Re: KA food processors

[ Edited ]

Thank U, but, I don't keep all that setting out even though I have a 12ft counter. LOL just the oster oven, toaster, nuwave and mini Kitched aid. LOL

On my hunt for a food processor that suits my needs, I have read many reviews on Amazon about this very same thing (buttons hard to push)   so this must be a design flaw.  I finally found the processor for me, its Hamilton Beach, like my mixer and a whole lot cheaper than KA.  Hope your new KA processor is much easier for you to use.

Well, never had any trouble operating the KA processor. But, aside from the fact its such a large footprint and with all the discs was a pain to store. Then, really did not find it time-saving: still gotta peel, and slice to fit the shoot, then hated the clean-up, especially when shredding. I'm not a gourmet cook, actually not much of a cook, and found the old do-it-by-hand method much less of a mess. So, your all probably gonna think I'm nuts, but I donated it to a local store that sells things and supports a large Christian school.  Hopefully, someone will enjoy using it and someone else will get helped from the proceeds. Guess it was an expensive lesson, but often, less is better.

@SharkE,just curious, do you have someone to inherit all your red stuff? In the last couple of years I have given much of my kitchen "stuff" to family members..my big blue KA mixer, food processor, GF grills,etc, I am loving my de-cluttered kitchen..occasionally, I am tempted, but then come to my senses...we are retired, but rarely cook big meals any more..only tempted by a small air fryer right now 😊  I do love your red, my accent color!

I love my 9 cup KA processor.  The buttons are different and relative to a flip switch like the cuisinart has they are harder to operate.  I found that they do loosen up.  But mostly you get used to pushing in the right place firmly.  I will say that i have little use for the small bowl.  It tends to flip food down into the big bowl so i dont really get the point of it.

@homedecor1- I'm taking your advise and I sent back the 13 cup KA FP and marked it as defective.  I'll probably go back to Cuisinart as I had a 7 cup for about 30 years. I'll shop around and see if any of them feature a dicing blade as that's what attracted me to the KA.  I watched the KA FP video that was done when I ordered it and "Tina" just pressed the buttons easily and the machine worked. This was not my experience.  Thanks for your imput.
