Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper for Slicing, Shredding, Mincing, and Puree, 10 Cups + Easy Clean Bowl Scraper, Black and Stainless Steel (70730)

Let me tell you, this Hamilton Beach Food Processor is the Swiss Army knife of kitchen gadgets! I've had this bad boy for a while now, and it's become my go-to for everything from quick snacks to culinary experiments (some more successful than others). First off, the 10-cup capacity is perfect. It's large enough to handle big batches but can easily fit on top of the fridge. The stainless steel and black design looks sleek in my kitchen, too. But enough about looks - let's talk performance! This thing is a beast when it comes to versatility. Want some homemade frozen yogurt? Toss in some frozen fruit and yogurt, and boom! Instant treat. Craving hummus? It whips up a smooth, creamy dip in no time. And let's not forget the time it saved my behind when I needed pureed mushrooms (don't ask... I was in a pickle). It pulverized those fungi faster than you can say "umami." The slicing and shredding capabilities are top-notch. I've prepped veggies for salads and soups in record time. And can we talk about the easy-clean bowl scraper? Genius! No more stopping to scrape down the sides manually. Clean-up is a breeze, too. The parts are dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus in my book. Now, I'll admit, there was a bit of a learning curve with the different attachments and speeds. But once you get the hang of it, this processor becomes an extension of your culinary creativity. Whether you're a kitchen novice or a seasoned chef, this Hamilton Beach Food Processor is a game-changer. It's durable, versatile, and ready to tackle whatever wild recipe you throw at it. From frozen treats to mystery mushroom mush, this thing has seen it all and hasn't let me down yet. In short, if you want a reliable kitchen sidekick that can handle the basics and the bizarre with equal aplomb, look no further. This food processor is worth every penny!

It’s a nice option that I found on sale. The scraper attachment works, it’s sleek and a modern design.

It’s fast, reliable, and handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. Honestly, it’s doing more processing than I am most days. The blades are impressively sharp and the size is perfect—big enough to get the job done, small enough to not feel like I’m operating heavy machinery. Highly recommend!

I bought this hamilton beach food processor for daily use in kitchen,its a versatile product which I can use for chopping wide range of vegetables from tough one like onions,potatoes ,carrots to softer one like tomatoes overall the output wattage of this machine is good. I like the one blade do all concept ,i have used many other food processors in the past which came with different blades for chopping and different set of blades for making dough ,but it was a hassle to store all the blades ,this one feature is really good. I made paav bhaji for which i have to chop variety of vegetables and which takes a very long time doing manually,i was able to do it in under 5 mins using this machine. It very good for dough making the side scrapper is a very unique feature which reduces wastes and afterwards cleaning efforts. I tried to churn buttermilk to make butter which also turned out well Over all do as it promised, good product Only downside of this is when you are using the shredding blade you don't have the choice to adjust thickness of the shredding or slices

I am poor cook and have never had a food processor before, but this was easy to use. I used it for the first time yseterday (12/25/22) to make stuffing/dressing: SLICING: Celery: trimmed 3 small stalks to about 8-10” long; made a vertical cut for each. Fed all 3 together in the food chute. As hoped, this produced very nicely diced celery. Carrots: scraped & trimmed 3 medium carrots, also ~8”. Planned to cut each carrot vertically, but forgot. Fed all 3 together in the food chute. This produced coins about 1/4” thick. The slicer worked incredibly quickly, and drew these long veggies in so I didn't need the shute food pusher. CHOPPING: switched from the slicer blade to the chopper S-blade. (Didn't bother with the food scrapper.) Left the celery and carrots in the bowl. Cut 2/3 onion and ½ cored apple into ~1” square chunks and dumped them into the bowl. Gave 2-3 quick pulses to the food and Wow! Everything was diced together into small bits (a little less than 1/4” each, I think.) The carrot coins were diced just like everything else. I intentionally diced my ½ cup of walnuts by hand. (Next time, I might throw the nuts in with the food chunks.) I intentionally diced my ½ cup of prunes by hand—these are sticky and might be hard to clean out. Later, after making the dressing and cleaning the processor: PUREEING (using the S-blade): Cut 24 oz of peeled, just-baked butternut squash, into roughly 1” chunks and put them into the bowl. This filled the bowl to about 3/4” below the max fill line for S-blading. (They were still warm, but not hot.) Again took only about 3 pulses to puree the whole thing. Nice consistency. I used the food scraper attachment (between pulses?) this time, and I think it helped a bit. VERDICT: Does the job! Impressed with the dicing. Downside: not hard to wash the various parts, but it does take time (and space on my drainer). So, for small cutting, chopping jobs, quicker overall to just cut by hand. However, for a larger batch of something, especially if it requires a lot of slicing, chopping, or pureeing, the processor is probably worth it. I think it might be ideal for making up a large batch of soup. Can hold 10 cups—that's 5 servings of soup.

This food processor is fantastic and has held up great to weekly use. It has made food prep so much faster and simpler. It chops and shreds vegetables great! It's so powerful even on the first speed. The size is perfect and it's easy to store.

My husband is addicted to hummus... I am too! We bought at least 2 buckets of it each week from Costco... and then I figured out I should just make it myself, right? Chickpeas, fresh lemons, garlic, tahini, salt, cumin, paprika, and the juice from the kalamata olive jar. What could go wrong? Well, it was a lot of work, in a small space, and I burnt out my blender... so I had to figure out something else... and I saw this, and read the reviews are well... HUMMUS!!! Today is the first day I've used it and it's already paid for itself, in my opinion! I just put all the ingredients in the big area, put on the lid, and hit GO! And now we have the best hummus I've ever made with a fraction of the mess and hassle... giviing me the extra time to write this long, glowing review! Earlier, I made watermelon and cucumber water (my other more recent addiction). Well, it leaked out the top, so it did require some wiping up... but a fraction of the wiping up, a fraction of the mess and time, it took me to make it with the blender! The suction cups on the bottom are awesome. It's so easy to clean. And it's lighter and not as noisy as my old deseased (RIP 😿) blender. I am thrilled. !!! The only cons are that it leaks when I make watermelon water, apparently, ... and, on first use, it did have a mild plasticy smell even though I had rinsed it. Oh well. Nobody's perfect. But this gadget certainly comes close to perfection. We'll see how long it lasts...but, meanwhile, I absolutely love and recommend it!! Especially for hummus!! And the scrapy deal seems to work great, too. Easy to clean!! Fast!! Works great!! UPDATE: After not using this for a week or two, I grabbed it to make more delicious hummus...but the KNOB was STUCK!!! I read this had been a problem for others, too, and the recommendation was to force it... which I did... WD-40 is the trick!

Serves it's purpose, barely. Please visit to chop vegetables shred cheese shred carrots. It does well with the vegetables. It makes bread crumbs easily. But I'm not impressed with the cheese shredder. There are less holes on the cheese shredder than on the Black & Decker food processor. The positive side of this is the shreds are longer which are nice for tacos and things. However, the machine has a rougher time shredding and more cheese gets balled up. It builds up so you have to periodically clear the lid. When it gets to the last bit the whole slice spins around the machine until it chops up but this last time it got stuck in the corner of the lid and bent the blade. Luckily I stopped at quick enough that didn't cause any visible damage, but I'm not sure this machine can handle shredding an entire block of cheese. My previous Black & Decker worked well it was just really loud. This machine is super loud as well even louder than the Black & Decker. I do like the side scraper option. It helps keep the build up on the sides down. But I'm not sure it's worth the noise and decrease quality of shredding. It's just as difficult to clean as the Black & Decker. Food gets stuck in the lid so it's best to clean it out right away with something Sharp and hot water. I also run bleach water through the blender every other use in case there are microscopic remnants of food.
