I got it to replace a 9 year old Cuisinart after the work bowl locking mechanism finally gave up the ghost. Though the machine did its job (or so I thought), the work bowl and lid were flimsy and broke if you looked at it wrong. I re-glued the locking mechanism back together numerous times. It was also difficult to clean. To replace the crappy work bowl and lid was $110. Nope.I settled on the Breville based on my satisfaction with other Breville appliances I have and on reviews online and on UTube. It does not disappoint: Fast, quiet (relatively), and the blades are sharp as blue blazes. Bowl is much sturdier than the Quisinart and the locking mechanism is much less sensitive and easy to use. I’ve done Oreo cookie crust, sliced potatoes, chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro for salsa. Cilantro was perfect. Cut, not bruised.Worth the investment for sure!

Worth every penny. First, I ordered a new cuisinart after giving mine to my daughter. When the new one came I was shocked at the poor quality. Sent it back and ordered this beauty!!! If you want something that’s powerful, easy to use, and will last- this is the one! Just as great as my Breville Air Fryer/Bake Oven. You pay more, but worth it!

Very heavy and well built. Easy access with top that seals and comes off with ease. Multiple blades and adjustable slicer makes preparation a breeze. Highly recommend!!

After our old one gave out I decided to spend a little more money and buy a better brand. It's very easy to assemble and it isn't rocket science to operate it. At first when I started it up I thought it was making an unusal noise, but after watching a few Youtube videos I realized it was normal. It isn't really that loud. We love the adjustable slicing blade. Overall we're happy with the product.

This is one sweet piece of equipment. The Breville company designers must be people who actually use the devices they sell, because they are designed and built so well. This my 3rd food processor (the first was a KitchenAid, the second a Cuisineart). I received my new Breville yesterday, and so far, I have only done two things with it: I made a batch of hummus, and I made a batch of frozen banana-cherry "nice cream." Both came out perfectly! Here are my observations:The Breville motor has more power than my earlier models, and effortlessly processes stuff, and is fast! The Breville electrical plugs are the BEST. They have a ring to hook your finger in to plug/unplug. It also retracts up into the base for storage. Now, most people would not think too much about power cord plugs, but this just gives you an idea of the attention to detail paid by Breville product designers.The plastic bowl and lid are made of much heavier plastic than my earlier models and seems very durable. It has easy to see/read volume markings on the side. It attached to the base smoothly and securely. As a plus, it was the easiest to clean of any other food processor bowl/top that I have used; no little crevices or notches to trap food particles. The S-blade, which I use the most, was very sharp. It wa also very easy to clean, and did not trap food inside the blade handle like my Cuisinart did (which was very difficult to clean). NOTE: Read your instruction manual!!! Unlike other food processors, the S-blade must be used with the spindle. There is also a nifty little storage tray to safely store the S-blade.The slicing blade looks well designed. Although I have not used it yet, and it is a feature I rarely use, I like the fact it can be adjusted to several thicknesses, including a closed position to make it safer to wash. I'm going to give it a go next batch of scalloped potatoes, and if it functions as well as I suspect, I will use it more often than I used the slicing blades on previous processors. The previous processors were such a pain in the patoot to clean that I didn't pull them out just to slice a few veggies. There is a grater disc, which I might use in the future, but grating is not something I do in large volumes.This is my 4th Breville product, following a countertop airfryer/oven, a toaster, and a hand mixer. Each of those other products have also been well designed and performed flawlessly for several years. Breville products are more expensive, but I have found them to be worth the added cost because they work so incredibly well.If you use a food processor regularly, then look no further and buy this one. I think you will be very satisfied.

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.

I purchased this to replace a 15 year old Cuisinart which was a real work horse in my kitchen. It needed a replacement part which was permanently unavailable. So it was time to retire the machine. I thought I would definitely get a Cuisinart but after reading the reviews and talking to a friend who owns a Breville, I decided to do a hands on comparison in a local store.What a difference in the solid feel of the Breville parts. The bowl was much thicker and appeared to have a better seal with a rubber gasket. Of course it is a pricer product but if it is a better, quieter machine it was worth a try.Fantastic, superior shredding and slicing over the Cuisinart and no issues with blending wet ingredients (no leakage!) I am very happy with my choice of the Breville 12 cup.One word of warning... Tell all of your dishwashing helpers DO NOT PUT THE LARGE PUSHER IN THE DISHWASHER!!! It will distort the plastic and will you will require a new one which has to be ordered (Amazon doesn't offer it)

Easy to assemble. Easy to operate. Very quiet. The motor base is heavier than the others that we've which likely reflects quality. Overall the nicest food processor we've ever had.However, this unit must be handled with care. The plastic parts seem less durable than the cheap Hamilton Beach unit that we had previously. My daughter accidently dropped the lid while handling it, and it fell to the vinyl floor, and broke. Fortunately, replacement parts are available from the manufacturer.

Freakin' awesome. Sturdy, powerful, extremely efficient. Easy to use, clean and adjust. Quiet. Finished product is outstanding. Not a mangled mess, nor shredded as though torn by hand. Makes light work of dough preparations. This machine just WORKS. It is large which may make hidden kitchen storage difficult for some but I'm managing nicely. I've had the economy machine in the past and put up with the ineffectiveness, hence a lot of hand work for me. But, this unit is as advertised. If you have a genuine use for a food processor, this is your money well spent.

This is the best kitchen appliance after my espresso machine .Pros:sharp bladeseasy to cleanslick designCons:bulky and ackward to storeheavy (likey cuz of the huge motor inside)Odd:has a trigger in the shute pusher which locks the motor from running until you insert the shute pusher - a funny safety mechanism. I understand it, but don't like how it was built in. It seems to me this was an after-thought of the industrial designers at Breville. It's a minor issue, and if you can get this on special then you won't regret the Breville Sous Chef.
