Frequently asked questions
It ranks #7 of 16 on our food processors tier list, in B tier. That placement draws on 7 cited sources across 6 outlets.
None of the 6 sources with a clear view is critical of it. Build is solid rather than spectacular.
Cooks who do not need thirteen cups and want something simple that stores easily. Our research calls it simple, sensibly sized and a safe mid-tier ownership bet, with a low profile and a twist-free lid. It sits in B tier, seventh on our board. If you want a machine to last decades and have the space, the Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor (DFP-14BCNY) in S tier is the better buy. If you want a dicing kit, step up to the KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit (KFP1319).
For one or two people, yes. Seven cups chops an onion, shreds a block of cheese or makes a batch of hummus without trouble. It will not take a full batch of bread dough or a whole cabbage in one go, so a household that cooks big weekly batches should look at twelve cups or more.
No. Our research notes that its twist-free lid design fixed the brand's old latching annoyances, which were a long-running complaint on earlier KitchenAid processors. The build is solid rather than spectacular, but the lid is no longer the sore point.
Yes, especially on discount. Our research names a discounted KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor (KFP0718) as the better budget buy over the Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap 12-Cup Food Processor, which is in F tier for its straining motor and fragile plastics. You give up bowl size for a machine that is a safer bet at year three.
