KitchenAid Vegetable Slicer/Grater - Accessories

I recently purchased the KitchenAid 5KSMVSA Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and I am absolutely thrilled with it! This accessory has made meal prep so much easier and faster, and I can’t imagine going back to doing things by hand. First, the setup is incredibly simple. It easily attaches to my KitchenAid stand mixer, and within seconds, I’m ready to start slicing and shredding. The different blades included are perfect for a variety of tasks—whether I’m slicing vegetables for a salad or shredding cheese for a recipe, it’s quick and effortless. The slicing and shredding are consistent and precise, which helps me save so much time in the kitchen. I’ve used it for shredding potatoes, slicing carrots, and even slicing cucumbers, and each time the results have been perfect. It’s a huge improvement over using a manual grater or slicer, as everything comes out evenly and without any mess. I also love how easy it is to clean. The attachment is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup a breeze after I’m done. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from KitchenAid, and I can tell this is an accessory that will last a long time. Overall, the KitchenAid 5KSMVSA Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder has been an excellent addition to my kitchen. It’s made my cooking and meal prep so much more efficient, and I highly recommend it to anyone who already owns a KitchenAid stand mixer. If you’re looking to save time and effort in the kitchen, this is a must-have accessory!

After my trusty, and at least 20 year old, plastic rotary cheese grater finally bit the dust, I decided to take the plunge and purchase this KitchenAid Prep slicer. I'd seen a few YouTube videos showing how simple it is to use, so I ordered one from HartsofStur yesterday. To my surprise, even though the free delivery was quoted by Amazon as 7 days, it came today :) To be honest, the only reason I wanted one of these was to grate cheese, as I'm finding that my slightly arthritic hands are finding this task more and more difficult as the years go by. The packaging and contents of this product just ooze quality, so although it isn't cheap, you can definitely see from the design of both, that this is a premium product. It comes with two graters, a medium and a coarse, plus a slicer, although like I said, I'd only be using the graters. Obviously, I had to give the grater its first outing, so shortly after the unboxing, I chose the coarser of the two graters, which fitted into the main housing with a satisfying click. It took me literally seconds to attach the device to my old KitchenAid Artisan mixer and I was just so pleasantly surprised at how easily and quickly it grated half a slab of my 1kg favourite mature cheddar. I just held a ziplock bag over the aperture of the device, so the grated cheese naturally fell into it. No mess, no fuss and I filled the bag in less than two minutes. I find if you leave any grated cheese in the fridge, it doesn't last that long, probably because of the now extra surface area plus all of the air surrounding each small piece, so I keep the grated cheese in the freezer and just use what I need and put the remainder back in the freezer. I'd seen some reviews that said that its better to put your slab of cheese in the freezer for about half an hour prior to grating but I didn't and I never had any issues with clumping etc. Maybe that's for softer cheese but my extra mature cheese was already firm enough. Cleaning the housing and rotary blades are simple and although it's only the three rotary blades that you can put in a dishwasher, I just gave everything a quick swill in the sink, which took no more than a couple of minutes. I highly recommend this KitchenAid Prep Slicer and if all you ever use it for is for grating cheese, you will be absolutely delighted with its performance. I certainly am.

Very good

I have been eyeing this for a while and finally bought it. I had high expectations, seeing as it's an original attachment. I used the larger grater and did some potatoes and sweet potatoes. It do grate well, however the grated potatoes didn't always come out on their own and the grating stopped working. No problem if you just make sure the grated food comes out/ empty the grater. Will keep it and keep using it. The housing is not allowed in the dishwasher unfortunately, the rest is fine to go in.

This product fits nicely onto my KitchenAid mixer and is very useful, makes preparing and presenting the vegetables so much easier and one can be more creative. I am experimenting with a number of vegetables and so far have been very impressed. KitchenAid has never disappointed me. Great and simple product, easy to use and clean.

I bought this gadget to help with vegetables I have arthritis in my hands ands fingers and thought it would help with chopping and grating but the blade for chopping makes veg to thinly sliced and two of the blades bent on first use also leaves big pieces at the end. The grater does as it says but leaves more in tool than in bowl. I am a big fan of kitchen aid but these are a big let down.. The white case that holds the tools became orange the first time I grated carrots and has stayed discoloured. When trying to slice veg it jams up and you have to take apart take veg out and then start again. It is now sitting in a cupboard never to be used again. Very very disappointed

This is a handy attachment and I use it a lot - mainly for cheese. However softer cheddar doesn't fair so well in it and there are clumps that are always pushed away behind the grater when you've finished. The slicer works OK with certain vegetables but not good with anything too soft. I get the idea, but the problem with this is cleaning afterwards. IT IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. The grating drums can go in the dishwasher, but the rest can't. The double type plunger to push food into the grater is impossible to clean and I can't see why they designed it that way. If you do a lot of grating - go for it, otherwise. I wouldn't bother unless you like washing up. A bit of a disappointment from KitchenAid surprisingly.

i loved the quality, i didn,t think it would be this good, well made easy clean . Couldn,t get a speedier delivery too. well done

Corta, rebana, ralla muy rápido, todo queda perfecto, es un gran aliado en la cocina de cualquiera.

J'ai utilise pour des carottes et ça a directement déteint. Il est maintenant orange mais il est fonctionnel !

I love this attachment. It removes and cleans easily, the only watchout is the ability to slice onions. If I haven't cut the chunks carefully the larger pieces can get stuck.

Perfekt grönsaksskärare. Lagom stor att ha på plats hela tiden. Lätt att rengöra. Och fantastiskt pris!
