speedy juicer. I see why it was rated #1 by Cooks Illustrated.
by Melaine (Corrigan, TX) 1 review I WAS GREATLY SURPRISED AT HOW QUIET THE OPERATION IS IN COMPARISON TO THE PREVIOUS PROCESSOR I HAD...SO GLAD THE OLD ONE BROKE...I DID NOT REALIZE HOW OFTEN I USED A FOOD PROCESSOR UNTIL IT BROKE...LOVE MY NEW ONE.
by Lucy (Powder Springs, GA) 1 review The product shipped in record time. I received it within a few of days!
It's operation is simple and very quiet. Cleaning the components after use is easy - simply put in your dishwasher; they will emerge clean and dry! I previously owned another brand of food processor and it was a challenge to clean. This one is all I expected and more!!!
The only negative would be the weight of the base - it must remain on my countertop as I use this product fairly regularly.
by Paula (Cary, NC) 2 reviews I have enjoyed my new food processor. It is easy to use, has multiple features, and a quality appliance. Exactly what I expect from the KitchenAid brand.
