KitchenAid 13 Cup Food Processor, Silver Contour

purchased this before the holidays and we used it to the max for all of our cooking needs. We used all the different blades and options that came with the product. I only wish we had an option to get the dough blade as this version does not come with the dough blade and I can't find out how to purchase just the dough blade. Excellent power and performs as advertised.

Thos product was so complicated me or my daughter could not figure it out. Lots of money with the blade used the most missing.So many pieces to put together to make it work and no 0k top was very fragile.

Quality is good. Easily cleaned. Love it.

I have always loved my KitchenAid products. I made this purchase a year or so ago and got exactly the model I wanted. I really wanted the dicing blade, and also the self-storage features. The dicing blade works great. The self-storage required some major training, but both my husband and I can now get it tucked away in minutes. The only disappointment was when the latch broke off, making the using of this food processor a 2-person job! I was so disappointed and couldn't find parts to just replace the top piece that held the latch anywhere. Then, a few weeks later, I spotted the same unit for sale on Amazon, but without the dicing blade and extra accessories. Since it was Amazon Day also, the price was cheaper... We decided it was worth buying this lesser feature model to use as "replacement parts". It was a splurge for us. I am VERY careful now with how we run the processor, being extra cautious so as to not break off another latch. If it happens again, we'll likely have to say goodbye to KitchenAid Food Processors. Buyer beware!

I was very excited to be replacing my 6 cup Cuisinart food processor with this 13 cup KitchenAid model. My Cuisinart lasted for many years. The KitchenAid model seemed well thought out. All the parts and accessories store in the bowl. The top seemed a little flimsy, as it used plastic joints to hold the lid to the bowl. On my 3rd, shredding a block of cheese, the KitchenAid had a catastrophic failure. The entire thing destroyed itself!! Somehow the plastic gears that connect the motor to the bowl sheered off. The gears for the grating disc broke in half and the point of contact between the shaft and lid broke as well. Hopefully this model was just defective. I haven’t seen something so poorly and cheaply made, from a brand that mades many long-lasting, dependable appliances, like my KitchenAid mixer. For $200, I expected a much better product from this product.
