Frequently asked questions
It ranks #15 of 16 on our food processors tier list, in F tier. That placement draws on 8 independent outlets.
None of the 8 sources with a clear view is critical of it. Bowl scraper is a gimmick - a spatula does the job better. Same weak-motor, thin-plastic platform as the Stack & Snap. Nothing about the mechanism fixes the durability fundamentals that matter at year three.
Nobody we can recommend. It is last on our board, in F tier, because it bolts a gimmick feature onto the weakest durability platform in the field. The built-in scraper solves a problem a spatula already solves, and the motor and plastics are the same thin platform as the Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap 12-Cup Food Processor. Buy a discounted KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor (KFP0718) instead.
For a tight budget, the KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor (KFP0718) in B tier, a simple and safe mid-tier ownership bet, or the GE 12-Cup Food Processor, also B tier, if you need a bigger bowl at low cost. For the long run, the Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor (DFP-14BCNY) in S tier, with a proven 720W motor and parts still available years later.
It attempts to, and our research credits it with at least trying to reduce stops to scrape the bowl. But the verdict is that a spatula does the job better, and nothing about the mechanism fixes the durability fundamentals that matter at year three. You are paying for a moving part that adds complexity to a machine that is already the weakest on the board.
The same things that go wrong with its Stack & Snap sibling. Our research puts it on the same weak-motor, thin-plastic platform as the Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap 12-Cup Food Processor, whose 450-watt motor strains on dough and hard cheese and whose plastic bowl and lid are common breakage points. The scraper adds one more part to fail on top of that.
Because it combines the category's weakest platform with a feature that adds nothing. Our board ranks on what holds up across expert reviews, and this machine offers a gimmick where the Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor (DFP-14BCNY) offers a decade of proven service. An inexpensive entry point is the only thing in its favour, and the KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor (KFP0718) covers that better.
