About this product
This vintage Hamilton Beach food processor model 712-2 features 6 speeds with pulse control and a citrus juicer attachment. It can slice, shred, blend, and juice fruits and vegetables. The unit is made of plastic in beige and includes a base, blades, bowl, citrus press, and pusher. It has features like continuous feed, detachable parts, and non-slip feet. It operates on 120 volts.
Our take
This vintage Hamilton Beach processor is a nostalgic find that still works well. The 6 speeds and pulse function give good control for slicing, shredding, and juicing. The included citrus juicer is a handy bonus. However, the plastic feels dated, and the 1-blade setup limits versatility. It's a solid performer for basic tasks, and the detachable parts make cleaning easier. At $60, it's a reasonable price for a retro appliance that gets the job done, but don't expect modern power or features.
