Three-way comparison

Three 13-cup packages, three different tool sets

The KFP1318, KFP1319 and KFP1320 share a 13-cup work-bowl family and common processor functions, but the package contents are not the same. The most useful comparison is not a rating: it is whether the attachment you reach for is included and whether its setup is worth keeping clean and stored.

KFP1318: the standard tool package

The KFP1318 includes a multipurpose blade, adjustable slicing disc, reversible fine-and-medium shredding disc, dough blade and storage caddy alongside its work bowl and processor. It is the most straightforward option in this group if ordinary chopping, slicing, shredding or dough kneading are enough. It does not include the dicing kit, refrigerator lid or French-fry disc in the package listed for this model.

Its benefit is not that it is “better” at every task; it is that its box contains a full standard tool set without adding the two specialty cutting assemblies. The exact published product height is available for this model, so it is the only one of these current configurations that can pass a strict height check in this comparison.

KFP1319: add dicing and covered storage

KFP1319 supplies the core 13-cup tools and adds a dicing kit with a clean-out tool plus a refrigerator lid. That makes it the natural choice when regular, grid-cut dice is part of the prep, and when you want the included storage cover for the bowl between tasks. The extra setup is useful only if the dicing job recurs; the manual’s assembly sequence and cleaning tool still need a place in the routine.

This model does not include the separate French-fry disc. Choosing it for “fries” because it has a dicing kit would conflate different cuts.

KFP1320: the broadest included cutting set

KFP1320 includes the dicing kit and refrigerator lid from the KFP1319 package, plus the French-fry disc. It is the only one of these three reviewed packages that meets a requirement for both accessories to be included together. The manufacturer describes the disc as a way to make steak fries, but the reviewed manual and product page do not provide a numerical cut width; someone who needs an exact dimension should verify before buying.

Which distinction matters in your kitchen?

For a standard blade-and-disc routine, consider KFP1318. For consistent dicing without a fry disc, compare KFP1319. For both dicing and the included French-fry cut, read KFP1320. They share a bowl rating, but that does not make their accessory sets interchangeable. Check the exact model suffix and included package list on the product you are offered.

An earlier Cuisinart dicing package

The discontinued Cuisinart FP-13DGM also combines a 13-cup bowl and a dicing kit with an adjustable slicer and dedicated dough blade. Its manual lists a six-cup maximum for dicing fruit or vegetables and requires the small bowl to nest inside the large bowl. The product page says the small bowl is four cups while the manual calls it 4.5 cups; the discrepancy is preserved in its review. It is an earlier model, not a default current alternative, and it lacks the French-fry disc supplied with the KFP1320 package.
