Absurdly Narrow Feed Tube!
I love the KitchenAid Mixer, and the attachments I have bought as well. This food processor attachment probably does everything other reviewers have said. What they don't mention is that the feed tube is absurdly narrow. Pictures of sliced tomatoes, for example are misleading. You couldn't put a normal tomato in the tube. We make sauerkraut using a Cuisinart processor to slice the cabbage, but it is a tedious process. The processor bowl holds about half a cabbage, so slicing 6 cabbages requires about 12 disassemblies of the bowl. I saw photos of the KitchenAid with a regular large mixing bowl under it, so thought I could just keep feeding cabbage into a giant bowl. I could too, if I cut the cabbage heads into narrow slices, but that is more trouble than using the Cuisinart. Again, this thing probably works very well at what it is supposed to do. Just be aware that the feed tube can barely manage a hard boiled egg put in sideways.
