Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper for Slicing, Shredding, Mincing, and Puree, 10 Cups + Veggie Spiralizer makes Zoodles and Ribbons, Grey and Stainless Steel (70735)

I have been using this blender for almost 6 months and everything is good! Everything is working, blades are sharp, I can easily set up and use it, also it easily to clean. I recommend it

The bowl scraper is a function that is hard to find in a lower-priced food processor. I like it because it definitely helps achieve more uniformity in chopping and processing, as it directs what is pushed to the outside, back towards the blade. Liquids aren't an issue due to the vortex (tornado- like motion) formed by the blade, but solids would otherwise remain on the outer edge of the bowl.The 450-Watt motor seems to provide plenty of power for most uses. More expensive processors may have a larger motor and that may lead to a longer life for those units. A processor at this one's price range can't be expected to last ten years if used often, but for non-prifessionals it should be fine.The versatility of chopping, slicing, shredding and pureeing is a plus. An ordinary blender just can't compete. I also like that it has two speeds and a pulse capability.After a bit of searching, I settled on this processor for the combination of affordability, function, good reviews, name brand, and the bowl scraper.

We purchased this to replace a different brand that just wasn’t up to par. This food processor is everything!! We generally use it to make our own ground beef and sometimes mince veggies and it has not disappointed. The size is exactly what we needed for us. Easy to use and the motor takes a while before it starts to heat up. The blades are sharp and do the job great! Size is perfect for what we need it for. We had other brands but their motors were terrible sometimes we couldn’t even ground up one small pack of meat. We were pleasantly surprised when this food processor did so well. 10/10 would recommend over and over again!!

I have gone nearly 20 years without a food processor because my first one was so tedious to use and clean, I gave it away and never replaced it until now.The thing that made me buy this was the spiralizer for the squash in my garden. Honestly, that is just so-so. It doesn’t work as well for anything with seeds so our crook-necks kind of fall apart. You’d probably be better off with a hand crank spiralizer that cores out the seeds, but I hate buying things that have just one function. This spiralizes but just makes it more like long shreds and you have to stop to clean out the seeds if you don’t cut them out before you start. This is the only reason I don’t give it 5 stars.But, that said, it is awesome with everything else! It makes pesto in seconds. I harvested 10 cups of basil and this made a beautiful paste of it within minutes and I didn’t even have to empty the container until I was done. We will use it for hummus, dough, chopping nuts, shredding cheese and slicing. Super easy to put together and take apart and clean. No weird crevices to collect gunk.I am also happy with the quality of the machine because I bought it used-very good. The box was in shambles so I was nervous but the machine was pristine and works great and we saved $15 off the list price.

I was looking for a simple, compact food processor and this has exceeded my expectations! It has chopped vegetables, ground meat for gyros and organ meats for dog food and done the job quickly and easily with easy clean up. About a half pound of meat at a time fits well in the bowl. Much to my surprise and delight was that I was able to get all the pieces to fit in and on the bowl unlike the manual shows, keeping the sharp blade inside the bowl for safety. In addition, the cord can be stowed inside the unit making it tidy and compact to store. The manual doesn’t show this perk. I purchased this “used-like new” and received a discount during Prime Days making it an even sweeter deal!

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!
