KA Food processor

Lacey1 — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:00:26 GMT

I noticed on today's TSV-if you check the manual (pdf), it is listed as 360 watts. My older 9 cup FP is 700 watts. As I listened to the demo-this TSV sounded as if it was struggling on some of the tasks. Also, mine was made in China. This is listed as 'imported'. Mine is a workhorse-it weighs a ton and is very well-made. I don't think this TSV is nearly as strong or will last as long as mine.

Lacey1, That lower power probably does matter. Last night Rick had to grab one of the processors & hold it down. Not a good sign that it is sturdy!

It has not garnered good reviews anywhere on the web....look it up on Amazon and BB&B.

This one, like the hand mixers QVC sells, is 'imported' (read-made in China). So it's probably not the same quality you might expect from the MIA products.

Those are not the same model as the TSV...this is the Exact Slice model.

This is a world launch. Please note: It only has 360 watts. This will not perform well under heavy use, note how it struggles with the sweet potatoes. Once again, if you only need a FP for occasional, lightweight slicing and processing-it should be fine.

I don't have a food processor but I do have a Kitchen aid mixer. You can buy the attachment for the KA mixer that slices and shreds for a lot less money from stores and online. I have it and it works fine. I am not sure why someone would need this TSV.

meezerpleezer does the attachment slice tomatoes? Is it the set sold on qvc?

Check out a Cuisinart Food Processor. Mine is old, weighs a ton and has never missed a beat. Cuisinart made the original food processor.

sherbear1--I have never used the KA attachment to slice tomatoes. I have used it for cukes and zucchinis, etc.

I looked on the QVC website. They don't offer it as a separate attachment like they do at other stores such as Kohls. It is part of a multi-attachment set, K40538 which also includes the meat grinder attachment and the fruit and vegetable strainer. That is going for almost $100 on QVC. You can do a lot better than that, I would think, if you decide to buy some of the KA attachments.

Sherbear1--I just went to Kohl's website. They have the slicer/shredder attachment for the KA mixer for $59.99 (not on sale). There is also a video of how it works. They don't show tomatoes being sliced but they do show potatoes which is of course, a not so delicate veggie. There are always sales off coupons and free shipping offered on a regular basis if you decide to investigate and buy one.

Thank you so much for the information. I am trying to decide on yesterdays tsv. I have it on waitlist but still unsure. I have the last tsv mixer the 6 qt lift with the glass bowl.

Chopping, dicing, mincing. Cuisinart makes excellent food processors btw.

I just purchased the KA food processor when it was a TSV. I read its reviews online, and they were mixed. The Cuisinart 9 cup received great reviews but only comes in silver. I also purchased the cuisinart at another online store, and the current sale price made it comparable to QVC's KA TSV. The KA is better looking, imo, even in the black (I'm going to leave mine out on the counter), and has the french fry/thick cut blade included (the cuisinart doesn't include this blade, but it's available, as a separate purchase, as part of a trio of blades. They are expensive though. Maybe you can find it somewhere sold alone rather than with other blades) I'm going to let my Mom choose the food processor she likes and keep the other!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Cuisinart 9 cup Prep Plus food processor (model DLC-2009CHB) is 600 watts.
