Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with a powerful 450-watt motor, this exceptionally convenient food processor makes fast, easy work of a variety of food-prep tasks. Use it to slice, dice, chop, mince, grate, or puree just about anything. The appliance comes equipped with a large 8-cup-capacity work bowl that offers a generous handle and a continuous-flow feed chute with a pusher that accommodates onions (no more tearful chopping), green peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, cheese, basil, strawberries, and other fresh ingredients, whether making soup, homemade pizza, pesto, or a fruity dessert topping to pour over ice cream. Switch out the stainless-steel chopping blade for the reversible stainless-steel slicing and shredding disk, depending on the task at hand. Two soft-touch buttons--on and off/pulse--ensure simple operation. Other highlights include a safety interlock system for peace of mind, heavy-duty suction-cup feet to keep the machine in place during operation, cord storage, and dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup. Sleek and sturdy, the food processor measures 11-2/7 by 7-4/5 by 15-2/3 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loud but works great!, January 10, 2011

This review is from: Black & Decker FP1600B 8-Cup Food Processor, Black (Kitchen)

I am giving this product 5 stars because it works excellent for the price. But I do need to wear ear plugs if I am going to use it for more than a couple of seconds. If you are looking for something more quiet, this is not for you. However, if you are looking to save money and do a great job and can deal with the noise, then this is for you. The large 8 cup workbowl is perfect for chopping things in together.

One other thing I have to say is the slicer slices pretty thin - thinner than it looks in the picture. I sliced carrots and they were about 1/8 inch in thickness.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better And More Versatile Than A Chopper, June 19, 2011

By

This review is from: Black & Decker FP1600B 8-Cup Food Processor, Black (Kitchen)

Though this mid-capacity food processor has its drawbacks (please see my review of Black and Decker's 10-cup PowerPro model for the low-down on the unstable suction-cup feet), you certainly can't beat the price--especially if you're considering buying one of those tiny food choppers which hold no more than a few cups and can't take the heat during heavy use. We've owned several of the latter and were always disappointed in that they couldn't even chop well; half the food clung to the sides of the bowl, while that in the middle tended to get pulverized. The blade of an expensive brand's jammed on its flimsy pin stem grinding raisins and was not able to be repaired without returning to the manufacturer. This processor, on the other hand, not only chops but shreds and slices quite decently, with more power and a larger work bowl. We made a cottage cheesecake to test it and the results were pretty smooth. The metal blade did a good job of powdering the grated dry cheese flavoring when blended with the sugar, and the sloped bowl kept the sticky mixture down on the bottom where it should be. The bowl leaked thin liquids under the limit line, however, so we returned it and got the 10-cup model, which has a dough blade for larger bread recipes, two speeds, and a bigger feed tube.

I would have given this food processore 5 stars if it were not for two things:

1- They put a very sticky sticker on the blade warning you that it is sharp. The sticker is so hard to remove that you nearly amputate all of your fingers getting it off. (thanks again to all you attorneys out there who constantly create situations like this)

2- There is a small space behind the inlet shoot that jams with food and it is sometime hard to get it out. I use a butter knife. Other than this it is very easy to clean.

The unit is powerful and has done everything I needed it to.
