@Gerard Hopkins The motor of the mixer has the same power as a Classic Stand Mixer K 45SS. A Magic Mix is an awesome machine for food processing! It is the modern version of the company that created the first Cuisinarts back in 1972 and the later created Robot-Coupe. I have a Robot-Coupe RC 2100 that I have been using for over 35 years, still using the original work bowl and have upgraded with attachments. Juice extractor, citrus juicer, power strainer, expanded feed tube &10 disks , dough dome and blade, and a few other pieces to organize it all.
I have watched a few of the kitchenaid accessories videos and they all seem to take a lot of work and have lots of pieces, which over time probably get lost. I have my kitchenaid mixer but I don't think I would buy the accessories.
Jeff,Kitchen Aid needs to pay her to remove this video, because she made this look very bad. Im using this attachment for long time and it is best thing out there . I used to buy other machines but nothing worked better then this. I would suggest read owners Manuel before using it.
She was not having trouble she just put to many carrots in. Everything has a learning curve. Some are just to lazy to learn like men asking or reading directions.
Her biggest problem is she has it on too low a speed, you can hear the motor lugging.. With carrots, alternate big and little ends down. I've had mine for 5 years and love it! I don't take near as long as she does to do things. Definitely pack peppers and other softer foods into shoot so they don't flop around.
Thanks for showing what a train wreck this attachment is! You just saved me some money. Ill go with a different attachment and keep my old processor. 👍🏻
@@Purplehaze778 Lol! Looks like someone doesn’t do proper research before they buy expensive stuff, eh? This attachment doesn’t even come with an S blade, ffs! What is a food processor that can’t even chop?!?
All in having experience. Just alternate the ends of the carrots and it will work fine. Half with the fat side up, and half with the fat side down. No Problems
I recently bought this attachment set second hand and I definitely advise the stand alone food processor. Even second hand, it's so impractical it feels like I wasted money. I experience all the issues she did here, with a 6 quart Pro model so it's not a mini issue.
I just got mine today and test it and i really like it! I have develop arthritis in my hands and its painful to chop lately. This tool makes the job fun and fast. I have the large mixer and it was strong and super fast. I do a lot of canning and preserving and i can do quantity in no time. It’s a keeper for sure
Great video, honest in what actually happens when trying to slice and dice with this food processor. I only wish I had seen this video before I bought the attachments. Thanks!
Great review. I gave me the right information for decision making. This attachment cannot handle soft vegetables. It cannot handle hard vegetables too. Conclusion: It is almost good for nothing. Except for mangling vegetables. 😁😁😁 I know I should not buy this. And the wish of being able to dice vegetables by machine is still not found.
Seriously? There are many options to dice by machine machine that work wonderfully. I personally have the Breville 16 cup peel and dice food processor, and it is amazing! The dicing function works beautifully!
I actually love this attachment and I use it all the time. I especially appreciate the dicing function. I also have a stand alone 11 cup food processor but it doesn't dice.
I have a stand alone processor too. I like that the thickness can be adjusted with this attachment. My stand alone only has 3 disks 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 4mm. Too thin for what I would like. I also like that the food shoots out the bottom so I don’t have to stop and empty my stand alone bowl all the time. Mine doesn’t dice either and a stand alone machine that does all this is much more expensive than the attachment.
I love mine too! It is a huge time saver, especially when I am dicing garden veggies for canning. What used to take me hours now takes seconds. I think this reviewer is pushing too much into it at one time. I did one carrot. It was done in probably 5 seconds. Had the next ready to go. She is not reading the directions. It plainly states for smaller veggies, then use the smaller chute. Faster speeds, like 10 for hard veggies. Speed 4 for softer ones.
I think shenis pushing too hard. The machine should be doing all the work. She is forcing it down....should just need slight pressure to push it down. Speed should be higher as well.
The pressure exerted does affect the slicing thickness--like with the cucumber. I do not understand why she attempted to julienne bell peppers, using the disk, they just needed to be sliced again. It was a great demo showing the attachment in action and shoWws what you get. Your actual results will vary with your expertise and experience. With any machine there will be un-processed bits of food.
What is the benefit of the Kitchen Aid food processor attachment over the Kitchen Aid slicer/shredder attachment from 20 years ago (the current model seems smaller)?
Awesome review!!! But with hard vegetables such as carrots, I would turn on the stand mixer first because I think the blades are supposed to balance out before you start processing. Also I would process carrots one at a time.
@@bestkitchenreviews she also had too wide of carrot top that didn't fit in the chute. I love mine for the dicer. I use the shredder for cheese as it is easier to clean.
To help with qucumber slicing, put the the setting at it's thinnest setting and do not apply too much pressure. By appling very light pressure, you'll end up with thinner slices or apply more presser you will get thincker slices.
Loved this review! All the questions I had in mind were answered in your video…even let me know that there are recipes! Thank you so much! I’m going to give it a try and if it doesn’t work for me I will send it back that’s all. I won’t know if I don’t try. The chat has given me some food for thought as well!
The hub is way too slow for a food processor. Some mixers like the Kenwood have a faster hub on the top of the mixer for a food processor. Better to get a stand alone food processor.
I was commenting on the product and not her review. Her review was great. The product is not great. Most reviews are done for people that are going to be using the product. Based on the product's performance, this is a product should be left on the shelf.
@@AmyLearnsToCook I totally agree. I rather go on Amazon and buy a good quality food processor for half the price. This thing is $200. Its a no for me for sure.
The way this attachment hangs out so far from the motor body and the downward force exerted on the end when food stuff is fed into the cutter I am afraid it would put a torque on the motor axle, which is detrimental to the motor. There should be a vertical support at the end to counter the downward force when veggie is being fed into the cutter. It is either that or the operator should support the attachment by pushing it upward to counter balance the downward force. Thanks for the honest review. It is very helpful to see how it actually works. The julienne function does not appear to work to my expectation.
Her machine appears to be a light weight one; I don't have any issues with mine; it's a big 5.5 quart bowl lift model. When checking out the tilt head models, they seem to be lighter weight than than the bowl lift models.
Ok, just a little suggestion here: After slicing your peppers FOLD them (makes them feed better & stay upright ) also with any softer veggie. It has to stay upright so just fold & feed. (I got this from another video ).
An obscenely honest video ... great job!!! I've been wanting to buy this for a long time, but I think I'll hold off. For two reasons, my wife is not fond of the idea, and it will be hard to sell it to her :) She is a ninja fan for pretty much everything, except cake / cookie / bread making.
Thank you for this review. I have seen this attachment perform in other videos and it did a much better job and was fast and powerful. The difference was the size of the mixer, so I assume that a higher power mixer will work a tad better. The only reason I am even considering this product is for the dicing capability, which has performed well in all of the videos I have seen including yours. My Cuisinart stand alone food processor blows this thing out of the water in terms of shredding and slicing, but does not have dicing capability. I can get this for about $100 plus tax with discounts and coupons, but that is a lot to spend for just needing the dicing so I will have to think about it and see if there are other dicing options out there. If anyone has any recommendations on a product that dices, I would love to hear about them.
Great demo and review! I'm not really impressed with this attachment. The only thing I would use it for is the cubing. Thank you again, you did a great job!
You should have alternated the carrots stacked in the feed tube being wide and narrow or just use the narrow feed tube. It would not have taken much more time to process one carrot at a time. Bell pepper pieces should have been sliced to give the strips you were seeking. The julienne disc is meant for beets, squash, carrots, & sweet potato. Great to see how the dicing upgrade works. Thank you for the review & demonstration.
It doesn’t seem to actually be a food processor. I have other attachments for my 5qt Kitchen Aid that slices, shreds, grates, etc. I’m looking for something that will work like the chopping/mixing function of a food processor. Her mini version is definitely not suitable for the strength needed with this and her pressure.with the harder veggies and the cheese. My other style of attachments are akin to a salad shooter style. The dicing disc seems to be the best out of everything.
I saw few videos from KitchenAid which looked so beautiful and was about to buy this, but this video really saved my money, glad I saw this video, thank you so much for this product review
I believe if a larger KA was use it would have worked better. And yes, I agree with another commenter on here. Fold the peppers. I do with a different FP I use at home.
I'm not familiar with the kitchen aid Mini so I don't know what it's wodage in torque ratings are but my Kenmore elite which is built by Whirlpool/kitchen aid doesn't seem to struggle or process things as slowly as that little yellow One did. All kitchen aid stand mixer attachments also fit all Kenmore elite model stand mixers They both have motors with hubs built by Whirlpool.
@@bestkitchenreviews I did. I liked how you showed different aspects of it without sugarcoating it. Unfortunately I saw this video after the purchase. I wished I had seen earlier.
Great video. It shows the attachment for what it truly is. An absolute impractical and useless piece of shit. You can purchase a Kitchenaid stand alone processor for less money than the crappy attachment version. I have a Kitchenaid KPM5 machine. Excellent product, but some of the attachments such as citrus juicer etc are ridiculous and overpriced
I purchased the same attachment in 2014 and I'm experiencing all the same problems. The machine gets clogged and stopped working I have put the cheese refrigerator and that doesn't help matters either. This is the worst KitchenAid I bought. I telephoned customer service and they were absolutely no help....
I bought this and had a terrible experience with this !! To be honest... Not recommended to anyone to buy!! Worst product of the KitchenAid!! I had to buy a food processor separately to do this kind of work for me. Thanks for the video for demonstrating the issues as well!
I was so excited to receive my dicing kit a few weeks ago. It jammed up immediately with my carrots and potatoes!!! My recipe took me an extra hour because of so much time trying to unjam!!! I'm so unhappy!!!!!
I was about to purchase this attachment but I was not impressed by it's efficiency. I have a Magimix food processor which performs much better. The motor on the stand mixer sounded like it was under strain and I would be concerned that you could burn it out.
The kitchenaid mixer is only 250 watts. You can see that it doing the work, but hard on the motor. I also find it work better to turn on mixer to get the speed going before dropping the fruits or vegetables. Yes, I do own one and the food processor is wonderful. So if you planning to get the food processor, just make sure you have an bigger mixer. I am not blaming on this women, she does an fantastic job. I have learn a lot from her. Thank you......
She has the motor set on a lower setting and also she is just cramming food through it. It’s no difference than using a table saw and forcing wood through it. You burn the blade up and it becomes dull, with this you should let the processor do it at its own pace via the amount of speed you command it to.
I got this attachment as a gift. It has been sitting on the shelf as I didn't feel like reading the manual. Pretty thick for a kitchen appliance. You did a great job with this.....covering all of the blades. Other videos I saw did not even have the camera angle where you could see what the user was doing inside the attachment. I also like that you don't have a lot of extra chit chat.... you covered a lot of material. Thank you :-)
I just bought this attachment second hand for a very good price, tried the julienne cutter first - a total disaster with all kind of different veggies :-((( came here to see reviews and saw not a single review where the julienne cutter performs decently. And your review of all of the attachment is the best to be found on youtube by far !!! You gave the julienne different tries and were even not over critical of it in the end .... I also agree that the dicer is the best one of all the blades and accessories. Had similar problems with the other blades just like you had including the size of the slices being too thick for the thinniest option. My biggest criticism is in regard to the overall alignment of the attachment to the mixer: It is too heavy to be a stabile counterbalance forthe standard Artisan. It needs only a small additional weight or tipping on the attachment and the Artisan lifts up in the big. Plus, pressing hard vegetables through the blades - even when done with highest caution and attention - makes the attachment slightly bent, which makes me worried each time that it might break off. The book with the instructions is a total catastrophy and done by s.o. who seems to have not done any research on how manuals for electronics are usually done. The case for the blades - however - is quite a master piece, very well designed to help with easy and quick organising and storing. The blades themselves seem good quality, very sturdy and well made. I have the feeling that there were different design teams involved in developing this attachment. The sum of their work coming together does not cut the cake.
I Love my mixer...just want to get even more out of it. This is the review I have been looking for. Not biased for or against the product. I saw this online and wanted one for Christmas...glad I did not get it because I am sure I would not have used it after the first time. I hope you have reviewed other Kitchenaid attachments so I can get a feel for them before I possibly make a mistake. Thank you!
I like the Pasta Roller and two cutters --- but I like making pasta noodles, spaghetti & lasagna. I do not have the pasta extruder and have doubts about it working well. If you like snow cones the ice shaver is fun to use. I like the ice cream freezer with the new improved dasher. I prefer the BeaterBlade over the flex-edge beater--it has better mixing-scraping action. The sifter/scale works better in the video and no where else! It does not remove lumps be the screen is too big! I do like the spiralizer for peeling and slicing as well as making veggie noodles. The sheet cutter I have no use for, too much is wasted. I have a great food processor so no use for the fresh prep attachment in my kitchen.
KA should have made a bowl to go with it with the correct height to alleviate issues with product safety that look obvious with this unit. Go get the real deal. Would be interesting to know the gear material nylon or metal, I don't see longevity with this unit forget about safety. Kitchen aid back to the drawing board. Would have been a perfect fit for the 1970's.
""u should get a stand alone processor" yep if that is what you want to use, but the advantage i see is the pass through nature of the unit which would allow for some big ass containers under it if you are processing a ton of pickles , and my mixer never leaves the counter anyway so i don't have to drag out a second appliance. looks like a labor saver to me.
For the julienne demo, the vegetables might have been better laying on horizontal in the tube resulting in longer strips more similar to julienne expected.
Here is a list of blenders I've reviewed, including two KitchenAids: ua-cam.com/play/PLzun5Kt3JnhPrmdJ1Hsq_-yGS4yVKUXJZ.html I have reviewed milk frothers that were included with some coffee makers, not a milk frother alone.
I like your video too- very relax, clear instructions. The angle of the videoing is perfect too; very good to judge the performance/effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the machine ourselves. Thx
It’s nit a chopper though. It has no S blade to chop, like a normal food processor has. I don’t know how they got away with calling this a food processor!
Great video ...i will not buy this product it was making your job harder not easier and that motor Sounds like it was straining.with attachment on Great video ! But doesn't look like it has any power .
264.95CDN$ You just saved me 264.95$cdn Nooooooooooooo Way will I buy this slice I have the KitchenAid Professional 500 maybe my machine is stronger, but no willing to risk it. I'll PASS
Hi! I've been binge watching your videos! It's really great to see a good appliance review. May I ask if you have heard of the gourmia power dicer and if you could do one! Been searching through your channel but don't seem to find it probably there's no video of it. Great job on all your videos! I love it!
Seems like a lot of work... i will try a few other videos before I decide. It may be worthwhile to spend more money and buy the food processor with dicing attachment.
I received this food processor as a gift. I won't complain about it because I didn't have to pay for it. This review was a great help to me and I was able to make Pesto by processing first then using my stand mixer to finish my pesto. You have a great voice for reviewing and great editing skills! The lighting is on point! :)
The only attachment I’ve chosen to get (years after buying my KitchenAid) and has for sure added value for me, is the shredder/slicer. It’s not as bulky as most of the other attachments and it’s definitely something I use quite a lot!
I purchased one of these and the lid would not stay latched so it would stop working every time--very annoying. Needless to say, I returned it. Don't waste your money. KitchenAid has problems with a lot of their food processors. The older models were much better and easier to clean. These new ones have so many parts and pieces that you may as well use a knife or grater because you don't save time after all the cleanup.
Thanks for your efforts! Mine has been sitting in cabinet for years and after this video it is moving to my daughter’s house. She has a stand mixer and I wish her better luck.
My problem is I can't even attach this food processor to my KitchenAid 6 quart Pro! Love the mixer! but I need to attach the food processor -wish I knew how to do it! She makes it looks so easy.
I was going to buy this but after watching this video it looks like way too much trouble than it's worth. :( I wish this demo was done with at least a 375 watt machine
Even she is having issues with this! Looks like it is more trouble than it is worth. Glad I watched this before I wasted my money. Thank you.
You're welcome, Jeff :)

Turn the mixer on before you stuff the food down the mixture
All in having experience. Just alternate the ends of the carrots and it will work fine. Half with the fat side up, and half with the fat side down. No Problems

Poor stand mixer. Even the motor sounds awfull after the 3 carrots. You force a lot it. Poor poor mixer.
Stop pushing so hard. Let the machine do the work.
Wow this gets my "It sucks" rating for product.
I think this is the best invention. Cant wait to go buy mine today at Kohls. Thank you for honest video. I'm more skilled at using appliances...

Glad I watched this. I got this for Christmas and I think I'm going to exchange it for a different one
well i am glad i'm not the only one who can't get this thing to julienne anything
SO frustrating

I believe if a larger KA was use it would have worked better. And yes, I agree with another commenter on here. Fold the peppers. I do with a different FP I use at home.
Your mixer is a low grade model. I have a model that has no problem grating, slicing or grating food. I can hear the motor having a difficult time.
Thank you for the video. So awesome.
I have a question: Is this dicer able to dice tomatoes without squishing it?
I think your problem is that you cut the items too narrow & should try to fill out the feeder tube to prevent things from getting pulled in sideways.
I'm liking your review but you should not have used your mini it was way too underpowered from what the motor sound like
I'm not familiar with the kitchen aid Mini so I don't know what it's wodage in torque ratings are but my Kenmore elite which is built by Whirlpool/kitchen aid doesn't seem to struggle or process things as slowly as that little yellow One did. All kitchen aid stand mixer attachments also fit all Kenmore elite model stand mixers They both have motors with hubs built by Whirlpool.
It would be easier with a knife. Thanks for video🤗 it was so useful for me.
You aren’t to push the vegetables down hard just put the veg. In it doesnt need to use the pusher most of the time.
What a piece of crap! Hope you bought the 1 day extended warranty!
Seriously. Be smarter than the carrots. And use a bowl. My god.
Nice demonstration.
Glad you liked it!
@@bestkitchenreviews I did. I liked how you showed different aspects of it without sugarcoating it. Unfortunately I saw this video after the purchase. I wished I had seen earlier.
Great video. It shows the attachment for what it truly is. An absolute impractical and useless piece of shit. You can purchase a Kitchenaid stand alone processor for less money than the crappy attachment version. I have a Kitchenaid KPM5 machine. Excellent product, but some of the attachments such as citrus juicer etc are ridiculous and overpriced
looking again....I'm thinking the mini - will not produce like the more powerful machines?
That thing is not worth $250.00
Glad I watched this first. Definitely not worth the trouble.
I purchased the same attachment in 2014 and I'm experiencing all the same problems. The machine gets clogged and stopped working I have put the cheese refrigerator and that doesn't help matters either. This is the worst KitchenAid I bought. I telephoned customer service and they were absolutely no help....
+Elsa LaVecchia Hi Elsa, thanks for sharing your experience:)
I bought this and had a terrible experience with this !! To be honest... Not recommended to anyone to buy!! Worst product of the KitchenAid!! I had to buy a food processor separately to do this kind of work for me. Thanks for the video for demonstrating the issues as well!
Too many at once will cause problems. Less sometimes is faster! LOL
Should have used the food chute. I've seen excellent results using the two different sizes for different type of vegetables.
I was so excited to receive my dicing kit a few weeks ago. It jammed up immediately with my carrots and potatoes!!! My recipe took me an extra hour because of so much time trying to unjam!!! I'm so unhappy!!!!!
I was about to purchase this attachment but I was not impressed by it's efficiency. I have a Magimix food processor which performs much better. The motor on the stand mixer sounded like it was under strain and I would be concerned that you could burn it out.
The kitchenaid mixer is only 250 watts. You can see that it doing the work, but hard on the motor. I also find it work better to turn on mixer to get the speed going before dropping the fruits or vegetables. Yes, I do own one and the food processor is wonderful. So if you planning to get the food processor, just make sure you have an bigger mixer. I am not blaming on this women, she does an fantastic job. I have learn a lot from her. Thank you......
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
bestkitchenreviews is brilliant at what she does. I love watching her videos also
She has the motor set on a lower setting and also she is just cramming food through it. It’s no difference than using a table saw and forcing wood through it. You burn the blade up and it becomes dull, with this you should let the processor do it at its own pace via the amount of speed you command it to.
I had this and sent it back! My food processor worked Much easier and quicker I ended up sending it back but I love me KA mixer
I got this attachment as a gift. It has been sitting on the shelf as I didn't feel like reading the manual. Pretty thick for a kitchen appliance. You did a great job with this.....covering all of the blades. Other videos I saw did not even have the camera angle where you could see what the user was doing inside the attachment. I also like that you don't have a lot of extra chit chat.... you covered a lot of material. Thank you :-)
Thanks for the wonderful comments! Glad the video was helpful 😀
I just bought this attachment second hand for a very good price, tried the julienne cutter first - a total disaster with all kind of different veggies :-((( came here to see reviews and saw not a single review where the julienne cutter performs decently.
And your review of all of the attachment is the best to be found on youtube by far !!!
You gave the julienne different tries and were even not over critical of it in the end ....
I also agree that the dicer is the best one of all the blades and accessories.
Had similar problems with the other blades just like you had including the size of the slices being too thick for the thinniest option.
My biggest criticism is in regard to the overall alignment of the attachment to the mixer: It is too heavy to be a stabile counterbalance forthe standard Artisan. It needs only a small additional weight or tipping on the attachment and the Artisan lifts up in the big.
Plus, pressing hard vegetables through the blades - even when done with highest caution and attention - makes the attachment slightly bent, which makes me worried each time that it might break off.
The book with the instructions is a total catastrophy and done by s.o. who seems to have not done any research on how manuals for electronics are usually done.
The case for the blades - however - is quite a master piece, very well designed to help with easy and quick organising and storing.
The blades themselves seem good quality, very sturdy and well made.
I have the feeling that there were different design teams involved in developing this attachment. The sum of their work coming together does not cut the cake.
Thanks for sharing 😀
The julienne disc works great for me. All of it does.
The food prep slider/slicer goes through carrots easier
Very useful demonstration. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
THUMP DOWN NOT TO YOU,TO KITCHEN AID PROCESSOR,I PUT IT ASIDE 😕😕😕
I Love my mixer...just want to get even more out of it. This is the review I have been looking for. Not biased for or against the product. I saw this online and wanted one for Christmas...glad I did not get it because I am sure I would not have used it after the first time. I hope you have reviewed other Kitchenaid attachments so I can get a feel for them before I possibly make a mistake. Thank you!
I like the Pasta Roller and two cutters --- but I like making pasta noodles, spaghetti & lasagna. I do not have the pasta extruder and have doubts about it working well. If you like snow cones the ice shaver is fun to use. I like the ice cream freezer with the new improved dasher. I prefer the BeaterBlade over the flex-edge beater--it has better mixing-scraping action. The sifter/scale works better in the video and no where else! It does not remove lumps be the screen is too big! I do like the spiralizer for peeling and slicing as well as making veggie noodles. The sheet cutter I have no use for, too much is wasted. I have a great food processor so no use for the fresh prep attachment in my kitchen.
KA should have made a bowl to go with it with the correct height to alleviate issues with product safety that look obvious with this unit. Go get the real deal. Would be interesting to know the gear material nylon or metal, I don't see longevity with this unit forget about safety. Kitchen aid back to the drawing board. Would have been a perfect fit for the 1970's.
""u should get a stand alone processor" yep if that is what you want to use, but the advantage i see is the pass through nature of the unit which would allow for some big ass containers under it if you are processing a ton of pickles , and my mixer never leaves the counter anyway so i don't have to drag out a second appliance. looks like a labor saver to me.
For the julienne demo, the vegetables might have been better laying on horizontal in the tube resulting in longer strips more similar to julienne expected.
I forgot to say thank you for the demonstration. It was very helpful. I have one of these on order.
Very helpful, thank you!
Wow, I like your video!! Your have a light that is very warm and audience friendly!! Lol! Keep on doing the good work!!
Hi Connstance, thanks so much for your positive comments :)
Are you going to review blender or milk frother?
Here is a list of blenders I've reviewed, including two KitchenAids: ua-cam.com/play/PLzun5Kt3JnhPrmdJ1Hsq_-yGS4yVKUXJZ.html
I have reviewed milk frothers that were included with some coffee makers, not a milk frother alone.
Wow, that is great!! I will watch it soon. Thanks. I emailed you just now, could you please check your mail box? Thank you :)
I like your video too- very relax, clear instructions. The angle of the videoing is perfect too; very good to judge the performance/effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the machine ourselves. Thx
This really seems more like a slicer/dicer/chopper
It’s nit a chopper though. It has no S blade to chop, like a normal food processor has. I don’t know how they got away with calling this a food processor!
Great video ...i will not buy this product it was making your job harder not easier and that motor Sounds like it was straining.with attachment on
Great video ! But doesn't look like it has any power .
Thanks for sharing 😀
Ya but she only has a mini kitchenaide running that attachment. It works better with a full size mixer
Great review bestkitchenreviews, but I definitely would not buy this product
+Carol Binnie Thanks :)
Tomato is a fruit.
it is a real mess.
264.95CDN$
You just saved me 264.95$cdn
Nooooooooooooo Way will I buy this slice
I have the KitchenAid Professional 500
maybe my machine is stronger, but no willing to risk it.
I'll PASS
On QVC, the lady who did the demonstration did not seem to have any problems at all. Idon't understand...????? Will I buy one or not???
Thats because she used a full size mixer not the mini this lady is using. Her mixer is under powered
Hi! I've been binge watching your videos! It's really great to see a good appliance review. May I ask if you have heard of the gourmia power dicer and if you could do one! Been searching through your channel but don't seem to find it probably there's no video of it. Great job on all your videos! I love it!
Thanks for the wonderful comments! Will look onto the dicer 😀
Seems like a lot of work... i will try a few other videos before I decide. It may be worthwhile to spend more money and buy the food processor with dicing attachment.
Thank you for reviewing this. What a waste of money and time.
I received this food processor as a gift. I won't complain about it because I didn't have to pay for it. This review was a great help to me and I was able to make Pesto by processing first then using my stand mixer to finish my pesto. You have a great voice for reviewing and great editing skills! The lighting is on point! :)
Love how real this video is. Amazing!
I love my KitchenAid Artisan blender but with any of the attachments, I refuse to buy them.
The only attachment I’ve chosen to get (years after buying my KitchenAid) and has for sure added value for me, is the shredder/slicer. It’s not as bulky as most of the other attachments and it’s definitely something I use quite a lot!
@@Jess_Smith0903
The pasta maker looks fun to me! If I owned a KA mixer, that would be the attachment I’d want! :)
I purchased one of these and the lid would not stay latched so it would stop working every time--very annoying. Needless to say, I returned it. Don't waste your money. KitchenAid has problems with a lot of their food processors. The older models were much better and easier to clean. These new ones have so many parts and pieces that you may as well use a knife or grater because you don't save time after all the cleanup.
Cutting peppers is one of the main reasons I want a processor. That test total failed. I'll keep looking.
this was a HUGE help... thank you for sharing! Just got this ensemble for Christmas and looking forward to start using all it's features... :-)
Happy it was helpful, Laura :)
Thanks for your efforts! Mine has been sitting in cabinet for years and after this video it is moving to my daughter’s house. She has a stand mixer and I wish her better luck.
Gostei 👏😃
My problem is I can't even attach this food processor to my KitchenAid 6 quart Pro! Love the mixer! but I need to attach the food processor -wish I knew how to do it! She makes it looks so easy.
This KitchenAid food processor attachment is advertised as being able to attach to ANY KitchenAid mixer.
Load the hopper widest side down. It is obvious this attachment has its issues. Especially when the weight is offset.
Freeze the cheese.... say it like Mr. Rogers. You're welcome.
I was going to buy this but after watching this video it looks like way too much trouble than it's worth. :( I wish this demo was done with at least a 375 watt machine
Looks like you can do all of this in less time and hassle with a chef's knife and box grater.
I love mine, especially when using dehydrator.
