Works very well
By D. Wolf
After years of not having a feed processor, ultimately broke down and purchased this one. I’d made do with a stand mixer, blender, mortar and pestle, and knives. Not sure why I waited so long to buy one, but am very glad I did.
The 750 works as advertised. It has a powerful motor, the respective cutting blades carry out well.
The reasons for giving the product 4 stars rather of 5 are:
1. The lid does not seal very tightly so when processing liquids, there’s a reasonable amount of leakage.
2. The mini-bowl is very handy and handles little amounts better than if they were put in the more prominent bowl; but, there is many times a good deal of leakage into the main bowl.
These are minor issues and shouldn’t admonish any individual from buying this machine. However, the new 760 model seems to have some more features for just a little bit more money. Before buying the 750, you must check to see if the 760 better meets what you need.

Great product with severe liquid limitations which make it a 4 cup feed processor.
By FMG
This is a wondeerful feed processor with a powerful and quiet motor. There is one odd feature that is not very distinctly cited regarding the amount of fixed liquid this unit may handle and ought to be well understood before one buys this device. First you will not be capable to put much more than 2 inches of fluid, 4 cups(32 ounces)due to the short center shaft which is only 2 inches that holds the blade in the main cavity. This is a design limitation that could have been win a victory over with simple mechanical engineering by using the full height of the cavity which is 5 inches. Instead of using a longer center shaft designed to slide the little work bowl on,the Kitchenaid engineers applied a short 2 inch shaft. This in turn severly limits the height of liquid in the main mixing cavity to 2 inches(4 cups), because liquid leaks out of the main cavity over the short 2 inch center shaft that holds the processor blade. Unfortunately, this basically makes the 12 cup a 4 cup feed processor for items with fluids envolved. This equates to a 67 percent capacity redution. There are other models out there that win a victory over this limitation by using a center shaft that has a height that is equivalent or slighty less than to the cavity height. Why Kitchenaid made this poor engineering decision is realy one of those technology mysteries. Since everything else on this machine is highly engineered. Some things merely just don’t make any sense and this most surely is one of them.
Hopefully, Kitchenaid will redesign the main cavity with a taller center shaft and eliminate this severe liquid limitation.

Wonderful machine
By Renee Gleason
A more precise rating for this feed processor, in my opinion, would be 4 and a half stars. It is genuinely a outstanding machine. Sadly, this is my third feed processor in 4 years, as I had two horrid experiences with other brands, before I at long last bit the bullet and expended the cash on this one. I wish I had done that in the firstborn place! I have applied this processor for various apps and so far I am VERY pleased. It shreds cheese like a pro, chops veggies with ease, pulverizes nuts, is adept at making batters and doughs etc. It is a very powerful machine and may handle just in regards to any task you throw at it. The littler mixing bowl and blade attachment is very handy, too, and a welcome addition for those littler jobs. Nobody likes having to wash a big bulky bowl for a little task like chopping a couple tablespoons of parsley. And I love the accessaries case it comes with! Everything is neatly stored in one (somewhat) compact case for easy retrieval. The only downfalls to this machine (and why I felt I had to give it one less star) are the following:
1)It’s gigantic size. This may be a non-issue for some people, but I have an older kitchen with lower cabinets. The machine is way too tall to fit under my cabinets. And even if it could fit, it’s sheer bulk would probably prevent me from keeping it on the counter because it takes up very valuable counter space, another thing at a premium in my smaller, older kitchen. I am consequently forced to store mine in a cabinet, which takes away a good deal of of it is convenience. Having to lug it out is not always a welcome chore.
2)As far as performance, my only complaint so far is that there is a substantial delay when you stop the machine and when the actual blade stops rotating. This is an issue when making delicate pie doughs for example, because it makes it much more comfortable to overprocess the dough, therefore compromising it is quality. I am attempting to learn to remunerate for this when processing pie dough, pulsing it less times than I commonly would. But,the performance of this machine would be perfective if only the blade stopped rotating the second you turned it off.
Other than that, I whole-heartedly commend this product to anybody in the market for a feed processor. It’s extra roomy size (though a pain physically) is a terrifi feature when preparing more prominent batches of things. And at a lower price than before, this machine is a steal.
Editted to add (7/24/11): I have had this machine for various years now. I use it all the time and I love it. I have since moved to a dissimilar house and the size is no longer an issue for me. However, one other issue has creeped up and that’s the cleanability. There are elements of the lid that are very difficult to clean with crevices and cracks that are nearly out of the question to reach. So I have numerous build up in areas and I can’t seem to get them clean. So a 4 star rating is still suitable IMO.
