- KitchenAide RVSA Slicer/shredder Attachment
- My wife was very pleased with the purchase of this product. Makes terrific Cole Slaw.
- A must have if you HATE to grate cheese. This gadget is easy to use and fun. The only draw back is the metal shaft that connect the blade to the machine is very hard to remove after use. I have to use vise grips to get it off.
- I love this attachment.
My favorite use for it is to make potatoes au gratin from scratch. I use the slicer to slice the potatoes, and the shredder to shred the cheese. It is a dream to shred cheese with, it goes in no time flat.
A hint for getting the shredding cone off the bolt; after you take the assembly off, insert the bolt back into the machine with the cone attached (without the housing) and just turn the cone with the machine holding the bolt in place. The cone will pop right off.
- Well worth the money. Quality construction, sturdy stainless steel attachments that are built to last. Easy to change out slicer to shredder when you use the built in "gripper". Some people need to read the owners manual to learn how to use their equipment properly.
- Nemesis of all things cheese!
- This is a large, heavy-duty attachment. It takes up a lot of storage space, but it is absolutely worth it.
I have a giant Cuisinart food processor, but when I want to convert a block of cheese into a bowl of shreds, this is what I reach for every time. One of the best things about it is that it shreds directly into an external bowl, so it can't get full, or compress the cheese. If the bowl starts getting full, I just turn it off, put another bowl in front of it, and turn it back on. It gets power directly from the drive shaft of the stand mixer, so nothing slows it down.
My salad shooter is now relegated to the basement!
- It hold's what it promised. This Thing is really durable. I worked in a lot of business kitchen. And my dream was, getting a kitchen aid, since I live here.
- Sturdy construction - gets the job done quickly. Easy to clean. I love this tool!!!
- I've seen a number of complaints about removing the cones on this attachment. It has been a while since I've used any older versions of this accessory but I recently purchased one locally. If one looks at the 12 o'clock part of the face of the plastic hopper/housing there is a square hole just the right size to insert the shaft then twist a cone on or off. It is explained very well in the kitchenaid website product guide.

I have only used it to shred cheeses but was reading these reviews for some new Kitchenaid ideas.
- I have had my shredder slicer for about 5 years now and I love it!
It is perfect for shredding cheese and I found it made coleslaw in a snap.
You just throw it in the dishwasher when you are done!

- Why can't they design good products?
1. The sides of the attachment are so short that when you grate at high speed, the food just flies everywhere. If you grate at lower speed, it really does not do a good job, plus it takes much longer. Beware: the low-watt machines are really not strong enough to grate/slice hard food, like hard cheese. The machine makes a strained noise.
2. The metal shaft which attaches the cone to the mixer is very hard to screw on and to remove.
3. The pushers that allow you to push the fund down are attached to the unit, but they will not stand upright, nor flip the other way (this is hard to explain unless you look at the attachment). This means they are constantly falling inwards, where you put the food, which means one hand has to be holding them up, and is thus wasted, whilst you are only left with the other hand to handle the food. If you're three-armed of course, it's not a problem.
In Europe, you can buy Kenwood mixers, with really powerful motors, and exceptionally well designed accessories. My mother had one from the 70s and it still goes strong. DeLonghi seems to be making a similar one, but they don't sell the grater here, only the disc attachments that work like a food processor.
- Don't waste your time on this product
- I purchased this KitchenAid attachment mainly to grind nuts and chocolate when baking cookies. It does not work. A lot of big chunks of nuts or chocolate escape because the drum for grinding is located way too far from the base and it is not capable for fine grinding. Poor design, big disappointment.. It will collect dust in your kitchen, thus, don't bother with it.
- I was very excited when I ordered this product because of the potential time and hassle it would save me. I was disappointed to find out that two of the cone attachments are pretty much the same and I must have been in disbelief after reading the customer reviews regarding the difficulty with disassembling this product after use. It is quite difficult to disassemble because when you are removing the cone, there is no good way of grabbing it to turn it to the left to remove it. The first test was carrots which wasn't bad but when I removed the cone it made quite a big mess on my counter and floor. I am returning this product and intend on getting a food processor instead.
- Customer Service Manager,
I bought the KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers for our daughter as a Christmas gift. It should have 4 different attachments, instead two of the attachments were the same, this is a quality issue wrt your quality control, you should have complaint this issue to the manufacture (KitchenAid).
Our daughter does not live in United State, we've shipped to them last Christmas, it would cost us more in postage if we have to ship back and forth between 2 country.
KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers

- What a deception! Kitchen-Hell
- Nota Bene:
I have tried to contact Kitchen-Aid for over a month, wrote 4 EM via the KitchenAid customer support Website, and beside their promise to answer within 3 business day, I have yet to hear from them.
I'm truly disappointed with their customer support and the RSVA.
Kitchen-Hell: "for the way it's made"
Well,
What a deception!
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
I purchase this product in the idea that KitchenAid was a good brand (by experience), but I must admit that I have the feeling that I paid $50 for a very, very poor shredder, which should be sold $15 maximum. A $7 Walmart hand shredder makes a better job.
I have the feeling that KitchenAid just ripped me off.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I love to cook, and I'm normally the type to buy one excellent knife instead of 2 poor ones, but this time, I was fooled.
So , let's review the product:
First of all, the cones are not stainless steel, but regular steel, badly chromed.
It means that, one day or another, they will rust.
How can you tell? Use a magnet, if it is not sticking, it's a 18/10 stainless steel. (18% Chrome + 10% Nickel, a TRUE Stainless Steel)
Try with your kitchenaid mixing bowl, and you'll see.
It also means that if you ever try to sharpen the slicing blades, you'll take off the chrome and it WILL rust very quickly.
I'm sorry, but a brand like Kitchenaid should AT LEAST, provides Stainless Steel cones. Especially at 50 bucks a piece. (and I suppose that's why it is stated HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY), not allowed to use regular steel in a restaurant)
The blades are either dull, unevenly sharpened, or not at all(sides). It mashes or puree very well, but the cuts are uneven and messy. I just wanted a slicer, not a musher.
The sharpening on (my) slicing cones is visibly uneven. one side slices, the other not.
The gap between the cones and the body is too big, food goes in, get pushed in by the dull cones to end up in a mess.
The cones rotate unevenly, off balance, which adds to the previous mess.
The length of the blades is smaller than the size of the spout. (the cutting length should be a least the size of the spout, not smaller )
In short: everything that goes is those corners is miserably mashed
So, as a result, in my opinion: buy something else.
Add $20 and buy yourself something decent. Plus, the attachment is so bulky that a food processor will not take much space.
My grade on a 10 scale: 3
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
And if you ever decide to buy one , please contact me , for $25, you'll have an almost brand new one.
- The cutters on this device are not sharp. The pressure needed to shred food will burn out your mixer.
- The slicer will slice when the material is VERY firm (frozen vegetables) or hard cheeses, firm cucumbers and zuccinis, howver, do not even try to make cole slaw. The blades are DULL. A call to Kitchen Aid service dept. was unsatisfactory inthat they told me the cones wre designed to NOT be sharp and only designed to cut very firm fruit and vegetables.
That's not exactly what it said on the box. I had to buy a food processor to slice/dice softer vegetables and it was not a Kitchen Aid.
- Returned it & purchased something else.
- The hopper is an improvement & designed well for both wide and narrow items.
With fresh crisp vegies I still was not impressed enough to keep the slicing grating kit I purchased & returned for a full refund.
New modern slicers & graters should sharp enough to cut ok. My kit did not perform well at all.
Light will reflect off a dull cutting edge,it's as simple as that.
A dull cutter will make any electric tool motor work harder than it should.
Did I just buy an oddball set of cutters?
Nope! A sales person opened another brand new box and the slicers were dull.
The shroud attatchment gets stuck easily in the mixer until it's inserted and removed a few times. A drop of cooking oil helped that. My grandma would put a drop of cooking oil on the bronze bushing to lubricate & prolong its life.
Cutting foods the same length & no taller than the hopper improved performance a little.
- I've only had this for a few days and haven't tried the shredder yet but as a slicer I'm rather disappointed in it. I tried it on a couple of relatively firm cucumbers and it did slice them, just not in nice uniform slices like the box shows. Some of the slices were thick on one side, very thin on the other. Others were elongated, more oval than round. The skin of the cucumbers would get caught and pull off and it would more or less just mash the spots where the skin ripped off. All in all, this product is not worth the $50 if you buy it individually but if you get it in the meat grinder/pasta maker/slicer 3 pack like I did it's worth it.
- It is not easy to attach and not very good at slicing.
Get a real food processor instead.

- The unit would be much better if the housing unit itself were made out of metal rather than plastic. This is my second time replacing the unit because of a crack in the plastic housing.

- Not the good quality steel it was 20 years ago!
- I had the Kitchenaid mixer and most attachments for at least 20 years and it has served me so very well. The slicer shredder started to crack where it attaches to the mixer, so a few months ago I ordered a new one.
Much to my surprise, the cones were not the shiny stainless steel that my 20-year old cones are, but the manual says they are dishwasher safe, so I reasoned that looks don't matter. I washed it once, put it away, and have just now used it to chop walnuts and shred zucchini. Today, I put it through its second wash in the dishwasher when I was finished using it, only to have it come out of the dishwasher with rust starting on the cone and also on the shaft.
My 20-year old attachment NEVER RUSTED! They must have made it in the USA back then and now it is made on the cheap in another country. This is the only reason I can find for the difference in the steel used. Fortunately for me, I still have the old cones and shaft and will probably substitute them, but would advise anyone else to clean with care because the new parts are made of metal that will rust.
- It works, but much of the vegetables will hang in and outside the drums.
Not the easiest to clean.
