KitchenAid Rotor Slicer Shredder Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer RVSA

Good set for my mother's Kitchenaid and all Kitchenaid robot stands. The company came out with new tools that replace these ones, but after having talked with people about it I opted for the good old ones. They are resistant, robust and reliable. Great to start meals everyday: I use mine a lot to prepare carrot or cabbage, etc. salads as starters or, potatoes for gratin just to cite a few examples...Easy to insert in and to take out from the Kitchenaid stand thanks to a plastic housing piece with its metal shaft these 2 slicers and 2 shredders (there is a thin or coarse option for each of them) are made of stainless steel so you will never have any problems with rust. I love the fact all the parts are easy to wash by hand. I use cold water especially for carrots because I do not want the plastic to be stained. Kitchenaid included a user manual in case of.

I bought this attachment to shred cheese, and it performs this function beautifully. I have not yet used the attachment for anything else so I can't comment on shredding/slicing vegetables, but if you want to shred cheese, you can shred an entire block in less than a minute. I was worried because so many people were having trouble getting the unit back off the kitchen aid. The first time I used this product, that was absolutely the case. I was so frustrated. I re-read the instructions and read some reviews, and now I can get the whole thing together and apart in a matter of seconds. In fact, it takes me less than 6 minutes TOTAL to shred an entire block of cheese when you count (1) getting the unit out (2) assembling unit (3) shredding cheese (4) washing unit (5) drying unit and (6) putting it away. If it is useful, I might create a quick how-to video for set up and disassembly, but for now, here are some To set up your unit: (1) Attach white base to the kitchen aid. Screw it in tightly and check to ensure it is level and does not wiggle. (2) There is a square hole in the white base. Place the square end of the long metal attachment into it. Fit the bottom of the desired cone to the top of the long metal attachment. Turn gently until it locks. (3) Insert cone (with long metal attachment sticking off the end) into the white base. Give it a gentle turn, then ensure it is locked. Attachment is now ready to use. To disassemble your unit: (1) Lift up little metal lever, located where the white base attaches to the kitchen aid. Pull cone out of the attachment head while lifting that lever. IMPORTANT: Do not try to remove the attachment from the cone, this will not work! Instead, pull the entire cone out with the metal attachment still intact. (2) Insert the long metal attachment into the square hole on the white base. Give it a gentle turn, and the attachment will be removed from the cone. (3) Remove attachment base from kitchen aid (make sure to unscrew where it attaches to mixer first. Sometimes a gentle rock back and forth will be needed to loosen it) It really is that easy. If you don't follow the instructions exactly then you will wind up quite frustrated. Once you figure it out, it really is super easy and super fast. LOVE this attachment! Read more

I originally bought a brand new food processor from target for my wife who loves to cook, but when she went to shred potatoes the food processor produced toxic smoke as the food processor engine was too weak to handle shredding potatoes! Initially I shied away from buying this product due to all the negatives reviews, but I have to say ignore the negative reviews this product is outstanding, and quite literally the single best product I have ever bought! My wife loves to cook and uses the shredding attachment constantly, whether to shred potatoes to make latkes or to shred cheese to make homemade pizza or many other recipes that utilizes this awesome product! this attachment is wonderful and way better then any food processor you could purchase. Bottom line the Kitchen Aid Stand mixer engine is more powerful and more efficient then any food processor or cheap kitchen gadget. Also, I bought this product over a year ago on April 11, 2011 it is now May 11, 2012 and after extreme heavy use there is ZERO rust, I should know because I wash the dishes. Read more
