Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Shredder does a lousy job
Summary: 1 Stars
This review isn't far off from the others: the shredder shreds, but very poorly. I was excited to use it on some vegetables, since I like to make vegetable dumplings a lot (that's why I bought it). I never got past the first vegetable: a bottle-gourd squash. It's about the size of an eggplant with the firmness of a mealy apple. I didn't take the speed above 2, since it felt like I was already putting a strain on the motor, so I never had problems with stuff flying out.
Here's the fatal flaw: the gap between the the cone and the housing is too big, so giant flat chunks just go around until they either squeeze out the space between the front of the cone and the housing (the outer rim you see in the pictures) or get stuck there. I took the cone out and checked it a few times, re-assembling the whole attachment, because I thought perhaps I didn't get it in all the way, but the gap is normal.
It's hard to believe that people have reported the same problem since 2002 on this website and it hasn't been re-engineered. It's getting returned until they come out with a new one.
ADDENDUM: I had to edit this right after I returned to the kitchen!!
Before I began, I washed all the parts before I used them and set the three spare cones aside to dry while I used the shredder. They were standing on end, just as in the picture, for maybe an hour. After grating the vegetable and writing the review, I went back to box it up for return. When I picked up the three cones to dry them totally off, two had already left a rusted puddle of water. The reviews of the metal content are true.
Description of KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers
Love your KitchenAid Stand Mixer? Adding the RVSA Stand Mixer Rotor Slicer Shredder lets it do more - much more! Now you can slice and shred a variety of foods with this very helpful, handy accessory.This attachment performs the cutting and shredding duties your food processor might: select the proper cone, slip it into the plastic housing, and attach all to your stand mixer's hub with a metal shaft. You can shred potatoes, onions, nuts, and chocolate, or slice vegetables for cooking or munching. While it adds versatility to your mixer, the unit is cumbersome to disassemble--more so than KitchenAid's other nifty attachments--and its several parts make it difficult to store. Still, it's easier on your arms than manual slicing and shredding, especially for large quantities, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. --Betsy Danheim
