Customer Reviews:

Excellent Processor
This is an excellent food processor. It has two speeds, plus pulse control so it allows for better precision when chopping. Some processors turn everything to puree, but with this one you have better control over how finely things are chopped. The grater/slicer disk produces very uniform pieces and is really fast! While running it’s not too loud either. I highly recommend this processor, especially considering the reasonable price.

Great Value
This is excellent with every processing task, and I compared it to both my KitchenAid and Braun models. The motor is very powerful, the design is simple, and all the parts are very easy to clean. Check your local WalMart if you have one closeby because this sells for only $34.96 there.

Practical and Affordable
This is a great food processor.
It really gets a workout from me.
I used it this Thanksgiving to mince onions, celery and carrots for my stuffing.
Since I’ve used it so much and it’s still in ”brand new ” shape, I definitely give it 5 stars.
Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Perfect for bread dough!
I got these specifically for the bread dough recipes in a book. They are just the right size and come with lids. Now, before you scoff, you should look at other similar containers - you have to buy the lids SEPARATELY which just seemed so strange to me. I am pretty happy with these - two is good because I can rotate them.

I gave them four instead of five because they came with some sort of light greasy coating that was nearly impossible to wash off. Dishwasher didn’t take it off. Hand-washing with liquid dishsoap didn’t take it off. I ended up soaking them in super-hot water with a little bleach to get it off. I’m sure it’s something added in the manufacture, but had I not been inspecting them carefully, I might have missed the fact that it was not washing off very well. Now that they are clean, I love them!

Perfect for bread recipes!
Initially I wasn’t sure this would be worth the money, but I’m so glad I bought these! This two-pack with lids is a great deal, and I even did comparison pricing with a local restaurant supply shop that often has bargains. The supply store also sold these containers, again with the lids separately, making the purchase of one container and lid roughly $12. I ordered these containers to use with recipes from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, as well as the Healthy Bread book, and I am thrilled. I didn’t find an unusual coating on the containers after unwrapping them as a previous reviewer did. In fact, I gave them a good wash with soap and water and promptly filled them with dough to refrigerate. These containers are worlds easier to use than my randomly shaped mixing bowls covered with plastic wrap that never really sticks and just fills the garbage can. I may also try brining a smaller chicken for the first time, now that I have the perfect container!

I have done the research for you…this is the best price with shipping you will find on the net. The other sites do not offer lids with purchase of container, beware of this fact. As for as the containers, they are just great, professional looking, tight lids & the right size if you are storing flour since you can add another bag without having to wait till you used up all the previous bag. Oh yes, I prefer the round ones, they are roomy enough to use your scoop in & you don’t have to scrape in those little corners. Consider where you are going to store the containers…square ones might fit your needs better. I can stack one on top of the other since I have an open shelf..they are pretty tall though. I wish I could trade my heavy glass containers for more of these plastic ones..money spent on the wrong thing. Think beyond flour…how ’bout cereals, small bags of dog/cat/bird seed? Make some nifty labels on the computer or just cut out the label of the item & paste on your container, or just buy some plain labels at the store & write on there. If you are wanting to upgrade you kitchen tools or just enjoy being a foodie, these containers will make you happy. Now go buy a couple of them & I guarantee you will be ordering some more.

Customer Reviews:

sideswipe
i had all but stopped using my kitchen aid for anything but icings and whipped creams. i did not like having to stop drop and scrape down doughs and batters. i started using my handheld for cookies and cakes. the side swipe does a good job mixing the dough and scraping down the sides. its less messy and reduces the amount of time needed.

Works as promised
Although I think this is rather high in price, it does what it is supposed to do and I believe it is worth the money. I am purchasing another one for my daughter. The one complaint we have about the Kitchen Aid mixer is stopping to scrap down the bowl. With the bowl-lift this isn’t very easy or quick to do because the beater is in the way. The SideSwipe makes the scrapping of the bowl unnecessary. It works great!

No need to scrape!
I’d initially learned about this item while visiting my mom in Florida. We had stumbled upon a little kitchen supply shop in town and they were carrying them; alas, they were out of the size I needed…thank goodness I found them on Amazon.com!

My assessment: I just finished making my “infamous” New Year’s Eve clam dip and utilized the “Sideswipe” for the first time since I received it a few days ago. I can attest that this accessory does exactly what it’s intended to do; it scrapes (gently!) the sides of the bowl so effectively, there’s truly no need for you to do so, which will save you both time and energy! It offers easy clean up as well, making it an ideal Kitchenaid cook’s companion.

I highly recommend this product; just be sure to measure your existing beater blade (height and width), so you are sure to order the right size for your specific Kitchenaid mixer.

Happy Cooking!
