Ordered this a couple years ago, for the price I was very surprised to see it was Made in China. Kitchenaid had always been American made and known for its top notch quality. Not anymore. I should've sent it back then and there, but for some reason I didn't.
At first I was impressed. Seemed quiet, powerful, and worked really well. After a few months of usage though the handle of the bowl started getting crud jammed in it and it's very difficult to open up and clean due to the idiotic nanny safety shut off device inside. Instead of making the handle solid and relying on the fact that you're smart enough not to stick your fingers in it while it's running, there's a stupid interlock that shuts it off if you open the lid. Not long after the cheap plastic on this broke and the only way to operate it at all was to stick a toothpick into the switch on the base which is hard to do and use it at the same time.
Recently while using it, the motor completely burned out. This after only a couple years of light (maybe once weekly) usage. I opened the unit up to see if the brushes are serviceable and found the motor is molded into the plastic of the base! It can't even be removed. Typical completely disposable cheap chinese junk. It's obvious kitchenaid cut every possible corner on this. I tossed it in the trash where it belongs and picked up a used Made in USA Kitchenaid food processor from the 80s on an online auction site as a replacement and have no doubt it will far outlast this one.
Never again will I consider any Kitchenaid products.
