a good purchase November 29, 2008

Well worth the money for this food processor--well built with many of options & features.
Bread blade works well, as do the other attachments. We like the juicer, and all the parts wash easily. The three sized bowls make clean up easier
It does take up some counter room, but well worth not having to pull it out every time you want to use it.
This processor is so quiet that at first I was afriad it wasn't working correctly, but I was so excited when I realized it was becuase I can still hear the radio while I'm cooking.
I would recommend this purchase to anyone who wants to do some serious processing (more than just your weekend hummus maker...).
 so far, great! November 25, 2008

I wasn't sure whether to stick with Cuisinart (my Cuisinart worked like a champ and was my mother's who used it regularly, then passed it on to me. I also used it a few times a week, so That processor was well over 30 years old! that's some testament to Cuisinart's longevity and quality)
After doing a lot of research, I decided to give the K.A. 760 a try because even though it seemed very similar to the Cuisinart, there were additional features on it I liked that a comparable Cuisinart lacked.
I've only had this food processor for a week but I've used it many times: I make my dog's food and it has ground/processed raw chicken breasts, whole eggs,fruit and veggies just fine. I've grated cheese, and sliced and julienned veggies which came out perfectly, and I've used the accompanying work bowls which make different jobs very convenient.
I made dough for pies which also came out very well and not over-processed. (That is something, of course, which one can regulate themselves for the most part)
I haven't tried yeast doughs in it yet because I prefer to make those in my Pro Kitchen Aid stand mixer. But I'm looking forward to using the juice press just for kicks.
My only gripe is the instruction booklet, which I found a little disorganized and vague at times. But since I've used food processors for a long time, this machine seemed intuitive enough on its own without the booklet. Nifty machine so far, and highly recommended.
(PS-- I meant to give this 5 stars but couldn't get back into that option on the amazon site)
awesome product, awesome support November 15, 2008

I bought this unit in September and it is so strong and fast that I laugh when I use it!! It slices potatoes and apples so fast my boys all line up to watch it work. It handles big chunks and odd shapes. It is fun to use.
The main reason I'm writing a review, however, is to let you know about the awesome customer support you'll receive if you buy KitchenAid. Yesterday I was slicing apples for apple sauce -- I wanted to make a big batch, so I had 10 big apples ready to slice. I put too many in! All of the sudden the slicing disk was trying to slice the underside of the cover of the unit. Argh!! This morning I called KitchenAid and explained the situation. Guess what? They are shipping me a brand new unit, with all new accessories and everything, along with a return shipping label for me to return the broken unit. WOW. Order KitchenAid and you'll have an incredibly strong, fun machine to use; and when you get in trouble, their customer support will bail you out!
A Great Product November 3, 2008

I purchased the KitchenAid KFPW760 a few weeks ago and I am so happy that I did. I debated between purchasing the Cuisinart and the Kitchenaid for several months. I finally took the plunge and bought the Kitchenaid and so far, I am very happy with my choice. I have never owned a Cuisinart and so I can't really compare the two brands.
I like the fact that my Kitchenaid is easy to use and easy to clean. The wide mouth and narrow tubes are both very useful features. I was a little concerned about previous comments stating that the wide tube was useless because of the safety features but I don't think this is really a problem.
There are several functional issues that I am still trying to figure out.
First of all, the distance between the end of the feet tube and the blade may be a little large because I often find that the last portion of what I am slicing/grating ends up flying around on top of the blade rather than being processed.
Secondly, I can't seem to grind nuts evenly. I get some whole nuts and some finely chopped nuts all in the same batch. I have tried using smaller amounts but then the work involved no longer makes the processing worthwhile.
Thirdly, the center piece that keeps the grater/slicer in place often gets stuck which means that I have to pull out the blade assembly to get at the processed food. As I am doing this, I find that the food then falls out the center hole which is a little annoying.
However, these concerns are minor and would not deter me from buying this product. I use my food processor regularly throughout the week and I know that I will find even more uses for it in the future.
 works good for us but i dont like the feed chute November 2, 2008

Its a good processor. Two things I dont like. When I was deciding which one to buy, I was under the impression that the middle sized bowl could be used with the multipurpose chopping blade. It cannot, you can only use the medium sized bowl with the slicing and shredding disks. Another thing, the large feed chute is nice that you can fit big items in there, but you have to be mindful of the max fill line otherwise the safety wont engage and you wont be able to process the food. Its not like the smaller chute where you can operate the processor with the chute open. On the big one, there is a safety latch that is tripped when you have the pusher 1/2 of the way in.
Besides those things, it is a very good processor. Looking back, I should have just got a single bowl processor. It would have been easier and I really dont like that large feed chute safety! On the plus side, I do like the attachments it comes with. Used the egg whip a few times to make the eggs nice and well beaten for french toast. I like the bread kneader blade, but the instructions say not to go over like 3 or 4 cups of flour? I can't remember exactly, but it was half of what I usually use in my bread recipies so I'm going to have to split my recipies and do them that way. The shredding and slicing disks are nice, I used the little bowl to mix up a little guacamole, came out good. Its nice but it is big and there were some things that I was dissapointed about.
