KitchenAid 9 and 12-Cup Food Processor 5-Disc Set

Excellent Blades BUT Returned Them!

I purchased the processor and blades at the same time. I had called in advance and was told no blades came with the processor. However, three excellent blades and a nifty storage box do come with the processor, so the extra $70.00 for these 5 seemed rather unneccesary. They will allow more functionality than the standard 3 discs enclosed with the processor, but for us, these five would have been ‘over-kill’.

not as great

I purchased the set to add to my existing disks mostly because of julienne disk and to save the money (purchasing separately costs about $24.00 in average).I’m greatly disappointed with julienne disk which creates total mess. When I used it for zucchinis I thought well it’s because it’s too soft, but carrots were even messier. It looked worse than just simple grating. It wasn’t uniform in size (some sort of little tiny sticks along with fine shredding) I was looking for long uniform matchsticks. I’m still looking for julienne device which would produce fine long pieces with minimal waste.Any suggesting greatly appreciated

I’m happy with the disc set.

I bought this mostly for the french fry cutter. I’m very happy with how the french fries come out. My kids love the taste of fresh french fries. I’ve seen reviews on this before, commenting on how small the fries are. That is a problem with the size of the opening in the cover, but since that can’t be controlled, I’m more than satisfied with the size of the fries. As far as the other discs, I’m still learning to use the food processor so I haven’t used them much. They seem mostly to be thicker or thinner versions of slicers I already have, but I’m sure I’ll see the need as I do more “processing.” I just wish I had a nice case for all of these.
