Good machine, real workhorse
By chefsallycam
Thought I would write a review as I have been using this new KitchenAid Pro Line food processor for 2 months now. It's a very good machine, a real workhorse. I am a professional chef, recipe developer and food blogger so it gets a lot of use.
Here is my experience. I use it mostly for the ability to puree and mix. Hummus, pesto, marinara, dips, soups. Just used the slicing blade to slice through a cabbage for slaw and tacos in seconds flat. Good power. And a nice feature, smart design, is that you can adjust the thinness or thickness of what you are slicing on the outside with a little lever. Very helpful. And the ultra-wide tube design is great for slicing whole and larger items.
After using food processors with push buttons for decades, it took me awhile to get used to the dial design on this machine. I did not like it at first, but I am used to it now and it's fine. You get both pulse and steady on, and the ability to control the speed as well, slow to fast. I usually leave it on fast.
The appliance garage is really large, which could be a challenge for people in very small kitchens or apartments. You would have to be creative about storing your accessories, maybe in a drawer without the garage. I put mine in one of my pantries with drawers that roll out and it's nice. All accessories are organized, protected, and in one place (and the Breville offers that too, and not quite as large).
I need to order the Parmesan blade today. Smart idea, but extra cost as mine did not come with it. On the Cuisinart, the grating blades have finger holes to handle the blades. Problem is, you don't get a uniform grate. You get chunks of cheese mixed in with fine grate, a huge detractor in my book. Drove me nuts when I tried that machine. I took it back.The KA has the same finger-hole design, but they have solved the issue with a special blade.
All parts are dishwasher safe on the KA Pro Line, although I prefer to wash my blades by hand. The lid fits nice and tight with a good seal and is easy to put on and take off. I like that the workbowl is clear and not tinted gray so you can see better. The steel knife blade fits in snugly. You push it down and it locks in, nice when you are done processing and want to pour out the workbowl. The knife doesn't fall out. I also have the Breville and that blade wobbles. Doesn't fit as snug, and sometimes I get extra liquid in the bottom of the workbowl that does not mix in. Its sort of under the blade, which bugs me. Seems that all ingredients should mix in consistently. Having said that, I still really like the Breville. Good FP and more affordable for most folks.
The smaller inner workbowl and smaller blade is nice for small jobs. I did a small batch of pesto with it this weekend.
If you are new to using a food processor, the amount of parts and accessories might seem overwhelming at first, but this is not just a basic food processor. It's got greater capabilities for people who really love to cook and create a wide range of foods.
One last thing...for those of you who are cracking your workbowls, I can't imagine what you are doing! I've used a food processor for 30 years and have never cracked a single workbowl.
Hope this helps!

I give this one ten stars!
By Barbara S. Pearlman
This is my shiny new sports car; my new candy-apple red dicing food processor from Kitchen Aid. I already have a Cuisinart Elite and I certainly do not need another food processor. However some things sold me on this right away. This machine is beautiful, a companion to my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and the final step in my kitchen redecoration. Kitchen Aid has a five year guarantee on this machine and Williams-Sonoma, a 90 day return policy. So I could put my new toy through its paces and make my decision. In this review I will be making some comparisons between the Elite and the Kitchen Aid Pro-line dicing food processor.
I have had many food processors. I had my first Cuisinart for over 20 years, when the stem broke. I decided to jump ship and went another brand. I had a bad experience with that processor (now discontinued), and swapped it for the Cuisinart Elite 16 Cup, from Williams-Sonoma. I had the Cuisinart for about three years now but I had to try the new Kitchen Aid. It was love at first bite. Williams-Sonoma has a 90 day exchange policy if you are unhappy with the item for any reason and Kitchen Aid has a five year guarantee on this product. So I can have a “trial marriage” to see if I am happy with this product.
I was marginally satisfied with the Cuisinart but was frustrated with the way small particles of food kept getting stuck in the seal in the lid. I felt that there was too much waste in chunks of food that did not get processed properly. I was ready for a “trial marriage” to the Kitchen Aid.
Out of the box, this looks great in my kitchen. The KA pro line dicing food processor is much snazzier than any other food processor. Even though it is large, it is very attractive. The tool kit that comes with this machine is huge and will not fit in any of my lower cupboards. I will keep it on the counter next to this workhorse.
Over the past two months I put the machine through its paces. I have thin-sliced cabbage for Cole slaw, and shredded carrots for same. I thick sliced onion for Krepluch (a Jewish ravioli) filling then after I sautéed it, ground it up with meat in the food processor. It went thought all of these tasks like a trooper. It did a better and faster job of slicing the cabbage and onion than my old Cuisinart and there were fewer unsliced chunks.
The bowls and blades, like the Cuisinart, take up the whole top shelf of my dishwasher. The case has holder for any two extra discs (Parmesan, Julianne or French-fry) and an egg whipper. Cuisinart does not make these accessories for the Elite 16 but they do for the Elite 14.
I used it to grind wafers and added ingredients for a crust for an ice cream cake. I love the fact that I do not need to measure the finished product because there are clear makings on all three of the food processor bowls. It does a great job chopping food either fine or coarse.
On my Cuisinart, food was constantly getting stuck in the lid because of the rubber seal. Not so with the KA. This is a different design and is much easier to clean. No rubber seal on the lid and no stuck food. You start by processing dry ingredients and when you get to the wet ingredients, you simply wipe out the bowl between ingredients.
I used the dicing disk for a relish salad. I diced cucumber and radish. The dice was beautiful. I expected a small amount of waste. I use the plastic pusher that comes with the dicing disk and then I use a small skewer to push out the food scraps that we not removed. This is a very small dice but it is perfect for soup and salads and potatoes
I made noodle dough using the large bowl and the large chopping blade. I have made this dough by hand in the past, as well with a stand mixer and the Cuisinart food processor. This is by far the best and the fastest method for processing this dough. The dough was beautifully supple and easy to roll out.
I had to grind about six pounds of potatoes for potato pancakes during a Chanukah party. Every other processor I have left huge chunks of potato in the mixture. Not so, the Kitchen Aid. It did a great job in a very small amount of time. There were no chunks.
I have made several batches of cookie and brownie dough in this food processor. It works faster than my stand mixer and the results are just as good. And clean up is easier.
In about six weeks of use, I had one problem with this machine. I was doing a simple procedure (mixing cookie dough) when the machine would not run after I replaced the lid. I finished the cookies by hand and washed the bowls in the dishwasher. After the bowls were clean, the machine ran without a flaw and I have had no further problems. I contacted both Kitchen Aid and Williams-Sonoma about this problem. The customer advocates in both places felt that maybe I did not have the lid on tightly enough. However, both suggested that I exchange this machine for a brand new machine. I continued to use the “old machine” almost daily for three weeks since this happened without further problem. My replacement machine arrived last week and I exchanged one for the other but I am satisfied that the problem will not repeat itself.
I had a dinner party for over 20 people and this machine was great. I got lots of compliments on it and used it in front of my guests while I was preparing dinner.
This machine comes with one slicing blade where you dial in the thickness of the slices. It has one shredder blade you can flip over for fine or medium shred. It is the only food processor in this price range with a dicing kit. The kit has a plastic pusher that you push into the dicing kit to clean out anything that has not popped out. The Processor has three bowls. You nest either the small or medium bowl in the large bowl. With the Cuisinart you have to nest all three bowls before you can use the small bowl. There are two chopping blades; one is for the small bowl, an adapter and a plastic dough hook.
One of the negative comments about this machine is that the dice is too small. If I want a larger disk, I use the French fry disk (purchased separately) and cut each “fry” into two or three smaller pieces.
One night I took a few potatoes and put processed then every way I could. I sliced it from thin to thick. I used the French fry disk, the Julianne disk, both fine and medium shredder and the dicing kit. I put all these side by side. It was a great way to learn about the features of the machine.
The machine comes with a basic manual. If you need a recipe book, I recommend The New Food Processor Bible (see my review on this). This is the missing manual for any food processor. The machine is expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. It’s like having another pair of hands in the kitchen.
This machine is definitely recommended for the serious cook.

Love it!
By Queenie
Very happy I made this purchase, even though I needed another food processor like I need another ten pounds on my hips. I gave away my other processors because this does it all and appears to be very well-made. Love the small dice feature and the ability to select the size of the slice with that blade. It goes together and washes up easily.
There are two empty slots in the accessories bin that I worried were missing items. After investigating their web site I discovered these are for two that have not been yet released.
