I owned the previous model which broke so I got this newer one and love it! The size, price and functionality of it are why I chose this one and I haven’t been disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the 12 cup processor for over 1 year. I love that it has so many different options to use-it makes food prep for me so nice-thanks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for everything, It works great and saves me a lot of time in the kitchen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Easy Assembly: The “Stack & Snap” design is genuinely convenient. Unlike other food processors with complicated twisting and locking mechanisms, this one simply stacks and snaps into place. This makes it much easier to assemble and take apart for cleaning. Large Capacity: With a 12-cup bowl, it handles big batches of ingredients effortlessly. Whether I’m making salsa, shredding cheese, or prepping vegetables for a large family meal, this processor can handle it all without needing to stop and empty the bowl frequently. Powerful Motor: The 450-watt motor is powerful enough to chop, slice, shred, and puree a variety of ingredients efficiently. It handles tough jobs like shredding carrots or slicing potatoes smoothly, with consistent results. Versatility: It comes with a reversible slicing/shredding disc and an S-blade for chopping, mixing, and pureeing. This covers most of the common tasks in the kitchen, making it a very versatile tool. Built-In Bowl Scraper: A unique feature is the built-in bowl scraper, which ensures that ingredients stay close to the blades for more even results. This saves time and prevents the need to stop and scrape the sides manually. Ease of Cleaning: The bowl, lid, and blades are all dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup easy. The processor also doesn’t have any complicated nooks and crannies that are hard to clean. Cons: Plastic Build: While the plastic body keeps it lightweight, it doesn't feel as sturdy as some higher-end models. It’s durable enough for everyday use, but you need to handle it with some care. Noise Level: Like most food processors, it can get quite loud, especially when processing harder ingredients. It’s not a deal-breaker, but worth mentioning if noise is a concern for you. Limited Blade Options: It comes with the basic blades and discs, but lacks additional attachments like dough blades or julienne discs, which could enhance its versatility. Overall Impression: The Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Stack & Snap Food Processor is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, and budget-friendly food processor. It’s perfect for everyday kitchen tasks and can handle large quantities of ingredients with ease. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of a premium model, it delivers solid performance and functionality at a fraction of the price. If you’re looking for a food processor that is straightforward, efficient, and offers great value, this one is a great pick. Rating: 4.5/5

Like the title said, it leaks from the top. Regardless of how the top is attached, which it does give clear instructions it leaks like a sieve do not buy.

Worked for a year, and then the interior lid mechanism which allows the blender to turn on broke, rendering the whole thing useless. Apparently happens a LOT.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing but pleased with this blender. Tremendous power, blends everything equally well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This quickly shredds carrots, or cheese in no time. I would recommend this.

Not great. We had a smaller one of the same brand for years and loved it. This one does not work well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a replacement for a very old and very beloved blender slicer that finally died. I didn't think I would be happy with a replacement but this unit has proven me wrong!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this food processor. I use it almost daily. It's easy to use and cleans easily and quickly. Like the safety feature that you can start it unless the black shoot is in place. Does an excellent job of kneading dough. Only negative is that I can only knead dough for one full sized loaf of bread in the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use mine for everything! Makes meal prep so easy!

It’s effective and the lid locks

Very disappointed. One of the lid lock on the side got broken right after the return window closed (in 4 months)!!

Safety switch broke within a month, fixed it then other parts broke off making it unusable.

I am obsessed with this!!! I would always use my blender to process food, never wanted to invest in a food processor and just have another kitchen appliance I don’t use. I was VERY wrong, I use it all the time and it grinds up food so fast and it’s very easy to clean!

I needed a new food processor since I make my own hummus on a weekly basis. This has to be the best food processor I have ever purchased. It purées everything so well and is so easy to clean.

Do not buy! I have this same food processor that was purchased in 2014. Thought I’d upgrade it recently and bought this one in October 2023. The blade is DULLER than my old one. They also haven’t improved on all the nooks and crannies where food can get stuck. It’s powerful but because the blade isn’t sharp it’s worthless. Save your money and buy a different brand!

We've had several food processors in the past and this one is definitely best for the value. Does everything it's supposed to and is easy to clean. Large capacity. Definitely happy with purchase.

It works like a dream! The price was right and it is exactly what I was looking for.
