KitchenAid - 13-Cup Food Processor with French Fry Disc and Dicing Kit (KFP1320CU)

See if you can buy a used Cuisinart on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or a local buy/sell page. I have (and love) my 13-cup KitchenAid ExactSlice food processor which was a thrift store find. But KitchenAid no longer sells the dicing kit, and the kits are stupidly expensive on eBay. So if you expect to do a lot of dicing, I believe Cuisinart would be the better option.

I have a kitchenaid one that I've had 25 years. I did have to buy a replacement lid on eBay a couple of years ago because I dropped it and cracked it.

Look for food processors with add ones, I've had a ninja and a kitchen aid and both came with a grating disk. I rarely use it because it's messy, but when I do it works wonders.

Don't be. Kitchen aid is way better, it's powerful and fast, but it's pricier. The ninja is comfortable to use and easy to clean, not as powerful and will get the job done.

We have a large KitchenAid food processor with a variety of discs and blades, but mainly use a Ninja 3-cup food chopper instead. I loathe the texture of cooked zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers, but am fine with the taste. So, finely chopping those veggies and disguising them in lasagna works great. A mini chopper also does well for dicing onions, making salsa, and repurposing pot roast to make enchiladas and meat pies. When looking for a small food chopper, get one that has blades going up the spinning vertical shaft ... not just a pair of blades at the bottom. My previous mini chopper with a pair of blades at the bottom just mauled the vegetables. The Ninja one has four blades. It is actually an attachment for an immersion blender power stick, but I believe the company makes free-standing models. I have not checked to see what companies make similar mini choppers.

Ich habe mir vor einem Vierteljahrhundert eine Kitchen Aid geholt und das nie bereut. Die funktioniert immer noch super, einen Knethaken hab ich über die Jahre geschrottet. Zubehör gibt's nicht nur von KitchenAid selbst, du kriegst auch "Generika". Ich würde sie immer wieder kaufen, vorausgesetzt, sie hat einen Platz, wo sie stehen bleiben kann. Hin- und Herräumen ist dann schon aufwendiger.

I have a KitchenAid food processor that is almost 20 years old. You can pick up used good-quality food processors on Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the original price. It's hard to go wrong with KitchenAid, Cuisinart, or Breville.

I have the Cuisinart and it's pretty meh. It chops okay but has a tendency to get gummed up around the bowl and needs scraping down. I think I'd buy the kitchenaid again if given the chance. We used to have an older model of that one but I burned out the motor on pizza dough.

I have the 13, too, and I love it! It has so many great functions, too. I like to bulk chop onions, because I hate chopping them by hand. The fixing attachment has been a game changer for me.

Can't go wrong with either the Cuisinart or kitchen-aid. I have a Cuisinart that has worked great for many years. I use it pretty often and occasionally make pie crust with it. I probably use it the most to cut veggies - it's pretty handy.

It looks like my kitchen aid. I like it but it is small. Works for me because we're 2 people and I mostly use it to make sauces and pastes

Every brand I've owned leaves an end chunk of veggie or cheese. I've had Braun, Cuisinart, & now GE. My dil's Kitchenaid leaves an end chunk too. I like my GE. It isn't as fiddly as my old Cuisinart, cleans with a soapy rinse, & is just more convenient to use. It's only 6 pounds (has suction cups on the bottom to keep it in place). So if someone else is working in the kitchen, I can move it easily to the other counter. It's not a perfectly precise slicer/shredder/chopper. But I need speed & convenience & good enough, not perfection. I use it way more than I did the expensive Cuisinart, & have learned its quirks & how to get the best out of it.

Note: my GE doesn't have an adjustable slicing blade like a Breville or Kitchenaid.

I love mine. I have the 13 or 14 cup (not sure) I upgraded from 2 smaller ones because I got tired of having both. I use mine almost everyday because I do a lot of bulk stuff like pesto and tomato sauces, etc.

Cuisinart food processor. Vitamix blender. Vitamix Emersion blender. Good quality kitchen knifes. Cookbooks. Food dehydrator. Vacuum sealer. Sous vide wand. If you are getting a kitchen stand mixer you will want a larger one if you have space for it. Small ones are useful but he will outgrown it if making bread or a double batch of cookies. If you can tell us the kinds of food he makes and you location that would help Edit: I have a kitchenaide food processor and it does the task very well.

It is the small KitchenAid but a few years ago. I have two, a big and a small and I love them.

My kitchen aid one is nice. It does its job, is easy to clean and it's also quite pretty.

Oh, sorry, English is not my first language. I was referring that either one, when buying look for the ones that come with a grating disk. There's a kitchenaid grating disk with two sides. The ninja food processor comes with a chopping and grating disk all in one.

It depends on your needs. My Blendtec high-speed blender saw the light maybe once a month for years. Then I developed some dietary restrictions and a need to eat a great deal of cooked vegetables. Now it's in constant use for making pureed soups, sunflower cream, and no-mato paste. Similarly, I went 50 years disliking food processors as noisy and not worth the cleanup. I found knife work satisfying, peaceful, and part of what I love about cooking. Now, though, I have health problems that bring fatigue, poor stamina, painful knees, and so many food intolerances that I have to cook nearly everything I eat. I've finally gotten a food processor, and I really like it. It's fast, quiet, and versatile, and it can shave fennel translucent- thin. Sure, the dicing kit isn't as precise or flexible as knife work, but it's fine for most things and it's terrifyingly fast. It lets me do more, and that's what I need right now. I like the food processor for its flexibility. I got a Kitchenaid 13 cup with adjustable slicing thickness and a dicing kit. I can use it for chopping, dicing, shredding, mixing dough, and slicing a good range of thicknesses. If you're looking for the most bang fit your buck, it's not a bad choice. But really, think about what you most want to do in the kitchen and what would best help you achieve it. For the past 50 years, what I wanted to do was cut things by hand. I got a good knife and I was set. Now I want to stand less and cook more, so I have a shiny red prep chef friend.
