Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Viking VFP12BR Food Processor Bright Red
Customer Review: Simply the best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Viking food processor is definitely the best one I've ever owned. I use food processors to grate a lot of cheese and to chop a lot of vegetables and other food.
Over the last 15 years, I've gone through about five Cuisinarts. The reason is that when I grate softer cheese (mozzarella, jarlsberg, etc.), the cheese gets wedged between the lid and the grating wheel and eventually cracks and breaks the lid and the other components. That's why I decided to try something new to see if I could get it to last longer.
The Viking processor feels like a heavier-duty unit than any of the Cuisinarts I've ever used. The base feels solid, the dial (pulse and continuous) is heavy duty, and the bowl components are made of a much heavier gauge plastic and metal than any other unit I've seen.
So why will this unit last when the others haven't? It has a safety system built in to prevent the lid from cracking. The grating wheels don't go all the way to the edge of the bowl, which allows any small amounts of cheese remaining to get shot out to the side of the bowl instead of getting wedged in between the bowl and the lid. This little feature is INCREDIBLE! The unit then suffers almost no wear and tear so it should hopefully last for decades.
The VFP12BR comes with an upright case to hold the three double-sided grating wheels that come with the unit, giving you a total of six grating and slicing wheels of all different kinds. It also comes with a smaller bowl and three chopping blades as well (two steel and one plastic).
The safety system is also much more simple and direct than the Cuisinart system. It looks like there isn't much to break, which is awesome.
So, by all appearances, I have purchased my last Cuisinart for a very, very long time. I can't recommend this unit highly enough.
