Even she is having issues with this! Looks like it is more trouble than it is worth. Glad I watched this before I wasted my money. Thank you.

Thanks for showing what a train wreck this attachment is! You just saved me some money. Ill go with a different attachment and keep my old processor. 👍🏻

I just got mine today and test it and i really like it! I have develop arthritis in my hands and its painful to chop lately. This tool makes the job fun and fast. I have the large mixer and it was strong and super fast. I do a lot of canning and preserving and i can do quantity in no time. It’s a keeper for sure

Her biggest problem is she has it on too low a speed, you can hear the motor lugging.. With carrots, alternate big and little ends down. I've had mine for 5 years and love it! I don't take near as long as she does to do things. Definitely pack peppers and other softer foods into shoot so they don't flop around.

I actually love this attachment and I use it all the time. I especially appreciate the dicing function. I also have a stand alone 11 cup food processor but it doesn't dice.

I recently bought this attachment set second hand and I definitely advise the stand alone food processor. Even second hand, it's so impractical it feels like I wasted money. I experience all the issues she did here, with a 6 quart Pro model so it's not a mini issue.

Great video, honest in what actually happens when trying to slice and dice with this food processor. I only wish I had seen this video before I bought the attachments. Thanks!

Awesome review!!! But with hard vegetables such as carrots, I would turn on the stand mixer first because I think the blades are supposed to balance out before you start processing. Also I would process carrots one at a time.

Loved this review! All the questions I had in mind were answered in your video…even let me know that there are recipes! Thank you so much! I’m going to give it a try and if it doesn’t work for me I will send it back that’s all. I won’t know if I don’t try. The chat has given me some food for thought as well!

I think this is the best invention. Cant wait to go buy mine today at Kohls. Thank you for honest video. I'm more skilled at using appliances...

Thanks for your efforts! Mine has been sitting in cabinet for years and after this video it is moving to my daughter’s house. She has a stand mixer and I wish her better luck.

I received this food processor as a gift. I won't complain about it because I didn't have to pay for it. This review was a great help to me and I was able to make Pesto by processing first then using my stand mixer to finish my pesto. You have a great voice for reviewing and great editing skills! The lighting is on point! :)

I got this attachment as a gift. It has been sitting on the shelf as I didn't feel like reading the manual. Pretty thick for a kitchen appliance. You did a great job with this.....covering all of the blades. Other videos I saw did not even have the camera angle where you could see what the user was doing inside the attachment. I also like that you don't have a lot of extra chit chat.... you covered a lot of material. Thank you :-)

You should have alternated the carrots stacked in the feed tube being wide and narrow or just use the narrow feed tube. It would not have taken much more time to process one carrot at a time. Bell pepper pieces should have been sliced to give the strips you were seeking. The julienne disc is meant for beets, squash, carrots, & sweet potato. Great to see how the dicing upgrade works. Thank you for the review & demonstration.

I saw few videos from KitchenAid which looked so beautiful and was about to buy this, but this video really saved my money, glad I saw this video, thank you so much for this product review

An obscenely honest video ... great job!!! I've been wanting to buy this for a long time, but I think I'll hold off. For two reasons, my wife is not fond of the idea, and it will be hard to sell it to her :) She is a ninja fan for pretty much everything, except cake / cookie / bread making.

All in having experience. Just alternate the ends of the carrots and it will work fine. Half with the fat side up, and half with the fat side down. No Problems

Great demo and review! I'm not really impressed with this attachment. The only thing I would use it for is the cubing. Thank you again, you did a great job!

Glad I watched this. I got this for Christmas and I think I'm going to exchange it for a different one

I Love my mixer...just want to get even more out of it. This is the review I have been looking for. Not biased for or against the product. I saw this online and wanted one for Christmas...glad I did not get it because I am sure I would not have used it after the first time. I hope you have reviewed other Kitchenaid attachments so I can get a feel for them before I possibly make a mistake. Thank you!

Love how real this video is. Amazing!

Ok, just a little suggestion here: After slicing your peppers FOLD them (makes them feed better & stay upright ) also with any softer veggie. It has to stay upright so just fold & feed. (I got this from another video ).

Thank you for this review. I have seen this attachment perform in other videos and it did a much better job and was fast and powerful. The difference was the size of the mixer, so I assume that a higher power mixer will work a tad better. The only reason I am even considering this product is for the dicing capability, which has performed well in all of the videos I have seen including yours. My Cuisinart stand alone food processor blows this thing out of the water in terms of shredding and slicing, but does not have dicing capability. I can get this for about $100 plus tax with discounts and coupons, but that is a lot to spend for just needing the dicing so I will have to think about it and see if there are other dicing options out there. If anyone has any recommendations on a product that dices, I would love to hear about them.

This was the best and most informative video I've seen so far! I love your honest thoughts and review.

The kitchenaid mixer is only 250 watts. You can see that it doing the work, but hard on the motor. I also find it work better to turn on mixer to get the speed going before dropping the fruits or vegetables. Yes, I do own one and the food processor is wonderful. So if you planning to get the food processor, just make sure you have an bigger mixer. I am not blaming on this women, she does an fantastic job. I have learn a lot from her. Thank you......

I believe if a larger KA was use it would have worked better. And yes, I agree with another commenter on here. Fold the peppers. I do with a different FP I use at home.

Very useful demonstration. Thank you!

What is the benefit of the Kitchen Aid food processor attachment over the Kitchen Aid slicer/shredder attachment from 20 years ago (the current model seems smaller)?

Nice demonstration.

Should have used the food chute. I've seen excellent results using the two different sizes for different type of vegetables.

I just bought this attachment second hand for a very good price, tried the julienne cutter first - a total disaster with all kind of different veggies :-((( came here to see reviews and saw not a single review where the julienne cutter performs decently. And your review of all of the attachment is the best to be found on youtube by far !!! You gave the julienne different tries and were even not over critical of it in the end .... I also agree that the dicer is the best one of all the blades and accessories. Had similar problems with the other blades just like you had including the size of the slices being too thick for the thinniest option. My biggest criticism is in regard to the overall alignment of the attachment to the mixer: It is too heavy to be a stabile counterbalance forthe standard Artisan. It needs only a small additional weight or tipping on the attachment and the Artisan lifts up in the big. Plus, pressing hard vegetables through the blades - even when done with highest caution and attention - makes the attachment slightly bent, which makes me worried each time that it might break off. The book with the instructions is a total catastrophy and done by s.o. who seems to have not done any research on how manuals for electronics are usually done. The case for the blades - however - is quite a master piece, very well designed to help with easy and quick organising and storing. The blades themselves seem good quality, very sturdy and well made. I have the feeling that there were different design teams involved in developing this attachment. The sum of their work coming together does not cut the cake.

I'm not familiar with the kitchen aid Mini so I don't know what it's wodage in torque ratings are but my Kenmore elite which is built by Whirlpool/kitchen aid doesn't seem to struggle or process things as slowly as that little yellow One did. All kitchen aid stand mixer attachments also fit all Kenmore elite model stand mixers They both have motors with hubs built by Whirlpool.

To help with qucumber slicing, put the the setting at it's thinnest setting and do not apply too much pressure. By appling very light pressure, you'll end up with thinner slices or apply more presser you will get thincker slices.

Great review. I gave me the right information for decision making. This attachment cannot handle soft vegetables. It cannot handle hard vegetables too. Conclusion: It is almost good for nothing. Except for mangling vegetables. 😁😁😁 I know I should not buy this. And the wish of being able to dice vegetables by machine is still not found.

Thank you for the video. So awesome. I have a question: Is this dicer able to dice tomatoes without squishing it?

The stand mixer seems not so powerful i think it would work on artisan or upper models

I have a machine with much more powerful wattage, I have no issues, your unit didn't appear tightened down, mine doesn't move once I lock it

Wow, I like your video!! Your have a light that is very warm and audience friendly!! Lol! Keep on doing the good work!!

I had this and sent it back! My food processor worked Much easier and quicker I ended up sending it back but I love me KA mixer

It doesn’t seem to actually be a food processor. I have other attachments for my 5qt Kitchen Aid that slices, shreds, grates, etc. I’m looking for something that will work like the chopping/mixing function of a food processor. Her mini version is definitely not suitable for the strength needed with this and her pressure.with the harder veggies and the cheese. My other style of attachments are akin to a salad shooter style. The dicing disc seems to be the best out of everything.

this was a HUGE help... thank you for sharing! Just got this ensemble for Christmas and looking forward to start using all it's features... :-)

looking again....I'm thinking the mini - will not produce like the more powerful machines?

Wow this gets my "It sucks" rating for product.

For the julienne demo, the vegetables might have been better laying on horizontal in the tube resulting in longer strips more similar to julienne expected.

The hub is way too slow for a food processor. Some mixers like the Kenwood have a faster hub on the top of the mixer for a food processor. Better to get a stand alone food processor.

appreciate seeing this. I'm thinking about getting one and now I have a better idea.

Hi! I've been binge watching your videos! It's really great to see a good appliance review. May I ask if you have heard of the gourmia power dicer and if you could do one! Been searching through your channel but don't seem to find it probably there's no video of it. Great job on all your videos! I love it!

omg this makes me not want to buy one :(

I love mine, especially when using dehydrator.

It would be easier with a knife. Thanks for video🤗 it was so useful for me.

""u should get a stand alone processor" yep if that is what you want to use, but the advantage i see is the pass through nature of the unit which would allow for some big ass containers under it if you are processing a ton of pickles , and my mixer never leaves the counter anyway so i don't have to drag out a second appliance. looks like a labor saver to me.

Glad I watched this first. Definitely not worth the trouble.

Turn the mixer on before you stuff the food down the mixture

I was about to purchase this attachment but I was not impressed by it's efficiency. I have a Magimix food processor which performs much better. The motor on the stand mixer sounded like it was under strain and I would be concerned that you could burn it out.

KA should have made a bowl to go with it with the correct height to alleviate issues with product safety that look obvious with this unit. Go get the real deal. Would be interesting to know the gear material nylon or metal, I don't see longevity with this unit forget about safety. Kitchen aid back to the drawing board. Would have been a perfect fit for the 1970's.

well i am glad i'm not the only one who can't get this thing to julienne anything SO frustrating

The way this attachment hangs out so far from the motor body and the downward force exerted on the end when food stuff is fed into the cutter I am afraid it would put a torque on the motor axle, which is detrimental to the motor. There should be a vertical support at the end to counter the downward force when veggie is being fed into the cutter. It is either that or the operator should support the attachment by pushing it upward to counter balance the downward force. Thanks for the honest review. It is very helpful to see how it actually works. The julienne function does not appear to work to my expectation.

I have the more powerful KitchenAid used to make bread, Food Processor need speed and torque to cut

The actual KA food processor is a workhorse and well worth the investment. I have the 13 cup and use it for jobs too big for my electric or manual mandolines

Your mixer is a low grade model. I have a model that has no problem grating, slicing or grating food. I can hear the motor having a difficult time.

I was so excited to receive my dicing kit a few weeks ago. It jammed up immediately with my carrots and potatoes!!! My recipe took me an extra hour because of so much time trying to unjam!!! I'm so unhappy!!!!!

I think your problem is that you cut the items too narrow & should try to fill out the feeder tube to prevent things from getting pulled in sideways.

It’s a mixer. That’s what it’s good for. If you want a food processor, buy a food processor.

My problem is I can't even attach this food processor to my KitchenAid 6 quart Pro! Love the mixer! but I need to attach the food processor -wish I knew how to do it! She makes it looks so easy.

The engine in this KAid not sound great with this attachment Thank you!

Eh no thanks, I'll pass. I wasn't impressed by it and for the price of the attachment you can buy an actual food processor that will work much better.

I think shenis pushing too hard. The machine should be doing all the work. She is forcing it down....should just need slight pressure to push it down. Speed should be higher as well.

The food prep slider/slicer goes through carrots easier

Gostei 👏😃

I bought this and had a terrible experience with this !! To be honest... Not recommended to anyone to buy!! Worst product of the KitchenAid!! I had to buy a food processor separately to do this kind of work for me. Thanks for the video for demonstrating the issues as well!

I purchased the same attachment in 2014 and I'm experiencing all the same problems. The machine gets clogged and stopped working I have put the cheese refrigerator and that doesn't help matters either. This is the worst KitchenAid I bought. I telephoned customer service and they were absolutely no help....

On QVC, the lady who did the demonstration did not seem to have any problems at all. Idon't understand...????? Will I buy one or not???

She needed much more power!

Did a piece of plastic fall off of the disc adapter when you attached it?

Too many at once will cause problems. Less sometimes is faster! LOL

Load the hopper widest side down. It is obvious this attachment has its issues. Especially when the weight is offset.

Cutting peppers is one of the main reasons I want a processor. That test total failed. I'll keep looking.

Does the container come with the disks?

CUBES IS BEST SLICES I DONT USE MINE 6 YEARS

I love my KitchenAid Artisan blender but with any of the attachments, I refuse to buy them.

Great review bestkitchenreviews, but I definitely would not buy this product

Seems like a lot of work... i will try a few other videos before I decide. It may be worthwhile to spend more money and buy the food processor with dicing attachment.

Can you dice or slice beans in it?

They should have grater plate for grate coconut.

Great video ...i will not buy this product it was making your job harder not easier and that motor Sounds like it was straining.with attachment on Great video ! But doesn't look like it has any power .

I'm liking your review but you should not have used your mini it was way too underpowered from what the motor sound like

The mixer sounds like it is working to hard and the engine might burn out.

Is the size of the dice adjustable?

She’s using too much energy, the actual food processor is far better than this

Poor stand mixer. Even the motor sounds awfull after the 3 carrots. You force a lot it. Poor poor mixer.

That thing is not worth $250.00

Thank you for reviewing this. What a waste of money and time.

Stop pushing so hard. Let the machine do the work.

You aren’t to push the vegetables down hard just put the veg. In it doesnt need to use the pusher most of the time.

This really seems more like a slicer/dicer/chopper

I was going to buy this but after watching this video it looks like way too much trouble than it's worth. :( I wish this demo was done with at least a 375 watt machine

Freeze the cheese.... say it like Mr. Rogers. You're welcome.

I purchased one of these and the lid would not stay latched so it would stop working every time--very annoying. Needless to say, I returned it. Don't waste your money. KitchenAid has problems with a lot of their food processors. The older models were much better and easier to clean. These new ones have so many parts and pieces that you may as well use a knife or grater because you don't save time after all the cleanup.

Looks like you can do all of this in less time and hassle with a chef's knife and box grater.

THUMP DOWN NOT TO YOU,TO KITCHEN AID PROCESSOR,I PUT IT ASIDE 😕😕😕
