Thanks for the demonstration and review. This gave me information on how it to process and whether to use it for certain things. Looks like I'll need a food processor for some things.
Excellent information and easy to follow directions. Finally a review that actually shows how to use this product. No fluff all instructional. Thank you! 👍👍👍
Awesome review! As far as the random pieces I would eat those in a salad no problem or if my 14 year old was anywhere near the kitchen they would be eaten right away.
Hi, I watched your video and trusted your review. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You provide a valuable service. I have subscribed to your channel. I will be seeking you out in the future before I make an appliance purchase. Great Job!
Beware this plastic piece. I found an all metal one from the 1960's. I have done potatoes, cheese, and cabbage and it works so much better than this cheap version that KA made. The metal is cast aluminum, shiny like chrome, made to last a lifetime.
Thank you for this video, sadly most of kitchen tools made to slice/grate all end-up doing the same thing, even if they cost more than 200$ or hand tools sold for 20$...
Ok, I found your video cuz I was looking for the piece I was missing which was the shaft that holds the slicer/shredder tools on. After watching this video, I have decided it is not worth my time really looking for it. I have a kitchen aid stand alone food processor that does a much better job!
"on the plus side there is no more black grease inside...." hehehe I love this video and I already own this attachment but it is so odd, that I wanted to watch how it is supposed to work...so it's not just me, good to know.
just tried mine for the first time slicing carrots. wondering if i did something wrong because of the horrible results i watched your video. thanks for pointing out it's just a really bad slicer and it wasn't me messing it up.
When you first did the carrot slices, you didn't have the barrel pushed in all the way. The new design has the hopper coming straight down, rather than on an angle. That should work better.
"I guess this is grease"? Reminds me of things made in the 1960's where you could just stick your hand into a machine... Zero safety with this attachment. I'm really surprised this thing is on the market. Wow!
One of what, the attachment or the mixer itself? I don't know about the attachment but I haven't seen a processor that'll keep up with a kitchenaid mixer yet.
Considering how much Kitchenaid charges for these, it looks like the engineering isn't very good. Better off just buying a good $100.00 food processor.
I absolutely hate this thing! Bought it when I got my mixer 10 years ago and paid over $100 then. I have tried to use it 4-5 times and it just makes a huge mess! I can not stress enough....do not buy this piece of crap! I got sucked in to the whole....”ohhh....lookie it’s a kitchenaid fad”. Run!
Thanks for another excellent review. I'm glad I did not buy this attachment. KitchenAid used to sell a combo kit with this, the food grinder, and something else (possibly the strainer). I bought only the food grinder, and I'm happy with it. I have a KA food processor that I like very much, and it performs very well, especialy compared to this system. Thanks again.
Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial. I was struggling to figure out how to secure the attachments to the mixer. Your unobstructed filming and pleasant, easy to follow instructions were great!
I always wonder, until what point the attachments are a good investment instead of just buying a stand alone appliance that is specifically designed for that one job. I have the shredder/slicing attachment (different than this model, but still by KitchenAid) and I really enjoy its performance, but I still wonder if it wouldn’t be more practical to just pull out a processor instead of the huge and heavy mixer, plus all the parts etc..
For those of us who keep our mixers on the counter, the attachments are easier to use and put away than having another stand alone item to deal with. I have several of the newer attachments and they are great tools. Since I live near a metropolitan area I have been able to find them at affordable prices on local resale apps. This video let me know my newer style is just fine for my needs 👍
