KitchenAid - 9-Cup Food Processor - Empire Red

Got this to replace a smaller one I had that had broken. This one is amazing!

I like the red color; it adds a splash of color to the kitchen. I also like the smaller footprint of this unit, but it comes at a price. It is a bit heavy and seems sturdy and well made. Until you turn it on. The stability of this unit is disappointing because it seems top-heavy. I have used it for chopping vegetables and to puree a cream soup so far, but every time I turn it on, the whole unit wobbles and jumps around on the counter. I really have to remember to hold it down before turning it on. It’s not nearly as powerful as the Ninja I replaced. Also the top is hinged and opens sideways which feels questionable. When you open it this way, remember to take out the “pusher” for the chute, because it’ll fall out every time. One other thing is when you put the food processing unit on the stand, it doesn’t lock into place like you’d expect. It just slots down into the grooves. Given its propensity for jumping around, this could be unsafe or messy. I’m really disappointed in Kitchen-Aid, because some of their other products have been quite good. This one’sa bust though.

I’ve been very happy with this KitchenAid 9-cup food processor. It’s powerful, easy to assemble, and does a great job chopping vegetables, shredding cheese, and slicing ingredients quickly and evenly. The bowl is a good size for everyday cooking, and cleanup is straightforward. The quality feels solid, and it has made meal prep much faster. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable food processor.

Very nice….special features….self storage of attachments. Would like a bigger feed tube.

KitchenAid is one of the best brands ever. We have Ninja products too. Nina is a close competitor, but KitchenAid is superior when it comes to functionality, noise reduction and overall performance.
