Deciding on whether or not to buy kitchen aid 12-cup ultrawide mouth food processor. Share your thoughts!

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query, I appreciate all responses!

What would you say of the kitchen aid 12 cup ultra wide mouth food processor? I have heard mixed reviews as to the ultra wide mouth, that it doesn't allow for good liquid amounts. I've also heard that the way the ultrawide mouth is positioned makes it so its processing capacity jar (12 cups) is more like one for 6 cups or less.

Please share your thoughts, reviews, etc. I prefer personal reviews and ones that are suited to my question about the feeding tube, however all responses are accepted and as much information provided the better!

Thank you so much!

How much does it cost? I have an el cheapo Hamilton Beach from Walmart, and it works pretty decently.

What will you be using it for? I have a Cuisinart and it is fine for general purposes, but if I were to make bread dough/pizza dough in it very often, it probably would not be tough enough to take it. I paid top price for it about 25 yrs. ago, and it has held up real good. I had to replace the original bowl about a yr. ago. I bought every attachment for it that was available and never use any of them. Such as a cheese grater, etc. Sometimes I use the basic grater to make a coleslaw but not that often. Mostly, I use it to shred cooked chicken meat for chicken salad sandwiches, 'n Tamale Pie, casseroles and for making a quick pie crust. Actually, I don't use it as much as I thought I would but I am glad I have it, as it does come in handy now and then.
