  Powerful and easy to clean

  I have been a dedicate Cuisinart guy for close to 50 years. When my 20 year old processor started quibbling with me, I decided to treat it as a back up and was surprised by recommendations that favored this Breville. Having used it for just shy of a month, I understand their arguments. It is BUILT TO BE CLEANED. I still wash plastics by hand and this is a breeze to clean. It is POWERFUL and I love the timer display. I won't last another 20 years but it might. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. PS The more powerful motor allows shorter base so main unit stores more easily on the counter top. The tools box is larger than older Cuisinart storage.

  Outstanding

  This is a fantastic product and stands behind the brand name. It is powerful, comes well equipped and manages anything we throw at it. This is a game changer in the kitchen. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a really good food processor to purchase from Breville.

  Love it BUT...

  I absolutely love this food processor. It works really well and I have been really impressed with it so far. It is powerful and doesn't move around. I will say thought that when I first got it I couldn't get the dang thing to work. I honestly thought I got a dud. I tried contacting someone but AI didn't know what the heck I was talking about...or thought no one was that dumb to include it as a helpful answer. Let me save you some time. Even though the bowl will click in with the handle in the front or the back-it will ONLY work if the handle is at the front. Rookie mistake? Uh...yup.

  Great machine

  Heavy. Pricey. Worth it. This unit has everything you will want or need in a food processor. It is sturdy and powerful. The 3 feed tube sizes are extremely useful as is the adjustable slicing blade. This is an expensive unit but worth it. It is also a very sleek looking machine. The storage box for the blades is brilliant

  Beautiful but Very Heavy

  So far, I am happy with my new food processor. After our two-year-old Kitchenaid food processor died, we quickly had to do some research. While I loved my old Kitchenaid, the plunger shattered, getting plastic in the food and making us quite unhappy, we couldn't buy replacement parts. After researching and reading reviews by Consumer Reports, we decided to take the plunge and buy the Breville Sous Chef 16. As an older Millennial, I will be the first to admit I nearly had a panic attack buying this food processor since I never imagined I would pay $500 for a small Kitchen Appliance. Part of what made us take the plunge was the fact that we could buy replacement parts for just about everything for this unit, and it had one of the best warranties I could find, with 2 years on parts and 30 years on the motor. While I wasn't thrilled about the price, my engineer was saying he was done with how Kitchenaid has been lately.Once this unit arrived, I was very happy with what I spent the money on. This machine is a true beast! It has a sleek, beautiful design and comes with so many different parts that it could easily replace other kitchen items (yay for space back in my kitchen). I love getting the extra 3 cups of space compared to my Kitchenaid food processor, and I love that it comes with a little bowl for smaller projects. It is also very powerful, able to handle projects with better care and truly chops things as I want them to be chopped (not just pureed if you aren't careful).My only complaint with the Breville Sous Chef 16 is that it is very difficult to move. The base weighs about 30 pounds, and even the parts container is pretty heavy. This must be something that lives on your counter since it is just a big monster. If you use it all the time (I do), this is good, but if you want something you can store away, you are not moving this thing quickly or easily. With power, we also have a considerable weight, so I shouldn't complain. As long as it lasts, it is a worthy tr

  Super sturdy, super fast, super functional! It's way better than Cuisinart.

  The Cuisinart I had for many years suddenly started breaking down in the last few months. The plastic bowl and other pieces began chipping off and cracking to where it was way too dangerous to use. I had thought they gave a lifetime warranty but not so. In any event, I purchased the Breville for our vacation home and found it vastly superior to the Cuisinart. The size is bigger but not too big. It's simple to use. I could spend an hour figuring out all the different functions on this food processor. It has numerous speeds, attachments, and so on. It's about 75% quieter than my Vitamix! I use it to shred good quality hard cheeses in seconds. I make salad dressings with it. I mince habanero peppers and hot chiles in it so I don't burn my eyes. The possibilities are endless and I'm looking forward to trying out more functions.

  Breville is the best on just about everything.

  Simply the best. Had one for 8 years until I broke the bowl by knocking it off the counter. Decided I would use a different brand because it was cheaper. Now canning season is here and it just cannot do the job. It is a major brand but it just does terrible compared to the Breville. I bit the bullet and bought a new Breville. Not cheap but does the job better than anything else. Hold more veggies, has a strong motor, chops everything uniformly and I can put it in the dishwasher. Does it last long? yes it lasts a long time if you don't knock your bowl on the concrete floor.
