Easy to use and clean!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to use and especially easy to clean. Because it is a professional 14 cup sized processor it is large and therefore lots of storage space is needed. Accessory cart could be designed better - more efficiently
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach Design Department should win an award for this appliance. The construction is really heavy duty. If you ever had a processor that you were concerned if the motor had enough power to process your recipe or if you had a processor who's motor shaft had broken, this appliance should alleviate all your fears. The Hamilton Beach Professional Processor operates with digital control and is capable of handling ALL your processing needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this from Hamilton Beach Ambassadors in exchange for a honest and fair product review. I was very impressed on the very sturdy construction. It makes cooking fun! So far I have made chocolate chip cookies and also used it to make Ratatouille. Simple to use ... I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received unit a few days ago and couldn't wait to use. Made pasta using dough blade, still had to kneed but saved time. Also made fresh pjco de giao dicing blade made quick work of tomatoes, onions and chillies. Everything have made using food processor has reduced time and made everything uniform and looking delicious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great and easy to use. Assembly for use is quick and easy. Great for kneading as well as slicing, dicing, etc . Has large and small chute options for different size food. Good safety features, must be fully assembled properly for the motor to run. Convenient case for storing all the blades. Easy clean-up, dishwasher safe.

My First Processor
on July 29, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this machine!!! This processor is VERY well built. It has a smooth operation and is super easy to use. The base has suction cups on the bottom for added stability and it comes with a storage hutch for the blades. The adjustable slicing blade is perfect for summer vegetables and the bowls is large enough for an entire head of cabbage (perfect for coleslaw). The dicing blade produces perfect cubes and can even handle a sweet potato. This processor has several built in safety features, including a handle that must be locked into place prior to starting usage. The user manual is clear, easy to follow and includes step by step drawings. It cleans very easily and the blade hutch holds everything! I could not have asked for a better, first time experience with a food processor!!

The Intimidator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first food processor. Since I retired, I have been learning to cook. The 14 cup machine is probably much more capable than I am. I read the booklet that describes the parts and tools and which to use for what, but I lacked the theory of operation to actually do something with it. I had to watch many food processor videos on the internet to gained the confidence to put it to work.
Making a diced salad was fast and easy with the dicing tool. Great results. I found the cleaning tool for the dicer difficult to align and being smaller than the grid itself, needs to be moved around precisely to push everything through.
Slicing was quick and easy. Most of my slices came out with diagonal thickness instead of uniform until I learned to fill the push tubes tightly with product, side by side, as to hold it straight up.
I shredded carrots and they came out terrific in seconds. I tried to shred lettuce and made a big mess. I ended up chopping it with a few pulses instead.
Chopping and the chopping blade are my favorite. I use a lot of chopped onions and celery. I dread doing onions with a knife. This processor took care of both in seconds. In fact, I was able to make tuna salad faster and easier than ever, letting the machine do all the mixing from can to bowl. No more beating it to death with a fork. The chopping blade is my new friend and will be what I use the most with this machine.
I think I would be better suited with a smaller or mini model. I don't process the amounts of food this 14 cup can handle. This is too big for my counters and I have to store it away when not in use. I would probably lose the dicing capability if I went small though, and that would be missed.
When it comes to cleaning, if there is a nook or cranny or crevice somewhere, it is sure to get itself lodged with some sort of food shrapnel.
There was no mention of it but there is handy cord storage into the rear of the machine. Below the cord storage is another compartment, but I don't know what it is intended for. The jury is out on the suction cup feet. I would prefer them gone but not if it interferes with the operation or stability of the machine.
Caution: If you decide to carry the machine around by the large metal handle. It certainly looks durable enough to do so, but it is a two handed operation. One on the metal handle and the other on the mixing bowl handle. If not, the metal handle will swivel and the mixing bowl with lid and pushers will slide out and smash on the floor.
This processor comes with a handy plastic tool box that is shaped like a recipe file box to keep all those sharp edges away from your fingers. I store the dicing tool and the chopping blade inside the bowl, though.
The more food you need to process the more useful the food processor becomes. You must weigh the time to set it up, clean it, and store it away.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful Tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach Professional 14 Cup Dicing Food Processor has earned a place of honor in my kitchen. It is a powerful tool that saves me time in the kitchen by processing food fast and efficiently.
My first experience was processing a bumper crop of zucchini; four pounds of zucchini were shred in under two minutes. It made about 13 cups. Perfect. I've since processed ingredients for hummus, pizza dough (dough blade), potatoes/onions (dicing attachment), and date energy bars. What I like:
- Quick set up. Blades are labeled, buttons are clearly marked.
- Built in safety features that prevent the motor from running unless the unit is properly assembled.
- A full range of included accessories.
- Unit is easy to wipe clean. Blades, bowl and lid are dishwasher safe but hand washing is just as convenient.

Things to keep in mind:
- The processor base is set on suction cups that are sufficient in keeping the unit steady most of the time. While mixing dough and chopping dates it was necessary to place my hand on the unit, to provide extra support, until the weight distributed.
- Sufficient space is required to store the base, 14 cup bowl, and storage box (accessories).

I recommend this product for home cooks (especially those cooking for larger groups), food preservers/gardeners, and meal preppers. It is a tool that works for you!
