Breville BFP660SIL Sous Chef 12 Cup Food Processor - Silver Finish for Professional Cooking Results

Queenie: After the bowl to my 20 year old kitchen aide food processor cracked, (not replaceable), motor still works I was looking for a new food processor.
So far very pleased, solid base, easy to use. After making hummus and a batch of relish easily, I am happy with my purchase.

Stephanie J. Mihalik: My original 1975 Cuisinart was a robot coupe and it was very sharp and powerful. The next Cuisinart I bought was just a shadow of the original. This product is a return to a sturdy, competent food processor. The blades cut extremely well and I love the adjustable slicing blade. It sliced cabbage in an instant and it gave a consistent product. The central blade holder is sealed and does not leak. All the parts are sturdy and the motor is powerful. Overall a substantial well made product for serious cooks.

Encyclo PG: This thing is big and heavy. It's about the size of a blender. It works quickly as you'd expect but it's surprisingly quiet. No loud whirring or anything. It just hums. Anyway, I like this thing so much that I'm looking into other Breville appliances now.

S. Mac: This was my 4th attempt on getting a food processor that I use regularly to make cookie dough. 3 C***art brand did not cut it, even though my prior one was that brand and worked for many years.
The Breville is doing a good job after my first few tries. It is easy to clean and the base is heavy, which I wanted.

Valerie Gordon: *Edit. Used my processor for the first time. It's very noisy, but also powerful. Easy to set up and use. I used the fine shredding disc and it even did onions beautifully, and no waste! Easy to clean. I am beyond pleased.

Just recieved this food processor. The building attendant pushed the box (big enough to put a large person in) into my apartment and took everything out for me. It's packed like Russian nesting dolls in 3 boxes, one smaller than the next, so no way is this going to be damaged. First the heavy discs came out. Really heavy duty, and handles...no more putting fingers in round circles! Then, the bowl, all marked like a measuring cup. A thing of beauty, and everything appears to be very sturdily made. The attendant then hefted the gorgeous bottom onto my counter where it will live. It's too tall to fit under my counter with the lid on in the correct but set in upside down it works. The 3 sizes of pusher openings are great. Honestly, I have to say this is the most beautiful appliance I've ever had. Even the bloody cord end is unique! Thrre is a hoke so you can pull it out without yanking and putting a strain on the end. It better also be the best working because...

Brian: This is a powerful and quiet machine that has excellent fit and finish. I particularly like the variable width slicing disk. This handily beats my old KitchenAid food processor in every way.

Nature / Food / Music lover: I have used food processors since the mid 1980s. I have gone through 5... maybe 6 of them? This is definitely a huge step up; lot of money for a kitchen tool, but wow.: what a performance. The bowl is larger than my previous one which is great - perfect for soups, batter, and sausage emulsions. And so easy to clean! The chopping blade is super-efficient: did garlic and jalapenos last night, and I ever never seen a machine chop so evenly. The slicing blade has an adjustable knob so you can vary thicknesses... AWESOMNESS! And it works great! I have not yet tried the grater. Oh and also: the machine is so much more quiet than any machine I have owned before! I would very highly recommend it. The base is heavy - such a powerful motor - but that is OK as I leave it permanently on my kitchen counter.

Eric L: I read a lot of good reviews about this food processor, so I decided to buy it. Maybe I was unlucky and was sent a bad unit, but it broke after 2 years while processing almonds. It turns out the locking mechanism on the motor unit was faulty. Breville replaced the product at no cost when I sent them some pictures of the broken locking mechanism on the motor unit. I am very pleased with the after-sale service I received from Breville.

Jeshua Cail: I have been cooking for about 30 years, went to culinary school, etc. I have never owned a food processor before, though I have used many. In the past, they weren't good enough to make it worth even using, much less purchasing. With my chef's knife, everything always came out how I wanted it, and faster, when you consider cleanup (and you have to get the knife and cutting board out/dirty ANYWAY to use a food processor). That all said, it seemed like technology might be advanced to the point where I could use one, so I looked into them a bit.

This one had great reviews, and at 1000W, was double the power of some of the cheaper ones. I'm glad I didn't get one of those! I was able to stall this motor completely (It was just for a second, a few times. I didn't push it, but it didn't blow any breakers or shut off) by pushing ham into the grating disc too hard. The 1200W motor of the sous chef 16 might have been better for me, but it was 60-70% more expensive, and I'm sure I could stall out a 3000W motor the same way. 1000W is plenty, I just always want more.

First of all, it's super easy to clean, and it comes apart fast and easily. Don't listen to these whiners who want...

Marla H.: This is a long review and you deserve to have my credentials. I am an ex-Cuisinart owner. The first food processor I bought (because I didn't know any better; see below) was the Cuisinart Pro and I suffered with that machine for 10 years until the detachable stem broke, liberating me from Cuisinart design flaw hell and allowing me to rush into the arms of Breville, a company MUCH smarter about design. I bought the Breville two years ago and, literally, finally understood why people love food processors so much. My husband and I love this machine so much that when a family emergency recently required us to convert to a commuter marriage, we bought a second Breville so that neither of us would have to go without. It would have been cheaper to get a Cuisinart Prep 9 or a KitchenAid, but the Breville is so superior in design and materials that there was just no way ethically that we could justify supporting another one of those crappy machines into production.

If you've never owned a food processor before or if you're looking to replace your Cuisinart, let me make this simple: Cuisinart $uck$ for making anything liquid and Breville doesn't. If you've never owned or used a food...
