3 to 4 cup electric food chopper
Hamilton Beach 70585
Best 3 to 4 cup electric food chopper – High-End – 100 $ to 200 $
The Hamilton Beach 70585 is our High-End choice for cooks who want room for larger batches without giving up a smaller bowl for modest jobs. Buyers praise its chopping power, capacity and easy-to-clean lid. It is a practical fit for regular food preparation, provided you accept the need to handle its plastic parts with care.
A versatile processor for larger and smaller jobs
The main reason to choose the Hamilton Beach 70585 is its two-bowl setup. Buyers describe the large bowl as roomy and specifically like the smaller bowl for separate, smaller preparations. That gives it a broader everyday role than a compact chopper alone. Buyers also report that it makes quick work of chopping, grating and blending, and one verified buyer says the motor is as powerful as needed. The same buyer found the lid easier to clean than an older food processor because it has fewer places for food to collect. There is no published test from a recognised specialist magazine or independent testing laboratory for this model, so the case for it rests on these buyer reports rather than a professional test.
Choose the Hamilton Beach 70585 if you want one machine for routine chopping, grating and blending, with a roomy bowl for larger preparations and a smaller bowl for lighter tasks. Buyers repeatedly describe it as well made, effective and easy to clean. One verified buyer says it replaced an older KitchenAid processor and chops extremely well; another says it handles anything they need to chop, grate or blend and recommends it. The important reservation is durability: some buyers report that the machine or plastic parts failed after limited use, while reliability feedback is divided. Treat the dishwasher-safe claim cautiously and hand-wash the parts if preserving them matters to you.
Who it’s for For home cooks who prepare both larger batches and small quantities, and want quick everyday chopping, grating or blending with straightforward cleanup.

What to know
