Product Description
Product Description
KitchenAid has progressed considerably since it launched the first domestic stand mixer, a classic iconic shape of the early 20th century, designed by one of the great American style gurus, Egmont Arens, back in 1937. There is now a complete KitchenAid® Artisan™ Collection that looks equally stylish and is made with the same attention to detail as it always was. The Collection is available in the widest range of colours on the market and includes a host of beautiful, functional appliances including a blender, toaster, espresso maker, burr grinder and food processor, as well as the original mixer. All of the products have the same tactile, 'retro' look, with solid knobs, buttons and smooth curved lines. Every item in the KitchenAid Collection is still assembled by hand from reassuringly solid die-cast metal parts, receiving the individual attention to detail vital to ensuring top performance and quality.
KitchenAid® stands for beautiful design, reliability, efficiency and effectiveness - built to look and feel good, but also built for function and hard work.
The KitchenAid attachment pack for the range of KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixers contains all the accessories you need to turn your mixer into a truly indispensable multifunctional "KitchenAid". The food grinder means you can mince meat and chop, the slicer and shredder enables you to grate and slice vegetables and the fruit and vegetable strainer allows for pureeing.
Product Description
KitchenAid has designed this set of 3 FPPC accessories to add to your 5KSM150 stand mixers functions.
This set includes a mincer (FGA), a sieve for fruit and vegetables (FVSP) and a cylindrical grater/slicer (MVSA) so you can chop, cut, filter, grate and slice all your ingredients.

The slicer works okay but traps some vegetables between the drum and the casing, and quite honestly is more trouble than it is worth unless you are slicing a large amount.
The mincer/grinder isn't really up to the job. Okay, but if you only want to do small batches. I found meat easier to mince when it had been cubed and partially frozen.
The price of this set in the UK is absolutely ridiculous. You can buy the identical set on Amazon.com for $99.99 (usually $116.99) which works out £50 / £58. If you have a friend/relative in the US, or are staying there for a couple of weeks you could order one on Amazon.com and get it delivered to your hotel. It will work on the UK machines. £50 is still a lot for the cost of this set, as it not particularly well made and, you would be better off buying a proper metal mincer/grinder and using a knife, a proper slicer, or for the brave, a mandolin.
By the way, the Kitchenaid Artisan is $199 (about £100) on Amazon.com, and can often be purchased from other other US retailers for around $159-$179. The UK price for the same mixer is £325, but unfortunately the US model is 110 volt, so not for our 220-240 power supply. I don't know how Kitchenaid and their distributors can justify over 100% mark-up to ship these to the UK. There's obviously some kind of price fixing going on, but while we continue to buy them at these inflated prices Kitchenaid will keep charging this.
The Kitchenaid Artisan is an excellent mixer, but at £325 are they a status symbol rather than value for money? The attachments are all overpriced. You could buy several good quality non-Kitchenaid appliances that will also last a lifetime for the same price.

This attachment for the kitchen aid fits onto the front of the mixer. It has several pieces and fittings and is a bit of a chore to fit, and also to clean afterwards. I mainly use ours to mince up cooked meat for rissoles and the like, as well as the onions and other vegetables to go with it and it works well, no problem with fat either.
In contrast to other reviews, I haven't even smelt as much as the oily smell of a burning electric motor, less still have the kitchen aid blow a gasket when using the attachment. Not something I can say of all of our fod processing equipment. I have killed a couple of appliances in the manner described elsewher. As far as I can tell when assembled correctly it works well. I have marked it down because of it's relatively high cost and because it is not so straightforward to assemble it means that we use it a lot less than we might do.
In summary: a useful device that is an effort to use, along with its high cost, this means it is not good value.

Having used the mincer attachment on a 250 watt mixer, the mincer blew the motor on the KitchenAid. I guess if you have one of the more powerfull mixers such as the 400 or 600 watt, then it would probably be ok, but don't use this attachment if you only have a 250 watt mixer.
