This is a powerful food processor. We make hummus every week and our other food processor couldn’t break down the beans to the texture we were looking for. This does the job perfectly. It’s a bit quieter than I was expecting, too!
After 40 years of being a customer of another brand, I now realize I should have had a Breville food processor all along. My new machine is a wonderful workhorse and I'm just delighted to use it. Take about fast and precise. It's easy to use with the best results ever.
I bought this to replace a 15 year old Cuisinart. Still working perfectly, but I wanted a unit with a small chopping bowl and easier to clean. This suits my need perfectly. Very sleek.
I have had this for two years and it is a great piece of equipment. However very soon after I purchased it a piece of plastic chipped off of the bottom of the bowl and pieces continued to break off over time so now the bowl doesn’t lock into place. I’m frustrated because I’m having a hard time locating a replacement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This unit is to replace my very old Cuisinart; it is far sturdier, requires less parts since the slicing disc can be adjusted, runs quietly, easily cleaned and very good looking.
I am sooo happy I made this investment. The equipment isn't made with flimsy material like other brands. I thought it might be too large capacity for me and my husband, but I find it's just the right size (I also bought the smaller bowl that fits inside). I don't use it everyday, but at least 1x/week. The shredding disks do the job on cheese and vegetables, and I regulary make pie dough. Easy to clean (I handwash).
