I’ve never owned an appliance like this before, but now I know what I’ve been missing out on!  The KitchenAid 9-Cup Food Processor is easy to use, clean and store.  I’m able to chop, mince, purée, mix, slice, shred, and even knead.  I’ve already discovered how to prepare various types of food using the accessory selection guide, but there are videos, recipes, and tips on their website as well.  The accessories fit inside the sealed bowl that just clicks on the base, and it fits in my cupboard as long as I’ve disassembled the two halves.  The cord wraps around the underside, and I also consider this appliance to be fairly lightweight.  I’m amazed that one appliance with dishwasher safe parts can so easily replace the other methods of food preparation I’ve been using previously.  I hope this help you realize its value if you’ve been debating about purchasing one!
