    Possibly true. We can't compare it to an expensive food processor, but it is definitely a massive improvement over our old $50-$100 food processor... making nut butters is drastically faster and they come out much smoother. Reasons I went for this attachment over an expensive food processor is because I figured this attachment would take a bit less storage space than a full other machine, and because our Vitamix has a 10 year warranty, whereas most food processors have a 1-3 year warranty, so I'm less worried about burning the motor out. Also, some of the nicer food processors can get pretty damn expensive... the Breville 12 cup is $300, and a Vitamix with this attachment probably performs closer to a $300 Breville than a $100-$200 KitchenAid or Cuisinart, but who knows.

    Love my vitamix blender. I don't like this attachment and it's not worth it. You want to shred cheese? Chunks of it will get caught in the corners, There is about a 4mm gap between the lip of the feed tube and the blade. When you finish a chunk of cheese it will just throw that chunk around the blade. It's also much too large for most needs and it's a pain in the ass to clean. I routinely go back to using my three cup kitchen aid for most things.

    I really can't believe no one has mentioned the noise this thing generates. I'm not kidding when I say use ear protection. We bought it for all the same reasons. Saving space etc, but if I'd have known how loud this is I would have waited for the Cuisinart 14 cup to go on sale. The Cuisinart has long been the gold standard for non commercial good processors and is still America's test kitchen's highest rated.

    This is a poor choice. For this money, you can get a proper Cuisinart.

    The financial aspect of the purchase is certainly a relevant factor, there are other factors that people may be dealing with such as space limitations. Also, many already have the VitaMix, so there are likely use cases where this is certainly a viable option. I'm not aware of anyone, or VitaMix for that matter, specifically claiming this attachment outperforms the best-in-class stand alone food processors, though I may be mistaken on that. 🤷 ♂️

    I truly believe there's a market for a 3rd party to offer a food processor attachment for the legacy Vitamix bases, like my 7500. I don't need multiple motorized bases. I also have another brand's base with mixer and food processor attachments, which the 7500 is replacing, and the brittle latches on the food processor lid broke, requiring at least one well-placed hand on top pressing down at all times. Can't find a replacement lid, and just the FP attachment costs as much as the whole 3-piece kit. There has to be a happy medium.

    More modularity, more replacement parts availability, less disposable consumer designs - please!

    I had the cuisinart and it does the same thing, and the shredder attachment is way better on the vitamix, no crazy adapter.

    They can't as vitamix motors are direct drive cooling so if someone loads it up on a low speed they can't cool effectively. The smart series identify the attachment and limit to less damaging settings. Vitamix needs to come out with a smart 2.0 where cooling is a dedicated fan independent of motor speed.

    I have this food processor and where it shines is in wet things where the cuisinart's low liquid line allows it to self drain under the blade. We don't make dough in it (have a kitchenaid) and I do peanut butter in the blender because food processing a nut butter doesn't make sense when you already own a vitamix.

    Vitamix's are like tanks. They last a long time. So much so, ours, maybe 10-12 years old from Costco, none of these accessories fit. Seems pretty useful, cheaper than buying a whole new food processor.

    I appreciate all the great deals people post here, saving me lots of money. I'm a guy on the cheap. But my wife, awesome cook, finally deserved better. So I got her a Breville Sous Chef 16. That's a beautiful tank! I had a $50 Pottery Barn gift card from nearly 20 years ago. I got nothing to buy there. What, I can get two napkins for $50 there anyway, right, lol. So I applied the gift card towards the purchase at Williams Sonoma. Breville is solid. Way better than this Vitamix attachment. Hopefully will last 20 years. Can't always go cheap. Sometimes you gotta do what's best. God bless.

    I have a 5200 and frankly, I have a Ninja for large food processing and a Kitchenaid for smaller chops.

    I don't think I would pay $100+ (especially not $150) just for a processor attachment unless I was seriously doing some major things in life.

    Interesting, I didn't realize the cooling was coupled to the shaft speed. It's new to our household. I have some tools that work on the same premise. Thanks for the info.

    personally not being able to control the speed of the blades is what I don't like the most. Personally the best shredder is the Kitchenaid shredder attachment. You pop your selected shred size in the attachment and can choose the speed you want.

    I own a Vitamix a2500 and this food processor attachment. I bought both last year at Costco roadshow, with the food processor attachment costing me $160.

    I find it good enough for chopping up a bunch of veggies on meal prep day. I also bought a block of Kirkland Parmesan cheese I'd like to shred with it. Which blade to use ? Also what are other things I can do with this ? Can it make pizza dough ? Or is a bread maker better for that ? I have made peanut butter in the blender that has been delicious. Trying to figure out more ways to use the food processor I already own.
