Our take
Hamilton Beach identifies model 70450 as an 8-cup bowl food processor with a 300-W motor, stainless chopping and mixing blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc, and On/Pulse control. The maker separately states an 8-cup dry-ingredient capacity and a 2-cup liquid limit. That distinction matters more than treating one number as a universal working volume. The source row says “Renewed,” but its historical ASIN and present seller package are not verified, so the affiliate link is an exact-model search. This is a source-based review, not a personal-use claim.
A household that wants standard slicing, shredding, chopping, and puréeing in an 8-cup dry bowl..
Skip it if you need a separate small bowl, a large liquid capacity, a dedicated dough blade, dicing, or spiralizing.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Hamilton Beach documents both 8 cups of dry ingredients and a 2-cup liquid maximum.
- The included reversible disc covers slicing and shredding, with a separate chopping blade.
- On/Pulse control and dishwasher-safe removable parts are listed by the maker.
What to weigh up
- The 2-cup liquid limit is far below the dry bowl capacity.
- The saved included-parts list does not show a second work bowl or specialty cutting kit.
- The historical renewed ASIN is not verified as a current Amazon offer.

What the features mean for you
Read both capacity figures together
Hamilton Beach lists the work bowl at 8 cups for dry ingredients and caps liquid at 2 cups. Those are different limits for different contents, not interchangeable versions of the same capacity claim. The model may suit a cook who wants a mid-size bowl for chopping, slicing, shredding, or dry preparation, but the small liquid maximum matters for soups, dressings, or large sauce batches. A capacity preference in the finder uses the documented dry-bowl number; the review and specs preserve the lower liquid figure so it is not hidden. The source page does not give a second bowl or a separate small-batch vessel. [bowlCapacityCups, smallBowl]
A standard blade and reversible disc set
The maker page describes a stainless steel chopping and mixing blade and a reversible slicing/shredding disc. It presents the disc as a two-sided tool and lists thin or thick cuts. That makes the 70450 useful to compare with models that only have chopping blades, but it does not imply dicing, spiralizing, or julienne functions. Those tools are not in the documented included-parts list. The On/Pulse dial also gives a simple distinction between running and pulsing, without an unsupported claim about exact speed settings. If your main weekly jobs are standard vegetable slices, shreds, dips, or chopped ingredients, the maker’s listed tools map to those tasks. [sliceShred, dicingKit, spiralizer]
The liquid limit changes recipe planning
An 8-cup bowl may look generous on a headline, but Hamilton Beach specifies that it holds up to 2 cups of liquid. That upper limit should guide any decision about blending or puréeing a wet recipe in the work bowl. It is not evidence that the product can safely handle an 8-cup soup batch. For liquid preparation, use the limit in the manufacturer instructions and split larger quantities if appropriate. The maker also says the removable parts are dishwasher safe and that the clear pusher has measurement marks. Those details describe the documented design; they do not establish measured speed or texture quality. [bowlCapacityCups]
Know what is not included
Hamilton Beach’s product page names one work bowl, a chopping/mixing blade, and a reversible disc. It does not document a separate mini bowl, dough blade, dicing kit, spiralizer, or dedicated meat grinder. The profile therefore keeps those attributes distinct from standard chopping and disc work. The 70450 is not a two-bowl system like the KFP720, and the 8-cup bowl should not be mistaken for a second vessel. That matters when one recipe calls for a small prep batch while another remains in the main bowl. If package completeness is important, compare the model number and parts list rather than relying on the word “processor.” [smallBowl, doughBlade, meatGrinder]
Model identity and seller uncertainty
The Hamilton Beach page identifies the 70450 model and its documented design. The frozen candidate title describes a renewed unit, but the inaccessible historic Amazon page does not establish that the ASIN currently maps to an exact 70450 offer or that a seller has the same accessories. The tagged search link is deliberately model-specific and does not claim stock, condition, or price. Check whether the listing includes the bowl, cover, blade, disc, stem, and pusher. The maker page supplies the model facts; the current marketplace package remains a separate question. [bowlCapacityCups, sliceShred]
What else to compare
The KFP720 adds a separate 3-cup mini bowl; the DFP-3 is smaller but offers a continuous-feed chute with slicing and shredding discs.
Before you buy
What does the 8-cup capacity mean on model 70450?
Hamilton Beach states up to 8 cups of dry ingredients, while the maximum liquid capacity is 2 cups.
Does it slice and shred?
Yes. The maker lists a reversible slicing and shredding disc along with a stainless chopping and mixing blade.
Is the historic renewed ASIN a verified current offer?
No. The source row’s ASIN is not crosswalked to a current exact listing, so this page links to a tagged model search.
