I need to replace my food processor and decided that the attachments to my Kitchen Aid mixer would do the trick; however, it only half does the trick. The slicer and grinder seem to work fine on the things that I have tried but the shredder has been somewhat of a disaster. Not what I was expecting. Cabbage and zucchini seems to get caught between the cone and the main housing thus coming out in chunks.

I recently purchased this set and I LOVE IT! I made my first 3 batches of homemade applesauce from fresh-from-the-orchard apples and canned around 25 quarts! The fruit/veggie strainer made it SOOOOOO easy! I just boiled the apples until they were soft, put them through the strainer/grinder attachment and basically what comes out it applesauce! You can add cinnamon and/or sugar if you want, but no other work needed! It was awesome, you don't even need to peel or core the apples, just slice them, cook them and that's IT! I have 3 children under the age of 5 and there is no way I could use a hand crank food mill to make it, but with these attachments, it's really, really easy! I will probably be using it again to make baby food!

This year with LOTS of apples, this thing is a real timesaver. It looks complicated to set up, but really isn't. I already had the slicer and grinder, so i donated the old ones to my son and wife. The new grinder is better as it is reinforced on the back side with metal. Maybe it won't crack like my old one did. But the old one still worked with the crack.

These attachments are great. However, the package i recieved did not come with the wooden plunger that is pictured. You need to have this to use the food grinder, and the food strainer. Nothing else (like wooden spoons, etc.) work for this purpose. Make sure you ask about that wooden plunger if you decide to purchase.
Other than that, the product would have been great and a great deal.

I purchased this for my Fiance because she was interested in making applesauce, applebutter, and she wanted to do some jellies and jams. Suffice it to say that it cut back the amount of work she had to do by almost 2/3rds. We didn't have to peel any of the apples or pears, it took the majority of the pulp from raspberries out and gave us pure juice.
If you have someone, or if you are someone that wants to get into canning or food processing, I would recommend this device as an attachment to your KitchenAide mixer. Well worth the investment.
