Black+Decker 8-Cup Food Processor
Score: 74/100
Ostba Meat Slicer
Score: 81/100Rankings
The OSTBA model with a 200W motor and 7.5-inch serrated blade delivers strong cutting power and extensive safety features in a compact footprint. Specification variations and absence of a warranty introduce some uncertainty for buyers. It fits well for home users needing reliable, safe slicing in limited space.
The BLACK+DECKER 8-cup processor offers a straightforward lid-lock design, dishwasher-safe components and a solid 450 W motor for everyday chopping and slicing. Its limited speed options and a finicky safety interlock reduce convenience for more demanding tasks. Best suited for beginners and small families seeking an affordable, easy-to-clean processor.

Professional reviewers commend the BLACK+DECKER processor for its straightforward lid-lock assembly, generous 8-cup capacity, and dishwasher-safe parts, noting it delivers solid performance for everyday chopping, slicing, and shredding tasks at a budget-friendly price. However, they also flag its limited speed options and the overly sensitive safety interlock, and they caution that the motor may falter with tough meats or very hard ingredients.
Everyday users consistently praise the ease of setup, large bowl size, and quick cleanup, often highlighting the sharp blade and value for money. Recurring complaints focus on the finicky interlock that won't start unless the lid is perfectly aligned, the processor's struggle with hard foods, and the unit's bulkiness and confusing weight listings.
“chops vegetables as fine as you want”
“won't turn on if not perfectly aligned”
