The KitchenAid 13-cup KFP1319 with dicing kit is still a current model, so given that you already loved your older KitchenAid, that seems like the obvious familiar/value option. I wouldn’t automatically rule out the discontinued Breville or Cuisinart if you find a great deal - discontinued doesn’t mean bad, and parts may still be available. But since your reason for replacing the old KitchenAid is partly a parts/mechanical failure, I’d personally put some weight on buying a current platform. So for me it would probably come down to KitchenAid for familiarity/value vs. Paradice 16 for the larger-capacity, more fully equipped upgrade.Read thread M

It ranks #5 of 16 on our food processors tier list, in B tier. That placement draws on 6 independent outlets.
None of the 6 sources with a clear view is critical of it. Mixed long-term feedback on lid and latch durability versus Cuisinart and Breville.
Cooks who want a dicing kit and a big service network at a mid-range price. Our research calls it versatile and well supported, with a genuinely useful dicing kit and smart in-bowl accessory storage. It sits in B tier, fifth on our board. If you want better long-term durability, the Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor (DFP-14BCNY) in S tier is the pick, and if you want the best dicing and slicing in testing, the Breville Sous Chef 16 Peel & Dice Food Processor in A tier beats it.
The lid and latch. Our research found mixed long-term feedback on lid and latch durability compared with the Cuisinart and Breville machines above it. That is the one recorded weakness, and it is the kind that turns up after a year or two rather than in a review. The strong parts network means a failed lid is replaceable rather than fatal.
Yes. Our research lists it as genuinely useful, which is not true of every bundled accessory. A dicing kit pushes food through a grid after slicing to produce even cubes for salsa, soup and mirepoix, a job most processors cannot do. It is the main reason to choose this model over a plain thirteen-cup machine.
Yes. Strong parts availability and a wide service network are among its listed strengths, which matters given the lid and latch feedback. A replacement lid, bowl or disc is easy to find through KitchenAid's own channels and most appliance retailers.
Inside the bowl. The discs and dicing kit nest in the work bowl when the machine is put away, so there is no separate accessory box to lose. Our research lists the in-bowl storage as a smart design. If you do not need thirteen cups or the dicing kit, the smaller KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor (KFP0718), also in B tier, stores even more easily.
