Apparently Kitchenaid does not make them like they used to, they break down easily. While I do have Cuisinart that I bought ten years ago and it still work but I accidently broke it when the blade latch to machine , and we tried to pry to release it. So now , I need a new food processor and am shopping for one. Sadly, also a lot of cuisinart are now made in China and people are complaining that they also break down easily.
Kitchenaid will last you only between one to three years while Cuisinart will be two years or so. Make sure to hold on to that warranty. Or if you can buy an extended warranty.
I do have a kitchen aid mixer the most powerful one, 6 quart. And it did not even last two years. We looked into it , it was the gears, they worn out. Its true that they are all made of metal. But cheap metal, worn out all the time. Have to replace the metal gears every six or so months. I had to used my cuisinart food processor to make dough. Till now. i read the same problems with Kitchen aid food processor.
I am cautiously looking into Cuisinart, making sure that there would be extended warranty if I buy one. But if there are other brands out there, please post it.
