BLACK+DECKER Power Pro 2-in-1 Food Processor and Blender review

Two jobs, but two different containers

The BLACK+DECKER FP2620S Power Pro 2-in-1 is unusual among the brand’s processor-only choices because the U.S. product page pairs a 10-cup work bowl with a separate 6-cup blending jar. BLACK+DECKER lists a 600-watt motor, two speeds plus pulse, a wide-mouth feed chute, a stainless-steel slice-and-shred disc, a pusher, non-skid suction feet and a safety interlock. Those are manufacturer-listed features, not a measured claim about speed, texture or noise. The page’s high-level package list names the FP2620S food processor, a blender jar and a storage lid.

This setup makes sense when the same counter space needs a bowl for chopping or slicing and a separate vessel for drinks or blended sauces. The page describes slicing, chopping, shredding, grating, puréeing and blending. A household that often switches from vegetable prep to a smoothie may value having both containers in one package rather than storing and powering two separate appliances. If blending is only an occasional task, however, the extra jar and the larger body may add clutter without solving a real routine.

What the processor side does—and what it does not establish

The wide-mouth chute and pusher are useful features to compare with a smaller processor opening, but BLACK+DECKER does not publish an opening measurement here. “Wide-mouth” therefore is not a guarantee that a particular potato, onion or other whole ingredient will fit without cutting. The listed stainless-steel disc is described for slicing and shredding; the page also names chopping, grating and puréeing among the system’s functions. It does not specify disc thickness, shred grade or an adjustable slicing setting, so choose a different package if one of those exact results is essential.

The 10-cup figure is a bowl rating, not the limit for every task. The Spectrum Brands archive’s FP2620S-cover use-and-care guide caps workbowl liquid at 3 cups and meat at 2 cups of ¾-inch cubes, pulsed in 5-second intervals. Its general advice to work at no more than half to two-thirds full is an efficiency tip, not a dry-fill maximum. Removable parts may be washed by hand or on the dishwasher’s top rack only; the base must not be immersed. The guide warns against grinding bones, grains or hard spices and against liquefying fruit or vegetables in the processor. There is an important package caveat: its illustrated replacement parts use FP2650S numbers, and the exact FP2620S page does not name a dough blade. The guide’s limit of 3½ cups flour and one minute of kneading applies only if the exact kit includes that blade. Dicing-tool inclusion, a numeric dry-fill ceiling and an overall motor run/rest limit remain unconfirmed.

Measure the cabinet before choosing the larger combination

The official page lists the body at 17.3 inches high, 14.9 inches long and 9.4 inches wide, with a listed weight of 13.3 pounds. Height is the first practical check for a counter under upper cabinets; also allow space to remove the lid, pusher and bowl rather than measuring only the parked appliance. This is a relatively substantial package to move and store, so the combination is most attractive when both sides of it will earn their place. The product page mentions suction feet and an interlock, but does not replace the exact instructions for safe setup.

How it compares with the simpler BLACK+DECKER bowls

The FP2500B is the closer alternative if you want a 10-cup BLACK+DECKER processor and do not need the additional blender jar: its exact page lists a 500-watt motor, wide-mouth chute and slice/shred disc, and a lower 16.6-inch body. It is also listed at 8.2 pounds, versus 13.3 pounds for the FP2620S. The FP4100B moves in the other direction: it has an 8-cup bowl, a 450-watt listing, an S-blade and reversible slice/shred disc, with a 15.2-inch height. The FP2620S therefore is not simply the largest bowl or the smallest machine; the meaningful difference is its 10-cup processor plus the separate blender jar. Check those exact package pages rather than assuming a shared brand name means shared accessories.

Who should shortlist it?

Shortlist the FP2620S if you have a regular use for both a 10-cup processor bowl and a 6-cup blender jar, want the listed slice/shred disc, and can accommodate its height and weight. Pass over it if a compact, lighter processor is more important, if you only need one container, or if an exact manual-backed task limit is essential before purchase. The official U.S. page identifies FP2620S, but its availability button was still checking; no price or retailer stock is established here. If you shop, search the exact FP2620S model and confirm the jar and accessory package rather than relying on a generic “Power Pro” listing.
