Hamilton Food Processor (2010-07-15)
This food processor is so easy to use and saves your time making large amounts of foods. Shredding cheese, cutting up ham, cutting up onions, and many other things. I also loved the spatula that came with it which gathers all the foods in one move. I just wish I had bought this before -- would have saved hours of preparing foods which in this case it's completed within minutes! If you have arthritis issues and love to cook, this is a must-have product in your kitchen!
Not the best... (2009-01-03)
I purchased this machine after my older and smaller Hamilton Beach processor got a crack in the bowl and I decided to upgrade to a larger model. I first tried the the Haier HFP400SS 400-Watt 10-Cup Food Processor, Stainless Steel with Black Trim and found that the motor was not strong enough on that one so I returned it.
I have had the Hamilton Beach Big Foot machine for about a week now and I am not 100% sure it was the best one to buy.
The first thing I tried was the bonus blade (thick slicing). I used potatoes, a smoked sausage link and an onion. These were to make a sort of hash for dinner. The potatoes turned out ok. The slices were not uniform and the way the chute is made, they just would not stay upright without packing the chute to capacity. So some slices cane out long and others round. The sausage failed, some slices, some chunks and some little tiny bits was what I got. I think if I had froze it first maybe it would have worked better. The onion turned out perfect and if I were making onion rings or hamburgers I would have been elated at the perfect slices.
This machine makes a screeching sound when it runs and I'm not sure why. The motor seems fine, it's almost like air is getting into the food chute. It's more annoying than anything. The machine also vibrates sometimes and moves around. The suction cup feet are really great, they do work well at keeping it from jumping right off the counter.
I make some biscuit dough too and was not pleased, it. When cutting the butter into the flour it just seemed like to hard of a job for the machine to handle even though I cut the butter up really small. The machine began to shake and screech.
I sliced some zucchini which came out great in nice thin slices, chopped tomatoes and thin sliced onions came out great too.
Grating cheese - again it seemed to strain the machine. I always grated frozen cheese in my old (much smaller) Hamilton Beach machine but this one seemed to strain while doing it and the cheese came out so fine it was like a powder. I used the shredding blade for carrots and cabbage too and the carrots came out great while the cabbage was way too fine.
Clean up is fairly easy. The lid is a bit tricky by hand but the dish washer seems to get it clean every time. The bowl and the shaft to the chopping blade seem to be very delicate and I am afraid they might not last very long. The plastic is really thin on the blade shaft and the handle on the bowl seems like it could easily crack.
I am pleased with the capacity of this model, the bowl holds a lot.
Also, if you have ever owned a food processor you will have a bit of a learning curve on using the lid on this one, it is a unique design which is great for certain foods like onions but poses a challenge when using thinner smaller foods. It also is easy to lose your grip on which causes the lid to pop off and again, it could crack easily if dropped too hard.
If I'd have had an extra $100 I would have gone for the Kitchen Aid.
EXCELLENT FOOD PROCESSOR (2008-09-12)
I GIFTED THIS PROCESSOR TO MY SON IN ST. LOUIS. HE IS SATISFIED WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE.
Recommend to everyone! (2008-08-30)
I love this product so much that I had to search for it on a couple different websites to tell people how great it is. My husband got it for me for my birthday because I had talked about getting one since we got married three years ago. I used ot to mix the ingredients of a pie crust for chicken pot pie, and it mixed everything perfectly. Then I put all the attachments into the dishwasher and ended up dirtying only one dish rather than the ten I used to dirty while making this crust. It was so easy that I am considering making more crusts to freeze for a quick use later. I love this product. I have now owned it for about three months and have had no mechanical problems either.
Why did I wait so long?! (2008-08-11)
Wow! Great food processor! I'm thrilled with its performance. I had no difficulty with the suction cups, they stick, but not too much. I resisted buying one for years. Happy with the bonus blade as well. It is now a ktichen staple in my house!
