Our take
The BLACK+DECKER FP1140BD is a documented 8-cup household processor with a chopping blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc, feed chute, center post, and two speeds plus pulse. The source row's color and historic Amazon ASIN are not confirmed against a current seller package. A 2019 research methods section identifies the FP1140BD and reports 450 watts, which is a secondary model-specific reference rather than a current offer. The manual-supported tool set is the stronger buying distinction: this model can address chopping and disc preparation, but the saved list does not document a dedicated dough blade.
A shopper wanting a straightforward mid-size feed-tube processor with a documented reversible disc..
Skip it if you require a 9-cup-or-larger bowl, a second work bowl, a dough blade, or a current exact-ASIN link.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact model manual specifies an 8-cup bowl and a reversible slicing/shredding disc.
- Two continuous speeds and a pulse control are described for separate processing tasks.
- The feed chute, center post, blade, disc, and pushers are identified in the manual.
What to weigh up
- The historical listing's black finish and ASIN mapping are not independently verified.
- The manual's included parts do not list a dedicated dough blade or second bowl.
- The 450-watt reference comes from a research methods section, not a maker specification page.

What the features mean for you
A mid-size capacity with a clear boundary
BLACK+DECKER's FP1140BD manual identifies a 1.89-liter, 8-cup work bowl. That is a useful middle ground for someone who wants a feed-tube processor but does not require a nine-cup-or-larger bowl. The capacity figure is the manual's nominal work-bowl description, not a promise that every food or recipe fits at once. The listed parts include a center post, work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and reversible disc; the saved list does not identify a separate small bowl. [bowlCapacityCups, smallBowl]
Chop and slice/shred tools
The manual distinguishes a chopping blade from a reversible slicing and shredding disc. That tool arrangement supports both bowl chopping and feed-chute preparation, which is more versatile than a bowl-only mini chopper. The disc's reversibility is documented, but the saved manual does not establish adjustable slice thickness or a dedicated spiralizer. It also does not list a dicing kit. If a specialty cut matters, verify the exact attachment rather than treating a general-purpose disc as a substitute. [sliceShred]
Two speeds and pulse
The FP1140BD uses two numbered speeds and a pulse control. The manual explains pulse as an intermittent control for chopping and gives separate instructions for disc processing. These control facts can help a buyer compare the model with processors that only provide one continuous setting. They do not establish a speed rating, motor torque, or measured cut quality. A separate 2019 research paper names the FP1140BD in a food-preparation procedure and reports 450 watts; that remains an academic methods reference rather than a current marketplace or manufacturer offer. [sliceShred]
No dough blade is documented
The saved model manual lists a chopping blade and a reversible slice/shred disc, but it does not list a dedicated dough blade. That is why the expert profile does not qualify FP1140BD for a hard dough-blade requirement. This is a narrow claim about the documented included parts, not a prediction about whether someone could use the chopping blade for a particular mixture. The profile also leaves out claims about grinding meat, dicing, or spiralizing because those assemblies are not listed for this model. [doughBlade]
Keep the row title separate from an exact offer
The frozen record calls the unit black and supplies historical ASIN B00HEZU5RW, but the manual verifies the FP1140BD model rather than that specific seller item. We therefore use a tagged model search instead of a direct ASIN link. The model remains distinct from BLACK+DECKER FP1300 and FP1800B, even though some of those products also have an 8-cup bowl. Confirm the FP1140BD code, the bowl and disc, and the seller's condition before buying. No current price, stock, rating, or buyer-review summary is asserted. [bowlCapacityCups]
What else to compare
For 11 cups and a dedicated dough blade compare Cuisinart FP-11GM; for an 8-cup model with a scraper and dough blade compare Hamilton Beach 70820.
