Black+Decker 8-Cup Food Processor
Score: 77/100
The Hungry Artisan Food Mill
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Hungry Artisan Ergonomic Food Mill is a compact stainless-steel mill praised for its smooth, low-effort handle and versatile three-disc system. It is limited to softened foods and lacks an ultra-fine disc, with no clear batch capacity. Ideal for home cooks with limited space who need a reliable manual pureeing tool.
The BLACK+DECKER 8-Cup Food Processor offers a powerful 450 W motor and a generous bowl, making it suitable for everyday chopping and shredding. Its overly sensitive safety interlock and bulkier footprint can be frustrating for some users. Best for casual cooks who value simplicity and capacity over advanced speed control.

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”
“So easy to use!”
Professional reviewers and editors commend the Hungry Artisan for its ergonomic, low-effort handle, compact footprint, and precise grinding discs that excel in recipes like applesauce and tomato sauce. However, coverage is sparse and they note the absence of the ultra-fine disc found in the premium version.
Everyday users praise the mill's smooth turning, easy disassembly for storage, and versatility across baby foods, jams, soups, and mashed potatoes, while noting the need for softened foods and wishing for clearer capacity guidance.
