KitchenAid - 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit

I’ve had. Kitchenaid for years, motor was heavy and strong, but the food processing was a bit irregular

Mid sized kitchenaid, make sure there is a dicing attachment!

I have the 13, too, and I love it! It has so many great functions, too. I like to bulk chop onions, because I hate chopping them by hand. The fixing attachment has been a game changer for me.

I love mine. I have the 13 or 14 cup (not sure) I upgraded from 2 smaller ones because I got tired of having both. I use mine almost everyday because I do a lot of bulk stuff like pesto and tomato sauces, etc.

I have a KitchenAid food processor that is almost 20 years old. You can pick up used good-quality food processors on Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the original price. It's hard to go wrong with KitchenAid, Cuisinart, or Breville.

See if you can buy a used Cuisinart on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or a local buy/sell page. I have (and love) my 13-cup KitchenAid ExactSlice food processor which was a thrift store find. But KitchenAid no longer sells the dicing kit, and the kits are stupidly expensive on eBay. So if you expect to do a lot of dicing, I believe Cuisinart would be the better option.

We have a large KitchenAid food processor with a variety of discs and blades, but mainly use a Ninja 3-cup food chopper instead. I loathe the texture of cooked zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers, but am fine with the taste. So, finely chopping those veggies and disguising them in lasagna works great. A mini chopper also does well for dicing onions, making salsa, and repurposing pot roast to make enchiladas and meat pies. When looking for a small food chopper, get one that has blades going up the spinning vertical shaft ... not just a pair of blades at the bottom. My previous mini chopper with a pair of blades at the bottom just mauled the vegetables. The Ninja one has four blades. It is actually an attachment for an immersion blender power stick, but I believe the company makes free-standing models. I have not checked to see what companies make similar mini choppers.

It depends on your needs. My Blendtec high-speed blender saw the light maybe once a month for years. Then I developed some dietary restrictions and a need to eat a great deal of cooked vegetables. Now it's in constant use for making pureed soups, sunflower cream, and no-mato paste. Similarly, I went 50 years disliking food processors as noisy and not worth the cleanup. I found knife work satisfying, peaceful, and part of what I love about cooking. Now, though, I have health problems that bring fatigue, poor stamina, painful knees, and so many food intolerances that I have to cook nearly everything I eat. I've finally gotten a food processor, and I really like it. It's fast, quiet, and versatile, and it can shave fennel translucent- thin. Sure, the dicing kit isn't as precise or flexible as knife work, but it's fine for most things and it's terrifyingly fast. It lets me do more, and that's what I need right now. I like the food processor for its flexibility. I got a Kitchenaid 13 cup with adjustable slicing thickness and a dicing kit. I can use it for chopping, dicing, shredding, mixing dough, and slicing a good range of thicknesses. If you're looking for the most bang fit your buck, it's not a bad choice. But really, think about what you most want to do in the kitchen and what would best help you achieve it. For the past 50 years, what I wanted to do was cut things by hand. I got a good knife and I was set. Now I want to stand less and cook more, so I have a shiny red prep chef friend.

It is the small KitchenAid but a few years ago. I have two, a big and a small and I love them.

I wondered if I would use it very often, but after I got my food processor, I use it all the time, for all kinds of things. I have had a Cuisinart (with a French-sounding name but made in China. I usually have nothing against things made in China, but in this case, there was a big difference) and a Kitchenaid. I much prefer the Kitchenaid.

I have one and it's great! Is indeed kitchenaid. Can be used cord free and charged by plugging in so extremely convenient for those of us with limited space/limited plugs :)

Imarflex is ok, Ive used it before though the one I had in the store did give out kasi we do hunmus na sobrang sticky type, but for everything else it would be able to handle it. Please check the wattage, the higher it is the more powerful it would be, most of the time though some brands would bs us about wattage, for example yn astron blender, it was said to be high wattage pero it couldnt even blend hummus properly. if you have the budget, try to get something better, in the long run it would last, here: [Kitchenaid](https://s.shopee.ph/20o8QtaLJE): ive had this for years, power is great, you can see from the picture it has been through a lot, really a lot, when i used to sell baklava online nagmahal n kasi pistachios di n, i used this to crush pistachios, it can handle almost anything, main problem though its expensive, quite expensive, motor is great, real wattage gamit and everything about still functions well, kahit yn muishroom nya is plastic, still doing well, unlike the breville i had. [Ninja blende](https://s.shopee.ph/6AdhOoMsxr)r: now this one is more on a blender type but because of its three balde type, it can function as a food processor, very strong motor, now for the cons, plastic yn mushroom nya but still intact yn akin, no problems, i am uncertain if high speeds would make it problematic but repair center says they will repair and fix it. yn teeth nya dun di tulad ng iba its plastic din, pero still working and there are no damage so far, hope for the best dito. can do a lot parang all in one n din kasi siya. pero mahal. few things to take note off, tr yto find out if real wattage, dami kasing fake sinasabi, look at mushroom connector. that would tell you nasisira una yan sa mga food processor and blenders specailly at high speed. ito pala to take care, dont remove kagad after using, let the machine fully stop, nun nagwork ako sa dushanbe, we had a fellow employee tangal nya kagad after off, ayn nasira. complete dry bago ilagay, affiliate link posted with poicture of the items. https://preview.redd.it/xvvor8eg445g1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=722b48ecc0ae6ba7b9196f6db89bf659fea2b784
