The 7-Cup KitchenAid KFP720 is a quality food processor for under $100, judging by expert and user reviews. Professional reviewers say this smaller food processor does a great job chopping and slicing, but we found mixed reports on its ability to knead dough. One plus is the included 3-cup mini bowl, which makes chopping small amounts more convenient. Owners agree the processor is a great device, but some say they would like more options than the two blades that come with it. The KitchenAid 7-Cup KFP720 has two speeds -- continuous and pulse -- and is backed by a one-year warranty. For cooks who need a larger-capacity food processor, reviews recommend the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC-2011 (*Est. $165).
One of the most balanced reviews for the KitchenAid 7-Cup KFP720 evaluates 27 food processors on noise level and five essential tasks -- chopping, slicing, shredding, pureeing and kneading. Good Housekeeping editors also include the KitchenAid KFP720 in their 2006 review of food processors. Editors don't disclose if any models were tested aside from the three food processors they select. Each model gets a one-sentence summary, with no reference to performance testing. We found the most owner reviews at Amazon.com, but we also consulted Cooking.com and Target.com.
