8 Cup Food Processor

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.

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

I am so happy I purchased this Hamilton beach food processor. I'm a mom who makes her own baby food and I was able to make 4 or 5 recipes within minutes with this processor. I used it within a few hours of receiving it in the mail and it did not disappoint. It's very lightweight and easy to clean. I was using a Ninja processor I purchased from QVC years ago and I recently broke the plastic container. To replace it would be about $75 just for the container itself which is insane! So I looked into getting a good size food processor from Amazon that was reasonably priced and this one came up. I wasn't hesitant at all being Hamilton beach is a good brand and I have other small appliances by them. This processor is 8 cups and easily blends the ingredients quickly and thoroughly. It's still loud, but not nearly as loud as the Ninja which is so nice because my baby used to to get scared and cry before, but now my baby just watches this one while its on. The Ninja used to shake all around even with having suction cups underneath it. This Hamilton Beach processor doesn't move at all and also has little suction cups that keep it in place. This is super easy to operate and feels safe enough that I even showed my 8 year old all the parts and how to use it. I'm over the moon thrilled that I have found a tool to help make mom life that much more rewarding when it comes to making meals for my family. Its a great addition to my kitchen and I love using it.

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.

Perfect size. Works great. Easy to handle

This food processor is amazing. Not just amazing for the price, it's amazing overall. The food processor is a pretty good size, but it does not take up lots of counter space. It's perfect for us. I received it today and used it twice. I made some amazing nice cream in this! (Ice cream made by blending bananas and either berries or coca powder) The nice cream turned out with a creamy soft serves consistency. The bananas and raspberries I used were straight out of the freezer, too. It took about thirty seconds to blend it smooth. The next thing I made was some brown sugar. I combined organic cane sugar with molasses and made some of the most delicious brown sugar I have ever had. The machine arrived in it's original box with the mailing address on it. I liked this a lot because they're not wasting anymore cardboard by sticking a box in another box. It's super easy to clean and the lid isn't impossible to snap back on. The only con to this machine is that it is VERY loud. Definitely take that into consideration if you live in an apartment complex or something like that. I have found that sticking some sort of towel or dish cloth under it lessens the noise! The pro to the loudness of the food processor is that it is super strong. You would never guess this machine was only $22! It's definitely amazing. I'm not sure how this machine will hold up in the coming months, but based on what I experienced today I think it should last at least a year for me... And I plan on using this every day for some nice cream. Just make sure to attach the parts properly and clean it after every use. This should last quite a while.
