Hamilton Beach 70660 FreshPro Food Processor

With a 425-watt motor and an 8-cup bowl, this inexpensive appliance 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 disk blade slices and shreds fruits and vegetables. For slicing and shredding tasks greater than 8 cups, the cover's continuous-feed chute conveys food to any size bowl on the counter. To reduce clutter, accessories store in the bowl, plus the appliance offers push-in cord storage. The bowl, cover, and blades are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
