- Even though its capacity is smaller, the KFP710 food processor still has a full-size feed tube -- a nice plus. Owners say it's 7-cup capacity makes it a good size for couples, small families or those with limited counter space.
- Some owners wish that the KitchenAid KFP710 had a longer cord and more available accessories. The competing Cuisinart DLC-10S performs as well and costs less.
Although pricier food processors beat it handily in expert testing, the most credible reviews still call the KitchenAid KFP710 a good buy. It slices, shreds and kneads bread dough well, but chopping food into uniform pieces is not one of its best performance attributes. Owners say the KitchenAid KFP710 food processor is easy to use and appropriately sized for small households or those with limited counter space. However, in this size range, the Cuisinart DLC-10S (*est. $100) also performs well and costs less.
Consumer Reports put the mid-sized 7-cup KitchenAid KFP710 food processor through a battery of rigorous tests. Reviews from Good Housekeeping, Amazon.com and Epinions round out the picture of this processor.

3. Good HousekeepingDetails/Subscribe
The KitchenAid KPF710 is said to be the editors' favorite compact food processor. They say it's powerful enough to slice salami, and they like its mini-bowl. The downside here is that Good Housekeeping editors aren't forthcoming with testing details, and they don't tell us how many other food processors were considered.
