Product Description
This KitchenAid food processor comes with an ultra wide mouth feed tube (the industry's largest) that accommodates tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes with a minimum of sectioning or slicing, saving you time in the initial stages of preparation. A separate section lets you feed smaller items into the work bowl such as single carrots, celery, herbs and nuts. A feed tube pusher is also included. With the Pulse button, you can control the length of cutting or the slicing process so sliced tomatoes don't become a sauce. The food processor comes with three work bowls: a 12-cup bowl for large jobs, a 10-cup chef's bowl that fits inside the 12-cup work bowl (slice or shred items while keeping the larger work bowl clean for another job) and a 4-cup mini bowl with its own mini blade for smaller jobs like chopping herbs, mincing garlic or making bread crumbs. The food processor comes with a multi-purpose blade, slicing and shredding discs (2- and 4-mm slicing discs and 4-mm shredding disc), a blade for mixing and kneading bread and pizza dough, an egg whip for whipping cream and egg whites for meringues, mousses and souffles, a citrus press for juicing small limes and large grapefruits and an accessory case for storing all of the accessories along with a spatula and cleaning tool (also included). The ultra-durable, polycarbonate work bowls are built to last, are stain-resistant and dishwash

Customer Reviews: - First time food processor owner
 I've had a blender and hand mixer for many years, and was tired of the manual grating I needed to do with many of my recipes. When the blender went, I decided to get the processor. One of my better decisions! I'm using it for lots of things, grating, pureeing, slicing. It's quiet, and easy to use. I bought one for my daughter; she's happy with hers. My son tried it, and he wants one. I'm glad I bought the 760, it's larger, but has lots of useful attachments included, in a case, and a citrus press. No need to buy any extras!
I hope that, if I ever do have a problem, the Kitchenaid folks will be as helpful in solving the issue for me, as they have been with other consumers.
My only complaint is that the instruction manual is a bit difficult to decipher....more info - Not as versatile and not very powerful
 I purchased this food processor (KitchenAid 760) because I was really happy with the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. It was a mistake... Most people would agree that the KitchenAid Stand Mixer is well made and easy to use. More importantly, it is very reliable and well designed. The Kitchen Aid food processor is nothing like that. First, it is poorly designed. Food, instead of going into the bowl, ends up in all nook and cranny of the machine. The only way to remove the food from those small spaces is by rinsing the bowl under water so you waste all the food that gets stuck. The worst part is that none of the blades (e.g. shredder, versatile blades) are sharp and they don't cut fiberous vegetables well. As a result, it is not as versatile as I thought. There are only limited types of food that can be processed well by the Food Processor (i.e. hard and dry ingredients). Most vegetables with high water content become a puree when you try to shred/cut them. I didn't pay $200 to buy a baby food processor.... It is worth noting that unlike the Stand Mixer, the Food Processor is made in China and is not of the same quality as the Stand Mixer. Yet it costs the same price as the Stand Mixer. I bet you can find a $80-100 Food Processor that does the same job as this over-priced one. ...more info - Exceedingly well for making biscuits
 Replaced an old processor that I burned up making biscuits after only about 10 batches. This one feels like the mack truck of processors....more info - An Expensive Disappointment
 I bought this model almost two years ago, as a replacement for a much-loved food processor that had been discontinued. Here's why I don't like this one:
1) One of my main criteria when I was shopping for it was that my new food processor should have a large capacity. This one was advertised as having a large capacity. But the stem in the middle of the bowl is very short, so you can't actually put much food into it, especially if the food is liquidy.
2) They advertise having one of the widest mouthed feed tubes. But what they don't tell you is that the "maximum fill line" on the feed tube is very low. So you really can't pack all *that* much food into the feed tube.
3) The ad said it had an attachment called "juicer." I thought that this meant that I could use it to, say, juice carrots, like the way my local food co-op has a juice bar where you can buy things like carrot-beet-celery juice. But no, actually the "juicer" is an attachment where you push down on an orange over a dome and the juice comes down the sides, through holes, and into the body of the food processor. It's basically like an ordinary "Mexican hat shaped" manual juicer except that you use the food processor to turn the middle (I guess that's how it goes -- I've never used this attachment) and then the bowl collects the juice. When I made my final decision between the last two food processors that I was looking at, I chose this one because it said "juicer." So this was a disappointment and made me feel that I'd been snared by phony ad hype. Interesting... I see they are now saying "citrus press" instead of "juicer" for this attachment. I think that is much more honest.
4) It's not good with small quantities. My old food processor could chop a clove of garlic. My KitchenAid just bounces the clove of garlic around, uncut.
5) Food often will "slalom" between the lower and upper blade without ever getting chopped. I've made hummus, let the machine run for a while, served it, and then found whole garlic cloves in the middle of the hummus, totally uncut. My old food processor never did that.
6) Flimsy spatula.
7) The rim of the lid fits on the *outside* of the bowl. So if you blend anything liquidy, it's pretty much guaranteed to be spread all over the outside of the food processor. And the counter underneath. On my old food processor, the lid fit *inside* the bowl, which was a zillion times better at keeping drips contained, mess-free.
8) When I want to take off the bowl with the blade inside, the blade is always "locked" to the middle stem, which keeps the bowl from coming out unless I reach in and disconnect the blade. This is easy to do, but it's annoying, especially when the blade is covered in food.
9) The pusher that you use to push food through the feed tube has two parts to it. They often unlock from each other while I'm in the middle of using them to push food into the food processor. This seems mildly dangerous.
10) When I bought it, I loved the idea of having multiple bowls, so that I could chop one thing, then switch bowls and chop something else. However, to use a smaller bowl you need to put the smaller bowl inside the larger bowl and then run the food processor with both bowls attached. Unfortunately, the few times I've tried this, food from the smaller bowl has gotten onto the bigger bowl, making it dirty enough that it needed washing too, with no time saved.
The one thing that I *do* especially like about the KitchenAid more than my old food processor is that its base is very well-sealed, so it is easy to wipe spills off it.

 KitchenAid KFPW760WH 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor, WhiteThis is a product you will use often. It mixes, shreds, dices, whatever you need to do to prepare a dish. Heavy duty, and very versatile. Highly recommended....more info - A Great Product
 I purchased the KitchenAid KFPW760 a few weeks ago and I am so happy that I did. I debated between purchasing the Cuisinart and the Kitchenaid for several months. I finally took the plunge and bought the Kitchenaid and so far, I am very happy with my choice. I have never owned a Cuisinart and so I can't really compare the two brands.
I like the fact that my Kitchenaid is easy to use and easy to clean. The wide mouth and narrow tubes are both very useful features. I was a little concerned about previous comments stating that the wide tube was useless because of the safety features but I don't think this is really a problem.
There are several functional issues that I am still trying to figure out.
First of all, the distance between the end of the feet tube and the blade may be a little large because I often find that the last portion of what I am slicing/grating ends up flying around on top of the blade rather than being processed.
Secondly, I can't seem to grind nuts evenly. I get some whole nuts and some finely chopped nuts all in the same batch. I have tried using smaller amounts but then the work involved no longer makes the processing worthwhile.
Thirdly, the center piece that keeps the grater/slicer in place often gets stuck which means that I have to pull out the blade assembly to get at the processed food. As I am doing this, I find that the food then falls out the center hole which is a little annoying.
However, these concerns are minor and would not deter me from buying this product. I use my food processor regularly throughout the week and I know that I will find even more uses for it in the future....more info - awesome product, awesome support
 I bought this unit in September and it is so strong and fast that I laugh when I use it!! It slices potatoes and apples so fast my boys all line up to watch it work. It handles big chunks and odd shapes. It is fun to use.
The main reason I'm writing a review, however, is to let you know about the awesome customer support you'll receive if you buy KitchenAid. Yesterday I was slicing apples for apple sauce -- I wanted to make a big batch, so I had 10 big apples ready to slice. I put too many in! All of the sudden the slicing disk was trying to slice the underside of the cover of the unit. Argh!! This morning I called KitchenAid and explained the situation. Guess what? They are shipping me a brand new unit, with all new accessories and everything, along with a return shipping label for me to return the broken unit. WOW. Order KitchenAid and you'll have an incredibly strong, fun machine to use; and when you get in trouble, their customer support will bail you out!...more info - a good purchase
 Well worth the money for this food processor--well built with many of options & features.
Bread blade works well, as do the other attachments. We like the juicer, and all the parts wash easily. The three sized bowls make clean up easier
It does take up some counter room, but well worth not having to pull it out every time you want to use it.
This processor is so quiet that at first I was afriad it wasn't working correctly, but I was so excited when I realized it was becuase I can still hear the radio while I'm cooking.
I would recommend this purchase to anyone who wants to do some serious processing (more than just your weekend hummus maker...)....more info - Would be nice if pieces didn't keep falling off.
 I love my KitchenAid mixer, and assumed a KitchenAid food processor would be of the same quality. I was wrong. I replaced my 20-year-old Cuisinart with one of these a few years ago. Almost immediately, the plastic bowl started developing stress cracks. Within a year, various small bits started breaking off, both on the bowl and on the processor base itself around the blade support. After two years, enough of the handle mechanism had failed that the processor would no longer turn on.
I called KitchenAid, but since it was out of warranty, I was out of luck, even though this is clearly a product defect. While KitchenAid (a Whirlpool comany, BTW) considers 2 years a reasonable lifetime for something this expensive, I don't. I've gone back to Cuisinart, and couldn't be happier. I do still have my KitchenAid mixer, though!...more info - Just What I have wanted for 40 years.
 I have always wanted a food processor and this one worked perfect. I opened it on Christmas day and with my daughter-in-law's help we set it up and used it to complete Christmas dinner. It helped me do everything as advertised. It made fixing dinner easier, just as I had dreamed it would for the last 40 years. It was easy to assemble and the directions were so straight forward that I would recommend this food processor to anyone who would like to simplify food prepartion.

 My mom needed a new food processor because she burned up two of them making bread, so I decided to get her this one. It's a lot more powerful than her old ones. She loves the wide mouth opening and has made quite a few batches of bread and also a batch of pasta. She's had no problems mixing anything and really loves it. My little nephew loves the fact that Grandma makes him homemade rolls all the time. My mom says that she would recommend this machine to anyone. So far, so good!!!!...more info - Kitchen Aid 12-cup food processor
 Another great product from Kitchen Aid. Three different size bowls and lots of power. Comes with lots of attachments. Love it!...more info - Excellent product--I'd buy it again in a heartbeat
 Yes, I spent a lot of time researching this purchase. No, this is not an inexpensive product. Yes, I did have some concern over the issues raised by other reviewers with leakage and problems with blades becoming unbalanced and destroying the workbowl. However, based on my first few weeks usage of the product, those concerns seem completely unjustified.
This product is a tool and should do what it was designed to do...not necessarily what someone wishes it would do. If you want a blender, buy a blender! This is the best, heaviest, most quiet, and most powerful food processor I've ever used. It has earned a place on my kitchen counter; I could not give it a higher endorsement than that....more info - Does it's intended job well
 The item was a gift, and my wife has made use of the opportunity since Christmas to use it for several kitchen tasks. I've not been allowed to touch it yet, but from observing her dragging it out (the base is very heavy) and using it for many dishes, she must be happy with it. It takes up a considerable amount of room and while it makes short work of what you're doing, like any food processor before it, clean up seems to consume the majority of time that you're with the device. Many of the parts go into our dishwasher on the top shelf. If I had to clean every little nook and cranny I would strongly suggest we use another way of preparing pie crusts or other food items. It seems strong, and other than the comments that many of the other reviewers have made, only want to encourage those with no experience with a food processor to consider the room required to store all the attachments and all, along with clean up concerns.
...more info - so far, great!
 I wasn't sure whether to stick with Cuisinart (my Cuisinart worked like a champ and was my mother's who used it regularly, then passed it on to me. I also used it a few times a week, so That processor was well over 30 years old! that's some testament to Cuisinart's longevity and quality)
After doing a lot of research, I decided to give the K.A. 760 a try because even though it seemed very similar to the Cuisinart, there were additional features on it I liked that a comparable Cuisinart lacked.
I've only had this food processor for a week but I've used it many times: I make my dog's food and it has ground/processed raw chicken breasts, whole eggs,fruit and veggies just fine. I've grated cheese, and sliced and julienned veggies which came out perfectly, and I've used the accompanying work bowls which make different jobs very convenient.
I made dough for pies which also came out very well and not over-processed. (That is something, of course, which one can regulate themselves for the most part)
I haven't tried yeast doughs in it yet because I prefer to make those in my Pro Kitchen Aid stand mixer. But I'm looking forward to using the juice press just for kicks.
My only gripe is the instruction booklet, which I found a little disorganized and vague at times. But since I've used food processors for a long time, this machine seemed intuitive enough on its own without the booklet. Nifty machine so far, and highly recommended.
(PS-- I meant to give this 5 stars but couldn't get back into that option on the amazon site)...more info - Excellent product--I'd buy it again in a heartbeat

 I've always had Cuisinart food processors, but this KitchenAid was such a good buy, I decide to purchase it instead when I needed a larger capacity. It has turnhed out to be a very good choice. The motor is powerful, and all the attachments are useful and work well. I am very happy with it....more info - HAD TO RETURN IT TWICE IN ONE YEAR!
 I am a Kitchen Aid fan... love my mixer and all of my Kitchen Aid tools. This was my first food processer and I've always thought that Cuisinart was the food processor to buy. My husband convinced me to buy this one and I really was excited because it has great features including the juicer.
It worked fine four about 3-4 months and then it wouldn't turn on. I would fiddle with the bowls and make sure everything was in place correctly, consulting the manual, everything I knew to do, and it would maybe turn on for 5 seconds, and then I'd stop it and try it again and it wouldn't work. I decided to call Kitchen Aid and get a replacement thinking it was just a lemon.
I got my new one, and it seemed to work fine. I don't use it that often, maybe 3-4 times a month, and about 3 months after I got the new one (maybe 5-7 uses) it started doing the exact same thing. I fiddled around with the bowls again and made sure everything was in place and I got it to work. Next time I tried it, it worked fine. Now it seems to work every other time I want to use it and last night was the final straw. It didn't work again. Now I'm a bright person, good with equipment and technical things alike, so I'm convinced this is a manufacturing problem. My husband has also tried to get it to work to no avail.
I've had it over a year so I can't return it, but I'm going to get another replacement and sell it without opening the box and I'M BUYING A CUISINART! Its really too bad... it could have been a beautiful relationship!...more info - An Expensive Disappointment

 Excellent processor and the different size bowls are great for smaller portions. Motor is not that loud for its size. And great accessories included. ...more info - Durable Product, Great Customer Service
 We're very happy with the product. It is a workhorse in our kitchen. It's the kind of thing you buy (at a great discount on Amazon) and it makes you start thinking of things you can make just so you can use it.
We had a minor technical glitch with our product and received incredible customer service. They replaced the product after warranty based on a simple call....more info - Love My 760!
 After debating whether to spend the money and then finding the best price at Amazon, I bought the 760 right before the Christmas holidays. It chops, slices and dices in no time! It looks great on the countertop and is always available to use. Cleanup is a breeze! I highly recommend this KitchenAid food processor!...more info
