!$ KitchenAid KFP740CR 9 Cup Food Processor with 4 Cup Mini Bowl Chrome

I got this for myself and have been really happy with it. After 5 months of use, it still looks new. It is a good strong processor. It runs great, will chop everything I use it for. It is nice and heavy, so I leave it out on the counter, esp since it has a nice clean look to it. This is also convenient since I use it quite often. It is a good size, I wouldn't want it to be any smaller, and really I wouldn't even mind if it were a bit larger. The extra, smaller bowl is handy at times, but when it is used, both bowls end up needing washing since the smaller one goes over the larger bowl, so I don't really use the smaller one very often.



Because I want the bowl to stay nice and clear, I never put it into the dishwasher, so I can't really say if it would hold up under that. It is easy to wash by hand, but the blades are very sharp, so I wouldn't let kids wash those. I have used a Cuisinart, and the lid to this one seems so much easier to get on and off with less steps to lock the lid in place, while still remaining safe.



The only complaint I have is the center stem which holds the blade. It is too short, therefore it does not come up enough, so some liquids tend to leak through that. I try to not chop too much wet stuff at a time just to allow for that, but it is something to watch for. I make a lot of salsa and smoothies in this, so it is very obvious. Still, I like the rest of the processor well enough that I will work around that.



I would recommend this processor. Just don't fill it more than a couple of inches with liquid at a time. Also, the shipping was fast, and KitchenAid paid their rebate fairly quickly, unlike most rebates seem to be.
