Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Deluxe 14-Cup Food Processor

 (33 customer reviews)

Ok... there are several things I really like about this food processor: I love the huge 14-cup bowl & the wide opening. I love how simple it is to use/assemble/disassemble. I love the suction-cup feet, so it stays put. I love that it is a nice-looking unit & looks great sitting out on the countertop.
My one big complaint is the design of the bowl: the center hole in the bowl (where the attachment spike goes) is LAME!!! Yes, the bowl is a 14-cup bowl, but the center hole is only 1-1/2" tall... so if you are making something juicy like salsa, it will pour right out thru the hole & go all over your counter! I actually had to pick the entire unit up (with the bowl & blade in place) & pour out the contents that way. It's a design flaw... if the bowl is 5" tall, why wouldn't they make the center hole 4 or 5" tall also?? I don't get it....

I got this mainly to do salsa and I love that it fits everything I need right in through the openings. It comes with 3 blades for different styles, cleans up amazingly easy by hand or is dishwasher safe. I love the suction cups on the bottom to keep it from sliding. I also love the capacity, it holds a lot of stuff so I don't have to stop, empty it and start up again. It's a little loud on medium and high speed, but I only use it for short times so it doesn't bother me. I've had this for a little over a month now and am very pleased.

I was using a very cheap food processor before this one, and so, honestly, anything is going to seem amazing in comparison, but I was VERY impressed with this.

First, it's BPA free. This is HUGE on my priorities, since I cook for my toddler, and more recently my unborn baby :)

Secondly, it works great! I've only used a couple of it's functions so far, but I can just tell by looking at the other attachments that I shouldn't have a problem using them either. I may come back and reaffirm this after I have, but chances are I'll forget :) I've used it for soup, purees, and a few other things, and have been pleasantly surprised each time with exactly what I wanted it to do. It has ample room for mixing, and the parts are amazingly easy to put together and take apart, as well as wash.

I also love that it has a little hole that you can shove the excess chord back up into when not in use, as well as suction cups to hold it down! It's not too loud either. My 3...Read more
