Date: 2005-08-08 | Rating: 5 After cooking for my family for 25 years I broke down and decided to buy a food processor. After researching here, I decided this Hamilton Beach Big Mouth was the biggest workhorse for the littlest price. I was right. It is very easy to learn how to operate, it +chops, slices, and grates in seconds, and best of all is its "big mouth." Yep, just stick a whole onion, whole zucchini, or whatever in there and out it comes without dragging out your cutting board and knife to cut it half first. I also purchased separately the french fry cutter blade, which makes awesome fries at just the right size. A piece of advice: DO NOT go to Walmart, Target, etc. and get this processor without that bonus blade! You really need that as the other blade slices very very thin. Overall, I am VERY happy with this purchase. I keep it on my counter so I can use it without the pain of getting it out. It looks nice there. Very Impressed Date: 2005-06-01 | Rating: 5 This product is wonderful. I received it as a gift, and was disappointed at first that it wasn't a Cuisinart! However, after using it for the past two months, I don't think I could be more satisfied with anything else. Here are some reasons: *It has attachments for grating cheese, slicing food, and finely chopping food. *It has four different speeds plus a pulse speed, which allows you to chop just for a second if needed. *It has a "mouth" that is enlargeable and allows you to easily fit whole fruits or vegetables without removing the top. *Its 14 cup capacity is enough to make a huge amount of food. I recently made enough salsa to feed an army in just one batch. *It has a powerful motor; I've never had it stop or even sound like it's having trouble- I have put in four whole onions, and this processor finely chopped them in literally about 5 or 7 seconds. *It comes with a booklet that recommends the speed and amount of time different vegetables should be chopped, depending on what type of look you're going for (i.e. french fry slice, finely chopped, grated). *It has a safety feature that requires the top to be locked before the machine can run- safe both for the person putting things in, and for any little ones who may be playing with things on the counter. *It has suction cups on the bottom which keep the machine in one place while it's running. They are a bit confusing at first, as it is hard to figure out how to get them to stop sticking so you can move the processor, but I found that you can solve this problem by just sliding the machine around the counter. *This product is easy to store. While you are not using it, all of its attachments fit neatly inside it, so it doesn't use up any extra room, and so the attachments won't get lost. I just leave mine on my countertop. *It is easy to clean, and all parts are dishwasher safe. *Just a reminder- This product is a food processor, not a blender, so the closest to blending you will get is very finely chopped. If you are looking for something that will blend as well as process food, you may want to look for a product that is both a blender and a food processor in one. This is easily the most used product in my kitchen. It's just as good as a Cuisinart -- and half the price! I highly recommend it. So easy to use...So little to pay! Date: 2005-01-10 | Rating: 5 I bought this about a week ago and it is fantastic! I love how you don't have to do any chopping beforehand, you just put the whole fruit or vegetable in and away it goes! It is really easy to clean too, it is even dishwasher safe! This product has a great price tag too! I would recommend this product...it has been great so far! Best home food processor I have owned Date: 2006-04-13 | Rating: 5 I have purchased a series of 6 or 7 food processors over the past 15 years. Other than by hand blender, the Big Mouth is the most functional, flexible and powerful food processor I have ever owned. We added this machine to our bridal registry after seeing a commercial for the Big Mouth. The commercial was humorous, but they did not lie about the machine's capabilities. You really can fit in a huge variety of foods in to the feeding tube. Whole tomatoes, quartered heads of iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, blocks of chocolate fit right in and can be shredded in less time than it takes for you to read this review. For example, we like to make a brazilian type of salad with carrots, red cabbage, onion and garlic. Making it by hand takes 20-30 minutes so we used to not make it all that often. With the Big Mouth all I do is quarter a red cabbage and drop the quarters in to the food tube with a couple of cloves of garlic and a whole red onion. Using the fine shredder it takes less than 10 seconds to shred these ingredients. I then add in 5-6 peeled carrots and 10 seconds later they are shredded. Add a little vinegarette and we're done in under 5 minutes - peeling time for the carrots included. A couple of nice design touches round out an impressive machine: 1 - The chopping blade is uniquely shaped and slightly serrated. It seems to be able to cut through tough ingredients better than the blades on other food processors I have owned. 2 - The work bowl is also slightly angled outward so that food tends to stick less to the side. This comes in handy when pureeing soups, sauces etc. 3 - The speed/pulse dial allows for a range of slicing dicing options. 4 - The suction cups on the bottom really do hold this thing in place. This is important because this is a powerful machine that generates a lot of torque. 5 - The suction cups on my machine have not fallen off despite a lot of use. Most machines I have owned in the past lose their suction cups or little sticky 'feet' within a couple of months. 6 - The work bowl is huge. I have used this to puree a couple of quarts of tomatoes in one shot. No need to puree in batches - an inevitably messy process. 7 - The expanding feeding tube is amazing. I salute the engineer that came up with that little innovation. We have been using it now for 7 months with not a single problem. I highly recommend this food processor, either for yourself or as a gift.
