Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper for Slicing, Shredding, Mincing, and Puree, 8 Cup, Black

Wonderful addition to my kitchen! Made homemade peanut butter in it today, really happy with the price and the quality. Did not overheat or give me any problems, definitely recommend! Thank you!

We love this food processor. Replaced with a Ninja and going back to this one. More reliable results

I really like these food processors for large processing jobs and the build quality is very good. Although there is only 2 speed settings, I find it is enough for my use. There is also a pulse setting that works very well. This is great as a gift (house warming) and is reasonably priced for any day gifting.

So far it worked perfectly making hummus and chopping up vegetables. The power is above my expectations, the bowl size it big but not too big for my needs. It is plastic so there is a slightly worry about it breaking especially were the top snaps in to the base p. So try not to man handle it. Other then that it totally has met my expectations

I did a lot of research and was torn when buying a food processor - both in size and brand. Everything I read said to get at least 600w and that the name brands were worth it. However, they all had mixed reviews, so I went with the Hamilton Beach 8c. I’m upgrading from a hand-me-down mini processor that has never puréed for me and requires multiple batches to get anything done. I’m thrilled with my purchase so far and seriously wishing I bought this years ago. I cook a lot and it has seriously cut down prep time, as well as finally letting me make some of the things that were just ok or impossible with my old one. PHOTOS: 1st pic - almond butter took less than 2 min from start of blending to come together nice and smooth. 2nd pic - I previously couldn’t get my falafel to stay together (even after adding cheaters like flour) - fixed! 3rd pic - Israeli-style hummus is so smooth and creamy (no oil added) 4th pic - used the chop blade/pulse to chop cabbage 5th pic - shred blade to grate a carrot 6th pic - the only minor complaint is that food gets wedged in the narrow part of the lid (garlic shown here). I use a little brush that is for cleaning metal straws and it’s fine. Overall, I think it’s pretty easy to clean. Very easy to lock in place and use. It is pretty loud on pulse and 1, and very loud on level 2, but it only needs to run for a minute or two so it’s not unreasonable. I do prefer to plug my ears if I’m standing there though. The plastic feels a bit light, like it will probably break if I drop it, but lightweight is nice when you need to scoop stuff out of it. There are two suction cups on the bottom that keep it in place fine even on high speed. A note on size: the internet told me I needed around 11c for the food processor. 8c is perfect I think and I’m glad I didn’t go bigger (or smaller). It can fit a whole pound of chickpeas (full), dough that’s 2c flour (plenty of room to spare; could almost double the amount). I cook for two adults but I make somewhat large batches. I haven’t made anything super liquidy yet or shredded/sliced cheese. I don’t anticipate issues with any somewhat hard cheese. I would imagine liquid will leak if you fill the bowl about half way up. I would definitely recommend this food processor. I honestly can’t imagine you getting much more for your money from the expensive name-brand ones. And the 450w this one has is more than enough to any job I have.

I can't believe this thing only cost $28. I've never owned a food processor in my life - I've always had this weird thing about having to chop everything by hand. And I cook a LOT. But I was finally thwarted by falafel - I had a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid that was just not cutting it, and my blender wasn't cutting it for the hummus I also love to make on the regular. Both made these simple foods take too long to prepare and make a huge mess. So I decided to initiate the Food Processor Experiment. This thing had great reviews so I thought it would probably be a good test subject. I had a batch of soaked chickpeas on deck and ready to go when this thing arrived in the mail (oh I love Prime.. as close as you can get to instant gratification). The first thing I threw in there was a big bunch of cilantro and parsley. Packed to the brim. Pulverized to perfectly uniform bits in seconds. I think I screamed. I took out the greens and next I threw in five cloves of whole garlic. Instantly shredded into fairly uniform bits, the size you'd get from chopping by hand. Then added two huge jalapeno peppers and some onions. Five seconds later, they are obliterated. At this point, I'm snapchatting the before and after photos of my chopped food to my sister and boyfriend, who are laughing at me. After all, I'm 27 years old, it's not like I've never witnessed modern technology before. Finally, I removed the previously mentioned ingredients and did the beans. Amazingly, they didn't stick, whole beans didn't float at the top while the bottom layer was turned to mush, but I think I did about 4-5 cups of whole beans at a time and let it go for 45-60 seconds and the falafel was perfectly ground with excellent uniform particle size and cohesion. They were my best batch yet. Since then I've been tossings things in there willy nilly, just to try out the shredding disc as well as the chopping blade. Made some almond and hazelnut flour from raw nuts. Sliced a whole bunch of celery and beets, cabbage, onion, with the shredding disc. My favorite things: - It's idiot proof and easy to click the bowl onto the base with one hand. - Easy to clean - The chopping blades are spaced well so that food at the top is drawn down toward the blade and your whole substance receives a uniform chop. - 8-cups is perfect. I think 10 cups would be too big for anything, really. I have made batches of food big enough for 10 people with this size easily. My only gripes with this processor... - It only has two speeds: 1 "Really High", and 2 "Insanely High". The Pulse function pulses at "Insanely High." So you can't really coarsely chop things like greens. - It is extremely loud. Think: laying your face directly against a vacuum cleaner. Or, a cheap hand mixer at its highest speed. If you live in an apartment your neighbors will definitely know when you're a-processin.' On the other hand, it'll only be for a few seconds because dang this thing is powerful. - Because of the high speeds, it is difficult to get uniform slicing when doing small/soft things like green onions or cucumbers with the shredding/slicing disc. It is just so fast that after the green onions get past the point where you can hand-feed it into the chute, they just get sucked in and shredded from whichever angle they hit the slicing blade. So, I had a bunch of green onions which were perfectly tiny cross sections, and a bunch of long skinny shreds of green onion that had been sliced longitudinally rather than axially. This wasn't a problem for harder things like onion, beets, and cabbage. which I was fine with being sliced that way. (If anyone has ideas on maneuvering around this, leave a comment!) If I could change anything, I would give it a low speed setting. Nevertheless, that doesn't change my overall starry-eyed adoration for this amazing contraption. It is an excellent value and super powerful for its price. I am very, very happy with this purchase. $30 well spent.

under regular use of just a few times,the product smoked and smelt. Cannot use it now.. Cart2india, the suppliers,told me they cannot help me in any way. Hamilton Beach Indian website and phone numbers are not working!! Am left stranded!

Will do fine if you don't use much or too long at a time. Motor will slow down if it strggle, Cpuld burn if not careful

Que es un procesador muy útil yo estoy muy feliz con él muy buen producto Solo quiero saber si hay refacciones en caso de porque ya había comprado otro y se le quebró la partecita de arriba donde se ensambla la tapadera gracias pero muy buen producto

Lo uso primordialmente para hacer crema de cacahuate me va de maravilla, ya tengo 5 meses con el y al momento cero fallas, muy recomendable.

I wasn't sure based on the price, but was more then happy with this purchase. I grind up veggies to make my dog food and it was so fast and easy to use. It may only hold seven cups but it does is so quickly and efficiently is so much better. The smaller cup means no scraping down the sides and redoing. Does it all perfectly with one go. I also got the warranty so even happier. Would highly recommend, oh yes and washes it up so quickly. NO gunk goes down the handle.
