KitchenAid KFP1318CU 13-Cup Food Processor

I have been looking for a food processor that was easy to use and easy to clean. I also wanted something that does not take up too much counter space because I use it everyday. I have had it since Christmas and so far, the Kitchenaid is a tough machine that is easy to clean, assembles easily, and does a great job with whatever I make. The one exception is the dough paddle. It does not do well making pie crust or dough. Just use the regular blade. That works best.

great product for a reasonable price. I replaces a Cuisinart 9 cup processor that had the activation rocker break off making it inoperable. The kitchen aid seems to be better built and attachments seem rugged. Most importantly the processor works great. The blades are very sharp its easy to assemble and the storage compartment feature keeps all the attachments in one place.

Had to replace my worn out Cuisinart. Much lighter, plenty of power, love the storage feature. Some of the part seem too lightweight to last very long. Like the way the lid works. Wish it didn’t require so many parts to use the basic blade. No pour spout is a downside as was the stem falling out as I was emptying the bowl. For the price it needs some tweaks.

I bought this to replace my 20 year old Kitchenaid food processor because it was great and I figured I’d stick with the same brand. Upon initial unboxing I liked the storage and compact design. The plastic seemed a little chintzy but so many things are these days. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to use it and see how well it worked. The first thing I tried was breadcrumbs, great worked fine. Lots of power. The second thing I tried was shredding some Colby jack cheese. The feed tube is kind of short so the block had to be cut into quarters but fine. I was processing the third chunk of cheese on low and heard a cracking sound. Turned the machine off, inspected the machine and found chips out of the lid. I was able to recover one of the chips of plastic. I should have took listened to the negative reviews. I was going to give it 2 stars just because the design is smart but I cannot recommend this machine at all.

I had an old (25 yr) Cuisinart food processor that finally died, so I bought this KitchenAid based on reviews and price point. I use it very regularly and am so glad that I bought this model. With all of the attachments fitting inside of the bowl, this doesn't take up too much space. It also makes finding the different blades and attachments. This food processor is plenty powerful enough for anything that I've processed. It shreds vegetables and cheese with ease, and the blade is great for chopping food and/or mixing. The noise level is low. I've had blenders that probably were 80+ dB, but this does not get anywhere near that loud. I don't feel like I'm interrupting anything when I use the food processor. I also have been able to hold normal conversations while running it. I'm hoping this will last another 25 years, and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy processor.
