Komen Pink KitchenAid 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processors KFP750PK

I love my kitchenaid food processor. It is very powerful and the two bowls are very convenient. I keep it out on my counter so I can use it every time I cook. The storage case for the blades is very convenient (instead of sharp blades floating around in my untensil drawer). From the moment I took it out of the box I was a little in awe at how well made everything felt. Nothing about this machine is cheaply made ( Well, except the spatula that it comes with, which is very cheap and basically useless.)

I read a lot of reviews before purchaseing this item, and some of the things mentioned almost changed my mind. I find that it really does do a good job so I wanted to address some of the things I read about it:

1. Contents of the top bowl leaks into the bottom bowl: I have not experienced this. I have done everything from chopping herbs/garlic in the top bowl to making sauces (ie. tzatziki or veggie dip) in the top bowl, and never had a drop leak out to the bottom bowl. I think that the leaking some people report might be from overfilling the top bowl... in which case just use the bottom bowl.

2. Liquid in the big bowl leaks out ot the counter: I have not experienced this, though I am careful to watch where the 'max fill line' is. If I wanted to puree a soup or something larger than that amount, I just do it in batches or use a blender instead.

3. The bowls scratch easily: This is true. The first time I washed the big bowl i used the back side of a scrubber sponge, and it left scratch marks all over the bowl. To me, this isn't really a big deal, and most plastic does scratch the same way.

Hope that helps any potential buyers out there!

Appliances that earn my affection tend to be viewed as entities with personalities. I'm pretty sure they perform better when they know you really like them for themselves. My KitchenAid stand mixer, for instance, has been known as the Blue Beast for years and she is the steadiest, sturdiest helper in the kitchen. Just last month I added the chrome KitchenAid food processor to the family so now BeeBee and the Silver Streak are my Go To Team.

I have extremely limited counter space -- less than two square feet on either side of the sink. The food processor get the real estate on the right and I think it's worth every square inch. Because it's conveniently accessible, it gets used constantly. Because it's strategically located, it's a snap to wash up.

Perhaps I've gone a bit out of my way to test the Streak but I figured that was the best way to let him strut his stuff. So far he's done everything I've asked and done it well. It's nice to discover speed doesn't compromise quality. Vegetables are chopped evenly, cheese is shredded in the astonished blink of an eye, cashew butter appears magically from the rubble of crushed nuts and, unbelievably, a perfect blob of bread dough is created in less than 2 minutes. (And, yes, the bread bakes as light and tender as if I'd kneaded it for half an hour.)

There have been absolutely none of the problems mentioned by other viewers -- no leakage from either bowl, no blades going berserk and chewing up plastic, no difficulties cleaning nooks and crannies. The only curious thing is that sometimes when I go to lift off the big work bowl, I find a suction has built up, holding it in place. Easily remedied -- jiggle the blade and lift it just a bit and the suction is broken, releasing the bowl.

Thank you, KitchenAid, for making such a wonderful and truly helpful appliance. Thank you, Amazon, for putting it on sale so I could finally get one for myself.

I have had the 760 KitchenAid Food Processor for about a month now. It's my third Food Processor over a period of 25 years or so. My first was a Cuisinart which was a good enough machine that lasted many years, then just wore out. The second was a Black and Decker: much less expensive and boy, did it show. It was LOUD. It danced all over the counter, and worst of all, the plastic housing cracked at the places where the bowl snapped on, rendering the machine useless. So...after doing some research with Consumer Reports, which named KitchenAid as the best brand of the lot, I chose this one.
Honestly, the 12 cup size is bigger than I really need, as I only cook for three now. However, the attachments that come exclusively with this model, make me glad I chose it. I got an extra full sized bowl. This was great on Thanksgiving. I could process in the mini bowl, large bowl, and outer bowl without having to stop and wash bowls in between. Very handy!

I have never owned a stand mixer, so I love the egg whisk on this machine. It means I can whip egg whites stiffly to fold into cake batter without stopping to wash my handmixer beaters.
And...the citrus juicer. My hands are beginning to be arthritic, and when I'm squeezing half a dozen lemons for a recipe, it will save alot of stress and time. (It has a strainer built in to catch large pulp and seeds...I love products that show alot of thought went into them.)I also got the nice accessory box which is extra expense on smaller machines.

This machine is very quiet. Very powerful. All the standard shredders, slicers, etc. work very well. I like the fact that I got two slicers, one for thin and one for medium thin.
I had read in other reviews about the problem with processing liquids. I don't understand why this is, but I was relieved to see that there is a fill line on the outer bowl, so as long as you're paying attention, you shouldn't have trouble, not to mention how large the capacity of this machine is.
There was a learning curve. This machine is a bit more complicated to assemble and run than my other two. But after a half dozen uses, it's becoming second nature. Not a big deal.
So...yes, it's big. And if your counter space is at a premium, by all means, get a smaller one. It's certainly too large to be lifting in and out of a lower cabinet very often. That being said, though, I am glad I bought this model and expect to enjoy it for many years

After comparing the various food processors in store and online from the reviews my decision was very simple: I went with the KitchenAid over the Cuisinart. After having used it several times I am very happy with my purchase. First made a marinara and used the shredder for the carrots and that went so fast and smooth I was in disbelief. Then I reassembled it with the main blade and threw in the tomatoes, onion and garlic and everything was minced down to almost a puree status almost immediately with very little sound. A dead bang winner in my book.

Then I made fresh butter. Threw in the heavy cream and turned it on and within a few minutes the butter had separated from the liquid (or buttermilk). I was floored at how easy and fast everything went.

The unit itself is a decent weight and feels very sturdy, which tells me that it is a well made unit. The bowl and blades cleaned easily between my different projects, which is a bonus, especially since each on their own presents their own difficulties in cleaning in any situation. The extra pieces storage case is a nice addition and will help keep me organized.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this food processor. I also own their mixer and have not had a problem in the nearly 6 years that I have owned it, so I don't picture anything happening with this unit. A definite recommend.
