About this product
This is a vintage West Bend replacement parts kit from the 1980s, compatible with models 6500, 6500-1, and 6501. The 2-cup beige plastic set includes blades, bowl, lid, pusher, shredder, slicer, chopper container, and instruction booklet. It features click-lock detachable parts with reversible blades for chopping, shredding, and slicing. Made in the USA, it's a full-size unit despite the small bowl capacity. At $35.00, it's a complete kit for restoring a classic machine.
Our take
Finding parts for a 40-year-old food processor is tough, but this West Bend kit is a treasure. It includes everything: blades, bowls, manuals—the works. The reversible blades are a clever touch, and the click-lock assembly feels sturdy. My only gripe is the 2-cup capacity; it's tiny for a full-size processor, limiting what you can prep at once. Still, if you own one of the compatible models, this is a perfect match. The retro beige color and US build add charm.
