KitchenAid KFP710

I bought this to make mousse from HMR diet shake mix, and it really does the job. The capacity is large enough to actually be useful for 1-2 servings (unlike the "mini" food processors that make 3 cups or… so--forget those). At the same time, the base is small enough so that we can leave it on the kitchen counter: it doesn't take up a lot of space and get in the way. The machine is sturdy. It also crushes ice with more oomph than any blender.

I read all reviews, really researched and was excited to use! I spent all day Sunday making various things - bread crumbs, grated cheese, sauce, dip, etc. I noticed the machine was losing power but thought… maybe it was just very quiet. In the middle of a recipe, the motor died. I felt it, it was not hot at all so I unplugged, waited, tried again but called it. I'm returning it, not sure why but once an item/brand betrays me, I feel better about using another brand. I hope no one else has the same problem - it is really going to be a pain to pack it up and take to the post office but I think I will shop around for a cuisinart as I hear they are indestructible.

I recently purchased this item hoping to replace some of the gadgets we have in drawers and on countertops. It does a good job of replacing my blender, chopper and to some small extent my mandolin. The… slicing and julienning feature is the only thing that I feel could use improvement. Although the 1 combo blade that comes with this machine does a good job, it would be nice to have more options. Other than that, I am happy with this item. I suppose if you want more options you would have to go with a much more expensive machine and I really don't need all of that.
