is it easier to clean than the kitchenaid food processor?

I have never had a Kitchenaid food processor, but have had a Cuisinart 14-cup FP for 30 years.It is exceptionally easy to clean with no hard-to-get-to areas.

In my opinion, yes - very easy to clean. When in prep mode, I've often just rinsed the bowl and blade(s) and moved on to the next thing to chop/slice. I've washed everything in the top rack of my dishwasher and the bowl doesn't come out clouded or spotty. The unit itself is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth to remove splatter etc. Believe me, I wouldn't use it as much as I do if it were a pain-in-the...to clean.

My Cuisinart cleans up quickly and easily. But, be very careful, the blades are sharp!

Since I've never used a Kitchen Aid food processor, I cannot compare the two. I can say that I give the Cuisinart parts a good rinse, then the dishwasher does a splendid job of getting them Cuisinart clean.

Honestly, I don't know. It's super easy to clean though. I don't have a dishwasher and it's a breeze.

I wish I could answer your question from experience, but I never owned a Kitchenaid food processor. I originally owned an off brand before I bought the 14 cup Cuisinart. I can only tell you that I am able to rinse off each piece easily under a running kitchen faucet. Then I use a soapy dish wash pad to completely clean by hand. But the shoot has areas that may trap food, so it sometimes needs to go in the automatic dishwasher, to get that kind of detail (but that is rare). I just finished a large batch of batter and took note of the effort to rinse and soap clean. It only took 2 or 3 minutes, with no injuries from sharp edges. I hope you get this processor.

Easiest appliance to clean that I have ever owned. Just wipe the top and bottom with a wet paper tower. If anything is stuck, add water and wait 10 minutes then dump and wipe clean. The tray, wire rack and cupcake pan come out and can go into the dishwasher. I use this oven for everything including: poached eggs and steamed vegetables , cook bacon, wipe it clean and cook any type of egg, warm up frozen leftovers, etc.

its not hard to clean. I use it everyday and I just throw the parts in the dishwasher and wipe the outside of the motor housing. The 'extra large" feed shute is bigger than the last one that I had which doesnt tell you much, but it has been sufficient for me, and I use mine at work where we feed about 50 people a day and it does the job very well. Im happy with it so far

It is relatively easy to clean. I use the brush to brush away the hairs, then I hold the heads under running water. You can NOT place the unit under water. I then run the razor upside down over the sink and let the remains run out. Then I wipe it dry. It is important to clean after each use or the machine will catch and pull. I know!

No better or worse than any other pasta machine. Keep in mind you cannot submerse or put this in a sink of water. The best way to clean it is to actually run pasta through it before and after use to pull all the little bits out.. I also let it sit out overnight and dried pasta falls right out- so I would say no it is not difficult to clean. (also note that this is true for any pasta machine- you can't submerse or use soapy water on them).

Based on my experience it is top drawer dishwasher safe. On the other hand, I have just thrown mine away because the seal between the bowl and lid is very bad and always results in leakage and a clean up. Get a true food processor or blender. You can get a very nice food processor from Proctor-Silex for about $35 (Proctor Silex 70452A 8-Cup Bowl Food Processor). A much better and more versatile device.

It is very easy to clean. This is a great food processor. No hidden places.

Not easily Patricia. It basically takes two hands. One to hold the body of the chopper, the other to push down on the plunger. I then just held the blades under hot running water. The blades have a very good finish on them, so the food particles rinsed off easily.Not wanting to break it, I couldn't see how it could come apart for easier cleaning. Hope this helps.

Yes! The clean up is SO EASY. There is a pouring lip at the corner and it's lightweight and a manageable size. When I'm not going to use it for a ewhile, I pour hot soapy water into the reservoir and rinse it out. Otherwise, you can just paper towel it between uses. This is perfect for 2 people and takes up very llittle space on the counter. It heats up fast and uses less energy than bigger fryers. I love it.

I don't think it's easier to clean than a regular blender. Wouldn't you just want a stick blender, or do you need to crush ice? This machine is pretty good for making smoothies.

I personally think the Nutrimill is easier to clean, as the only thing that gets dirty really is the top hopper and the bottom bowl, both of which clean up easily, and it's very practical because you can use it at different settings for other things, and it takes up less space on the counter too.

Mine does a good job with the larger 'grater' side, and the 'slicer' side does nicely for potatoes; but the other two sides not only make a big mess, they are really hard to get clean - even in the dishwasher. It is dishwasher-safe though, so I'd buy it again if I needed to.

Yes, it's tricky. I tried a toothbrush with little success. Then I found at the drugstore a small, rather stiff brush similar to a fingernail brush, and this did the trick. We have three of the Brotform bowls to clean at the same time, so easy cleaning is a priority. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours.

No but I have not found it to be difficult to clean. You may need to soak overnight at times

I am not sure if I have had both to compare. Mine is the 5 speed and I am happy with that. What I liked most is that the regular and dough beaters are stronger than the ones I had with my last Kitchenaid.

I have both the ricer and a food mill as well. The ricer is easier to use and much quicker to clean up. I also find that the potatoes always come out perfect with not too much effort. Would a good food mill work? absolutely.. but this is much quicker for me and the results are always consistant. Hope this helps.
