a good purchase

Well worth the money for this food processor--well built with many of options & features.
Bread blade works well, as do the other attachments. We like the juicer, and all the parts wash easily. The three sized bowls make clean up easier
It does take up some counter room, but well worth not having to pull it out every time you want to use it.
This processor is so quiet that at first I was afriad it wasn't working correctly, but I was so excited when I realized it was becuase I can still hear the radio while I'm cooking.
I would recommend this purchase to anyone who wants to do some serious processing (more than just your weekend hummus maker...).

so far, great!

I wasn't sure whether to stick with Cuisinart (my Cuisinart worked like a champ and was my mother's who used it regularly, then passed it on to me. I also used it a few times a week, so That processor was well over 30 years old! that's some testament to Cuisinart's longevity and quality)
After doing a lot of research, I decided to give the K.A. 760 a try because even though it seemed very similar to the Cuisinart, there were additional features on it I liked that a comparable Cuisinart lacked.
I've only had this food processor for a week but I've used it many times: I make my dog's food and it has ground/processed raw chicken breasts, whole eggs,fruit and veggies just fine. I've grated cheese, and sliced and julienned veggies which came out perfectly, and I've used the accompanying work bowls which make different jobs very convenient.
I made dough for pies which also came out very well and not over-processed. (That is something, of course, which one can regulate themselves for the most part)
I haven't tried yeast doughs in it yet because I prefer to make those in my Pro Kitchen Aid stand mixer. But I'm looking forward to using the juice press just for kicks.
My only gripe is the instruction booklet, which I found a little disorganized and vague at times. But since I've used food processors for a long time, this machine seemed intuitive enough on its own without the booklet. Nifty machine so far, and highly recommended.
(PS-- I meant to give this 5 stars but couldn't get back into that option on the amazon site)

awesome product, awesome support

I bought this unit in September and it is so strong and fast that I laugh when I use it!! It slices potatoes and apples so fast my boys all line up to watch it work. It handles big chunks and odd shapes. It is fun to use.

The main reason I'm writing a review, however, is to let you know about the awesome customer support you'll receive if you buy KitchenAid. Yesterday I was slicing apples for apple sauce -- I wanted to make a big batch, so I had 10 big apples ready to slice. I put too many in! All of the sudden the slicing disk was trying to slice the underside of the cover of the unit. Argh!! This morning I called KitchenAid and explained the situation. Guess what? They are shipping me a brand new unit, with all new accessories and everything, along with a return shipping label for me to return the broken unit. WOW. Order KitchenAid and you'll have an incredibly strong, fun machine to use; and when you get in trouble, their customer support will bail you out!
