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.
