Best Food Processor You Can Buy
on July 31, 2021
Posted by: A.G.
from Toronto, ON
I usually go through a mountain of research before purchasing expensive kitchen equipment and it was time to get into the food processors again after my 15+ year old Cuisinart Custom was finally put to rest last month.
Cuisinart is still at the top of most recommended lists but Breville has been making appearance as top recommendation lately as well. It is typically the cheaper 12-cup model that gets the nod and I did look at that one initially but, given the amount of big batch cooking I do and the dicing option, it is the larger 16-cup model that caught my attention.
So far, I am very happy with my purchase decision. The design/engineering and attention to detail are exceptional! Easy locking mechanisms, minimized waste, reversible big/small shredding disc, clever dicing disc assembly, convenient accessory box, sleek design... everything feels like an upgrade from the much touted Cuisinart.
This machine can save you hours when cooking large batches of food! Cleaning is easy -- wash parts with warm soapy water and put them on a dish rack to dry. Contrary to what some reviews say, it takes very little time/effort to clean.
Thanks to big chute, you can process larger items without having to cut them. Food is sliced, diced and cut uniformly and very little (if at all) gets wasted in the process.
Potato peeler does a decent job but is not perfect. Unless I have a huge number of them to peel, I prefer to do it manually.
It is disappointing that the dicing kit only comes with one 12-mm disc. There's an optional ($179.95) Dicing Kit but, as of now, it is sold out everywhere. For the price, I feel those two discs should have been included.
Another thing that has me worried a little is the number of customers who say they have to wait months for parts replacements. If you visit Breville's own website, you'll see that most Food processor models and accessory kits are "Sold out". They need to get their supply chain in order.
While the motor comes with 25 year warranty, everything else is warranted for just 1 year, which is pathetic. Look to Vitamix's 7-year warranties for an example of a company that stands behind its products.
Overall, I am happy and feel it is a good investment that will hopefully last me at least as long as my old Cuisinart. Some things could definitely be improved but it is a solid 4 stars.
