Breville Sous Chef 16 Cup Pro Food Processor Brushed Stainless Steel: BFP800XL, 1200W, Safety Lock, Dishwasher-Safe Parts

My only complaint it will be that Breville should sale parts also. The reason why is because the Sous Chef 16 engine is amazing but the bowl and pusher is not as good as the engine.

I think this is the best food processor I have every used. It is large enough for my big family and it is fast. My meal prep has gone down significaly at least 30-1hours a day and no more worries about cutting my fingers chopping with a knife. It made great chicken sausage as well is just 3 pulses.

It makes quick work of chopping onions. No more tears! There are many blades for all sorts of cutting and chopping. I recently processed cabbage and carrot for colesaw. Done in no time! Also like the storage container for the blades and the option of the smaller bowl.

Good Machine lots of power and Quality accessories. Making my dips far more consistent and smooth over my other processors.

Sous chef 16 pro is very simple to use and very good on what it does. I am happy

I’ve owned this food processor for several years. I use it very infrequently (maybe once every two months). I take extremely good care of it and wash it by hand after every use. However, just like other reviewers, a crack has developed at the base of the bowl near where the gear attaches to the motor. This is such a huge disappointment after investing a lot of money into this premium food processor and taking extremely good care of it. There is obviously a design flaw in this bowl given that so many people have experienced this problem. Breville, please fix this for us so we can enjoy your otherwise great product!

Quite, Powerful, Well-made, and never lets me down.

My husband bought this for me to replace an older one, and I absolutely despise it. I use it mainly to make homemade hummus on a regular basis, so just mushing up beans basically, and the bowl has cracked 4 times. There has to be some kind of design flaw causing this, and I strongly suggest against buying this for that reason. You will need to replace the bowl often, and it's been a huge pain to find one available/in stock, aside from the added expense. Just buy something else!

Got this as a gift from my husband to replace my old one. I usually use it to make hummus and just a handful of other things, however, the bowl cracks so easily and quickly! I've had it maybe 2 years, and I'm here looking for a replacement bowl for the 3rd or 4th time already. Ridiculous given the price of this thing, and the bowls are really hard to come by as well. No luck on another major site, sold out on breville, and no luck here either. So now I have no food processor.

The sleek and powerful food processor is a game-changer serious home chefs. With 1200 watt motor, large capacity bowls, and a variety of discs for different tasks, this machine is kitchen essential. Easy to clean and store, it's top choice for any cook.

Had a unit for a short time and already had issues with plastic part breakage. Super disappointing for a premium price. Expect to have order many plastic parts if you purchase or own one. Great chopping and processing otherwise. Also the french fry cutter mini blades are not connected to the lower plate insert and bend out of place making this blade useless after first uses too. Disappointing for such a great power unit too.

The Breville sous chef 16 pro is awesome thus far. Seems more industrial than a regular kitchen food processor, which is good. I ordered the dicing and peeling compatibility kit as well as the dicing kit. There are quite a few components, so make sure you read dimensions, if storage is an issue. But everything comes in its own storage container, which is very convenient.

Comes with more attachments than I ever considered needing. Extremely strong motor and will process anything you need. Highly recommend and Breville’s customer service is excellent as well!

I do love Breville. I have their Toaster Oven, Pressure cooker, espresso machine, tea kettle and food processor. Every time I have had issues, they usually work to solve it, even if I have to pay a bit. I use my food processor probably every other day. I agree with others that there are some nasty areas that can't be cleaned. I have NEVER placed any part in the dishwasher. I've had it for about 3.5 yrs. And I am here to look for a replacement mixing bowl. It's chipped and cracked. Like others, it does seem regrettable after a short time and treating it like a baby.

I really wanted to enjoy this food processor as I have many other breville products that I enjoy (tea maker, bambino, Juice fountain pro), but other than the motor I really don't think it is worth the price. When I first bought it we used it around 30 times, processing vegetables and fruit for canning before it developed a small crack in the large processing bowl around the spindle. I ordered a new one and we moved so we didnt use it for quite a while and we recently picked up a ninja creami and have been using the processor to blend dairy products and fruits before freezing. Again, after about 20 uses another crack developed in the large bowl in the same spot. I have seen other reviews on here reporting this same issue. And yes you can expect to replace parts in a product over a span of five years, but with a product breaking in the same place with limited uses and with inflation now doubling the cost of the bowl replacement, it seems a bit less viable. Things I like about it: -it is powerful -the base is really well made -lots of options for processing foods with the included attachments Things I dont like: -bowl design flaw -not dishwasher safe -the smaller inner bowl is kind of a pain as it always ends up making a mess in the large bowl as well If the bowl had only broke once with regular use I would give it a 3.5-4 star review, but having to replace the same part multiple times with the price doubling in 3 years, makes it a bit less sustainable.

I've had this machine for a few years, and use it rarely, less often than once a month. And yet the bowl has developed several cracks around the spindle and leaks water. It's really a shame, because the machine has so many great features---the adjustable size slicing disk is great. But as others have noted in the reviews, it appears that Breville expects us to buy a new bowl every couple years. I didn't realize, when I bought it, that the bowl was a short lived consumable part. What a disappointment!

Purchased this when I found that I could no longer purchase a needed part for an old Cuisart. It was easy to assemble and the parts are much easier to put in place. The bowl is generous. I appreciate the strong motor and how easy it is to put things together.

Purchased the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro. Haven't used it much so far but noticed the bowl has a crack at the insertion point of the drive gear. The crack causes the unit to leak and I am afraid it will only get worse with time. This is obviously a manufacturing defect. Very disappointed with this expensive appliance. I do not recommend this device until Breville comes up with a better design.

What I like best, perfectly grinding my own meat and chicken. No little bits of bone or cartilage as in commercially packaged product while controlling fat content. Hint, freeze meat chunks 10 minutes before processing.

I have multiple problems with this machine. I was so excited to get it, but the bottom of the bowl cracked so easily and the handle has a design flaw such that water gets in when washing it and it's moldy now. This was a very expensive machine to have these many issues so soon.
