Hamilton Beach Food Processor
Score: 76/100
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.
Hamilton Beach's Food Processor combines a 450 W motor with three speed settings and dishwasher-safe blades, delivering strong performance for puree making. Its larger footprint and limited warranty are trade-offs. Ideal for home cooks needing power and versatility in a single unit.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
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.
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.
“So easy to use!”
“smooth turning”
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.
