An Expensive Disappointment
By a reader
I purchased this model closely two years ago, as a alternate for a much-loved feed processor that had been discontinued. Here’s why I don’t like this one:
1) One of my main criteria when I was buying goods for it was that my new feed processor will have to have a big capacity. This one was advertised as having a big capacity. But the stem in the middle of the bowl is very short, so you can’t actually put much feed into it, specially if the feed is liquidy.
2) They publicize having one of the widest mouthed feed tubes. But what they don’t tell you is that the “maximum fill line” on the feed tube is very low. So you actually can’t pack all *that* much feed into the feed tube.
3) The ad said it had an attachment called “juicer.” I thought that this meant that I could use it to, say, juice carrots, like the way my local feed co-op has a juice bar where you may buy things like carrot-beet-celery juice. But no, genuinely the “juicer” is an attachment where you push down on an orange over a dome and the juice comes down the sides, through holes, and into the body of the feed processor. It’s basically like an usual “Mexican hat shaped” manual juicer except that you use the feed processor to turn the middle (I guess that’s how it goes — I’ve never used this attachment) and then the bowl collects the juice. When I made my final decision amid the last two feed processors that I was looking at, I chose this one because it said “juicer.” So this was a disappointment and made me feel that I’d been snared by bogus ad hype. Interesting… I see they are now saying “citrus press” rather of “juicer” for this attachment. I think that is much more honest.
4) It’s not good with little quantities. My old feed processor could chop a clove of garlic. My KitchenAid just bounces the clove of garlic around, uncut.
5) Food often will “slalom” amongst the lower and upper blade without ever getting chopped. I’ve made hummus, let the machine run for a while, served it, and then found whole garlic cloves in the middle of the hummus, altogether uncut. My old feed processor never did that.
6) Flimsy spatula.
7) The rim of the lid fits on the *outside* of the bowl. So if you blend anything liquidy, it’s beauteous much guaranteed to be disseminate all over the outside of the feed processor. And the counter underneath. On my old feed processor, the lid fit *inside* the bowl, which was a zillion times better at keeping drips contained, mess-free.
When I want to take off the bowl with the blade inside, the blade is always “locked” to the middle stem, which keeps the bowl from coming out unless I reach in and disconnect the blade. This is easy to do, but it’s annoying, exceptionally when the blade is covered in food.
9) The pusher that you use to push feed through the feed tube has two elements to it. They often unlock from each other while I’m in the middle of using them to push feed into the feed processor. This seems mildly dangerous.
10) When I purchased it, I loved the idea of having multiple bowls, so that I could chop one thing, then switch bowls and chop something else. However, to use a littler bowl you need to put the littler bowl inside the more prominent bowl and then run the feed processor with both bowls attached. Unfortunately, the few times I’ve tried this, feed from the littler bowl has gotten onto the more prominent bowl, making it dirty sufficient that it necessitated washing too, with no time saved.
The one thing that I *do* particularly like regarding the KitchenAid more than my old feed processor is that it is base is very well-sealed, so it is easy to wipe spills off it.
You wanted to listen all of that. Right?

An update: Soon after I wrote this review, the feed processor self-destructed. One of the metal blades ripped off of the shaft while I was using it. And then a piece of the latch broke off the lid in a way that sealed the lid and bowl permanently shut and permanently attached to the base. I was in truth happy, because it gave me a prospect to buy a new feed processor. I got a Braun CombiMax and am delighted with it. Here is a link to it: Braun CombiMax K-650 Food Processor, Braun K650 replaces the K600 The CombiMax has a much more spectacular usable capacity than my old KitchenAid did, plus numerous nifty features that I haven’t seen on any other feed processor, such as a sealed bowl — which means that liquid can’t run out through the stem, so you may fill it *much* more full than other feed processors.

Wow!
By Jennifer
I received the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus feed processor for Christmas. After doing a lot of exploration online, I decisive to send it back and buy a Kitchenaid instead. Although I have never dealt with Cuisinart client service, I read multiple negative reviews when it comes to them on multiple web sites. This reason, along with the fact that I have a Kitchenaid mixer (which I love) was sufficient reason to trade my Christmas present in.
I decisive to buy the Kitchenaid Food Processor 750. However, Amazon.com sent me the 760 model. Maybe they were out of the 750…or perhaps I lucked out through a computer glitch. Either way, I’m thrilled with my 760. I highly commend you spend the extra 20-30$ for the 760 which has a few more attachments, including the juicer.
I have never applied a feed processor before, always relying on my handy Kitchenaid mixer. Today I applied my processor for the initial time to make a quick loaf of Banana Macadamia Nut Bread (a recipe included with the processor.) It was so easy to use, the directions were very user-friendly. As a side note, the bread was finelooking tasty as well.
The Processor feels a little heavier than I expected, but I guess since it has a more spectacular motor that is to be expected. It felt very sturdy as it was mixing up my bread, and the motor hummed along reasonably quietly. I am amazed at how quickly and expertly it sliced up the bananas! I can’t wait to undertake it out with other recipes.
My parents have a Kitchenaid mixer that I do not forget using when I was growing up, so it is a good 20+ years old. It still runs like it is brand new. If this is indicatory of Kitchenaid products, I suppose my feed processor will be in the family for galore years to come!
As a side note: A friend of mine lives on Kodiak, a huge Island in Alaska. She inherited a Kitchenaid mixer from a friend which was missing the bowl, and the cord had been frayed. She contacted Kitchenaid in hopes of fixing it. Kitchenaid sent a fix man to the Island to fix it for her along with a alternate bowl at no cost to her. If this isn’t quality client service, I don’t recognise what is!!

Best thing I ever did!
By Victoria
I in truth hate to say anything with regards to Wolfgang Puck because it is wholly not his fault, but I ordered his in truth beauteous feed processor from HSN, TWICE! Both times it was used, with debris left on the blades!
So, I decisive to order the KitchenAid 760 B and it is closely silent, chops, shreds, purify’s, and pulverizes anything you put in it. The extra wide mouth on the feed shoot is splendid for potatoes, zucchini, and big vegetables. So far, not one thing I employed in it slowed the motor down.
The use is simple and easy to put together and it cleans up beautifully with everything encased, leaving not one thing open for feed to get stuck. One spot may be the spindle which turns the blades, but it wipes out very easily.
The affixations which come with it along with the blades provided are sufficient to do anything you need. I’ve made bread dough, and being a vegetarian, employed it to chop each manner of vegetable, effortlessly. Worth each dime, dollar, hundred dollar, two hundred dollars!
