Hamilton Beach
The Hamilton Beach Food Processor Vegetable Chopper (8‑cup 70740) is a versatile kitchen appliance that combines a 450‑watt motor with interchangeable S‑blade and reversible slicing/shredding disc, offering chopping, slicing, shredding, pureeing and mincing functions. Its large 8‑cup bowl and wide feed tube make it suitable for family‑size prep, while smaller 3‑cup stack‑and‑press models provide a compact alternative for single‑serve tasks.

Users Complain About
Expert Opinion
Professional sources are limited; product pages and retailer descriptions highlight the powerful motor, multi‑functionality and easy cleanup, but note the lack of independent third‑party reviews.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the motor power, dishwasher‑safe parts and compact size of the 3‑cup version, but commonly mention the absence of slicing/shredding capability in smaller models and the bulkiness of the larger 8‑cup unit.
Common Complaints
The larger 8‑cup model is considered bulky and heavy; the 3‑cup models lack slicing/shredding discs; cleaning the feed tube can be difficult; and there are no independent expert reviews to confirm performance.
How It Compares
Within the Hamilton Beach lineup, the 8‑cup 70740 model offers higher power (450W), larger capacity and a reversible slicing/shredding disc, making it ideal for batch processing and versatile tasks. The 3‑cup stack‑and‑press models are lighter, more compact, and include features like an oil dispenser, but they only provide chopping and pureeing functions, lacking the slicing/shredding capability of the larger unit.
