Great Shredder, poor slicer
By Benjamin E. Hornecker
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2R0LJVSEBAS4Y I purchased this with the intention of just using the shredder for cheese; I make a lot of home made pizza and I finally broke my food processor. I am not going to use the slicer but I thought it would be fun to try it out and let you see what it does right out of the box. This video has been edited; I did quite a bit more slicing of vegetables but had to cut it down to make the 10 minute time limit. The only thing that the slicer did right was slice carrots. Everything else was not sliced properly--a lot more shredding than slicing with several of the veggies. The apple came out pretty good and we made some great apple chips from those. I didn't try using the shredders on the vegetables for making hash browns, but I imagine it would have done a decent job.
Things you didn't see on there were onions and cabbage. The slicer did a decent job on the cabbage (also the cabbage removed the orange staining on the housing caused by the carrots) but there were a few large chunks that got stuck between the slicer and the housing. Other than that, it was practically perfect for coleslaw. The onion sliced fairly decent as well, except for a few big chunks. The harder the food was (carrots, apples, radishes, etc.) the better it sliced. The blades of the slicer do not appear to be very sharp which may have a lot to do with the poor slicing performance. I never cared for any kind of food slicer, I feel that its faster overall to just cut by hand with a really sharp knife. Now as far as the cheese shredding, the product does a fairly good job, but I am going to use the fine grater though in the future. I was not too impressed with the coarse grater (it did not grate the cheese into individual pieces but rather larger pieces that looked similar to picket fencing) but the fine grater did a pretty good job and did it quickly. The whole thing is very easy to clean and is dish-washer safe which I am happy about. The cones are fairly difficult to get out but it does get easier with time and if you wrap a towel around your hand and stick it into the cone and twist while applying pressure outwards toward the cone, it will break free easily. I gave this a 3 star because I think the slicer deserves a 1 star and the graters deserve a 4 star. I would only have given the grater a 5 if the coarse one did a better job.

What a deception! Kitchen-Hell
By Steve
Nota Bene:
I have tried to contact Kitchen-Aid for over a month, wrote 4 EM via the KitchenAid customer support Website, and beside their promise to answer within 3 business day, I have yet to hear from them.
I'm truly disappointed with their customer support and the RSVA.
Kitchen-Hell: "for the way it's made"
Well,
What a deception!
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
I purchase this product in the idea that KitchenAid was a good brand (by experience), but I must admit that I have the feeling that I paid $50 for a very, very poor shredder, which should be sold $15 maximum. A $7 Walmart hand shredder makes a better job.
I have the feeling that KitchenAid just ripped me off.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I love to cook, and I'm normally the type to buy one excellent knife instead of 2 poor ones, but this time, I was fooled.
So , let's review the product:
First of all, the cones are not stainless steel, but regular steel, badly chromed.
It means that, one day or another, they will rust.
How can you tell? Use a magnet, if it is not sticking, it's a 18/10 stainless steel. (18% Chrome + 10% Nickel, a TRUE Stainless Steel)
Try with your kitchenaid mixing bowl, and you'll see.
It also means that if you ever try to sharpen the slicing blades, you'll take off the chrome and it WILL rust very quickly.
I'm sorry, but a brand like Kitchenaid should AT LEAST, provides Stainless Steel cones. Especially at 50 bucks a piece. (and I suppose that's why it is stated HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY), not allowed to use regular steel in a restaurant)
The blades are either dull, unevenly sharpened, or not at all(sides). It mashes or puree very well, but the cuts are uneven and messy. I just wanted a slicer, not a musher.
The sharpening on (my) slicing cones is visibly uneven. one side slices, the other not.
The gap between the cones and the body is too big, food goes in, get pushed in by the dull cones to end up in a mess.
The cones rotate unevenly, off balance, which adds to the previous mess.
The length of the blades is smaller than the size of the spout. (the cutting length should be a least the size of the spout, not smaller )
In short: everything that goes is those corners is miserably mashed
So, as a result, in my opinion: buy something else.
Add $20 and buy yourself something decent. Plus, the attachment is so bulky that a food processor will not take much space.
My grade on a 10 scale: 3
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
And if you ever decide to buy one , please contact me , for $25, you'll have an almost brand new one.

Shred away
By Joel Schopp
This is a great shredder. Absolutly the best out there. It is a lousy slicer. Take the bad with the good I guess.
My wife and I shred lots of cheese because pre-shredded cheese has chemicals added that change the taste and chemical properties of the cheese. This attachment works wonderfully for cheese.
A note on disassembly. Some people have difficulty getting the cone off the plug (if you own one you know what I'm talking about). The very easy way to remedy this is to remove the cone from the plug before removing the plug from the machine. If you follow this one rule you will have very easy setup and take down.
