Review on 🍽️ Efficiently Process Food with BLACK+DECKER 8-Cup Food Processor, Black, FP1600B by Ryan Hampton

This is an interesting device, handy but with a few downsides. So here is the thin .Pros1. It is small and easily fits on a counter or in a closet. It is a very light device, so it can be easily stored in a small, hard-to-reach place. The device is easy to pick up and operate with one hand.2. Pretty intuitive to use. I did not read the instructions, successfully assembled and used. If you've ever used a food processor, you won't have a problem with that either.3. It seems to slice through things fairly easily, and with two blades you can slice, slice, or grate. Everything you would expect from a food processor, it does with ease. Because the device is very light, there are suction cup feet to keep it in place while in use. It's great when you let it walk (no legs, it'll probably dance on the counter) but hurts a little when you want to move it. You must consciously "pull off" the legs so they break the suction and lift the unit off the counter.2. The design of the lid is such that there is a space between the chute where you place the food and the rim of the lid for the food to get caught during processing. It's so small that you have to use a knife or other thin object to push the food back out. Not difficult if you're doing this while the food is fresh, but it becomes problematic if you wait until you've finished cooking and the food is dry to clean the lid. You won't get a washcloth there and you'll most likely have to soak it to clean it. The bowl is designed so that you cannot fill it more than 1/3 full. This is about 2 cups (or a little more) of shredded food. The bowl fits over the center spindle that holds the blades and does NOT form a tight fit on the spindle. Actually it's pretty open. If you either overfill the bowl (i.e. raise it by more than 1/3) or eat something liquid (like mashed potatoes), the processor will pour it right into the gap between the bowl and the spindle. If it is liquid enough, it will flow straight to the bottom of the engine case. Although the case is sealed, it creates a bit of a mess that needs cleaning up. That's why I say it's good for a small house. So far I have been able to chop up to 1 small carrot, 3 small celery sticks and half an onion at a time. I could probably add a little more, but not much. A little more and it seems to start going down the spindle and eventually coming out of the bowl. If you're making a meal for 4, you'll likely need to break the ingredients into smaller portions. This becomes awkward and goes against the grain of why a person uses a food processor in the first place. However, if you're one person, or maybe cooking for two, the bowls are likely large enough to slice food worth slicing. For me personally, this device does what I need and I'm happy with it. I would recommend it for a small household that doesn't need a lot of frills. This is the base unit that does the job I need.
