Features - Versatile tool for chopping, slicing, shredding, grating, kneading - Bowl holds 7 cups; continuous-feed tube for slicing, shredding - Disc-blade reverses for slicing and shredding - 350-watt motor runs at two speeds; also has pulse control - Bowl, cover, and blades dishwasher-safe Amazon.com Review With a 350-watt motor and a 7-cup bowl, this inexpensive tool puts a family-size food-processor's versatility and ease into a cook's hands at a bargain price. With two speeds to choose from and a pulse control, the processor offers classic flexibility for fine work. The processor's S-shaped stainless-steel blade kneads bread dough and chops and minces a variety of foods, from nuts to meat to cheese to vegetables and fruits. The reversible, stainless-steel disc blade slices and shreds fruits and vegetables, and, for slicing and shredding tasks larger than 7 cups, the cover's continuous-feed chute conveys food to any-size bowl on the counter. Beginners will appreciate the control panel's chart, which lists the appropriate blades and speeds for specific tasks. The processor measures 13 by 13 by 8-1/4 inches and sits on suction-cup feet to prevent skidding. The bowl, cover, and blades are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack Customer Reviews Best Economy Processor ever Date: 2000-11-20 | Rating: 5 This Hamilton Food processor is the best I've ever used. It's very clean, and quite and at the same time it works great and is very inexpensive! No longer abale to get parts Date: 2007-08-29 | Rating: 4 I like my machine and it runs great. I noticed small hairline cracks all over the s-blade. I called hamilton beach and they don's sell replacement parts for this processor anymore. They wouln't even give me a discount on a new one. I am now throwing away a perfectly good chopper. Worked well for me! Date: 2003-08-13 | Rating: 4 This has been a great food processor for me! I bought model #70600 in about 1995 and have been very happy with it. It's still kicking. (I really think model 70600 is the earlier version of this 70700. My 70600 looks exactly like this down to the buttons on the top and the blades.) I use it to slice, grate, and puree. I used it just last week to grate sweet potatoes. I've used it for pizza dough. I haven't had any problems leaving it running (although I haven't tried running it for extended periods with really thick items like bread dough). It may not be the best food processor out there but it gets the job done and is much cheaper than the others. It has helped me make easy work of all my veggie recipes that require a lot of chopping of a lot of vegetables. Plus, after 8 years I just called their customer service and they're sending me a replacement "disc shaft" for free as a courtesy. (I accidentally chewed mine up in the garbage disposal.) What were they thinking???? Date: 2003-10-11 | Rating: 3 This is my second processor. I don't remember the first model but it was great. This one works great except for the top coming apart. Why would they screw two pieces together, what were they thinking? The first one had a one piece molded plastic top. Everytime I grate cheese a large chunk gets wedged between the disc and the top. It has ripped all of the screws out and separated the two pieces so I can no longer use it as a grater, which is why I'm on this site, trying to purchase either a new top or scews to repair the old one poorly designed food processor Date: 2001-01-03 | Rating: 1 Santa bought one of these for my wife. We quickly learned that the height of the space between the top of the cutting plate and the bottom of the top cover for the bowl is so large that anything you try to slice, grate, whatever, will still be a big chunk of food before the slicing or grating is complete. This item would work fine if you don't mind picking the large chunks of "sliced or grated" food out of the bowl every time you run a separate piece of food through the cutting area ... I'm returning it today.
