I bought this after looking at several others in comparison and this got good reviews, to which I add mine. I came into a nice bunch of basil to make pesto with and after trying it in a blender I knew it was time to get a food processor. I have no other experience with them, but this model does all it’s supposed to do, is easy to clean and doesn’t take up a huge amount of storage or counter space. Amended review……..after about 1-1/2 years the switch has gone bad. Still works, but now the off switch is unplug it from the outlet. On second thought, I’d probably spend more to get a more reliable switch, if it’s possible. Don’t use it that much so it’s not a big deal to me. -

I was looking for a good food processor to make beer cheese for the winter. I use to just use an electric hand mixer before and realised I needed something to give it a much creamier texture.After checking out a few differant brands and models, which I’m sure are very good too, I decided on this Hamilton Beach 6 cup food processor. Bring it looked well built, blades appeared good and strong, a good name brand and 6 cups being not to small so I can make up a big batch of beer cheese, but not to small so its not a burden to clean.
All I can say is I am extremely impressed with this thing.
Please mind, this is my first food processor, as I have recently been getting into cooking. But this is incrediblly powerful.
I really like the simple features, on and pulse, which pulse instantly turns off when you let go. I found this to be great when I’m adding touch ups to my beer cheese.
This product is very well built too. Its definatly not flimsy and something that can break easily if you so much as look at it wrong, not saying to purposly drop it off a building though. But the bowl and base is very sturdy and strong, which shows a well design and good craftsmanship put into its design and making.
The On/Off/Pulse switch is really nice when your working with a project and need a constant hands on, as its nice and big, quick to use unlike some of the ‘button’ kinds I have seen. Just rest your hand up on it and have at it.
It is so easy to clean its not funny. Just a soak in hot water with alittle soap. The blades are nice and sharp, not the real thin gauge metal that can bend sideways like paper which I seen on some of the cheaper ones.
A superb saftey feature where you have to lock the top lid over the bowl or it wont turn on. Happened to me and I thought it broke, being my first processor, my mistake on that and feel silly because of it. But the shoot on the lid needs to be on the opposite side of the On/Off/Pulse switch, which is pretty neat, as you add food or ingrediances and if any spill it won’t get on the power switch to get messy.
Basically all in all, this is a well built 6 cup, easy to store, easy to use, nice looking inexpensive food processor that is just awsome.
As I said, I originally got this for making beer cheese which whips it up creamy perfectly, but I enjoy this so much I have been making sasa’s, other cheese spreads and even use the chopping blade that comes with it to make sliced potatos for home fries.
For the price, it can’t be beat. I never thought I would say this about a food processor, but I won’t part with my Hamilton Beach 6 cup’er.
Enjoy!

When faced with the option of spending $100 or $30 got a processor of this capacity, I figured I would be crazy not to at least try the $30 (I went to my local Target to avoid the shipping fees). So far, I’m happy, but will likely upgrade in the next year or too. The aesthetic, low profile and weight are all excellent–no complaints.I’ve used the slicing disk to cut a variety of vegetables with no real complaints. It has handled everything with relative ease–some smash up on the sides, but a million times faster and more consistent than by hand.
I haven’t used the grating disk, but I’m skeptical of this feature in general.
The motor is powerful and so far my only problem is learning how powerful it is. I positively liquified onions the first time I tried to dice them. The real key is very quick pulses, and very few of them.
My only real problem, and the reason I will probably upgrade is that the blade sits relatively high, so if you need to puree or even chop something that is less than a cup, it will likely all fall below the blade and you will have to chop it by hand. In slightly larger batches, you might have to do a lot of opening and spatula-ing to make sure the larger chunks are on top so they can be cut finer. So this is not an ideal machine for pesto or nut chopping (the former requires a puree, the latter is heavy and usually done in small batches).
So if you dice/chop/slice a lot of vegatables, this is a great low cost machine, however it likely won’t fulfill all of your kitchen’s processor needs.

Kitchen supplies are like an addiction to me. I spare no expense on only the best. Kitchenaid mixers, Le Creuset whatever, All Clad this and that. But one day I was short on cash and decided I needed a food processor. I saw this in a grocery store for, like, $20. I said, “Screw it, this will work until I can afford a $100 Cuisinart.” That was a year ago, and I have had no desire the replace this one yet. I grind nuts in it. I’ve made big batches of pesto in it. Hell, I make pie crust in it on a REGULAR basis (Making pie crust in a food processor, though much easier then using a pastry blender by hand, is absolute HELL on a food processor.) . This little bad boy takes the abuse and asks for more. If it blows up tomorrow, Ill have gotten my moneys worth, and even if I have the money for a better name brand, I would probably just go out and buy another Hamilton Beach. I’m only giving it 5 stars because Amazon wont let me give it 10. Seriously, ‘Worth the Money’ is an understatement. - Comment Feed for this Post

This food processor (my first ever) has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance. I never realized that I had so many uses for it and find myself eager (yes eager) to use it daily.
It has an extremely sharp chopping blade (grinds nuts to powder in less than 5 seconds, perfect for making homemade nut butters) and veggies take only a few pulses until they are chopped small. Be careful of the blade when it is sitting in the sink ready to be washed- already cut myself reaching into the sink, proving how sharp it really is. The clean up is a breeze, soak in soapy water for a few minutes. It’s lightweight, but very sturdy, making the constant in/out motion to/from the cabinets easy.
There are 2 downsides: (1) The chute is narrow, meaning that things like sweet potatoes must be halved vertically before being sliced, resulting in funny looking scalloped potatoes. (2) The shredder shreds SMALL! I was hoping for longer shreds of things like cabbage/carrots.
Overall, buy it. The size is perfect for a household of 1-4. Price is great for a fabulous appliance!
