| I have had this machine for about 3 months now. It has worked well for everything from graham cracker crusts to cole slaw and everything in between. One couldn't ask for much more.
The only reason I docked it a star is that the small container ,about 4 cups, has very sloped sides. This causes larger pieces to stay on the sides of the container and not fall back to be chopped finer. Requires more scraping down of the sides. I love the machine and wouldn't think of going without it. I love this food processor. In the past I had two different Cuisinart models, and the bowls and lids would invariably crack and need to be replaced. Also, the feed tubes were difficult to clean. I would call repeatedly to Cuisinart for help, but no one answered for months! So the Kitchenaid is a vast improvement, with the feed tube easier to clean, and the bowl feels more substantial. It took a while to become accustomed to the blade's not stopping immediately, but that is minor. I like having the mini-bowl; it's like having two processors in one. I can make a crumb topping first and then the coffee cake below. My one complaint is that the top circle covering on the plastic dough blade has broken off with just normal use, which is disappointing. Now the ingredients fall through the holes on the stem of the blade, since there is no covering. The machine is 1 1/2 years old. The company says to buy a new blade.... Great buy. What a bargain. I love this machine and use it daily. I especially like the small bowl for things that do not require the big one. |
