Hamilton Beach knows a thing or two about making countertop workhorses that don’t break the bank. The 70735 10-Cup Food Processor takes the usual chopping and slicing duties and adds a dedicated spiralizer, turning zucchini into zoodles and carrots into ribbons without needing a separate gadget. That single addition makes it a smart pick if you’re trying to eat more vegetables or just want to add texture to salads and stir-fries.

The 10-cup bowl is large enough for a family-sized batch of salsa or coleslaw, but not so bulky it dominates your counter. The stainless steel S-blade handles chopping, mixing, and pureeing with authority—think hummus or pesto in under a minute. Swap in the slicing and shredding disc for quick work on cheese or potatoes. The spiral and ribbon blades attach easily, and the machine pushes through firm veggies like sweet potatoes without stalling. It’s a manual operation, so you control the pulse and speed directly.

Build quality is solid for the price point. The attachments feel durable, and the grey and stainless finish looks clean without being flashy. One limitation: the feed chute is on the smaller side, so you’ll need to cut larger produce into manageable pieces before feeding it through. That’s a minor trade-off for a machine that does four jobs with one motor.
