Master kitchen helper!!!
By Pali on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2011
I own a Hamilton Beach Change a Bowl processer which can only grate and slice. Had it for about 4 years and it still works great. I however wanted one that could chop, slice and grate and after looking at the reviews decided on this one. I am really pleased that I did go with it - it works like a dream. I can chop onions, sweet peppers etc with just a few pulses without making salsa-lol!. They come out just as if chopped by hand without all the tears and time to do it. It saves me about an hour a day chopping onions (5lbs minimum) and sweet peppers by hand - I get it done in 5 minutes. All of the other choppers which I had previously made the onions etc very soggy. The slicing and grating works very well too. Very powerful motor. I havent tried making dough etc, but will update my review in a few months when I have tried out other things. At $30 dollars its well worth it. I do hope it last as long as the change-a-bowl. update: My breadmaker stopped working and I mix the dough using the same recipe as the breadmaker with my HB processor - powerful motor - a two pound loaf size mixed in less than a minute using pulse, no sticky mess in the bowl or blade, and the bread came out really great and much better than the breadmaker. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer which I used to mix dough on several occassions, however this Hamilton Beach does the job in much quicker time and easier clean up. I Also grated cheese and ground coffee beans - I am so pleased that I am tempted to buy another of these processors just in case this one stops working and they discontinue the model.

A Couple of Flaws But Still a Good Value
By J. Glaser on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2014
NEGATIVES: 1. Knob control - hard to turn to when hands are wet, which is all the time for me after washing and chopping vegetables for processing into unit. I have to dry my hands first before trying to turn knob. Regular ON/OFF switch would have been much better. 2. Too much space between end of Food Shute and Slicing Blade. If your food chunks aren't thick and long enough, they can slide into the gap between the end of the Shute and the blade, resulting in unprocessed chunks. One half of the Shute is longer and rests about 1/3" from the blade, which is fine, but the other half is shorter and rests 1" from the blade, leaving a large gap. This results in small chunks of food slipping through unprocessed. Also it's hard to stand these smaller chunks up vertically, since they'll fall over on their side with no support on that half of the shute. I don't know why Hamilton Beach didn't make the whole shute the same size, resting uniformly 1 /3" from the blade. What's the purpose of half the shute being shorter? POSITIVES: 1. Nice lower profile. Fits on shelf under my counter so I can access it easily. 2. Powerful. Does the job well. 3. Good value for the money.
