The KitchenAid KFP715 is a quality food processor, according to professional and user reviews. Experts say this 7-cup food processor does a great job chopping and slicing, but we found mixed reports on its ability to knead dough. Owners agree the processor is a great device, but some say they would like more options than the two blades that come with it. This KitchenAid has two speeds -- continuous and pulse -- and is backed by a one-year warranty. For cooks who need a larger work bowl, reviewers recommend the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC-2011CHB (*Est. $200) .

ConsumerReports.org has the most comprehensive review of the KitchenAid KFP715. Editors at Good Housekeeping include the KitchenAid KFP720 in their 2006 review of food processors. This model is now discontinued, but it's identical to the KFP715 other than it included an additional mini-work bowl. We found a limited number of owner reviews at Amazon.com and Target.com.

2. Good Housekeeping

Editors at Good Housekeeping select their favorite food processors in three categories. We don't know how many food processors were included in the evaluation, and details regarding specific testing are sparse. The KitchenAid KFP20, which is identical to the KitchenAid KFP715 but with a mini-bowl attachment, is chosen as the "compact gem."
