Rated 3 out of 5 by unhappy fan from If Only It did the dicing I always looked for, but the center guide post broke and I have been three times with them asking for the part. I paid them for three because I could tell that the part was not as well made as it could be. They have sent me the wrong part two times and now it is over a month for a third try at getting the part. I really like the machine, but I need this part to keep liking it. I have recommended it to people, but now am sketchy on whether to do so.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Double-Crust Pizza Mark from Deserves Its Title This KitchenAid Pro Line food processor is the eighth food processor that I have owned. I owned four from the brand that starts with a "C", including their 20-cup model; two 16-cup units from from brand "B", and the original KitchenAid Pro Line. I put every machine through its paces--from chopping, slicing, and shredding, to kneading many batches of dough--and this second generation Pro Line beats them all. It never bogs down under full loads; it slices more evenly than the other machines (my processors that were designed in Australia always sliced with a slight taper); it kneads yeast doughs more thoroughly than even the 20-cup machine I owned; and it never leaks when processing liquid ingredients (not so with the other machines: I had to clean up the messes). And lastly, all the parts lock securely into place as they should. Nothing feels cheap on this machine. A word about the dicing attachment and blade breakage: I have not experienced the problems described by some reviewers. I have followed the instructions, and my carrots, celery, potatoes, squash, etc. are cubed quickly with minimal effort on my part. And the S-blades have all held up well. Keep in mind that at least this KitchenAid processor will do the job. The instructions for the dicing attachment on another highly rated processor--the "B" brand--state that one should not attempt to dice hard items like carrots without pre-cooking them first. Oh my, that sort of deflates the balloon of convenience. Is this the best food processor on the market? No. But a Hobart (KitchenAid's original parent company), food processor can cost $5,000 or more. But as a commercial--style home model, I believe it is the best. Performance, features, durability: they are all there and ready to make your kitchen food prep a pleasurable experience.

Rated 1 out of 5 by GoldyB from Dissapointed Bought this and a few other high-end KitchenAid products for my spouse. This thing is heavy and awkward to move. No problems with melting parts or blades breaking. Our noted flaw was found while trying to use the 'dicer' attachment. We were dicing onions...nothing extraordinary. The attachment routinely jammed up with unprocessed onion. After the third disassembly and cleaning, we gave up. BTW, the dicing apparatus is filled with razor sharp blades. Cutting gloves are recommend. Anyway, after this dicing misadventure, we found that the unit no longer worked. After troubleshooting the processor, we purchased a new gearbox. This Saturday morning, I am sitting in front of our disassembled processor and have found that the chinese-made food processor housing has failed. Two of the four potted metal mounts that hold the entire motor and gear box assembly have snapped off. Remember how we mentioned that this thing is heavy? That weight is from the motor and gearbox that hang upside down from four little screws going into the best potted aluminum junk china has to offer. Pro Line? Really? $500 for the processor. $75 for a gear box. $180 for a housing. Lesson learned.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lou50 from Don’t waste your money. Broke within a few uses. Looks like something actually melted. The dicer is useless. Clogs up. I’ve had to leave it on the side with rotting vegetables in it. I cannot open it. Just too much going on with it. Really regret buying it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jannakp from Food Processor I bought this when they first came out. A blade broke and Kitchen Aid handled that issue very quick and professionally. Love the machine, although I find the dicing aspect difficult to use. Now, a piece inside the black handle on the lid is broken and finding parts on your website is impossible. I guess the high price equates to not needing repairs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fango from Excellent, regardless of other reviews! I got this because I wanted the biggest, baddest processor I could find, to handle the huge amounts of produce that I process and can all year. Power and durability was my first concern, and the big 16 cup capacity was a nice bonus. I am convinced that there is NO other option with anywhere near the smooth, quiet power. I am posting this review due to the many other ridiculous negative reviews by what must be incompetent users. I have many razor sharp kitchen knives that I am very proficient with, whether butchering, boning, trimming, slicing, dicing... I also dislike gadgets. Two days ago, I first used the adjustable slicer attachment to make a massive salad including rainbow carrots, radishes, turnips, gold and red beets, cucumbers, brussels sprouts and so much more. Hard or soft, small or large, this machine handled everything perfectly, and so much faster than even I could by hand. Clean-up is a breeze no matter what else you may read in other reviews. My wife loves this for pastry dough, which she says turns out better than with our stand mixer. She also says clean-up is quick and easy. I have only used the dicer for some zuccini, and that only so I could comment on it here. It worked just fine, although I find the small size (8 mm) to be impractical for most applications I have. On this subject I would defer to the many positive video reviews on YouTube. My only possible criticism would be initial cost, and two items not included that I would definitely use (parmesan disk and egg whisk). $600 is a large investment that many may find hard to justify. Whether it's in the kitchen, shop or jobsite, my tools work hard, and quality costs. I'd rather pay upfront rather than replacement. If you are like us, this is a great investment. If you don't do much processing, perhaps it's not. Either way, this is a high quality, high power, smooth working appliance, and that's a fact, have no doubt!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Pier from Broken blade I had to blade 1 cup raw almonds, ¾ cup raw hazelnuts, 2 Tbs all-purpose flour, 60 gr dark chocolate and 1 ¾ sugar and suddenly I hear a boom and the blade just broke!

Rated 3 out of 5 by BravoBaker from I almost love it I got this food processor about 1 month ago, it dices quickly, cleanly with not too many issues, shreds cheese well, purrees great, slices efficiently, and kneads dough to my immense satisfaction, however there is one flaw that concerns me, the dial that operates the pulse/on functions always felt a little sticky. Over the month that I've used this the dial has gotten stiffer, when I pulse instead of flinging back the dial stays stuck for a few seconds. When you move the dial to on it squeaks a lot and feels stiff. I really like this food processor but I am concerned, since it is so stiff to turn the dial I am scared that I will force it and that it will break. I own several kitchenaid products and love the pro line series, however I also had a problem with my mixer, its upsetting that given how expensive the pro line products are. I want to recommend this food processor but the problem with the dial is concerning.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Paxson from Big and powerful, visually appealing. Not worth it Haven't used as much as we thought we would, it is just so heavy and we don't want to leave it up on the counter all the time. Just used it for the second time yesterday (in over a year). Had just as much trouble with the dicing kit as the first time. It is confusing and difficult to assemble. After processing 2 onions, it was jammed up. It took a lot of hand strength (and fear of cutting myself) to open up the dicer assembly, then a ton of time to clean it up. I decide to do the rest of my chopping by hand. Then when I was washing it up, I realized the center part of the lid had a little metal piece fall off, the area that it was attached to melted. I've seen other reviews with issues on melting. Also, the parts holder should have a more detailed diagram...it is not easy to get everything in there and actually close the lid. "Pro Line" equipment should not be this time consuming to prepare to use, to use, and to clean up. Actually, it should be the opposite. I have a Vitamix that I also spent close to $600 on and I can pull that out, use it, wash it and put it away in no time. Not this KitchenAid Pro Line food processor. I would rather do everything by hand. It might take longer, but isn't nearly as stressful and aggrevating. I know KitchenAid has great support and warranty, but it requires a receipt and buying this online...I don't know if I will be able to find the receipt.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rick S from Horrible dicing kit will rune whole machine Big and very expensive which is fine except the best feature doesn’t work. The dicing kit melts the plastic on the blade at center shaft. This has happened twice. Not worth losing a whole shelf for this large machine and accessories just to have it melt down. Easier and faster to chop by hand. I do love the stand mixer.
