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

I will just say good luck with the minimal plastic.    Have you looked into kitchenaid food processors?

Yes.  That was the one I was thinking about.   I know they also used to make a food processor attachment for the stand mixer.  

I bought the kitchenaid one from bestbuy- tested for a few days. It failed on every front. Cuisinart custom 14 or breville sous chef 12.

Mid sized kitchenaid, make sure there is a dicing attachment!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I wondered if I would use it very often, but after I got my food processor, I use it all the time, for all kinds of things. I have had a Cuisinart (with a French-sounding name but made in China. I usually have nothing against things made in China, but in this case, there was a big difference) and a Kitchenaid. I much prefer the Kitchenaid.

I have one and it's great! Is indeed kitchenaid. Can be used cord free and charged by plugging in so extremely convenient for those of us with limited space/limited plugs :)

Have a kitchen aid food processor that I love.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ha e seit 8 Jahren die Bosch mum 4 und Diverses Zubehör dafür angehäuft. Imho das mit Abstand beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Mit einer KitchenAid machst du auch nichts verkehrt. Da habe ich den food processor von und auch schon den Kundenservice in Anspruch genommen. War eine halbwegs positive Erfahrung.

Kitchen aid; comes with tons of slicing attachment etc. Very sturdy and durable; I’ve had mine for well over a decade.

Bin mit meiner Kitchenaid sehr zufrieden.

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.
