Philips 750 W Kitchen Food Processor HR7761/01 with Accessories for + 28 Functions [Energy Class A]

2019: After years of use I am delighted to say the machine is still working 100%. I use it every year to grate apples and pears prior to pressing for cider at 30 odd kilos per gallon. I've already made 7 gallons this year just from windfalls, that's a lot of apples to grate. The only glitch has been the central pin in the top of the thingie that drives the blades, getting pressed down a little. Probably because of my cider making. It was easy to pull it back out with a pair of pliers.-------8<-------Neat design a little lacking in places such as the feed shoot being a bit narrow. The instruction leaflet is poorly designed but contains all you need to know, except what the icons of food are supposed to be.The processor is easy to set up and cut yourself with the razor sharp implements. I tried to grate white cabbage using the large grater but it was too fine. Swapped for the deep slicer which lived up to its name as I inserted it in the holder. The cabbage came out okay (slightly blood red in places) but for large pieces of flat leaf that missed the cutter. The grinder seems a bit useless and too much of a faff.The emulsifier disk, a wobbly plate, makes the best and quickest mayonnaise I've ever done. Superb. No slow drizzle to get things going, just glug in the oil. The machine is worth it for that alone.

I've owned this food processor for a few months now and use it often. Here are my thoughts:1. It is lightweight - Much lighter than my old food processor so it is nice and easy to move around between surfaces2. It is powerful as hell! I haven't had any trouble using it on anything that I've made, including breadcrumbs, coffee grounds etc3. The attachments are easily interchangeable and I love the grating attachments. I have to admit I haven't used them all, but the ones I have used have worked awesomely4. I like the suction cups on the bottom, which seem to add a little more stability to the machine. My old food processor was much heavier and held itself to the counter, but the suction cups help keep this one held down5. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MINI GRINDER!!! We use it three or four times a day for coffee and it's brilliant.The only downside I've come across so far is that it can be difficult to clean the inside of the regular blade, since it is ridged on the inside. It's not a huge deal, and honestly, my old food processor was also difficult to clean, but just in a different way.Don't let this put you off buying this though, I love it so far and it works very well on pretty much everything you could throw at it (though I haven't had a go at using the blender yet!)

This was bought to replace an elderly Kenwood food processor whose motor is still working but whose plastic is crumbling! I did lots of research before buying.Plus points - lots of different graters, slicers, choppers etc. I like that it has a liquidiser goblet, a jug/bowl and a chopper all working off the same base unit. The cutters are SHARP - managed to cut myself unpacking and assembling for the first time! Lead stows away in the motor base. The bits do all more or less fit into the bowl and goblet if you want; I prefer to keep all the bits in a separate box however. Pulse and two speed motor are good. All the bits are reasonably easy to fit and remove. Dishwasher washable (except obviously the motor unit).Minus points - you need to fit goblet/bowl/cutter quite firmly to engage the motor. It is correspondingly quite hard to undo them. The plastic bowl and goblet seem to be lighter weight than my ancient Kenwood and I am not sure this machine will provide the 20 years' service that the Kenwood has. Time will tell.Verdict - better quality output than ancient Kenwood, bigger capacity, much more versatile and practical. Takes up no more space with more gadgetty bits. Definitely a hit. Would highly recommend.

Bought this to replace my 10 year old cheap Kenwood processor that the motor and bearings were on their last legs. It is well made, the powerful motor and sharp blades makes easy work of blending, chopping and grating. The emulsifier disk whisks cream well.However, the small bowl is a real pain. Not only is the blade difficult to add and remove as it is such a tight fit (unlike the jug assembly), if you add any liquid to your ingredients (e.g. water when grinding garlic and ginger to get the process started) when you eventually detach the blades, you cannot cleanly pour the contents out. As you don't want to wreck the motor base by getting puree or water on the gears, you have to wash and dry the bowl lip if you need re-use it, say for some chilli and coriander. I have pretty much abandoned using it now and use the jug blender instead with slightly larger quantities.All in all, a well made piece of kit which should last for years but let down by the poor design of the small bowl. If the manufacturer had built the blades into the bowl base and allowed you to detach the lid instead, this would have made that particular attachment much easier and more practical to use.
