Excellent food processor with the only drawback – only available in USA and Canada
The Vitamix food processor is a brilliant attachment that combines the strength of the Vitamix motor with food processing. The attachment is a smart tool that gears down the speed of the food processor spindle by seven-fold. It is pretty easy to test this theory by comparing the rotation of the axle that attaches to the coupling device on the motor and the rotation of the axle that the S-blade/ discs attaches to. The food processor makes smooth humus and is a great tool of making nut butters. The benefit of using the food processor to make nut butter is that it is easier to clean than using the blender jug. The only mistake that Vitamix has made is in the instructions for making nut butter – it is not possible to make nut butter in 2.5 minutes in a food processor. The real time is about 5-10 minutes and it will require several attempts. Attached is a photo showing the nut butter – it is pretty comical that it is rolled into a ball but it definitely is nut butter. It is a shame that Vitamix has no intentions to release this attachment outside USA and Canada as many Vitamix users around the world would find it incredibly useful.

Exceeds expectations
Just received the Vitamix Food Processor attachment. I’ve had it three days and in every instance I’ve used it, it’s exceeded expectations. It is well built and very high quality. When I first heard about it, I winced at the price. Vitamix makes premium products and has premium support. I’ve owned it’s blenders for 20+ years and this product meets if not exceeds the quality standards I’ve come to expect.First, the product is impressive. It’s very solid. Everything fits tight. The bowl and lid are made of heavy gauge materials — much heavier than the competitor’s product I’m replacing. The slicing/grating discs are easy to handle and store in their own handy case. In fact, all the parts are made to be stored in one compact package. Incredible.I bought it because I had an 11-cup food processor and wanted something slightly larger. I also wanted to eliminate some clutter in our kitchen. We keep the Vitamix on the counter for easy access because we use it daily. Converting the base from blending to chopping, mixing, slicing and grating is very simple. Its grating and slicing capabilities are also superior to other food processors I’ve owned. It’s quiet and has a very solid sound when you turn it on. Clearly, Vitamix thought this product through before offering it.Just finished making a bowl of Pico de Gallo, something the blender struggles with. And other food processors haven’t performed well, either. The Vitamix FP turned tomatoes, cilantro, onion and jalapeños into a uniformly mix perfectly chopped. I also found it to be easier to clean than previous food processors I’ve used.I’m looking forward to many hours of superior food preparation with this wonderful and high quality kitchen device. Thank you Vitamix!

Great addition to an accent series blender
This thing is quite powerful yet not as loud as the blender attachment. The multi-use blade has a similar function to the blender while not being as loud. You can’t control the speed, so you use time to increase the processing. the lower-priced Amazon kit is great it would be even better if they sold the food processor alone with the multi-use bade and the discs separately to reduce the price. You may find yourself using this often as it comes apart much easier than the blender pitcher and is just so much quieter. we learned the hard way to be careful cleaning the plastic these pitchers are made of. Hopefully, it doesn’t develop any cracks or damage from long-term use, but it does have a three-year warranty which is longer than a one-year manufacturer warranty of cheaper products. It is difficult to close and open, but the key is to just hit it with your closed fist in a palm strike or karate chop motion. Or, hit it with the back of the blender tamper. Also, you must use two hands on each side to safely open it. I don’t have very long nails and did break one one time trying to open it with one hand. The closure needs some redesign, but it is workable. Sadly some people returned these for this reason. I do think it’s worth criticizing, but is not worth more than a 1 star deduction.

You have to have a Vitamix base
I really like this food processor attachment. I have had a number of processors but this one so far does everything it says it will do. I have made biscuit dough and they were more flacky than mine, same recipe. I also made my favorite pie crust which makes 4 pie crust, You just put the ingredients in as you would and turn it on. So easy. I love the fact that all of the attachment parts go into my dishwasher and comes out looking great. I have also shredded, chopped and sliced so far it works well.

This is NOT a compact unit! But if you need to prepare up to 12 cups of food, this Vitamix food processor is great. I also have the extra blades available for it. I’ve used all the blades for different preparations and was never disappointed. To be honest, I use the basic “S” blade most of the time, but the slicer blades come in handy every now and then. Cleaning is easy with water and you can use soap (on the automatic wash cycle). It is dishwasher safe, but I always clean it my hand.

Despite saying “Compatible with Ascent” in the title, this product ONLY WORKS WITH USA VITAMIXES. It should not be available to ship to NZ/AUS or anywhere outside the US. It is completely irresponsible of the vendor to be offering it for sale outside of the US without making it extremely clear that it will not work in most countries.

The vitamix processor attachment works great!. The only but I have is I purchased this as a discounted item f4om Amazon warehouse. A small demarcation on the lid was listed. Unfortunately whoever had it first had washed it with an abrasive scrub pad, so all the plastic has mild demarcation which was not advertised. It is not a big deal but I wish it was noted as it is in the food bowl and all clear and black surfaces.

So frustrated as cannot return or befit from this expensive Christmas present for my wife. And, since I purchased as Christmas present, in advance, can lo longer return 🙁

After assembling the processor as per instructions and placing it on our existing Ascent machine, there was an error symbol that just would not go away. We contacted Vitamix Australia to see if there was anything else that we should be doing. As soon as I mentioned that I had purchased a Vitamix Food Processor Attachment, the person asked me if I had ordered it through Amazon; when I confirmed that that was the case, the verdict was that the US product was not compatible with the Australian Series. Apparently, there has been talk about having a compatible processor here for some years now, but there is no indication of when/if there will be one. Maybe it would be better if Amazon did not advertise or sell this product at all. It’s true that there is no problem with returning it, but it is all a big waste of time, and creates false expectations, as we were all fired up to start using it as soon as it arrived. That is the reason for the 1 star.Apart from that, I am still happy with the way Amazon operates, including the easiness of returns and refunding. To this I would give 5 stars.
