Kitchen Aid Processor vs Cuisinart

littlerock — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:11:20 GMT

I have had a Cuisinart processor for many years. It's getting a little tired so I began my search for a 13 cup Cuisinart with no results.

now I'm watching and I see the KitchenAid processor with the larger capacity.

does anyone think the KitxhenAid would be as good as the Cuisinart?

I've owned both brands, and prefer the Cuisinart. The model I own is the Cuisinart Custom 14 Cup. I paid about $300 a few years ago.

No, I don't think you can beat the Cuisinart brand for quality. I never hear anything negative about their products, whereas I've read of plenty of Kitchen Aid disasters.

@Kachina624 I am not surprised, but the question might be what percentage of each has shown problems. I assume far more KA's have been sold than Cuisinarts which means lots more to go wrong.

I just logged in to ask the very same question. I've had the Cuisinart in my wish list for awhile, but with the KitchenAid TSV today, I thought I'd see what others thought. I have many other KitchenAid appliances and have been very pleased, so I would consider switching brands. Based on the replies so far, though, it sounds like the Cuisinart is the preferred brand.

I had a KA to for years that the container broke and it wasn't worth replacing. I own a Cuisinart now and I'm happy with it. However, I will say I see some real improvements with this model of fp, and if I was in the market to get one, I would strongly consider it.

Cuisinart rules, accept no substitutions. LOL

@littlerock

I personally would stay away from any appliances from the Q or HSN.

Almost all the time they have their own model number assigned to them and if you ever need a replacement, it's a lot of work.

Plenty of good deals from Kohl's, Best Buy, Walmart or any store you can actually walk in and say, here it doesn't work, help me.

@SharkE I 100 percent agree with your comments. And I bought my first one in the late 1970's--gave it to mom and upgraded and that first one lasted almost 30 years.

I am on my third one now (still have the second one but the 3d one is smaller) and have never had one wear out or not perform. I tried a KA and it wasn't up to snuff for me. Kept my old Cuisinart.

I'm on my 2nd cuisinart 11 cup--the first one lasted 20 years--got it on sale at Macys for under the price of the KA tsv, with free shipping a few years ago.

I'm with the others. No way would I leave Cuisinart for KA, especially since KA was sold to a company that cut back on quality.

Me too. Bought at Macy's the 11 cup. Must have the same one. It has been wonderful. Plus it fits under my cabinets fine. The KA was too tall and that would have been a problem. I wanted the Matte Black and I kept putting in the basket and letting it disappear. Was so on the fence only because of the color. I'm glad there is no more of that color now. LOL.
