Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor with 3-Cup Mini Bowl, Onyx Black
Customer Review: Good Food Prep Tool
Summary: 4 Stars
I've never had a food processor, so I don't have an opinion based on years of use. I bought this recently and love it. It's easy to clean--the parts can be popped easily in the dishwasher and the rest is easily wiped down. I love that the buttons are easy to use, and it really isn't that hard to set up once you get the hang of it. I leave it on my counter but it's not too hefty to put it away if you want. It shreds things like spinach like a breeze and chops heavier items like beans and sun dried tomatoes just as easily. It does get full rather quickly, but I didn't want a larger capacity because it's only the two of us. So if I have a lot I can just do it in batches and it works fine. I have not used the smaller work bowl yet but I like having it; if I were to make a very small sample of something it would come in handy. Overall, I am glad I purchased it and would recommend it.Customer Review: So far. so good. I like it a lot.
Summary: 5 Stars
Have had the Kitchen Aid KFP720OB 7-cup with 3-cup mini for ~2 mos., and I'm still learning, as it's my first food processor. The original small blade scored the sides of the mini bowl, but I called KA customer service, and both the blade and bowl were replaced immediately at no cost. KA even sent a postage label for returning the defective parts. I use both blades and both bowls almost daily but haven't used the slicing/shredding blade. The machine is quiet, powerful, doesn't move about on the counter, and everything is easy to clean (I have no dishwasher). The closest thing I have to a complaint is that the large bowl is a little difficult to remove. Perhaps I just haven't figured it out yet. All in all, I'm very happy with this processor. I think it does what it's supposed to do, and customer service was excellent.Customer Review: Lovin' My First Ever Food Processor
Summary: 5 Stars
The closest I ever came to owning a food processor was a Salad Shooter (remember those?), which drove me nuts with the volume of parts to keep track of. As much as I'm not fond of hand-chopping food, I figured a knife was much easier to manage (and clean) than a food processor would be. I recently got a hankering, though, and began my research. Since there are just two of us, I knew I didn't need lots of bells and whistles, nor did I need or want a bunch of attachments, i.e. for breadmaking, etc. I wanted basic but quality, and this KitchenAid fits my requirements perfectly. It's solid, it's not ear-crushing noisy, and it does exactly what I need it to do quickly and without fuss. Chop stuff with a knife? What was I thinking? For the price, this is a great machine, and I would highly recommend it.Customer Review: Easy to use, Thin slices, Great pizza dough
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this machine! This seven cup processor Slices evenly, instantly, and Chops great, into tiny tiny pieces if needed. Salads are lovely when the cucumbers, peppers, tomato and onion are sliced so finely and evenly. The three cup smaller bowl was included, and I used it once, to chop up one clove of garlic, which it did quite nicely. I used this processor many times since I have had it, and find the size quite convenient, for my two person family. It does not come with a dough hook, but the regular blade worked fine for mixing dough. One thing, with this size, they don't make attachments, such as the citrus juicer, but I don't care since I have a separate juicer. I read every review here before I bought, shopped everywhere, and did not see any better deal than this.Customer Review: Good processor with questionable build quality
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this processor for about 8 months in which time it worked great. I used it on a regular basis and it does exactly what you'd expect. The base is heavy and of good build quality. However, after 8 months the 7 cup bowl's handle broke, rendering the processor useless. How the handle broke was a mystery, because it hadn't been dropped or knocked. While looking to order a replacement I discovered that the handle breaking is a known issue with this processor and many people were complaining about it. The good news is that Kitchen Aid's customer service was great and sent a replacement out straight away, I didn't even have to send the old one back. So far this one has fared better, but if something is a known issue a long term fix should be in place and so far there isn't.
