KitchenAid KSM2FPA Food Processor Attachment

This processor is awesome. It attaches easily and works great. The feed is smaller than my freestanding processor. I have to cut larger potatoes in half but smaller ones fit fine.The only thing I don't like about this is that it's a weight on the end of my mixer and so pushing the feed down puts enough weight on it to tip the mixer if you aren't careful. I hold it by the shoot so I don't accidentally react and put my hand on the bottom, near the exit shoot, to catch it. It cuts potatoes like butter, you barely have to push on it. It's really nice.It's super easy to clean up and I love the holder for all of the blades.This is the first attachment I've purchased and I don't regret it. Just the cube cut is worth it. I just don't like that there isn't some kind of ... MoreThis processor is awesome. It attaches easily and works great. The feed is smaller than my freestanding processor.

I just don't like that there isn't some kind of stabilizing bar with it. It will probably be the last attachment I buy just because of the stability issue but, if I was only going to choose one, this would have been it.

I was happy with my Food processor and loved to make salads quickly and with even cube shapes until yesterday it almost killed me. I was cutting vegetables for salad using the food processor, and already did all cucumbers and most of potatoes when all of a sudden the entire head of the processor began to rotate around its axis at crazy speed (I cut vegetables in mode 10, as the instruction says). The processor sawed off the protective bolt that held it in place and began to spin moving towards the exit. It was so scary, it could hit me in the head at any moment or crash my kitchen. I could not decrease the rotating speed as it was very dangerous to come close, but I was able to turn off the electrical outlet and it saved me. I hope that Kitchen Aid representatives ... MoreI was happy with my Food processor and loved to make salads quickly and with even cube shapes until yesterday it almost killed me.

Overall I like this product. It has good versatility and can improve prep quality, presents, and efficiency. I think most of the components and blades are easy to clean but be prepared to keep track of multiple parts. Someone who struggles with mechanical aptitude may struggle with this product. There are different combinations of parts and blades to configure the specific type of cut/chop that you're trying to make. You'll likely need to plan out what you're working on so that the order of what's prepped in considered. For example, the dicer works great to get fruits or vegetables cut quickly into nice chunks. Depending on what your making you may need to do the fruit first or the onion first. Otherwise you'll have to take it all apart and clean everything in ... MoreOverall I like this product.

You'll likely need to plan out what you're working on so that the order of what's prepped in considered. For example, the dicer works great to get fruits or vegetables cut quickly into nice chunks. Depending on what your making you may need to do the fruit first or the onion first. Otherwise you'll have to take it all apart and clean everything in between. It should be noted you'll still need to have a cutting board handy for most jobs as you'll need to cut everything down to size to fit into the feeding slot.While I don't find it to difficult to set up, I wouldn't plan on using it for a single onion or if I have two or three different items as the time and effort to put everything together to get started and then the necessary cleaning and possible changing of blades between specific food items isn't worth the effort. This product shines if your doing a big meal with a large amount of the same few items that need chopped, sliced, or diced.Overall a very good product with solid design and engineering. The complication of the Processor is a byproduct of it's functionality it's meant to deliver.
