Wish I'd bought it long ago. Such a clever design! I love the caddy, and the finger hole on the plug. Most of all the processor is so fast! I've been recommending it to family and friend's.
My elderly food processor gave up the ghost last week. I set out to find a good replacement. I have a Breville fast, slow multi cooker and it is amazing. All of my Breville appliances have been wonderful. So I chose the Breville sous chef nine food processor. It is unbelievable. It is very powerful yet. Occupies only a small footprint in my appliance cabinet. All of the mini accessories store in the main bowl in a single storage container. You can lift it out from the top. Remove and use whatever accessories you need and put them back in the precisely proper spot because the storage container has a little bins for all the accessories. It is a fantastic design and I’m so happy. I highly recommend this appliance.
As expensive as this processor is there has been a serious cost cutting effort which is dangerous. The extremely sharp s-blade should have a dedicated, one piece spindle, permanently attached to the blade. Every time it’s used it needs to be handled, taken apart to clean, reassembled, each time the risk of being sliced open is real. Disappointed this has never been taken seriously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just unboxed and it is super durable nice quality!! It looks like it fits a good amount of food too so that is a plus!! Will love this to meal prep and cut veggies for the week!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, it’s beautiful! The stainless steel is so sleek and heavy duty. It weights a few pounds, and you can tell it’s going to last your lifetime. Although not pictured, I did use it and the engine is very fast. It perfectly, and quickly chops up my veggies. Bonus points for the cord—I love that I can easily unplug the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Breville Sous Chef is a powerhouse in the kitchen, offering versatility and efficiency for all your food prep needs. With its array of attachments and powerful motor, it effortlessly tackles everything from slicing and dicing to shredding and kneading without compromising safety. The multiple speed settings and large feed chute make it convenient for handling various ingredients with ease. Cleaning it was a breeze. While it comes at a premium price, its performance and durability justify the investment for serious home cooks and culinary enthusiasts alike. And it’s absolutely gorgeous. I use this food processor for everything! I made my bunny homemade treats, delicious homemade salsa and then shredded cheese effortlessly for crockpot macaroni and cheese. My new favorite kitchen appliance!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this food processor for its versatility and how easy it is to clean. Overall my favorite feature is the caddy that can be stored inside the bowl and holds all of the attachments. Keeps everything nice and organized!
