overall good

Overall the Breville Sous Chef 12 does a good job slicing and shredding, my issue is with mixing, it does not do a good job, hummus for instance, it took a very long time and it was done in batches. I don't feel like the machine could handle mixing a batter. I tried to make mayonnaise, and it just wouldn't go fast enough to emulsify. Perhaps something is wrong with the motor?

Okay, but parts are flimsy

I splurged on this for my husband's birthday a couple of years ago because I wanted him to have a really nice food processor. I like the power of this food processor, but there are unfortunately several draw backs. The top of our bowl broke almost immediately, I think we had used it twice. He actually glued it together because he had a hard time going to purchase a new top so quickly. Recently the large food pusher has also broken and won't stay together. It's a disappointment with such an expensive product. The other draw back is cleaning, there are a lot of nook's and crannies and parts to take apart and hand wash. We find ourselves avoiding using it sometimes if the cleaning process is going to take longer than the time saved. Unfortunately I can't recommend this because it doesn't seem sturdy enough for the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Recently the pusher didn’t stop and it was sliced off into the bowl and damaged the blade.

Simply put, the best food processor we have ever owned and that includes Cuisinart, Kitchenaid and Robot Coupe. I do urge new owners to take some time to learn how to use the Breville food processor and do take care to hand wash the parts after using.
The unit has performed flawlessly, is sturdy, relatively easy to clean ... pretty much covers most preparations for two person household without a hitch.
Bought this, used it less than 10 times. motor broke, got a replacement. Broke again after 2 uses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Should last longer for the price
on January 12, 2024
Posted by: Claire
I've had this food processor for 4 years, and it has worked rather well. We've taken good care of it, hand-washing the plastic. Today a piece of plastic broke off the bottom of the bowl - a piece of the guide that locks the bowl in place for use. As I read other reviews, I see that this piece breaking is pretty common. It's really a shame, for the high price of this product, and after I followed good online reviews of it, I had thought it would last longer.
