KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor KFP0718ER
Score: 69/100
Cuisinart Continuous Feed 9-Cup
Score: 74/100Rankings
Cuisinart 9-Cup Continuous Feed Food Processor provides versatile blades, reversible discs, and a continuous-feed attachment for efficient high-volume shredding. The undisclosed motor power and lack of a safety lock are notable compromises. Great for small families seeking a compact yet feature-rich processor.
The KitchenAid Empire Red 7-cup processor offers a clever all-in-one storage solution and snap-and-go bowl design, making it easy to set up and clean in small kitchens. Its limited bowl capacity and plastic base may not satisfy users needing larger batches or a more premium feel. Ideal for single cooks or couples who value compactness and convenience.

Professional reviewers commend the KFP0718ER for its compact, lightweight design, snap-and-go bowl and intuitive 3-speed LED controls, noting it excels in small-batch prep and limited countertop spaces. However, they point out the lack of publicly available performance metrics and the modest 7-cup capacity, which makes it less suitable for larger households or demanding tasks compared to bigger KitchenAid models.
Everyday users consistently praise the processor's small size, easy handling, and the clever all-in-one storage that keeps parts together. The quick assembly and cleaning are highlighted as major conveniences, while the primary criticism revolves around the limited bowl capacity for larger meals.
“Lighter weight than most food processors, yet still so powerful. It's very convenient in that everything stores together, no misplaced pieces!”
“Great machine, fast and easy to use, clean and store.”
“Very strong! ... 9 cup and I used to have a 7 cup.”
Professional reviewers commend the FP-9CF for its versatile universal blade, reversible slicing/shredding discs, and especially the continuous feed attachment that handles large volumes of vegetables. They also appreciate the compact design, easy assembly, dishwasher-safe parts, and the included recipe guide, though they note the absence of a safety lock and undisclosed motor wattage as drawbacks.
Everyday users praise the processor for its speed, ease of use, cleaning simplicity, and the larger 9-cup capacity that feels powerful for small families. Common complaints focus on the high placement of the main blade, food sticking in the shredding bowl, and the lack of a safety lock, with some users feeling it underperforms on heavy chopping tasks.
