Product Description

The KitchenAid Pro Line Food Processor is a commercial quality tool for the Home Chef. This incredibly stable, die-cast metal base stands up to the most intensive use while providing exceptionally quiet operation. The powerful 950-Watt motor will power your way through the toughest jobs, while the 16-Cup work bowl will have the capacity for the largest jobs. The Chef's Bowl (included), is the ultimate time saver: the bowl fits inside the work bowl and allows the slicing and shredding of a second food item without stopping to clean the work bowl first. The Mini Bowl (included) transforms the Pro Line food processor into a mini-chopper. The Ultra Wide Mouth Feed Tube will save time by accommodating large items-like tomatoes, cucumbers, and potatoes. The premium quality stainless steel mulitpurpose blade chops, minces, blends, mixes, or emulsifies foods quickly and easily. Bowls, blades and discs are dishwasher-safe, and the base can be wiped clean.

Customer Reviews

KitchenAid KPFP850PM Pro Line Food Processor, Pearl Metallic
I used to own the KFP670WH which was rated #1 by Consumer Reports and was great but unfortunately now discontinued!
I recently had to buy another food processor and saw KitchenAid had the "Tim Taylor" version of my previous model. I am quite disappointed with it and don't think it is worth the $450 I paid.
It is massive! Eats up counter space.
The shredder disk only comes in a 4mm version which I don't like for grating carrots or other similar vegetables. It is too coarse. They also didn't include reversible disks so you could increase your shredding options as you can with its smaller counterpart model.
When using the chef's bowl and the shredding disk, the outer bowl gets dirty on the rim so you still have to wash it. When grating carrots this is not good! Carrots stain the plastic so you end up washing two bowls.
Large pieces of carrots get lodged between the disk and the cover so you have to open the cover and remove the food.
I haven't used it extensively but I have contacted Kitchenaid and expressed my dissatisfaction.
Bigger is not always better

Very disappointing product with serious design flaw. Don't waste your $
This food processor seemed perfect - large enough and powerful enough to do almost anything! However, it was brought to its knees by grating cheese. I tried to grate mozzerella for pizza and the top flew off, spraying cheese everywhere. I called Kitchaid and they suggested I had a faulty item, and offered to exchanged it. The same thing happened with the next one.. and the next one... To Kitchaid's credit, they handled the exchanges very well. Finally, Kitchaid replaced my food processor with another model - a 12 cup smaller version, which has been fabulous, and grates mozzeralla just fine. I called recently to find out if they have addressed this design flaw as I really liked the idea of such a large powerful machine, but was told the design was not changed. I feel it is irresponsible of Kitchenaid to keep selling a product with an obvious problem. Don't waste your money on this one.

I have a commercial kitchen and this is the perfect size for my small business. I love the flexibility of the 3 different sized bowls. Heavy duty and easy to use.
