Hamilton Beach Big Mouth 14 Cup 70570

Pros

Cons
  • No dough blade
  • Somewhat noisy
Where to Buy
 

Most under-$100 food processors don't impress expert testers very much, but the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth 14 Cup is different. It chops, grates, shreds, slices and purees every bit as well as pricier food processors like the top-rated Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC-2011CHB (*Est. $200) in one major expert test, although the Hamilton Beach is noisier and it doesn't have a dough blade. It does come with a chopping blade and a reversible slicing/shredding disc. Its 14-cup capacity is roomier than most, its wide feed tube is designed to fit whole vegetables, and both experts and owners appreciate the suction-cup feet that keep it steady on the counter. However, its one-year warranty is shorter than the Cuisinart's. It comes in two colors, white (70570) and black (70573).
