[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 12 C Stack & Snap Food Processor comes with disks and blades for various purposes. It has a disc blade that fits on the top of the bowl for slicing and shredding, a metal-edged blade that sits on the bottom of the processor to chop or grind; and a plastic blade that is less sharp, to make dough. I used the dough blade. The blade is bell shaped at the bottom where it sits on the center rod, so the formed dough got stuck in the bell part of the blade, and I had to scoop out the dough. The dough also was pushed to the bottom of the container, and didn't get mixed well, because the lowest blade doesn't scoop and mix the contents fully, because the blade is not low enough. The center rod that the blades and disc are attached to is long and thin; therefore the center of the blades should be made to fit that rod, snugly, without unnecessary space. It is relatively quiet. The box states that the feed tube is a “Big Mouth”; however, it is only 2.25 inches at its widest diameter and awkwardly shaped as a half-circle. Anything larger than 2 inches should be cut down, so it is not “big,” as stated. It has a food pusher with holes in it that are open at the top, but sealed at the bottom, which make it difficult to clean. The pusher has a central hole with a smaller clear, plastic food pusher that has an opening about 1.5 inches and is 4.5 inches long. The clear pusher has 2 tinier holes, through which oils may be added to form sauces. The clear pusher is difficult to clean because of the small diameter. It would need a long-handled brush, which may scratch the plastic, to reach to the bottom. There are inner enclosed springs, which help to secure the lid and make pushing food through the feed tube easier. They are also difficult to clean, and may trap debris and soap. It is a fair product, because of its awkward design, that does not doesn’t really accommodate whole foods, unless they are less than 2.25 inches in diameter. It does not do a great job at mixing flour for dough. For those reasons, I do not recommend the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this food processor. This unit was packaged extremely well in it's box. It fit perfectly on my kitchen counter and it wasn't as high as my last one. I started off using it for chopping up items for my salads as I really hate using a knife. It worked perfectly and wasn't even to noisy. I then used it to shred my cheese and once again it worked perfectly. What I really like it the snap feature as it sure does close and seal it perfectly, therefore I don't have to worry about making a mess. I can't wait to make my dough in this unit. I love it!!!
