Client Critiques

I lately purchased the KitchenAid KFP1333CU 13-cup food processor to replace a Cuisinart FP-14 14-cup model. The locking mechanism on the Cuisinart's work bowl cover had broken, but rather than replace the cover, which would have run about $50, I decided to swap the entire factor out for the KitchenAid due to the fact, frankly, I under no circumstances significantly liked the Cuisinart. So what I want to do right here is compare the two machines, highlighting the pros and cons of each and every.
Both machines are about the exact same size and take up the exact same quantity of counter space, the 1-cup claimed difference in capacity notwithstanding. The KitchenAid, however, is significantly lighter than the Cuisinart -- pretty much flimsy by comparison. This of course tends to make it much easier to lift and move the KitchenAid about, but try to finely chop chunks of challenging cheese or knead bread dough and the machine rocks and vibrates violently. If you do not hold it down with each hands it threatens to overturn or jump perfect off the counter. The Cuisinart may perhaps shimmy a little in performing the identical tasks, but it stays place.
I find the KitchenAid's perform bowl cover considerably much easier to put on, lock, unlock, and take off. You lock and unlock the cover in the conventional manner, by basically twisting it. You can do it with one hand. The Cuisinart's function bowl cover has to be pretty precisely positioned and then snapped into place. It oftentimes took me a couple tries to do it suitable, a minor annoyance. To eliminate it, you have to press an awkwardly positioned button on the deal with. It takes two hands.
I did not like the Cuisinart's operate bowl style. It usually seemed to catch a lot of stuff underneath the blade and in the angle where the side of the function bowl meets the bottom. When kneading dough, for example, I would uncover a couple tablespoons of unincorporated flour underneath the blade afterward. The KitchenAid's bowl has a related shape, but doesn't appear to suffer from the similar challenges.
A predicament with older model KitchenAids (so I've heard) is operate bowl leakage when blending or pureeing liquidy ingredients. My old Cuisinart also leaked occasionally, but only when the operate bowl was removed from the base. The new KitchenAid claims to have an "ultra tight seal," and I have not had any problem with leaks but, even when pureeing canned tomatoes, which are notoriously messy.
The feed tubes on each machines are relatively complicated contraptions with many nesting components intended to accept, hold, and feed ingredients in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Each are overly complicated in my opinion -- more parts to lose or break. I guess I prefer the single medium-size feed tube and pusher found on older models.
Each machines are quite potent. The Cuisinart's motor below a light load turns with a fairly rather hum. The KitchenAid is noisier, emitting a high pitched whine when running. Both claim to have two speeds -- high and low. The button for the Cuisinart's low speed is labeled "dough," given that that's the speed you're supposed to use to make dough I guess. In any case I could by no means detect any distinction in the Cuisinart's blade rotation rate no matter which button I pushed. The KitchenAid's low speed is noticeably slower than its high speed. The KitchenAid also does a "soft start" when you press the pulse button, which means the motor starts slowly and accelerates up to complete speed. While I don't see any point to this function, it seems harmless adequate.
Each machines execute all the fundamental tasks -- chopping, pureeing, slicing, shredding, etc. -- well sufficient to suit me. I think the KitchenAid is a lot more thorough in kneading small amounts of bread dough, although the Cuisinart, with its considerably heftier weight, can manage a significant batch of dough with much less commotion than the KitchenAid. The KitchenAid has one gimmick -- and it is a gimmick -- that the Cuisinart doesn't: There is a sliding lever on the base of the machine that's supposed to enable you to adjust the thickness of the slices you get when the slicing blade is becoming utilised. Theoretically you can infinitely adjust the thickness from paper thin to comparatively thick. In practice, yet, the slices come out just a tiny thinner or a tiny thicker. Once more, to me, this is an unnecessary style embellishment that will in all probability break sooner rather than later. You can accomplish the exact same effect with the Cuisinart by varying the pressure you exert when pushing the ingredient by way of the feed tube onto the slicing blade.
So in conclusion, I come across I like the KitchenAid slightly a great deal more than the Cuisinart, mostly considering that the work bowl cover is easier to put on and take off, but it really is not ideal. If you happen to be trying to decide among the two, I'd choose the one with the lower price at the moment -- the Cuisinart lists for slightly far more than the KitchenAid, but each are frequently and significantly discounted.

My wife got this with a tiny bonus revenue she came across (yea savings bonds!) This is her initial "actual" processor and she is in slicing dicing heaven! She has made every little thing from Coleslaw to Hummus in it. So far it works like the nuts. The lid is a bit complicated to get on and off (a tiny cooking oil on the rubber ring will solve that situation) and we obtain we quite often attempt to overload the feed tube so that the safty lockout won't engage. It is big and takes up counter space but it get made use of plenty enough to justify it. There are a ton of cool recipes (yumm food processor cheesecake- TO DIE FOR) and even mundane tasks (like slicing tomatoes for a sandwich) are speedy and very easy. Clean up is a breeze (quite often just a fast wipe with a soapy sponge and a rinse) and the blade storage case is practical. All in all we are particularly impressed. Lets just hope kitchenaide carries thru and makes the accessories they promise in the manual.
