Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of T-Fal 67610 Kaleo Store Away Food ProcessorCustomer Review: It dices! It slices! It makes mounds of...you know the rest. Summary: 5 Stars
So far this is one terrifically designed little work-horse of a food processor! I'm thrilled with the capabilities. For a mid-size model it's very convenient, doesn't bog down with heavy work, and has nifty little features I love.The lid is an easy on/off. There is a dial, not push buttons/control panel. Dials seem sturdier and longer lasting IMO. So far I have made shredded zucchini, sliced cucumbers, salsa, juice, & whipped cream with nary a glitch. I'm really happy with several features. 1. The base that stores away the attachments. I need all the space I can get and it works nicely. 2. There are two foods slots in the lid, one for bigger food one for smaller. I made sliced pickles in this machine and without the smaller slot the cukes would have toppled and the slices wouldn't be uniform. It worked great having two sizes. 3. The part that pushes the food through doubles as a measuring cup (1 cup size) on one side and a drip dispenser on the other for slowly drizzling liquids into sauces. This comes in handy for making things like mayo. 4. The whipping blade! AWESOME! You will never make whipped cream as fast as this. It took ten seconds. The only drawback is that you can overwhip if you're not extremely careful. I'm serious--this thing whips like nothing I've ever seen. 5. The citrus juicer worked like a dream. The container has a pour spout so you won't dribble juice when you go to pour. 6. All the attachments are easy to put on and also easy to store away. In conclusion--I haven't used every feature (the kneader for instance) but this is a little dream machine so far, and I don't want to be without it now. The taste of fresh salsa alone is worth the price. The extra features at no extra charge are a selling point. Now I'll see how it lasts under the heavy use my family will put on it. If it's a lemon my review will be changed, but it doesn't seem to be. The plastic is of good quality, it doesn't bog under heavy use like other [inexpensive} models I've used, and it's made in France as opposed to Korea. I think this is a great FP!
Description of T-Fal 67610 Kaleo Store Away Food ProcessorWhen not in use, this 450-watt food processor sits on an oval plastic box that stores all the processor's various blades and accessories--with the exception of the citrus juicing attachment. It has a 6-cup work bowl that locks quickly and easily to the power base with the twist of a knob that also sets the processor for either continuous or pulse operation. Unlike most processors, the bowl doesn't have a funnel in the center through which the post driving blades protrudes. Instead, driven by a gear in the bowl's bottom, the post is removable. That permits easier cleaning of the bowl, though the presence of the gear somewhat negates the advantage. One clear advantage is the bowl's drip-resistant pouring lip. Another is the leak-resistant seal on the lid, which has a dual feed tube with small and large openings. In addition to the basic stainless-steel chopping blade, two slicing blades and two shredding blades (all stainless steel), a plastic dough kneader, and a plastic disk for beating egg whites and whipping cream accompany the processor. Also included are a plastic spatula and an instruction booklet with 40 basic recipes. The plastic bowl and lid and all accessories are dishwasher-safe. Sitting on the storage box, the processor measures 9-1/4 inches wide, 14-1/4 inches high, and 14 inches deep. It's clad in plastic and easily wipes clean. --Fred Brack
