 Not Worth It! May 14, 2008

I received this as a gift and ended up throwing it out about six months later. The biggest problem is the gap between the bottom of the lid and the top of the slicer/grater. This gap is a real pain in the you-know-what when you're grating cheese as you can only grate about 3/4 of the block before the remaining cheese is pulled into this gap and spins around on the TOP of the blade. This also happens with anything else you try to slice or grate, but cheese was always the worst because I ended up with a sticky, cheesy mess beneath the lid.
Another problem is with the locking lid. After using it a few times, the hinged lid (which will prevent the machine from operating if not closed properly) stuck and I snapped it off accidently trying to unstick it. There was also a space in the lid that accumulated "dishwasher gunk" that I could never clean out.
This may seem like a good processor for the price, but if I had known the problems with it ahead of time, I would never have put it on my wish list.
It sounded like just what I needed April 29, 2008

I bought this after reading several reviews from persons who really liked it, and the fact that I have a large family to cook for. I was not so pleased. The plastic top chipped off around the rim within 9 months. We had to throw the whole thing out. A couple of good performance areas with several negative.
Pros:
-It does handle a whole potato or tomatoe without having to chop it up first.
-It does what it says it does. It chops, slices and shreds.
-it's big enough to handle a big family.
Cons:
-It does not handle hard cheeses (parmesean, romano, etc) well. You wind up with a big chunk of cheese left between the shredder blade and the top of the machine (not just cheese, potatoes also had a big jamming issue)
-DO NOT try to chop ice in this processor. It chipped off a small piece of the lid, which from then on, continued to chip and break on anything harder than a tomatoe until it would no longer stay closed
-IT's VERY LOUD
-does not handle spices or small things well. It's just too big.
Overall, it does what it says it does. It saves you time, but it's loud and not very durable. Food gets stuck and won't shred or slice, which you wind up throwing out (more waste). I would not recommend this to anyone, nor would I purchase it again.
 great product! April 28, 2008

have burned thru many processors, but this one has multiple speeds, is easy to clean, an has a large feed tube. We have two in our bakery and love them!
Love it April 26, 2008

Huge powerhouse...large feed tube...all around good food processor for 50.00 bucks cant beat it...I grate all my cheese cheddar..mozzz...parm...that alone from block cheese make this totally worth it. We had a huge pizza party and i doubled the pizza dough recipe and this machine didnt even blink with that much dough. This is not a sophisticated cuisineart but I have used cheap to very expensive food processors and the large size of this alone and price..is awesome..If i win the lotto Ill get the expensive kind one day..in the meantime this workhorse is perfect
 Awful experience April 6, 2008

My product came with no seals, so if I filled the bowl over 1/3 of the capacity, all of the liquid would spill out of the sides at the bottom and at the top of the bowl.
It either comes defective without seals, or I just got a bad one. Now I'm on the way out to buy another brand. Never another Hamilton Beach one!Hamilton Beach 70590 Big Mouth 14-Cup Food Processor
