DON'T buy this! || KitchenAid Attachment (generic) FAIL 

So glad you are so creative. I probably would have thrown it across the room. Thanks for sharing this! Keep on being Nili 😄👍

A hand-held FOLEY FOOD MILL is reliable and will process a larger quantity more quickly. You would cook the fruit first to soften it then remove the seeds & skins in the food mill. Very affordable.

I have the KitchenAid meat grinder and food mill that I purchased together, and they work great. I've used them several times and they work perfectly. I use them for apples all the time. They aren't hard to put together and get apart. In fact, I've never had to use the wrench end of the pusher to tighten or loosen the parts, and it never leaks. KitchenAid is definitely worth the price!

Hi Nili! Loved all your attempts at making your KitchTree attachment work. It may very well be defective, so I would definitely contact the seller/manufacturer to determine if that’s the case. If the manufacturer is legit, I would think it has a strong need to make it right. This is particularly true because of your strong and trusted presence on the various social media platforms! Please consider following through and give us an update! You’re the best! 🥰

"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" one of my all-time favorites.

I learned a long time ago. Never buy generic attachments for my KitchenAid with a single exception. That was for the Beater Blade. The mixing blade with the rubber sides that scrapes the bowl as you mix. It works beautifully. The rest have all been junk.

I bought my first kitchen aid in 1978 when we got married. The first attachment I got for it was a three pack! Grinder, slicer, and the food mill. $79 dollars for the box with all three in it! I love the food mill. Only way I’ve ever made seedless blackberry jam, and applesauce ( cooking whole washed apples with cinnamon sticks and a little water) the blackberries do spatter juice! I’ve taped up a bit of newspaper around it and it kept the splatters contained. I got rid of the slicer attachment and upgraded to the newer one, and it works well for when I need to shred lots of cheese. I had the old noodle making attachment, all the disks fit inside the plunger. ( you needed to meat grinder with it) passed that along to my daughter. My husband gave me the newer noodle making attachment for a Christmas gift one year but we don’t use it at all really. It’s hard when they change things and attachments don’t fit. Thanks for your review ❤️💕

Sometimes you do get what you pay for. Your perseverance is commendable…. Just watching my patients is being tried! Great job in getting what you needed!

Enjoy watching your videos. As watching this one, I remember that I have an accessory kit that I got years ago with my kitchen aid. Never used, still in original box if you are interested let me know (I don’t know how to communicate with you except this way). The kit has slicer/shredder, food grinder, and fruit and vegetable strainer.

Honestly the hand crank food mills are brilliant and you can get the kids join in!

I have the original 3 piece attachment from Kitchen Aid and have had them since 1990ish, and they work great!

Good job with documenting the canning process at the end of the video. The music, in my opinion, was a good match for such a rustic and homey activity.

Awesome trying to figure it all out … nothing is ever easy is it?!? Great review thanks.

Love your videos. You are very helpful, so I feel like I'll just tell you how I do it. When making applesauce, I wash and core the apples, I never peel them. Then I cut them roughly, throw them in a big pot (huge batches here). I add a tiny bit of water so that they don't burn until they let liquid out. I may add cinnamon if I feel like it. Then I let them cook down about half the hight and I simply blend them with immersion blender. Next I have my sterilized jars and lids, and through a wide funnel (without messing any jars with sauce, I wipe them with a clean damp cloth if I do), I pour the sauce while it's still simmering in the pot, into the jars leaving about ¾-1inch at the top. I screw on the lid and flip them upside down. They will seal beautifully after a few hours. I do the same with peaches, tomato sauce, blackberries (+a bit sugar), aronia (needs more liquid and some sugar). I like to keep it simple. Hope it helps!😊 I love that you guys moved to a farm. We did that 3 years ago (we went more rural though) and would never go back.

No suggestions here. How frustrating, but I'm glad you had a workaround. I am laughing about "unicorn horn" and "party hat" 🦄🎉 😆

Wonderful music that goes well with your expanding sustainable lifestyle.

I have owned the genuine kA brand of that and it worked great for me for many years. I had purchased it as a trio, which included the slicer/shredder too.

Enjoyed watching thank you 😊

Suggestion for the apples - dehydrate them! I have a very simple dehydrator and I do apples, herbs etc - can even make ‘fruit leather’ with a additional cover for the trays so they don’t leak etc. The children could really get involved in the preservation process.

My mom used to use a cone sieve, which also worked very well. Sometimes these electric gadgets don't work as well as good old elbow grease. Sometimes you can find these relatively often at thrift stores, or antique stores. There are new ones on Amazon and William Sonoma makes one too.

I don't have this,but I do have this attachment, but I do have the meat grinder and it works pretty well. For berries and such I have a victorio grinder. Mine is hand cranked,but they do have an electric one. They are pretty pricey. I mostly use mine for tomatoes. It works great and well worth the investment if you plan to use one for years.

Also if you have a vitamix it makes applesauce without peeling the apples. 🍎 🍏

Dried apple slices those are 😋 yummy

What model instatpot is that? I know I can use my instantpot, or any pressure cooker for canning, but I just noticed yours had a nice canning setup that I do not have.

What is that instant pot with the canning feature on it? Is it really a pressure canner?

I think the title of this video should be changed to generic Kitchen Aid attachment, since this Fail is not a true Kitchen Aid product. However, I love when you show us successes and Fails

I have been using for about 45 years now a squeeze hoe strainer, all metal, vintage. They're about the same price as what you just paid for yours. Works great for tomatoes, and fruits. Apples, I would just wash cut put in a kettle with just enough water to soften and run them through. All seeds and skins come out one end and all the Pope the other I would let the pukp drip to make a clear apple jelly and then make apple butter with what was left.

All I have is a hand mill that is really old, I got it at a flea market. It doesn’t have all the pieces it’s stopped to have but I don’t have a lot of use for a food mill (I only make fresh milled tomatoes every once in awhile.)

you can purchase a masticating juicer for the kitchenaid. Cheaper and it extracts the juice perfectly for jellies and jams. It is only $49 and I love ours. Works for so many things. Also, you can use the food grinder small hole disc for food mill. We have done that with tomatoes etc

That grinder would drive me batty. I’d be throwing it across the room! You have more patience than I do. Happy processing 💕

Did you ever try the Victoria strainer, it works great for applesauce and tomatoes, never tried berries but it 8s great

I have the kitchen aid food mill and I love it. I wonder if you could find a older version of the food mill on eBay?

I also have the Kitchenaid meat grinder and food mill and have had no issues, leaks etc. I use the meat grinder for meats, also fruits for canning. Kitchenaid is pricey, but quality in performance. Definitely worth the investment.

Un petit bonjour de la France ..très belle vidéo merci.

maybe instead of returning it, you can get a replacement. that way you'll know if you got a dud or it's really not a good product overall.

I know this is going to sound weird but I watched this thinking you tried the kitchen aid veggie sheet maker. I want one. So in a way I am glad this item was the fail not the veggie pasta sheet maker.

Could you put the catch tray on before you tighten the ring down so it's behind the ring?

Can you find a KitchenAid food mill attachment in the old version of your meat grinder on eBay?

Part of your problem, besides buying a Chinese knockoff, is that you are supposed to assemble the meat grinder parts on the mixer first, then start adding the other parts that you are struggling with, so you don't need three hands to hold everything.

Frustrating to be sure! Koodos for your persistence!

SHARED TO THE BURGH! Nope, never used a foodmill and probably will not. However, I am sure my parent's used meat grinder, etc...grew up on a farm, youngest of 10 children. Enjoy your day

Maybe you can find an "old" KitchenAid food mill on FB marketplace or something? We have Grandma's old hand meat grinder that she used to make roast beef hash, but the KitchenAid stuff is awesome.

Did you try reversing the rod with the spring, it seems that it could be installed in either direction.

A dab of veg oil on the treads might help with the tightening issues.

Bless your heart! This is the last wonky piece of equipment for you. First was the drippy, hard to turn on Instant Pod, then the Instant oven that only rotisseries tiny chickens if your lucky and now this.. I would send that thing back.. Only good luck with gadgets from now on!

Perhaps that’s why you should buy kitchen aid attachments rather than the cheaper version. I have the kitchen aid version and it’s fabulous!!🙂

I have a meat grinder, kitchen aid, it is all metal. Works great

Nili, I KNEW the moment the video opened and you said you used generic parts that it was not going to go well. KA is an awesome appliance but you need to take the plunge and buy genuine parts for dependability. Your investment will be well worth it now that you have your farm.

I love the multi color trivet! Where can I find one?

So, beware of non-kitchenaid attachments... My meat grinder is not Kitchenaid, but it was highly recommended (sites and reviewers), and really good... But seeing your new gadget, wow... thanks for sharing the ordeal At first I thought it was wrongly assembled (by you), but they I thought "I would have done the same thing"... the design is on the edge, but the manufacture is what's responsible for the failure

I didn't know the meat grinder attachment had been changed. Mine is still boxed and unused from years ago when I bought it.

Have you tried putting the well on first then screwing on the nut? Just a thought cause it would allow everything to push back fartgwr

I have those parts but they are made by kitchen aid and they work perfectly.

This is why I think it's worth the money to just buy the KitchenAid brand attachments. :-)

Another generic FAIL is the generic paddle with scraper for the 12 cup blender. NOt a deal at all!

Well that is sure a bummer. Can you contact the company that makes it for assistance?

First thing I thought of when I saw the pulp is to dehydrate for black berry powder.

Yes, buy a hand crank Foley food mill. Easy peasey

I view KitchenAid as a luxury line and I want everything to stay in that class. Just stick to the brand name. 😀❣️

Live and learn

😐Bummer-hope it was returnable? Maybe you got a defective one.. I sent lots back to Amazon for a refund. This looks like how it would look in a juicer. My juicer works like that.

I have a question… I thought I read that I could NOT use my InstantPot for canning jars. Am I mistaken?

Maybe it was supposed to have a rubber gasket inside the plastic nut that tightens'?

I have the same jimmied up mess you have! So annoyed …

I use a Weston Meat Grinder.

You did not thread the collar on correctly.

🤓

assemble it on the machine it’s much easier

The problem with reviews is that you can't be sure they are legit. Sorry you had to go through that! If you reach out to the manufacturer and show them the video they might be able to replace the pieces if they are perhaps flawed.

All the videos I saw showed them assembling it on the machine.. Maybe you assembled it wrong?

I have the flour mill, I love it. I have the meat grinder, works great. The flour mill is to be used for flour not fruit. I love all my kitchen aid attachments. I mill my own flour, I have an electric flour sifter. It’s great. I don’t think your doing it right. Mine is perfect your making me crazy. Bye

No more Generic

Keep buying generic. The money you save won’t add up to your unnecessary aggravation.

Don’t gamble with blackberries 😭

Made where ?

Get a juicer

🤣Potty break

Bottom line you get what you pay for.
