Gavler Meta-Score

“The 7-cup KitchenAid. Cabinet-sized Snap-and-Go. Too small if you shred for a crowd — that is the Custom 14 or KFP1318.”

Community Rating77%

Food Network named the KFP0718 its Best Compact pick: even dicing, quick Parmesan and pie crust, but slower on pesto than stronger motors and a narrow feed tube. TechRadar (Cesci Angell) tested the UK twin of this model (5KFP0719; TechRadar lists the KFP0718 as the US equivalent) and praised the build and in-bowl storage. Its complaints were a loud Pulse, a right-hand-only bowl handle and a single shred grade. Community scores move with votes.

Do you think KitchenAid 7-Cup (KFP0718) deserves the #8 spot in Best Food Processors?

Global Critique

“We found that it easily and uniformly diced an onion, made short work of grinding Parmesan and pulled together pie crust in a few pulses.”

Food Network

“One thing to note: The feed tube isn't very wide, so if you're processing a lot of vegetables or fruit at one time, be sure to cut them accordingly and perhaps allow for a little extra time.”

Food Network

“Its components look high quality and it made quick work of processing tougher ingredients like carrots and almonds.”

TechRadar

“There is only one grade of shredding, which seems to be somewhere between fine and medium.”
