KMacKMac: UPDATE: The new one is a worthy successor. A bigger bowl, one lid for all the functions, and an improved safety system are great improvements.

The Black and Decker Food Processor I’ve used since 1990 – 33 years ago, isn’t working quite as well as it did last year. The motor works fine, but the spindle is off center, so the chopping blade isn’t as effective and the top slicer so handy for grated cheese or shredded cabbage doesn’t work. Sadly, I need to buy a new processor. It was far and away the cheapest model available back then when I couldn’t afford much more. I never dreamed it would grow old with me.

So, I took a look at what was available – there are a lot to choose from. When I looked at Black & Decker’s it had the same functions as mine, and it had a more modern look. It also looked to have solved the minor issue I had with its predecessor. The white housing was a little fussy to clean. The new one has a black housing and looks to be molded. Just like mine, all the parts can go into the dishwasher. Several of the reviewers marveled that it has lasted 8 or more years. Well, that’s what they do. Thirty-two...

Natty AKA Picky Polly: Some of the reviews of this little food processor made me nervous. I was worried it would be super flimsy with a motor that sounded like a shop vac. I'm glad I took a risk and ordered it anyway because it's been a pleasure to use when you consider the cost.

First, let's talk about the sound. Is it loud? Yes. Is it louder than my bullet blender? Nope. Is it louder than my standing mixer? Maybe. Is it LOUD? No, not really. I would say it's about as loud as a cheap hairdryer. I'm sensitive to motor sounds (the fan on our air conditioner makes me so nuts, I'd rather sweat than be cool and listen to it) but this one isn't bad.

Now, how well does the processor slice, shred and pulverize? This is not an elegant mandolin but it gets the job done. I've shredded cheese and cauliflower easily, I've sliced peppers and leeks without issue, and I've "chopped" onions and garlic with the big blade, no problem. (I say "chopped" when "pulverize" is more accurate.) I wouldn't use it for batters or doughs or to make nut butters because it's too inexact and the hopper doesn't hold that much.

8 cups sounds like a lot but I've found I have to empty the bowl several...

MamaElf: I was looking for a dependable yet inexpensive food processor, and this has fit the bill perfectly. I find it much easier to put together and start than other processors I have had (you know--when you have to put the lid on 80 different ways to finally get it to start?!). I love that there is an insert for the tube in the middle of the bowl so I don't have to worry about food getting down into the base of the processor like I have had to with others. Yes, it is louder than more expensive models, but after being startled the first time I started it up, it doesn't bother me anymore. Clean-up is fairly quick and easy, and the couple times I did have issues with food getting up inside the stem of the blade and being hard to reach, I believe it was my fault for adding too much food to the bowl. So far I have only used the shredding/slicing blade once, and it perfectly shredded cabbage for sauerkraut. I have used the standard chopping blade over and over again; for milling fine nut and seed flours, making ground pork and ham into a very smooth paste, coarsely chopping nuts and seeds, combining seeds and dried fruits until they were the perfect consistency for making...
