Equipped with 5-cup and 2-cup work bowls, this compact food processor is ideal for small households or for small jobs when a large unit isn't necessary. Each bowl has its own blade, and the smaller bowl is perfect for mincing herbs, chopping onions and tomatoes, and making bread crumbs. Also included is a reversible, stainless-steel disk with one side for shredding such foods as cheese and potatoes and the other for slicing carrots and cabbage. At 450 watts the unit is amply powered for the size of the work bowls. A large, uncomplicated feed tube simplifies adding ingredients. Cleanup is simple, too, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe of the power base and its touchpad controls, and all other parts are dishwasher-safe. The processor measures just 6-3/8 inches wide, 13-3/4 inches high, and 7-1/2 inches deep and weighs 10 pounds so it won't skitter on the counter during operation.--Fred Brack

Just exactly what I was looking for!
One of the casualties of our recent move was the loss of my "as seen on TV" hand crank food chopper (I think it was a Rocket Chef??). So for two years now, I have been making salsa & bruschetta by hand and whining about my need for a food processor. My husband was not interested in spending $100+ for a food processor that we would probably use 1-2 times a week if that. So I continued to whine and he continued to protest the purchase of a full size food processor (eventually we just lived without salsa!). You can imagine my delight when this Kitchenaid processor went on sale ... and for a whole lot less than it's current advertised price :-) I worried a little bit about it being refurbished, but the item was received with little more than a few *very* minor scuff marks on the bowls ... which we would likely inflict ourselves after a week or two. And for the price paid, a six month warranty on this product is more than adequate.
I am impressed by how quick and easy this lovely machine is to use. Assembly and cleanup is so easy that we even managed it without the directions. I really enjoy the simplicity of design and operation, and feel that this size is the best for our particular use. I was able to make a full batch of salsa in literally minutes, which is something that used to take way too long with my old Rocket Chef. The mini bowl is quite handy. I realized after my main batch was complete that I had forgotten a jalepeno. I just popped it in the mini bowl, hit the "pulse" button two times, and it was done!
I would definitely recommend this item to anyone looking for a "starter" processor or for an occasional use gadget, especially if you aren't sure if/how you would really use one of these. Now that I have seen how easy it is to use, I will be using my processor all the time! Another great design from Kitchenaid. My only complaint would be that the color that matches my mixer was sold out :-)
Makes good latkes and cole slaw
I never expected this to be the be-all-and-end-all kitchen savior but it takes up very little room on my counter, makes great cole slaw and shreds potatoes beautifully. (I did slice my thumb accidently while shifting the slicing blade from one side to the other so now I use a kitchen towel when handling the slicing disc - be careful!) For the price, it's a fabulous product...
Good price but cosmetically not so good
The motor assembly looks great but clear plastic parts were scratched up badly and had some small cracks. I got it for a lot lower than it is currently so I can't complain.
