With the Hamilton Beach Bowl Scraper Food Processor, there’s no need to stop and remove the lid to dislodge food from the side of the bowl. The built-in scraper does the work for you, even while the processor is on for continuous processing. Kitchen tips: For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before processing with the chopping/mixing blade and leave room in the bowl for the food to be tossed around. When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results. Operating time will depend on the quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. To slice or shred cheese, use firm cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss that have been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Soft cheese like Mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding. All removable parts are top rack dishwasher safe.
BUILT-IN BOWL SCRAPER SAVES TIME: Quickly process ingredients without stopping to use a spatula. Simply move the scraper from side-to-side to scrape the bowl while the food processor is running or the power is off — no need to remove the lid.
SLICE, SHRED, CHOP, MIX AND PUREE WITH 2 VERSATILE ATTACHMENTS : The Hamilton Beach food processor gives you 5 processing functions and includes a stainless steel slicing/shredding disc and chopping/pureeing blade so you can tackle every job with ease.
POWERFUL 450 WATT MOTOR: Make healthy salads, homemade salsa, hearty acai bowls and more. The 450 watt motor easily powers through the toughest ingredients, so you can spend less time processing and more time enjoying.
PRECISE CONTROL WITH 2 SPEEDS PLUS PULSE: The low and high speeds plus pulse give you the control you need for a variety of recipes. Use the high speed when you need more power and select the low speed for processing or mixing delicate foods.
10 CUP BOWL CAPACITY: The generous 10 cup bowl fits large volumes of food all at once. The large feed chute saves you time by reducing the need to pre-cut food before processing or using as a vegetable chopper.
EASY TO CLEAN: All removable parts are dishwasher safe for effortless cleanup and all food zones are BPA-free for peace of mind
1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY: Built for long-lasting performance and backed by a 1 year limited warranty from Hamilton Beach.
SUCTION CUP FEET: Prevent sliding for greater stability on the countertop
WHAT’S INCLUDED: 450 watt processor base, 10 cup bowl, lid with large feed chute, food pusher with drizzle holes for emulsifications, built-in bowl scraper, reversible slicing/shredding disc, chopping/pureeing blade, user guide

Love the Bowl Scraper
The bowl scraper is a function that is hard to find in a lower-priced food processor. I like it because it definitely helps achieve more uniformity in chopping and processing, as it directs what is pushed to the outside, back towards the blade. Liquids aren’t an issue due to the vortex (tornado- like motion) formed by the blade, but solids would otherwise remain on the outer edge of the bowl.The 450-Watt motor seems to provide plenty of power for most uses. More expensive processors may have a larger motor and that may lead to a longer life for those units. A processor at this one’s price range can’t be expected to last ten years if used often, but for non-prifessionals it should be fine.The versatility of chopping, slicing, shredding and pureeing is a plus. An ordinary blender just can’t compete. I also like that it has two speeds and a pulse capability.After a bit of searching, I settled on this processor for the combination of affordability, function, good reviews, name brand, and the bowl scraper.

Food processor
This is the best food processor I have ever bought. Works exactly as it should and the build quality is perfect. Has different speeds and is so easy to use. It’s easy to store and shreds up anything I throw into it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for one. Can’t beat the price point either.

Straightforward does the job!
I needed a new food processor because I was fed up with KitchenAid’s mini chopper. The cover had this weird handle combo that was needed to fit together perfectly for the appliance to work. It NEVER lined up correctly. So, based on reviews, I bought this one. I have another Hamilton Beach appliance (the indoor smokeless grill) that I’m IN LOVE with so I kinda bought it based on name recognition. I also bought it based on the built in food scraper. With the Kitchen Aid, I had to take the top off to scrape the sides of the bowl further frustrating the attempt to get the lid on correctly for it to work. I love this one by Hamilton Beach. The bowl and lid lock into place, the lid only does one thing – covers it. 4 speeds…pulse, 1, 2 and off. Simple, effective and does what I need it to do without wrestling it. It is a bit loud but not so loud that I wouldn’t use it. Now, I’ve only used it tonight for the first time to puree some roasted peppers but I would definitely recommend this product!

Good investment
I bought this hamilton beach food processor for daily use in kitchen,its a versatile product which I can use for chopping wide range of vegetables from tough one like onions,potatoes ,carrots to softer one like tomatoes overall the output wattage of this machine is good.I like the one blade do all concept ,i have used many other food processors in the past which came with different blades for chopping and different set of blades for making dough ,but it was a hassle to store all the blades ,this one feature is really good.I made paav bhaji for which i have to chop variety of vegetables and which takes a very long time doing manually,i was able to do it in under 5 mins using this machine.It very good for dough making the side scrapper is a very unique feature which reduces wastes and afterwards cleaning efforts.I tried to churn buttermilk to make butter which also turned out wellOver all do as it promised, good productOnly downside of this is when you are using the shredding blade you don’t have the choice to adjust thickness of the shredding or slices

High quality and flexibility!
My 1st Hamilton Standard food processor is still working after 15 years, but the plastic is quite worn as I use it several times every single day, and I felt it was time to upgrade. I did look at the HS model with lock in plastic clamps, but i figured they could snap eventually. I never had a problem with lining up the bowl or the tools, but I guess some people do. I am SO pleased with this product, it works wonderfully! They thought of everything- slice, shred, puree, ribbon and spiralizer- they all are flawless. There is even a brush to clean the blades of ribbon and spiralizer! And there are suctions on the bottom, so I don’t have to try to keep it in place. Even my husband was impressed, he tried all the attachments and said I had made a great choice!

Great food processor but am confused by the scraper
Needed a new food procesor and this one interterested me because it had a scraper feature that was unique to this food processor. Yes the scraper works and does what it proports to do. Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see what advantage the scraper brings to the food processor. You still need to get the processed food product out of the bowl after processing your food items, same as any other food processor so what does have the scraper there do for you? in looking at the comments however I haven’t noticed anyone else scratching their head at this feature as I have.Regardless, I have found this food processor to be very good for chopping and slicing food items and fits my needs perfectly. So it fulfills my needs just fine for everything I want to use it for.There have been many comments on the high level of noise of this food processor, that is how loud it is. I would say yes, it is perhaps a little louder than other food processors I have used but I don’t find that to be objectionble at all, especially because it’s not being run very long when food is being processed. At most the food processor is on for less than a minute, sometimes only 30 seconds.So this is a food processor I can highly recomend. I

Easy to use. Lightweight , and sticks to the counter.Does all that is advertised very well. In the last six months I have bought a second hb oven after my first one gave up after twelve long years of use. I also bought a mixer. Love it. And now the chopper, which I love. Company should maybe give rebates or some other compensation to induce frequent buyers. Would highly recommend!

Here is the lowdown, the blender worked perfectly for three weeks without any issues. Although each time i went for a bowl of hummus or guacamole i would smell the burning of wires. I was told this is common off Hamilton products! After three weeks the kitchen reeked of burnt and suddenly just stopped working. I contacted the seller who said that less than 6 months and the product is out of warranty. So i took the piece to a local electrician who said the wires burned off. After repairing it, again the kitchen started reeking and the piece went silent on me. I took it again to the electrician who said another part went bad and handed it back too me. I spun it 1 more time and boom it went silent on me.
