The Hamilton Beach 70733 has earned strong ratings from over 42,000 customers, and for good reason. Its standout feature is the built-in bowl scraper, which lets you push ingredients back into the blades while the machine is running. That means no stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula, no removing the lid mid-task. It saves real time when you’re working through a batch of salsa or pesto.

The 10-cup capacity handles most home cooking needs, from shredding blocks of cheese to slicing a head of cabbage. You get adjustable speed control and a large feed shoot, so you don’t have to pre-cut vegetables into tiny pieces. The interchangeable blade set covers chopping, grating, mincing, and pureeing. It feels solid in daily use, though the plastic bowl can feel a bit lightweight compared to pricier models.

One honest limitation: the motor isn’t the most powerful on the market. It handles softer ingredients and moderate chopping without issue, but dense doughs or large volumes of hard vegetables will slow it down. For most home cooks, that’s a fair trade-off for the price and the scraper convenience.
