KitchenAid KFPW760OB

Although a little on the heavy side, it is due to the large motor, which operated rather silentlycompared to some other machines which are noisy because of a big motor. I like the juicer accessory as I can get my daily dose of juice, without having to buy a separate machine.


Faster
With KitchenAid, I can make my own potato chips, fast, healthier and the slicing ability is amazing- it slices an average of 6 potatoes in a minute. If grating is a chore to you, then this baby will fix your fear in no time as it grates with virtually no mess and very minimal bruising. While some machines have the tendency to turn shreds of vegetable into mush instead, KitchenAid deftly produces what you expect shreds to be.
To get kids to consume their vegetables, it is advisable to chop them into small pieces so it remains less noticeable, but chopping vegetables takes time and can be quite messy. Using this machine, the vegetables get chopped fast, yet maintaining its freshness.
Great Customer Service
In finding more information about this device, I listened to people and read reviews and one striking criteria was KitchenAid’s after sales service, which had many people raving good reviews. One customer said her husband “wrecked” the slicing disks but KitchenAid replaced it free, no questions asked while another said she got a machine from someone else, which was missing the bowl and the cord frayed. The company actually sent someone over with brand new replacements! Talk about efficient customer service.
Small downside to this fantastic product is the accessories packaging and the use of the smaller work bowls with the work blades provided, as it would be nice to use the bowls with a slicer or grater blade as well.

KitchenAid KFC3100 Chef Series Food Chopper

The reverse spiral action of the blade produces uniformed sized meats, nuts, vegetables, fruits or whatever ingredient put in. The separation of the compartments into a wet and dry section where you add in flavorings while processing something is a nice touch. 

The electronic pulse pad enables you to control the speed and intensity of the processor’s action; meaning you can determine the size, texture of the ingredient being processed.
Being in the class of compact food processors, this one has a cord storage base, and does not require much counter space. Safety is taken into consideration as the blades won’t function until the lid is in place and locked.

Pitting KitchenAid KFC3100WH against the Cuisinart DLC2, however it did not seem to measure up to the latter. Both machines produced rather equal results in chopping things like onions, nuts or breadcrumbs. Apparently Cuisinart chops onions better but it could be due to how one does it. KitchenAid would produce chopped onions with fewer pulses and minced onions with more pulses.

With making spreads, pates, or purees, Cuisinart pulls the ingredients down the center and into the blade quicker than KitchenAid, which had larger chunks remaining on top. In terms of accessibility, you must turn the KitchenAid’s blade numerous times before it drops in, while Cuisinart’s drops on easily.

You need to remove the lid before you can lift of the bowl on KitchenAid while Cuisinart’s bowl and lid detaches like an assembly. You can remove the blade of Cuisinart’s processor without touching the food, with the extended handle of the blade.

Compared to Cuisinart, KitchenAid looks lost in the processing softer food category, but it excels in producing other things, and is perfect for small portions and I would recommend it if you rarely want to make soft food, and you are looking for something storage and cost effective. It could get a little noisy during operations though, but a small glitch in a machine that helps a lot is forgivable.

 

KitchenAid KFP750 – Best Food Processor

This KitchenAid KFP750 12-Cup Food Processor has a powerful yet very quiet motor and very well built design overall. This is definitely the best food processor you can get. Well, I understand why this food processor has received 5 stars rating in consumer report and cook illustrated – personally, I think this is among the best food processors I have tested so far.

KitchenAid KFP750WH 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor

Great Motor And Large Bowl
It has a very powerful and quiet motor. A 12 cup work bowl is about the largest you can get in this class of food processors. With 700 W powered motor, it is surprisingly quiet – maybe it’s because of the durable sealed housing too.
Good Cutting Design
With a variety of cutting blades (slicing, grating, chopping etc), it’s so handy. Based on my testing result, the chopping and slicing is very even and consistent with no motor trouble at all. This machine is definitely very efficient in performing delicate (such as shredding vegetable leaves) or harder (like chopping nuts) tasks.
As you know this machine comes with 2 bowls for your convenience. However, other users stated that there is a leakage from the mini-bowl when you try to put it into the big bowl.
Anyway, I think this minor issue shouldn’t discourage anyone from buying this machine.
Another obvious grouse would be the bulk of this machine, although it’s due to the high powered motor. There is a danger of over processing some mixtures as the blade does not stop at the same time when the “stop” button is pressed, hence the timing may be a bit out. If you think this fault affects the result, then you can learn to improvise by processing at more intervals with shorter pulses.
Best Food Processor
Personally, I think this is a great machine! When choosing a best food processor, I value the importance of its motor and the cutting design. I will check whether the motor is durable and powerful enough to handle tough jobs. And most importantly, it has to cut or chop things evenly. Eventually, this is the main reason why we buy a food processor in the first place. Well, I do like a storage box for the additional components which are dishwasher safe. In fact, everything must be easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
Anyway, if you are thinking about getting this KitchenAid food processor, it comes with 1 year warranty, weighs 24 lbs and 15 1/8 inches and available in empire red, white and Onyx black colors in Amazon.
I cook a lot and I really like this powerful, quiet and well designed KitchenAid food processor! For anyone looking for a food processor, this one definitely should be right on top of the list!
