Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Talk about multitasking! You'll save precious counter space and cut down on clutter as this appliance performs double duty. The Hamilton Beach BlenderChef comprises a blender and a food processor that share a single base with a powerful motor and 12 settings. The food processor features a 3-cup plastic bowl with food chute and oil dispenser, a stainless-steel "S" blade for chopping and mixing, and a reversible disc blade for slicing and shredding. The 40-ounce glass blender jar has a wide mouth for easy pouring. For all it's capable of, this unit is both handy and compact. --Alison Golder

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality at a reasonable price, August 11, 2000

By	Paul Bobbitt "Pobbit" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I gave a Hamilton Beach blender to a friend of mine as a gift last year. It's worked wonderfully, and that's pretty incredible, considering it's been used primarily for pulverizing ice for margaritas! I'm sure most blenders would have gone to small appliance heaven by now, but it just keeps on going. The glass blender jar is much nicer than plastic. Both probably work as well, but glass looks more permanent and makes for a nicer gift. I have a small food processor as well, and now I'm kicking myself, since it looks like they included it in this blender set at about half the price I paid for it. Good quality product, and remarkable value.

5.0 out of 5 stars What did I do before I had this?, May 1, 2000

By	"carmenyanne" (Burlington, WI) - See all my reviews

I recently got my blender/processer, and have enjoyed using it almost every day. I started making smoothies for breakfast -- the ice crusher feature is great. When I get home, chopping up veggies for a quick stir-fry or sauce is a breeze with the food processor attachment. No more crying over onions or concentration for carrot chopping. This very economically priced multi-function appliance is very VERY welcome in my kitchen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Blender - Great!, Food Processor - A real loser!, March 2, 2001

By A Customer

I've just thrown out the food processor part of this appliance and replaced it with one that actually processes food! Often when you buy a tool or appliance that has more than one function you get a compromise that does neither task well. In this case, the blender works great, just as my old HB blender did for 20 years. However, whoever designed the food processor attachment didn't test it out enough in the kitchen. The ends of mixing blades are a good half inch from the sides of the bowl, when mixing or chopping anything but pure liquids, all the food gets moved to the sides of the bowl and out of the way of the blades. I had to continually stop it and scrape the food back into the center only to have it spin to the sides unchopped again - totally useless! Also shredding cheese nearly brings the slice/shred blade to a stop. Just not enough power there.
