Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This may not be what most people usually think of as a food processor which, to me, is more like a large blender. This 'food processor' has no bin to blend things in. Everything is pass-through for slicing, dicing, shredding, grating, etc. Having said that, I love it. The slice thickness lever makes choosing your slice thickness easily and I love the dicing feature! I make pico de gallo quite often and I was used to dicing my Roma tomatoes and red onions by hand. It took a while. Last night I made some pico using the dicing kit and it was the most evenly diced pico I've ever made! Also, I read a negative review from someone who didn't like the dicing kit and even claimed that his KitchenAid stopped when he tried to dice harder items like onions and carrots. I don't agree. It handled the firm red onions I put through it with no problem whatsoever. I think that other reviewer's issue was not reading the manual. You want your KitchenAid on a speed of 4-5 for SOFT fruits and veggies - but all the way up to 10 for harder fruits and veggies. I'm betting the guy whose machine stopped didn't increase the motor speed for the harder items. I'm looking forward to using this attachment a lot for things like pies (dicing the fruit), potatoes O'Brien and potatoes au-gratin, salsa, grated cheese, etc. etc. I would recommend this product to anyone with a KitchenAid mixer.
