THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The BLACK+DECKER FP1700B manual documents an 8-cup bowl, stainless chopping blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc, feed chute and pusher, with a pulse function that runs while the control is held. A separate seller listing ties the FP1700B designation and historical ASIN B008Q3P5TO to a 220-V version marked not for the USA. That voltage detail is decisive for a North American buyer, so this profile does not present it as a U.S. household match. The manual supports the processing tools, but the exact seller package, wattage and current Amazon offer are not established. This is a source-based model review and not a hands-on performance report.

Consider it for

A shopper comparing an FP1700B with a compatible 220-V supply who will confirm the exact model and package..

Look elsewhere if

Not for a U.S. shopper who needs an exact 120-V / 60-Hz appliance or a verified current listing tied to B008Q3P5TO.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The exact manual specifies an 8-cup bowl and chopping blade.
  • A reversible slicing/shredding disc and feed-tube parts are documented.
  • The pulse control is described as hold-to-run, making the operation clear in the manual.

What to weigh up

  • The cited seller identifies this variant as 220 V and not for the USA.
  • The manual-backed sources do not establish a wattage for the candidate.
  • The historical ASIN is not verified as a current Amazon offer.

What the features mean for you

Eight cups places it between compact and large processors

The FP1700B instruction manual gives an 8-cup bowl. That provides a useful comparison scale: it is larger than a mini chopper but below the nine-cup threshold used for large-batch matching. Bowl capacity is not a promise that every recipe should be processed at the top of the vessel, so follow the manual's use directions for each ingredient. The finder treats the 8-cup figure as the source-listed main bowl rather than deriving a yield from motor power or the title. A household weighing this model against a larger processor should consider whether the routine includes full-size batches that may need to be split. [bowlCapacityCups]

A reversible disc adds two distinct prep tasks

The manual lists a reversible slicing/shredding disc as part of the FP1700B's documented tool system. Paired with the chopping blade, that gives the processor more roles than a single-blade chopper. A buyer can use the parts list to decide whether disc preparation belongs in the routine, while the manual's instructions govern assembly and feeding. The review does not infer thickness settings or compare cutting quality with other models. Confirm that a seller includes the disc and pusher before relying on the historical title or a reused parts listing, since the exact current marketplace package is unresolved. [sliceShred]

Pulse is a hold-to-run control

The operating instructions describe pulse as a control held during short processing bursts. That is a concrete operating detail, useful when the buyer wants a control that can be engaged moment by moment rather than a claim about automatic programs. The manual also places the feed chute and pusher within the processing setup. These facts explain the machine's workflow but do not prove a result, timing or ease of cleanup. Anyone comparing it with a push-top chopper should recognize that this is a bowl-and-feed-chute processor with named attachments. Read the full assembly and safety directions before processing; the review does not replace the model manual. [sliceShred]

The 220-volt variant is not a U.S. electrical match

SamStores identifies the FP1700B listing associated with B008Q3P5TO as a 220-V version and explicitly marks it not for the USA. That secondary listing is the basis for excluding this variant from a 120-V requirement. The product's familiar brand and model name do not override the voltage printed for the seller's version. The exact unit marking still matters: a buyer should not assume that all FP1700B units share a regional configuration, and this page does not recommend a transformer. No wattage is repeated because the sources saved for this row do not establish it. [northAmericanVoltage]

Use the model search as a package check

The tagged Amazon search preserves the FP1700B and 220-V clues, but the historical ASIN does not prove a current exact offer. A shopper investigating it should compare the model label, supply voltage and included bowl, disc, blade, feed tube and pusher as a set. If the offered item is a different regional variant, its rating needs its own source. If the exact seller package omits the reversible disc, it will not satisfy a need for both slicing and shredding just because the model manual describes those tools. Keeping the source boundary visible helps the comparison remain useful without turning an old seller page into an availability claim. [sliceShred, northAmericanVoltage]

What else to compare

For a verified 120-V household configuration, compare a model whose exact unit and manual establish 120 V / 60 Hz rather than relying on a similar model name.
