   I have been wanting a food processor forever and am so happy with this one! Besides being a beautiful machine it has so many options with the three blades included and large and small choices on the slicing blades. The instructions included in the booklet are clear and easy to understand. Everything was packed very well and it is so easy to use. I am looking forward to using and enjoying this processor for years to come. Here is a photo of the food processor with my first creation, salsa!

   I have never owned a food processor before. The Stack and Snap Food Processor is easy to put together since it just snaps into place. It is easy to clean and it is dishwasher safe. Great at mixing, shredding, and slicing.

   Sunday dinners in my household are a very big production! There are always a good variety of foods to enjoy, especially the meats(yummy), but chopping and slicing the vegetables and be a task within itself. Enter the Hamilton Beach Stack and Snap Food Processor. This food processor has made my life a lot easier. When I first saw the box with the beautiful picture on it I knew I had to pick it up and give it a try. Although, I never used a food processor before, when I opened the box, I was a little intimidated. I didn’t know where to start and how to try and utilize this gadget to my needs. Luckily, there is a very clear, concise and detailed instruction manual. This made me feel at ease. The food processor came packaged very nice and snug, which kept everything safe and I had no damage to the product. Once I took it out of the box, I learned how to dissemble the food processor, so I could wash it and reassemble it for use. Once, I reassembled it, I could wait to use for chopping onions, slicing cucumbers and tomatoes for salads and chopping potatoes for making mashed potatoes. The food processor made chopping the onions and slicing the tomatoes and cucumbers a snap. The 12 Cup capacity allowed me to fit a good number of cucumbers, tomatoes and onions in for chopping. This item may have changed my diet because the ease making vegetables makes me want to eat healthier. The potatoes I chopped had to be small and done in small batches which was not a problem, just an observance. The 3 attachments were easy to use and clean being as though this is dishwasher safe. The four buttons; Off, Slice/Shred, Puree/Mix, and Pulse to Chop are labeled perfectly and easy to use. I thoroughly enjoyed using the food processor. I really makes certain tedious kitchen duties a breeze.

   We bought this on a whim. We are getting a mail order CSA through Misfits Market online and we have so much produce that we wanted to try our hands at canning. The only problem is that the thought of chopping so many fruits and veggies every week into uniform pieces by hand was intimidating for me. My husband suggested we go on the Hamilton Beach site and get a food processor and we couldn’t be happier. The attachments make chopping a quick process. The pieces are uniform, and everything looks so pretty once it is in the mason jars. The clean up is so easy too. Everything just goes right into the dishwasher. We are very happy with our purchase.

   I needed a larger food processor cause mine was to small for a family. This is a wonderful machine the cuts are so perfect and as you can see in my photos. I chopped some onions and shredded some cheese and sliced some cucumbers as you can in my photo’s and everything came out perfect. This machine saves so much time it helps when preparing meals or baking, it’s so easy to clean no food was stuck anywhere. I highly recommend it for a busy family today. The only thing I didn’t care for is that it is a little loud but really no louder than my kids.

   I was able to diced all ingredients together that I needed to make chili…and no tears!!! It’s much easier than chopping my hand!!! I had less mess, therefore clean-up was a breeze!

   The Food processor is easy to use and clean up! This unit has lots of safety features also! The unit will not turn on accidentally and has suction cups on the bottom to hold the unit in place during use.I used it to shred cheese, make coleslaw, and also salsa. It minces all ingredients very well and the pulse feature works great. When you insert items into the feed tube, the unit starts automatically once you insert the plunger and it engages the safety switch. Once you remove the plunger, the unit shuts off! Shredding cabbage for the coleslaw was a bit limited, due to the size of the pieces you can put through the feed tube, and the strips of cabbage come out a little small for my liking. The cleaning was pretty much a breeze, but can be a bit taxing when food gets lodged behind the feed shoot. I would recommend this to anyone I know, just because of the ease of use. I would like to see an additional shredding and slicing wheel with bigger openings for shredding. That might make shredding items like cabbage, yield larger strips.

   I am usually flummoxed when I need to assemble and use new gadgets and machines. However, this food processor was much easier in both respects than I imagined, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I chopped up some veggies quite easily, and I’m very pleased. My one concern is a tube-like part near the pusher. It seemed to have some condensation in it, but it doesn’t open for cleaning. Overall, I am happy and look forward to making many vegetarian dishes and soups.

    So my husband volunteered me this year to cook Christmas and needless to say I got a little freaked out. All the foods, cleaning, and most of all dreaded slicing and dicing. So it is major meal practice time (my family is eating at least 3 new items a week from meats, sides, deserts, etc) My knife set is OK but nothing great and I lack the ease some people have in the kitchen when it comes to cutting items. I never evenly cut so I was excited to try the Hamilton Beach Stack and Snap Food Processor. So the first thing I wanted to try is slicing up some zucchini and I put it to the thicker setting. It was so much quicker and easy to use. It was in and then out of again. They might of still been a tiny bit thinner then I usually leave them but overall worked great. Next thing I wanted to try (the my husband was over the moon for me to make is salsa. I never make it again to much small cutting but thought why not. It was the best salsa. Smoothly chopped and wonderful goodness. Overall for the price point this food processor is amazing. Can’t wait until my next week items going to try like peanut butter and crumb crust.

    Haven’t had a chance to try all the features but am counting on it for holiday meals. While it is a little larger than I actually need it is very easy to use. Particularly like the easy assembly and disassembly (Stack and Snap) – no twist & lock . Blade use illustrations right on the unit makes blade selection and usage easy. Motor is strong and not particularly loud, at least compared to previously owned processors. Previously owned Hamilton Beach food processor that lasted many years. This is easier to use and it seems sturdy and I am counting on many years of worry free use. If I was to add anything it would be to include some way to safely store the blades when not in use.

    I had no earthly idea that I needed this but oh am I over joyed that I have it. Making salsas or even biscuits have never been easier. Try it out for yourself and you too will be singing it’s praises, Hamilton Beach has a sure fire hit on their hands.

    I love this food processor! I really needed to replace my old food processor (it was not an HB) because the lid and bowl became warped after not many uses and I could not even put the lid on and use it anymore. This one, although still new (been using for about a couple of weeks), I have not had any issues at all with using attachments, the blades function properly and are sharp, putting on or removing the lid has been simple, putting bowl on the base is easy, etc. All of the settings, attachments and blades have worked smoothly and exactly as designed. It is simple on how to understand to use, clean (comes with very clear instructions) and is the perfect size capacity (12 cups) for my 5 person home. Also, I have not had any issues with cleaning this food processor while following the cleaning instructions included in the manual (I wash by hand the parts that should be and place some items in the dishwasher). So far, I have mainly chopped/sliced up various vegetables, shredded cheese, chopped up graham crackers for a crust, made hummus, mayonnaise and peanut butter. FYI-It does take up quite a bit of storage space, but I do not consider that a negative since it is a 12 cup capacity, so I think that should be expected. Bottom line, very happy with it so far.
