The exclusive Exact Slice System allows you to slice from thick to thin with one slide of the lever. It stands out in its league when it comes to quality and product design. It is definitely the best choice for most home cooks.
- With its simple, pared-down design, it’s easier to use and clean than other models with more complicated settings or multiple bowls
- It is way more durable than other processors at this price range.
- The cup bowl is better than smaller versions for blending wet ingredients and processing big batches of shredded slaws and grated cheese.
It even makes dough at par with or better than that of models with specific dough speed.
- It chops vegetables and herbs evenly (without pulverizing them), grates veggies and cheese uniformly, slices cleanly, and finely grinds bread crumbs, nuts, and other dry ingredients.
- These sort of state-of-the-art machines are most useful for small jobs, such as chopping up one onion, making a curry paste, preparing salad dressing, or a doing small batch of pesto.

Conclusion
The Kitchenaid Food Processor and KitchenAid food processor attachment- does everything that a great food processor should do without any unnecessary extras that would boost its price. It’s simply designed and it works as well as or better than machines with multiple bowls and more attachments.
It comes with just the right number of blades and disks, as all of them will stow inside the mixing bowl, so you won’t need to store a big box of attachments. The simply designed base and jar were also easier to clean than most of the competition.
KitchenAid’s food processor attachment allows you to shred, slice, julienne, and dice fruits, cheese, vegetables, and meats in seconds! It comes along with a slicing disk, a reversible shredding disk, a julienne disc, and a dicer kit.
- Flaws but not spoilers – At first this food processor seemed a little puny next to the other models, which boasted nesting bowls, taller bases, and big boxes of attachments. But after two days of testing, its simplicity won us over.
- Like any other product, this one has its fair share of disadvantages but its minor limitations didn’t negatively affect its performance. It chops vegetables, grind bread crumbs, and shreds soft mozzarella just as skillfully as the other and more expensive models do, and it takes up less counter space.
- With some careful layering, you can store all of the blades and disks in its work bowl with the lid on, which saves a bit of storage space (and keeps you from gouging a hand on a loose blade in a drawer).
Overall, a great product and a one stop solution for all your kitchen needs. We are definitely impressed with KitchenAid Food Processor and KitchenAid Food attachment and would recommend a strong go ahead.
