Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Food Processor with Bowl Scraper, White & Stainless (70733) review

A ten-cup processor built around a scraper

The Hamilton Beach 70733 is the white-and-stainless bowl-scraper configuration, not just another color label for the black 70730J. Its exact U.S. product page identifies a 10-cup bowl, a 450-watt motor, two speeds plus pulse, a chopping/pureeing S blade, a reversible slicing/shredding disc and a bowl scraper. That is a useful package for cooks who repeatedly stop to push ingredients off the sides of a bowl while making dips or sauces. It is less compelling if the scraper is only an occasional convenience and your real need is an attachment such as a dicing grid or spiralizer.

Know what the scraper changes—and what is still unverified

Hamilton Beach describes the scraper as movable from side to side while the machine runs or while the power is off, so a user can clear the bowl without taking off the lid. That is a genuine workflow difference from a plain processor: a thick mixture that clings to the wall may need less stopping and spatula work. It is not independent evidence that the machine produces a smoother result, nor does the page publish a measured time saving or a batch-size gain. The bowl rating remains a capacity comparison, not a promise that every 10-cup recipe fits at once.

The page lists a scraper alongside the S blade and reversible disc, but does not explain whether the scraper can be used simultaneously with the disc. That distinction matters if you want to rotate the scraper during long slicing or shredding runs. I would not count the 70733 as meeting an essential “scraper and disc at once” requirement without that compatibility confirmed in model-specific instructions. A scraper need by itself is supported; a particular combined operating arrangement is not.

Two basic tools cover different jobs

The stainless S blade is the listed choice for chopping and pureeing; the reversible disc handles slicing on one face and shredding on the other. Together, they cover everyday vegetable prep, cheese, chopped aromatics and dips without a large accessory collection. They do not amount to a dicing kit: thin or shredded output is a different cut from a uniform grid dice. The exact included-tools list also does not name a dedicated dough blade, whisk, second work bowl or spiralizer. If any of those is essential, do not let the bowl scraper or motor wattage stand in for that missing package evidence.

The specification labels the feed chute “Standard.” The product page also calls it large in its descriptive copy, but publishes no opening width. Treat that as a cue to check your usual produce and cheese sizes rather than a measured guarantee that whole ingredients will fit. The page lists a supplied pusher, but its linked booklet does not verify assembly or safety instructions for base model 70733; follow the manual that actually names your model before use. The bowl rating and photo do not establish actual batch yield or how much pre-cutting your recipes will require.

Dimensions and cleanup need ordinary kitchen checks

The manufacturer’s exact page image alt text gives the body as 15.47 inches high, 10.25 inches wide and 8.34 inches deep. Use those published dimensions only as a first cabinet check: leave additional room to remove the lid, handle the feed tube and lift the bowl. They are not an operating-clearance diagram. The page says the bowl, lid, scraper and attachments are dishwasher-safe, which can make cleanup more convenient, but it does not specify top-rack placement or a sanitizing-cycle allowance. If your cleaning requirement is specifically top-rack safe, the available evidence does not yet establish that.

The manual link is a real reason to hold back on specialized claims

The 70733 product page links Use & Care file 840213703. Its final model marking names 70730 and 70731, with letter suffixes, rather than the separate base model 70733. Because the page and booklet disagree on the exact model family, I have not copied over the booklet’s ingredient limits, duty cycle, care directions or prohibited-use list. The 70733 page supports its listed bowl, tools, power, controls, dimensions and broad dishwasher claim; it does not answer every operating or safety question.

This matters for more than paperwork. The 70733 is not a responsible fit for someone who needs a published flour ceiling, specific nut maximum, documented continuous-run limit or an exact rule for ice, frozen food or dry grinding. Those facts remain unknown, not a negative claim that the processor cannot do a task. Ask Hamilton Beach for the manual applicable to 70733 before relying on any such use or care instruction. A one-year limited-warranty statement is on the exact page, but the mismatched booklet’s additional warranty terms should not be imported.

Who should compare the 70733?

Put it on a shortlist if a 10-cup bowl, ordinary S-blade and reversible-disc jobs, two speeds plus pulse, and a bowl scraper describe your real routine. Compare the 70730J if you prefer its black finish and want to read the manual tied to that model family; compare a standard 12-cup model such as the 70729FG if bowl volume matters more than the scraper. Those alternatives do not automatically solve every manual question either, so read each exact model’s documentation rather than assuming family resemblance.

In the finder, a 10-cup minimum and a scraper requirement can include the 70733 because both are stated for this exact U.S. package. A stricter need for scraper-and-disc compatibility, a dedicated dough blade, dicing, top-rack care or a manual-verified batch limit should exclude it until those points are documented. Measure the real storage opening, choose the tools you will actually use, and treat unknown operating limits as unknown.
