I received the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus food processor for Christmas. After doing a lot of research online, I decided to send it back and buy a Kitchenaid instead. Although I have never dealt with Cuisinart customer service, I read multiple negative reviews about them on multiple web sites. This reason, along with the fact that I have a Kitchenaid mixer (which I love) was enough reason to trade my Christmas present in.
I decided to buy the Kitchenaid Food Processor 750. However, Amazon.com sent me the 760 model. Maybe they were out of the 750...or maybe I lucked out through a computer glitch. Either way, I'm thrilled with my 760. I highly recommend you spend the extra 20-30$ for the 760 which has a few more attachments, including the juicer.
I have never used a food processor before, always relying on my handy Kitchenaid mixer. Today I used my processor for the first time to make a quick loaf of Banana Macadamia Nut Bread (a recipe included with the processor.) It was so easy to use, the directions were very user-friendly. As a side note, the bread was pretty tasty as well.
The Processor feels a little heavier than I expected, but I guess since it has a bigger motor that is to be expected. It felt very sturdy as it was mixing up my bread, and the motor hummed along fairly quietly. I am amazed at how quickly and expertly it sliced up the bananas! I can't wait to try it out with other recipes.
My parents have a Kitchenaid mixer that I remember using when I was growing up, so it is a good 20+ years old. It still runs like it is brand new. If this is indicative of Kitchenaid products, I expect my food processor will be in the family for many years to come!
As a side note: A friend of mine lives on Kodiak, a large Island in Alaska. She inherited a Kitchenaid mixer from a friend which was missing the bowl, and the cord had been frayed. She contacted Kitchenaid in hopes of fixing it. Kitchenaid sent a repair man to the Island to fix it for her along with a replacement bowl at no cost to her. If this isn't quality customer service, I don't know what is!! |
Best thing I ever did!

I really hate to say anything about Wolfgang Puck because it is totally not his fault, but I ordered his really beautiful food processor from HSN, TWICE! Both times it was used, with debris left on the blades!
So, I decided to order the KitchenAid 760 B and it is almost silent, chops, shreds, purify's, and pulverizes anything you put in it. The extra wide mouth on the food shoot is excellent for potatoes, zucchini, and large vegetables. So far, nothing I used in it slowed the motor down.
The use is simple and easy to put together and it cleans up beautifully with everything encased, leaving nothing open for food to get stuck. One spot may be the spindle which turns the blades, but it wipes out very easily.
The attachments which come with it along with the blades provided are enough to do anything you need. I've made bread dough, and being a vegetarian, used it to chop every manner of vegetable, effortlessly. Worth every dime, dollar, hundred dollar, two hundred dollars! |

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS KITCHEN AID PRODUCT. I bought this food processer because we cook real food for our dog. The vegetable have to be chopped very fine in order for a dog to be able to digest them. I picked this one because a bunch of online reviews I read said that the KitchenAid brand was better than the Cuisinart. Also, the sales guy at Williams and Sononma recommended it since it was only $30 more than the comparable Cuisinart and has many more attachments. I'm not sure that I'll use the juicer but you never know. This processor made short work of a large head of broccoli. I really like the large mouth on the feed tube; you don't have to cut the vegetables really small. I'm looking forward to using the slicer discs to make potato chips.
Update - used the slicing disks to make potatoe chips, holy cow, this thing is worth every penny I paid for it, six potatoes in less than a minute. Also, my husband totally wrecked it making chips and Kitchen-Aid replaced it no questions asked. I didn't realize when I bought it that they had this policy, so that makes me recommend it even more. |
Best customer service ever!

| This food processor is the bomb! I've had it for about three years, and it works great. The only problem I've had with it was that the juice attachment that came with it broke, probably due to overzealous use during a Cinco de Mayo party. Only the inner lime reamer was broken, but it made the entire attachment useless. Today, I called KitchenAid, and they are sending the part to me, free of charge, with a rush delivery, so that maybe I'll have it for my Cinco de Mayo party next week. KitchenAid is fabulous and so are their products! |
Kitchenaid convert!

I love to cook and was given an original Cuisinart back in 1980. That machine was great and I collected an extra workbowl and all the optional blades along the way. When it died after 22 years of almost daily use I just replaced it with the updated equivalent without doing any comparison shopping. What a mistake! Most of the accessories I'd collected did not fit the new Cuisinart and the construction of the machine itself, particularly the lid mechanism, felt cheap and was difficult to use. Shredding was also bad, and every time I used it to grate cheese had to hold onto it to keep it from moving around the counter, but after spending money on it, felt stuck with it. Well, after three years, the crappy lid broke. After doing some comparison shopping this time, decided to replace the whole thing rather than buy a new lid for a machine I hated.
This Kitchenaid is a real workhorse. Picked it up at a great price too with gift certificates and an Amazon offer. It is MUCH sturdier than the Cuisinart, stays put when it is on. I've used everything except the juicer, the three different sized work bowls are nifty, and shredding and slicing are a breeze in comparison to my old machine. The wide feed tube holds a lot and the locking mechanism just feels so much more secure. As a dedicated food processor junkie, I highly recommend this machine. |
