Large family electric chopper xl 12-14 cups
Vitamix 067591
Best Large family electric chopper xl 12-14 cups – Luxury – 300 $ to 500 $
Our Luxury pick is made for Vitamix owners who already have a compatible base and want a large food processor without adding another motor to the counter. Buyers praise its power, capacity and results, while TechGearLab found especially strong performance in slicing, puréeing, dough and cleaning. It is a better fit for batch cooking than for anyone who needs adjustable speeds or a low-risk, low-cost purchase.
Why this is the Luxury choice
This attachment turns a compatible Vitamix blender base into a 12-cup food processor, so it suits large batches while avoiding a second motor on the counter. Buyers repeatedly praise its power and capacity. One verified buyer used it for salsa in large batches and said it cut the preparation time in half; others report fast cheese shredding, strong everyday performance and easy cleanup.
TechGearLab tested the attachment with a Vitamix A2300. Its strongest results were slicing, puréeing, pizza dough and cleaning. The test found delicate foods such as tomatoes came out evenly sliced, peanut butter became smooth, and the dough mixed without sticky leftovers. It also found that the parts stack neatly for storage.
The trade-off is control. TechGearLab found average chopping, with somewhat uneven piece sizes, and weaker emulsifying and shredding results. Buyers also describe a single speed rather than adjustable Vitamix speeds. That makes this a strong large-batch attachment, not the most flexible processor for fine control.
Choose the Vitamix 067591 if you already own a compatible Vitamix base and want a powerful 12-cup processor for family-size preparation. Buyers praise the results, capacity, fast batch work and cleanup. TechGearLab backs that impression with particularly strong test results for slicing, puréeing, dough and cleaning. The attachment also saves counter space compared with adding a separate motor.
The limits matter before buying. Several buyers question the high cost, with some expecting longer service for the money. Durability feedback is also split: some call it durable, while others say theirs lasted only two uses or stopped working within two months. One buyer reports a safety concern that the bowl does not lock to the motor unit. Buyers also describe difficult fitting and removal, and the attachment offers only one speed. These are reported buyer concerns, not findings from our own use.
Who it’s for For Vitamix owners who prepare large batches and value power, slicing, puréeing, storage and easy cleanup more than adjustable speed or the lowest cost.

What the test and buyers found
TechGearLab’s test makes the clearest case for the attachment when the job is slicing, puréeing or mixing dough. Its slicing result was notably even on delicate foods, while its peanut-butter purée was smooth and its pizza dough mixed fully. Cleaning was also a strong point, helped by dishwasher-safe parts.
Buyer feedback supports the high-level picture: the attachment works well with the powerful Vitamix base, handles large quantities and is easy to clean. But the buyer experience is not uniformly smooth. Some report that the lid is hard to remove or replace. One verified buyer specifically says the bowl is not locked to the motor unit and calls this a major safety issue. Treat that as an individual buyer report, but check that the bowl and lid are secure before operation.
The test also found slower pulse starts and stops, uneven chopping, imperfect mayonnaise emulsification, cheese residue after shredding and slight tapering on some firm vegetable slices. Buyers add that speed cannot be adjusted. Together, these findings point to a processor that excels at capacity and several core tasks, but not at every precision job.
