More power than the 3-cup. Suction cups on the bottom. Candy canes, peanuts to peanut butter, onion in the chute — it does everyday prep. Pump mode so it doesn’t just run and obliterate. Scrapers are a real win. Check the live listing.
Hamilton Beach 10-cup food processor — the upgraded one I ran in this video. More power. Suction cups underneath.

What I actually showed
Opened with the upgraded Hamilton Beach 10-cup. More power and juice — suction cups on the under body. Kept it real simple.
Candy canes: Bowl full in. Plug in. Can load from the top; I didn’t — front load. First level, pump mode. One turn, one pump so it doesn’t run the whole time and obliterate the product. A few more pumps. Great job. Couple of chunks still; powder under the big pieces. Couple more pumps if you want finer. For a holiday family treat, fantastic.
Peanuts: If somebody in the house is allergic, get a separate processor just for peanuts. Be safe. Safety lock — if you’re not locked in, it won’t activate. Locked. Five pulses — already a super good job. Cranked to one, then two for a nice fine powder toward peanut butter. This is the upgraded version of the smaller Hamilton Beach: 10 cups versus 3 cups, more power, loading chute, features to quickly clean the sides. Final: no chunks, fine enough we’re at peanut butter. Some stuck to the bottom. Could have blitzed longer. That’s what we got in the 10-cup.
Onion: Everyday prep. Loads in the chute, no problem. Obliterated it — probably done after the first pulse. Side by side with the 3-cup after a few pumps (pretty even). You can see them next to each other.
Scrapers: Love these. Guacamole, onions, peanut butter — scrape the sides and keep going. Simple. Huge benefit.
Lock / line-up: Line it up. Lock the handle on the right of the knob. Chute on the same side as the handle. I unplug it to load and unload.
Close: does peanut butter, guacamole, everyday food prep, holiday treats. If you want the 3-cup Hamilton Beach, that’s the other video. Aloha.
Does pump mode actually help?
Yes. First level, pump — one turn, one pump. You’re not watching it run forever and turn candy canes to dust before you’re ready.
Can it make peanut butter?
Five pulses already looked great. On two it went fine enough for peanut butter with no chunks. Some stuck on the bottom. Longer blitz would push it further.
10-cup vs the 3-cup — who should upgrade?
10 cups, more power, loading chute, scrapers. I put the onion next to the 3-cup result so you can see both. If you want the smaller one, that’s the other video.

Pros
- More power than the 3-cup, with suction cups so it stays put
- Pump mode — controlled pulses, not a runaway blend
- Peanuts went to peanut-butter fine with no chunks
- Onion through the chute — basically done on the first pulse
- Side scrapers for guacamole / butter / onion
- Lock safety before it will run
Cons
- A few candy-cane chunks after the first pumps — needs more pulses for full powder
- Peanut butter can stick to the bottom; longer run helps
- Bigger footprint than the 3-cup (10 cups)
- You’ve got to line up handle + chute or it won’t lock/run
- This video is counter tests, not a dishwasher / long-term durability log
Who this is for / not
For: holiday treats, peanut butter / guacamole / onion everyday prep, and anyone who outgrew the 3-cup and wants the chute + scrapers + more juice.
Not for: a tiny counter only, or a household that needs a peanut-only dedicated unit for allergy safety (get a separate processor for that either way).

FAQ
Does it have suction cups?
Yes — on the under body. That’s the upgraded 10-cup with more power.
Pump or continuous?
Pump mode on the first level: turn to it, get a quick pump, so it doesn’t just run and obliterate.
Allergy tip for peanuts?
If someone in the house is allergic, use a separate processor dedicated to peanuts.
Will it lock without lining up?
If you’re not locked in, it will not activate. Handle on the right of the knob; chute same side as the handle.
10-cup or 3-cup?
This is 10 cups vs 3, more power, chute, scrapers. I showed onion results side by side. Smaller unit is the other video.
Price?
Check the live listing. I’m not locking a number.
