Product Description

Prepare an endless variety of food fast with the small Hamilton Beach 8-Cup food Processor & vegetable chopper. A stainless steel s-blade for chopping and pureeing, a reversible disc for slicing and shredding, 450 watts and 2 speeds plus pulse offer power and control.

Troubleshoot: (1) Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse - * Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work? * Are the bowl and lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections (2) Vegetables are not shredding or slicing - * Store vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well (3) Unit has a burning smell - * There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number. Other troubleshoot solutions are available on the user manual pg-11.

Makes good pistachio butter

Makes good pistachio butter
I read so many reviews on everything starting from the Magic bullet all the way to blenders and food processors. This food processor has the best reviews for making nut butter. Literally all I did was add a bag of great value lightly salted pistachios (shelled) into the contraption and started flipping the dial. It has a momentary high speed blend mode that you have to hold and a 1 and 2 setting for low and high speed. I find the low speed of 1 works better because at high speed the butter gets trapped at the very bottom corner under the blade and you have to dig it out with a plastic knife. All you have to do it watch it turn your nuts to fine particles and then keep blending and it magically turns to butter. I added a little bit of sugar which I can't really taste. It will have a gritty texture, it won't turn it I to super smooth peanut butter like what you get at the store but it's good enough for DIY. Recommend, also I letit cool down every few seconds but didn't notice at heat coming from it or under the bottom. I tried to smell for burning scents but smelled nothing. Cleaning was okay, you'll want a hose sprayer, if you just have a regular faucet it's gonna be harder to clean

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This HB food processor is POW-ER-FUL. It is QUICK! This is the second food processor I've ever owned. I purchased a Black & Decker about two years ago. It is clumpy, huge, and very hard to use--so--when I saw this one, I said to myself, "Self! This looks like the food processor you were trying to buy the first time." I was thinking, 'What am I going to do with TWO food processors?' Well, here's the answer: Use one and put the other one away. That's what I did and THIS ONE is the one I use EVERYDAY--several times a day. The B&D was used about three times in two years! To add insult to injury, I placed the B&D in the box this one came in and put it away.

What makes this processor quick and slick is 1) Powerful speed! I shredded eight (8) large carrots in less than five minutes with very, very little effort. I also used the slicer side and sliced two red onions--in nothing flat. 2) When using the 'pulse' feature, two to three pulses to chop carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, mix cake dough, etc--is all it takes. I haven't had to use the #2 setting yet because the 'pulse' and/or #1 setting performs the task so well.

Now, I'm not saying I'll NEVER use the B&D processor again. It does have a dough blade for making bread so I will probably pull it out and live tortuously through the noise and clumsiness to get the job done; however, I plan to try with all my might to see if this one will do the job just as well. (I think it will). The reason I think that is because I made banana bread with it just today and everything mixed purr-fect-ly. The bread is moist and wonderful! I just creamed the butter and sugar first. After being careful to scrape everything down to make certain it is well mixed, I just dumped in the bananas, vanilla, and dry ingredients at once. I pulsed it a couple times, then mixed everything on the #1 setting for about six seconds and it was done. It is so delicious.

If you buy this food processor, you won't be disappointed. It cleans easily too. Of course, the motor is not whisper quiet,but let me assure you that it is no louder than a $24 stand mixer (which I also own)...LOL. It's light-weight and don't let that fool you. I was a little hesitant when I took it out the box and realized how lightweight it is. Hamilton Beach did it again. I chopped some pork and made breakfast sausage the very first night. Worked perfectly. Just be sure the meat is cold.

One thing I do miss. The B&D has a little indicator light that stays on when the appliance is plugged in. I really miss having that on this HB processor. The trade-off is worth it though. The other trade-off is this one fits so perfectly underneath the kitchen cabinets on my countertop. Slick! I can hardly wait to make coleslaw with it. Haven't tried to shred cheese with it and I probably won't ever because I buy my cheese already shredded. I'm sure if I decide to, though, it will work well.

I received this processor three (3) days ago and have used it more in this short amount of time than my other processor, mixer and blender combined. Happy! Happy! Chop! Chop! Slice! Shred!

I bought this on Amazon Aug 31, 2013. I still have it today, March 7, 2024. Certainly still going strong and I use it often.
It's incredibly easy to use and also easy to clean, parts just go right in the dishwasher. Great product.

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.

Works well for grinding my foods. Also good for soft diets if you eat you foot too fast. Pera it to digest better. Still same taste but since I'm greedy at times taking larger bites and swallowing to fast back to back soft food is better.

I have owned a Cuisinart mini prep for almost 20 years now. It's always been handy for things like finely chopping veggies and nuts, but it's size makes it virtually useless for preparing things like dips (something I do fairly often) due to the small bowl size. I recently decided to look for a larger unit, but wasn't necessarily looking for something that had all the 'bells and whistles'. I wanted something mainly just to chop, grind and occasionally, purée. As part of the process of narrowing down my options, I decided to compare prices on Amazon, as well as (of course) read all the customer reviews. When it came to my wants/needs and budget, this one seemed to fit the bill, but it was the positive and informative customer reviews that ultimately decided things for me. For my intended usage I am completely satisfied with what this unit is capable of and how it performs, but there are a few things that would, IMHO, make it more deserving of a full five stars. First: this is extremely loud when in use. I knew that before I bought it and decided that (for the price) it was not a deal breaker, but it IS really annoying and I would definitely prefer something quieter. Second: trying to remove the chopping blade, especially when the bowl is full, can be difficult. The first things I prepared using this unit, was hummus and a spicy black bean dip. The weight of the dips (a full bowl of dip) created a suction that made removing the blade a real struggle. The centre part of the blade, which is made of a smooth, tapered plastic, became very slippery, making it almost impossible to get a good grip. I think some kind of a lip around the top of the cone would help make it easier to grasp. Also, like so many things theses days, this seems to be made almost entirely of plastic which, quite honestly, looks and feels really cheap. Whether or not it is durable, well, I guess only time will tell....I love that the lid can be turned upside down for storage, I find that very helpful and space saving. The suction cups on the bottom of this unit, which prevent it from moving around while in use, are helpful, however, they also make it a real pain to maneuver it in and out of my cupboard.
Bottom line? This is certainly not a 'perfect' unit, but whatever flaws it may have (I feel) are relatively minor when factoring in price. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
