Customer Review: Stick with Cuisinart!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll start by saying that my previous experience with food processors was primarily with Cuisinart. I love Cuisinart food processors, the only reason I decided to switch was because my significant other could not understand why I wouldn't even consider Kitchenaid, insinuating that I was being closed minded. After defending my position with the refrain "Kitchenaid does mixers, Cuisinart does food processors!" I decided maybe he was right and looked into the Kitchenaid out of curiosity. I was impressed by the reviews here, and duly impressed by the fact that this model came with a juicing attachment and a small bowl. I was thoroughly wooed, and so I ordered one. After having used itor 6 months all I can say is stick with Kitchenaid for your mixing, but steer clear when it comes to their food processors! I have come to hate this thing.
Now for the details of my fervent dislike. The first, and biggest problem from the start was that the design is not intuitive. I keep my food processor out on the counter and use it often - I am a very active cook,and my kitchen is designed to work efficiently and effectively;any appliance that warrants counter space has got to be a pleasure to use. Instead, the Kitchenaid is a pain in the @**! I read the manual carefully when I first opened it up, noting the differences between my old and new machines. Just to get the thing set up for first use took 1/2 an hour because it was so counter-intuitive. Next, all those extra gadgets and bowls just get in the way. If you store the bowls nested together, it's an extra step to remove them and then re-set up when you want to work. If you store them elsewhere, they're bulky and take up more space than I want to give them for as little as they're used.
I haven't even used the juicing attachment because it seems like such a hassle to set up! I should have returned the thing the week after I got it because it only got worse.
Very little of the wide-mouth tube is actually functional! Sure it's wide, but if you can't use all the height you've got to do extra work. In order for the machine to turn on when you are working, you must have the food pusher inserted more than half way into the tube this is very inconvenient. Again, every little step that requires you to break your rythym in the kitchen is not merely a waste of a few seconds, it lessens the pleasure of the process.
The final straw came this morning when I was inspired to make a quick batch of carrot muffins. I work at home, and so this meant a little break from my work, but I decided I could make them up in about half an hour and it would be a nice break. WRONG. Assembling the machine to shred the carrots took 15 minutes! Even then, the blade would not spin when I was done. Why did it take 15 minutes you ask? Not because I am an idiot (I promise, I have no trouble with DVD players, laptops, even self-assembling small furniture!) No, after trying to put it together using common sense for 5 minutes, I had to dig out the manual. The manual was no help. I followed the very simple instructions, placed my carrots in the tube (for the fourth time) and turned the machine on. No grating occured. Instead, tiny plastic shaving appeared in the work bowl. What happened? I still don't know, but I am done wasting time trying to figure it out. I grated the carrots by hand (a 10 minute task since I had already cut all the carrots into 3 inch lengths!) The muffins are done, but I spent an hour just prepping them. This is absurd.
My Cuisinart was simple. It made sense. I never had to refer to the manual after my first read through. Even my mother uses her Cuisinart with complete ease (and she has difficulty with these sorts of things . . . ) When I wanted to process something, I quickly chose the proper blade, inserted it and began my work. Sure, there were a few occasions when it didn't turn on right away because something wasn't fully locked into place, but I never hated it!
If you have ever used a Cuisinart, do not buy this Kitchenaid food processor - you will be sorely dissappointed. If you are new to high end food processors you won't know the difference, you'll probably think this thing is great - it's like saying you love chocolate when you've only ever tasted Hershey's . . . try a little Valrohna and you really start to understand what all the fuss is about!
