KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor, KFP1318, Contour Silver

I had to replace my 20 year old food processor and gave this a try. I already put it to work since it’s garden season. This processor doesn’t miss a beat. Made short work of my zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, and onions. I’m looking forward to making salsa next. I like the included dough blade too. For me the 13 cup size is perfect but there are smaller sizes available. The improvement to the lid lock is very nice, no more trying to click it into place. Very sturdy and Easy to clean. Everything stores right in the bowl. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a new food processor.

My older model broke and while I don't use a food processor all that often, the times I do make it worth it to have one and I'd prefer a decent model over some cheap version that won't perform. My older model was a 13 cup bowl that actually had several bowls nested inside so you could either do the whole 13 cups or size down. These new configurations just have the one bowl. The older models had a box for the accessories; this one has everything stored on board. And that's nice for storage, but it is like a puzzle putting it all back together. They do give you several diagrams showing you how to put it all back, but it is slightly tricky at first. Instead of sliding around to come on and off, the cover pops open and can be taken off the base by pulling on the hinge side. I've used it twice so far, once to pulverize cookies to use as a pie crust and another time to chop roasted vegetables to make salsa. Both turned out great. The pulse is nice and steady and did both jobs equally well. There was no leakage and I think part of that is due to the new design where the bowl snaps down into place rather than sliding back and forth to lock. Also, the new "nut" in the middle of the bowl to hold the chopping blades is sealed so it would be harder for liquids to get inside and eventually leak out. I wasn't unhappy with the older model but this is a nice upgrade. Most of the parts go in the dishwasher but you wash the blades by hand (as always). Takes up vertical space in the cupboard but since all the accessories are on board, you're only taking up that space.

This 13 cup KitchenAid food processor with the snap and go easy clean working bowl is an amazing product and like all KitchenAid you get phenomenal products. The great workmanship, durability and customer service is legendary. With this food processor you can chop, shred, precision slice knead and mix. You can easily adjust the slicing thickness to five different sizes with just a touch of the lever. It has 6 accessories included and the accessories all are stored on a storage caddy with the instructions on how to put it together after you have taken a particular part out and want to put it back. The price on this is wonderful I don't think you'll find another KitchenAid food processor with this many bells and whistles any cheaper. Take the plunge into KitchenAid products, you'll be amazed.

I don't usually write reviews, but I love this food processor. I've used it for chopping vegetables, nuts, and seeds, and it handles everything effortlessly. What really impressed me is how well it processes small seeds without leaving large pieces behind or getting stuck. It's powerful, easy to use, easy to clean, and the 13 cup size is perfect for meal prep. The quality feels excellent, and it has quickly become one of the most used appliances in my kitchen. If you're on the fence, I'd definitely recommend it.

I love this thing and I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact the dough blade has no locking mechanism for keeping it seating. trying to make a stickier dough? Well prepare for the little cup adapter to be filled with it. This was a bad design feature and frankly I expect better from Kitchenaid. Also doesn't make banana bread batter very well either. Other than that gripe, it chops well and shreds well.

I love my food processor but it has a few annoying design flaws. First, the top rather than twisting off has a right hand hinge. First, unless you take the top off the hinge it is in the way when adding product. Second, unless you have your hands on them, the smaller plungers go flying across the room. I have broken corners off the middle plunger twice. Both the bowl, the top, and the plungers are made of a brittle plastic. I anticipate having to replace them in fairly short order. As a slicer, shredder and processor it preforms like a champ. I have made a total of 20 pounds of pimento cheese and prepared and Italian sausage dish as an appetizer for 350 for a fundraiser. All the slicing, shredded, grating and processing was done quickly and efficiently. The fact that shredding or slicing blades can be attached above the processing blade saves time by combining two processes into one. Except for the design limitations. Except for the design limitations I mentioned it is the best processor I’ve owned. This is my third generation.

Super disappointed. I loves this food processor until the lid broke because its made out of cheap plastic. I wven bought one for my daughter. Unfortunately, I tried to buy a replacement lid (which is ridiculous I have to do that in the first place), and after waiting 32 minutes on hold, the call was dropped just as the representative was going to take my cc info to place the order for the replacement lid. And of course I didn't get a call back. I called back-again, and 30 minute estimated wait time and had to hang up after 10 minutes because an important call came through that I couldn't miss. So, after 40+ minutes of my time, I still dont have a working lid and after emailing them to complain, their online customer service only apologized and thanked me for my patience. I will NEVER buy kitchenaid aid appliances again due to their horrible customer service in only allowing telephone orders of replacement parts that shouldn't break in the first place! Make this right Kitchenaid!

So I got this for my wife to replace her 20 year old kitchenaid food processor. This new one has several advantages over the old one. 1. The motor noise is much lower, It's pretty quiet compared to the old one and just seems quiet in general. We'll see if that holds up longer term but I was impressed by the sound level. 2. The blade storage system is really nice. The old unit just didn't have a way to easily stack the blades and accessories inside the bowl. The jumble of parts made cut fingers a risk so we just didn't do it. The main blades stayed in but the rest of the parts were stored somewhere else. 3. Power seems really good. My wife has done some bread dough and a few other things so far and she's commented several times on how well it worked. 4. The bowl just lifts off. compared to the old one with it rotate and lift setup its just a little more convenient and easier to use. Only thing to get used to is the latching and safety systems. They're not bad but the lid has to be FIRMLY latched down to energize the unit. She had a couple of times where the lid was down and the rubber seal engaged but it wasn't down that last 2-3 millimeters to the latch was fully caught and the unit wasn't running. She asked me to look at it and for a minute I thought the breaker had tripped before I figured out the latch wasn't down 100%. Not a huge deal and once you figure it out you know to double check it but it's something to be aware of. In our case the problem was made worse because the power cord for the coffee machine on the other side of the kitchen island had gotten a little loose and the coffee maker wouldn't turn on. So initially it seemed like the power to the island was out all the way.

Considerando che vendono su Amazon Italia, dovrebbero specificare meglio che si tratta di un elettrodomestico che funziona con voltaggio a 110 volt. Il prodotto è arrivato con un convertitore di corrente che non funziona e mi ha quasi bruciato la resistenza della macchina. Ho dovuto spendere altri 100 euro per comprarne uno che funzionasse e poter usare il prodotto. Detto questo il prodotto funziona ed è di ottima qualità

Puedes ajustarle el grosor de los cuadrito y pícaros finos o gruesos :D también se pueden hacer papas fritas.

Excelente producto
