Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper for Slicing, Shredding, Mincing, and Puree, 10 Cups – Bowl Scraper, Stainless Steel

I absolutely love this food processor! It’s so easy to use and does a fantastic job! I have been w/o one for over a year and now don’t know how i lived w/o one. If you are on the fence jump and get this one. The suction cups help it to stay in place and the scraper is ideal. The pulse feature is great too! It’s perfect!

I had a fancy cuisineart for several years, but had to replace it as the locking mechanism failed and i couldn’t replace it. Bought another one at costco that just ended up being too big/too many parts.

Found this one and it’s perfect for me. The unit itself is sturdy (suction cups have no trouble gripping my wooden countertop) and light; i can put it back on its shelf and get it out easily. The 2 cutting blades provided have covered every need i’ve had for a food processor. It’s also easy to use- i find i’m using it far more than any processor i’ve had before because i don’t dread taking it apart/putting it together/cleaning it.

Highly recommend this one!

Great size, quick and easy to use. Powerful motor too. What did i ever do without this?

Excelente para procesar alimentos, muy finos o menos finos.

I love everything about this appliance. The power is amazing. It is so easy to use. Super easy to clean. Reasonably priced. I’m glad i purchased this one.

Bought it as a gift for a friend’s wedding and so far they’ve made soooooo much guacamole. They seem to be happy so 10/10!

Works like a (c)harm. Shreds well. Harms all that are found guilty (pleasures to eat).

Special recipes using dates

I used this product for making cheese cake and it turned out amazing. It is also is highly durable and easy to use and clean.

I purchased one of these about 6 years ago, thinking if i use it often i’d buy a better (more expensive) one. But it held up for a long time, and when it broke (my fault… Next time i make protein balls i will definitely pit the dates first!) i bought another, same brand, only the new one has a side scraper feature which i’m loving. I’m also loving that my old canister and blades fit the new base, so i can make two things before washing the parts. In the summer, when i preserve multiple types of garden produce in a day, that’s going to be so handy. And, i’ve gotta say, in spite of the fact that i processed dates and their pits in there, the canister and blades all held up fine. It was just the pits jamming the blades so they couldn’t spin at all that burned out the motor.

I don’t use a food processor as often but this does really well for my needs.

If you plan to make a paste like hummus, pesto, that sort of thing its fine.
If you plan to make mexican mole or smoothies (lots of liquid) it will splatter all over the place (extremely messy). When you add things into the container, it actually lifts the blade up, which is very annoying, and you have to be holding the blade down while adding the contents, otherwise the lids and scrapper won’t fit together. Therefore won’t close, and won’t start due to safety features.

There is a huge gap of space between the container and where the blade meets( in the center under the blade), the container ‘seems’ like it can hold a lot of content, even has a limit line at the very top, but when you remove the blade, you’ll see the container is actually having the center of it very mid way, so liquid is not a great idea. Anything liquid will splatter all over the place so be careful.

Pros:
price. (beats the better $300 dollar ones if you don’t care for liquidy stuff)
has a safety lock and won’t start unless lid is fully closed.
Has suction cups under to stabilize it.
Comes with other type of blade for vegetables.
Blends really well.

Cons:
can’t handle liquids without splattering all over the place.
Electric cord is annoyingly very, very, short. Only enough to be placed right next to kitchen counter wall outlet.
Plastic thing to push vegetables in through top cover kinda just sits in it, and you need to have it in to be considered closed, so the blending doesn’t escape. I guess its a bad safety feature.

So far so good! I have just finished making salsa and spaghetti sauce and it and ot worked great! Durability and life expectancy has yet to be tested. Hoping for at least 5 years but 10 would be better.

It works for the price point but man is it loud!! Like scare the neighbors dogs loud!

The bowl scraper is a great feature since you don’t have to remove the the top to scrape food stuck to the sides of the bowl with a hand spatula, you just turn a knob on the top of the lid. I made gazpacho with it and it worked well. A few pieces had to be hand trimmed to resemble the batch. All parts are dishwasher safe and all parts store in efficient manner taking up less space in cabinet. I recommend this model.

First, i have to say, i mostly used this for making nut butters, peanut and cashew primarily. Had it for two years and just crapped out on me today. I didn’t take off a star for that because i knew this little beauty wasn’t designed for that. I did something pretty stupid with this last batch and made sunflower butter and tried to sweeten it with raisins… My own brilliant idea. The flavors go together really well but hear me when i say that raisins should not go in a warm food processor to be made into paste. User error—duh! That said, i was more than pleasantly surprised to find that it handled planters deluxe cashews beautifully—even allowing 30-40 minutes on the highest speed and getting the machine hot to help break down the oils to liquefy the cashews making silky heavenly cashew butter. Haven’t decided whether or not to get the same again, but i certainly got a good machine that handled more than i was led to expect.

Good product for the money. Definitely not cuisinart quality. Still, it does get the job done.

So far works amazing! Primary reason to buy this product was to make baby food purées from our own organic produce. Loving it so far! The more water i added, made the purée a thinner consistency. We had a ninja and it wouldn’t purée it as thin as i wanted…

I like the processor but the welds on the slicing disc broke during my first use. I checked the site and to replace it will be $22 which is half the price of the whole food processor!!

Works well and is very inexpensive. I can’t imagine cleaning this without a dishwasher, however.
