Assessing Cuisinart and KitchenAid Food Processors


KitchenAid 12-Cup Food Processor KFP750: RED
Cuisinart and KitchenAid would be the reigning brands in the food processor category, and for good reasons.
Both product lines are powerful, well-designed and backed by strong, well-established company names.
But if you're shopping for a food processor, how can you decide which brand to choose?
Side-By-Side Replies: Cuisinart and KitchenAid Food Processors
To help you make a more informed decision, here's a side-by-side comparison of the two most similar
Models, Cuisinart's Prep 11 Plus 11-cup Food Processor (Model DLC-2011RN) and KitchenAid's 11-Cup


Food Processor with ExactSlice System (Model KFP-1133).

Design and Colors
Both machines are fairly similar in size and basic design, while certain user-friendly features are the

Cuisinart's machine a wide mouth feed tube, while KitchenAid offers a 3-in-1 feed tube that can
accommodate both large and narrow ingredients with a pusher. The Cuisinart model controls include
Off, on, pulse, and dough options. KitchenAid's has high and low speeds, plus pulse. Both touchpad
Control panels are simple to wipe clean.
KitchenAid's machine will take up slightly more space on your counter: it has a footprint of about 10 by
10 inches, and a height of 16 inches. Cuisinart's machine is 9 1/2 inches wide by 7 inches deep and 14
3/4 inches high.
The KitchenAid comes in silver, black, white, and red. The Cuisinart comes in brushed stainless only.
Features and Accessories
When it comes to features, KitchenAid has an edge, mainly due to the cool ExactSlice system, which
Allows you to use your food processor as a mandoline slicer.
An external lever adjusts the slicing blade from thin to thick. The KitchenAid model also includes a
Separate 3-cup work bowl and blade so you can use it like a mini grinder or chopper. It comes with a
reversible shredding disk, the adjustable slicing disk for the ExactSlice feature, a dough hook, and a
storage case.
KitchenAid has designed its work bowl and lid with a special seal, allowing the cook to fill the food
processor to capacity without the threat of ingredients leaking out.
Cuisinart's Prep 11 Plus, meanwhile, comes with a shredding disc and a medium, 4mm slicing disc, as
well as a chopping/mixing blade, small and large pushers and a spatula. It Doesn't come with a separate
Dough blade, even though the regular blade can be used to make dough.
Warranty
If a warranty is important to you, you'll probably appreciate Cuisinart's generous limited 3-year warranty
On the entire unit and its 10-year motor warranty. KitchenAid, meanwhile, offers its Hassle-Free
Replacement Warranty, which guarantees it will replace a faulty item for one year after purchase.
The Bottom Line
KitchenAid's additional features, like the 3-cup work bowl and the slicing system, along with its handy
Accessory storage case give it an edge, though it's a bit more expensive. But those who love to
make doughs might be better served with Cuisinart's version.
