Great Slicing, Good Shredding

The most important feature of a food processor is how well it performs its central function; slicing and shredding ingredients. When it comes to slicing the KitchenAid KFP740 is fast and consistent, giving you hand-cut results at a speed even a professional chef could not match (as confirmed by 140+ positive user reviews). The shredding function is also fast but the consistency is not up to the same standard. This may be due to greater emphasis on chopping, as it is a more common task, or simply because consistent shredding is very difficult to achieve with any appliance.

Noise? What Noise?

Ok, the KitchenAid KFP740 isn’t silent, it is powered by a motor after all, but it is by far one of the quietest food processors on the market today. Whilst some could wake your baby or set your dog off into frenzied barking, the noise produced by this model is barely noticeable.

Compact With Capacity

Though holding up to 7 cups of ingredients, which is considered medium capacity for a food processor, the design of the KFP740 makes it quite compact and lightweight enough so that you won’t struggle getting it out of the cupboard. There are definitely smaller processors on the market, but we found this to be a good size for the capacity it provides when writing this KitchenAid KFP740 review.

Post-Use Cleanup

The bowl, blade and discs are all dishwasher friendly and detach easily after use. There are no difficult grooves, corners or space between the buttons for excess food to get stuck in; this can be a long-term problem eventually leading to malfunction with some other models.

If cleanliness (especially in appearance) is a primary issue then we would advise choosing a black or even red model over the white version, for obvious reasons.
