10-Cup Food Processor with Bowl Scraper
Product details
Web ID: 12574199Attractive, efficient, slim food processor
I enjoyed many things about the Hamilton Bowl Scraper Food Processor, including its attractive profile. The processor is slim and takes up minimal space, despite holding ten cups of food. I used the processor to chop vegetables, including onions and mushrooms. It did a fine job, with some unevenness in size of the chopped vegetables. It also was able to whip up tofu into a creamy spread. The processor has two speeds, plus the pulse, which was nice; it was little loud. I did not have a chance yet to use the grater/slicer and am looking forward to trying that. The bowl scraper was an added bonus, and although it does not reach down to the very bottom of the bowl, there was no need for me to continually open the top to scrap down the sides of the bowl.

Food Scraper!
This has a large capacity (10 cups) and a like the bowl scraper more than I thought I would. Even though the handle doesn't go all the way around (the chute is in the way) the "blades" of the bowl scraper do go 360 around the whole bowl. Super convenient. Comes with 2 different blades (which lets you get a variety of different cuts) and it is super easy to put together right out of the box. Pretty easy to clean by hand, but also dishwasher safe! So that makes it easier.

Great Addition to a Cook's Kitchen
I already had a Hamilton Beach processor for years but coveted one with a scraper. I thought it would keep me from having to open the top and scrape down the sides with a spatula. I unpacked my new Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Food Processor with Bowl Scraper from its ample packaging. The base is a bit taller than my old processor, but round instead of square. The bowl, blender blade, and metal slicer plate are all unchanged from the original. The first thing I noticed was that I couldn’t store the multiple parts compactly. I immediately read the manual. According to the instructions I was supposed to set that sharp slicer on top of the blender with the totally harmless plastic scraper stored inside. The mechanism that controls the scraper arms prevented me from storing the extremely sharp, metal slicer plate inside the blender like I did with my previous model. REALLY?? I ended up keeping the slicer inside and stacking the scraper upside down on top of the blender. Ridiculous! I used the machine for the first time to make my buttermilk biscuit dough. I was so excited to dump all the ingredients into the bowl with the blender blade and new scraper. I locked the lid and turned it on. I noted that it is a bit quieter than my old blender. The dough started to come together nicely but there was quite a bit of flour hanging out at the top of the mixture, so I turned the scraper back and forth only to find the scraper arms don’t reach all the way to the bottom of the sides of the bowl! I was stunned! What good are scraper arms on the side of the container that don’t reach all the way down? Needless to say, I was beyond disappointed. Who designed this thing? Definitely not someone who cooks. Long story, short: The food processor is a strong and faithful addition to any kitchen. However, I would not suggest going out and buying this model if all you want is the scraper arm.

Does lots of tasks!
This powerful food processor with bowl scraper can do it all. So far I grated carrots and shredded cheese. I was able to shred a 1.5 lb block of cheese in less than 30 seconds. My only complaint is that it does not stack up well for storage while not in use. The manual shows that it does but when you add the shred/grate blade attachment it is not stable.

Great family size processor.
My first use of the processor was to shred some cheese. The first thing I noticed was that this was much more powerful than my previous processor. Cheese shredded easy and much more thorough than the attachment for my stand mixer. Slicing veggies was a quick job with less wasted pieces than my older processor. I also tested it to mince some beef, the scraper really was helpful to move the meat away from the edges for more thorough mincing. I like that this one has a pulse and also 2 speeds.

It works really well!!
I'm happy with this food processor. I made my chimichurry in seconds. All the hebrs chopped well. One of the features that I like is the motor stays in place because of the suction cups. Also, the cable can be stored inside the motor area. I have to try the disc to shredded. This processor is really a time saver.

Good food processor but some flaws
The Hamilton Beach food processor has some nice features. but also has some flaws. First of all, I was happy to see a manual included in the box. Looking on the internet for manuals that are not included with the product can be time consuming and frustrating. I like the fact that the shred blade and slice blade is one blade. Both sides were sharp and made quick work of the task. The chopping/slicing blade also did a nice job. The downside was the amount of unprocessed food. There were unprocessed vegetables on top of the slicing, shredding blade because of the space over the blade and below the lid. Also, when mixing salmon cakes, the egg and some of the other ingredients did not mix in as they were under the blade and made no contact with the mix blade. The bowl scraper is a great idea, but it does not reach food on the bottom of the bowl. The fact the all parts stack in one place is great. The only downside is that the shed/slice blade is exposed in the top. I saved the carboard wheel that the blade can packed in and slide the blade in before placing on top of the unit for storage. A vinyl sleeve to slip the blade in before placing on top of unit would have been a nice addition.
