Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KFP715ER 7-Cup Food Processor, Red
Customer Review: A Great Little Food Processor!
Summary: 5 Stars
The folks who designed this food processor deserve a lot of credit. They came up with a great little appliance.
Key points:
It is easy to clean! What can't be thrown in the dishwasher is easy to wipe clean.
It is a convenient size. Processes enough food for several people, but stores easily.
It is powerful. Slices, mixes and grates just about anything without a problem.
It is simple. Goes together and comes apart easily.
The price is right. You get a very solid and useful food processor for your money.
Most important -- it is safe. It won't turn on unless it is properly assembled. (Recently I've seen some cheap knock-off kitchen appliances -- especially a blender -- that were NOT safe! They should not be on the market, but they are. Think twice about bargain off-brand appliances!)
Can I pick at anything? Sure. No appliance is perfect.
It is surprisingly heavy for its small size. But that's probably due to quality construction.
The slicing/grating disk can be a bit hard to disassemble. And you have to be careful -- it is sharp!
The slicing/grating disk can flex during processing if you press down too hard. (Solution -- don't press down too hard!)
Food can get impacted inside the cap behind the feed chute. Takes a bit of fussing with the rubber scraper to clean.
But, overall, you get a good, handy appliance for a fair price. One that should last you a long time and give you great service.
And no, I don't work for Kitchen Aid, or have any other tie to the company. But I do think people deserve credit when they do a good job!
Update July 13, 2010
The bad news, it is possible to break this unit by lifting it wrong. If you get in the habit of picking it up by the food container's handle, the plastic coupling on the upper housing will eventually break. I found that out the hard way.
The good news, I was able to repair it, although I had to replace the whole upper housing to do it. That ran into money, and also required skills the average Joe Homeowner isn't going to have. Still, now that it has been repaired, it continues to shred and slice wonderfully. It has plenty of power and it remains super-easy to clean.
I'm not going to downgrade my rating. I was abusing the unit, and I should have known it. Also I was also picking it up and moving it every time I used it, which most users probably won't do. I can't really criticize the designers for failing to totally idiot-proof their product.
So always lift this food processor by the base of the unit, and it will last a very, very long time.
