   I can’t believe this thing only cost $28. I’ve never owned a food processor in my life – I’ve always had this weird thing about having to chop everything by hand. And I cook a LOT. But I was finally thwarted by falafel – I had a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid that was just not cutting it, and my blender wasn’t cutting it for the hummus I also love to make on the regular. Both made these simple foods take too long to prepare and make a huge mess. So I decided to initiate the Food Processor Experiment. This thing had great reviews so I thought it would probably be a good test subject.I had a batch of soaked chickpeas on deck and ready to go when this thing arrived in the mail (oh I love Prime.. as close as you can get to instant gratification). The first thing I threw in there was a big bunch of cilantro and parsley. Packed to the brim. Pulverized to perfectly uniform bits in seconds. I think I screamed. I took out the greens and next I threw in five cloves of whole garlic. Instantly shredded into fairly uniform bits, the size you’d get from chopping by hand. Then added two huge jalapeno peppers and some onions. Five seconds later, they are obliterated. At this point, I’m snapchatting the before and after photos of my chopped food to my sister and boyfriend, who are laughing at me. After all, I’m 27 years old, it’s not like I’ve never witnessed modern technology before.Finally, I removed the previously mentioned ingredients and did the beans. Amazingly, they didn’t stick, whole beans didn’t float at the top while the bottom layer was turned to mush, but I think I did about 4-5 cups of whole beans at a time and let it go for 45-60 seconds and the falafel was perfectly ground with excellent uniform particle size and cohesion. They were my best batch yet. Since then I’ve been tossings things in there willy nilly, just to try out the shredding disc as well as the chopping blade. Made some almond and hazelnut flour from raw nuts. Sliced a whole bunch of celery and beets, cabbage, onion, with the shredding disc.My favorite things:- It’s idiot proof and easy to click the bowl onto the base with one hand.- Easy to clean- The chopping blades are spaced well so that food at the top is drawn down toward the blade and your whole substance receives a uniform chop.- 8-cups is perfect. I think 10 cups would be too big for anything, really. I have made batches of food big enough for 10 people with this size easily.My only gripes with this processor…- It only has two speeds: 1 “Really High”, and 2 “Insanely High”. The Pulse function pulses at “Insanely High.” So you can’t really coarsely chop things like greens.- It is extremely loud. Think: laying your face directly against a vacuum cleaner. Or, a cheap hand mixer at its highest speed. If you live in an apartment your neighbors will definitely know when you’re a-processin.’ On the other hand, it’ll only be for a few seconds because dang this thing is powerful.- Because of the high speeds, it is difficult to get uniform slicing when doing small/soft things like green onions or cucumbers with the shredding/slicing disc. It is just so fast that after the green onions get past the point where you can hand-feed it into the chute, they just get sucked in and shredded from whichever angle they hit the slicing blade. So, I had a bunch of green onions which were perfectly tiny cross sections, and a bunch of long skinny shreds of green onion that had been sliced longitudinally rather than axially. This wasn’t a problem for harder things like onion, beets, and cabbage. which I was fine with being sliced that way. (If anyone has ideas on maneuvering around this, leave a comment!)If I could change anything, I would give it a low speed setting.Nevertheless, that doesn’t change my overall starry-eyed adoration for this amazing contraption. It is an excellent value and super powerful for its price. I am very, very happy with this purchase. $30 well spent.

   I was shocked at how powerful this is. Good size. I make a lot of soups. stews and saladsThe upper wheel attachment will blast through half a bag of carrots or celery in 2 seconds in soup-size slices. Potato slices for au gratin, home fries, and potato pancakes in one second. Flip over and you have julienne or shred. Onions sliced, shredded or chopped have no chance the machine is so fast.If you want to puree or liquify put in the bottom component.It can roughly grind or chop meat for stew or burgers or chili. It can even turn it into a fine paste. Make sure the meat is very cold or partially frozen.If I am just doing veggies I just give it a quick rinse. Meat, oil, or dairy wash by hand with hot soapy water, very few parts to washI wouldn’t put it in the dishwasher. It is so easy to clean.

   My last full size food processor was a French model that cost quite a bit. The motor/stand was probably 10 lbs. When the bowl broke after several decades, I searched for a replacement. Found one for several hundred dollars, so I tossed it and the still-working motor into the trash. I was horrified to find that a motor now cost more than $100, and I had junked it! I’ve gone all these years with only immersion blenders with small food-processing attachments. Now I have a new immersion blender that came without a bowl at the same time I learned my dog has developed a condition. I have a choice of making her food from fresh, human-grade ingredients, or buying an expensive prescription diet that is full of chemicals and even sugar. So I went to Amazon and bought this Hamilton Beach. Pros: inexpensive, works well as a home kitchen appliance, lightweight motor that probably won’t withstand heavy use, but it does have suction feet that keep it from sliding around. I’ve only used the slicer a couple of times. It has done the job. The blade works well, too, for full blending. It does take a lot of counter space. If I put the pusher in it for storage, it’s a hair too tall for my appliance cabinet. Slightly inconvenient, but not a deal breaker. For the price, and for light usage, this is a good deal, but certainly not for professionals.

   The problem with food processors is the amount of space they take in the dishwasher, in the cabinet, and on the countertop. Mini size ones don’t shred/slice, or they have hinged tops (in the way when dumping product out), or something else is wrong with them. This one does its processor jobs just fine, then goes in the dishwasher, and stacks pretty compactly in the cabinet.
