Motor overheated making hummus
I decided to "upgrade" my food processor and splurge on the Sous Chef 16. The first time I used it, the motor overheated 3 times trying to make a single batch of hummus. Very disappointed in this purchase.

The bowl broke and I can't find a replacement bowl anywhere
I bought a Sous Chef 16 and the hard plastic parts that hold the bowl in place broke off with normal use. I can't find a replacement bowl anywhere, which makes the whole expensive machine virtually worthless.

Love it but.....
We bought our first great food processor at the beginning of 2024, the sous chef 16. We think it's a tremendous machine but no accessories are available like the older models or other manufacturers. When are they coming out?

Missing the peeler
These newer updated models do not come with a peeler attachment and an aftermarket peeler is not available for this model. To me this is a downgrade from the previous version. Will be going back to the previous model that has a peeler and is also less expensive. Breville please make a PEELER for this so we can continue to peel potatoes!

Breville Strikes Again
BREVILLE strikes again with a superior product! It's a little big for my countertop. But I have decided that I would keep it out and it would force me to use it more regularly. It is super fast and quiet. I've used all the attachments. Looking forward to getting a Julianne slicer an additional attachments when they're released.. I have several small appliances, Berville and enjoy using each of them!

Powerful, strong machine
Nicest food processor I’ve had in 40 years. I bought it to replace a (not very old) other brand that struggled to handle a full bowl of food and was made of thin plastic that broke the first few times I used it. Plus it did not process that well, and I was tired of cutting my fingers with a knife during long cutting sessions while canning (I have a big garden) because my food processor was too wimpy to get the job done. I was discouraged thinking that small appliances are just getting cheaper and flimsier even when you buy a decent brand. The Breville shipped promptly in a plain outer box, thank you. Inside the processor was packed extremely well. This appliance is quite large! The accessories box is tucked in a cabinet while the processor itself warrants a spot on the counter. I am fairly minimalist about my kitchen counters, but I did not want to hide it in a cabinet like the previous processor, discouraging me from using it. The Damson Blue is quite handsome, I’m so tired of everything silver and gray. The plastic bowl is nice and thick and the rubber seal on the lid feels smooth. The various size food pushers snap easily in the lid (unlike my old processor, from which the pushers fell out on the floor and broke when you open it and turn it over to keep the mess off the counter). Its first job was to puree a bowl of raw tomatoes. My old processor struggled with basic tasks like this, leaving a lot of very large chunks that had to be reprocessed or cut by hand. The Breville polished off the tomatoes in six seconds, with a pleasing low rumbly sound. I didn’t have to prep them too finely either! The pulse feature is very important—if you want coarse chop, just a couple of very quick pulses! And its controls are easy to use. The bright red measure markings on the bowl are easy to see and I love the pour spout. To start the clean up, I put a little warm water and a drop of soap in the bowl, ran it a few seconds, took the bowl off and shook it over the sink, opened it and poured the soapy water over the lid and pushers, and rinsed. Something oiler would probably take a little more hot water and sink washing. I’m not putting it in the dishwasher, your choice but I think the dishwasher is pretty hard on plastics over time. I continued to use the processor for a couple of days of heavy kitchen duty. I normally like the simplicity of a knife but since I’m cooking three meals a day at home, I feel like I’m in the kitchen all day. Later I used it for coarsely chopping onions and tomatoes. The chop was fairly uniform, no big chunks to fish out. It did a decent job of pureeing peppers with the skin on (would have been better to cook them a little) and chopping onions and garlic. The small bowl also worked beautifully. We haven’t used the shredding and slicing disks yet — but we’re looking forward to some hash browns and I’m very impressed with the range of the variable slicer. I think I can get a small eggplant in the chute and will try thick slices for moussaka tonight. This machine is earning its spot on the counter!

Loads of Power
I got this 2 months ago and I am having loads of fun with this thing. As a vegetarian for 2 years, I was completely exhausted with cutting things up. Also, there were things I wouldn't even attempt because of all the prep work involved. With this thing, I can cut up all the vegetables that I would use for the week at one time. And the result is very uniform. It has completely changed what I do in the kitchen.
