I bought this a month ago and this is fantastic! Diced 70 pounds of potatoes in about 20 minutes! Quite a timesaver!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A year in and still in love.

I got my Paradice 16 in the fall of 2024 just before Thanksgiving in the US. I immediately put it to use. While I definitely do not take full advantage of everything it can do, my favorite thing is how easy it makes southern biscuits. 1 minute. That’s all it takes! My precious food processor was excessively loud and I had to send the dog outside or else she’d go nuts. I can use this one while everyone is sleeping and no one notices! Love love love my Breville Paradice 16!

I purchased the unit and it is very very nice. The only thing I wanna get now is the Julianne portion of it. Other than that it has got almost everything that is other than the stove or oven.

Expensive flop

Poor design causes food to bunch up between the blades until the lid pops off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is there anything this machine can’t do? It slices, it actually dices, it makes French fries and more. Wow. This Paradice 16 is so well made it *almost* takes the fun out of using it because it’s so fast! I mean you can tear down an entire 20lb watermelon in under a minute. The performance and engineering is astounding and I am very proud to own this machine. I have used Breville for the last two decades successfully - especially their smart ovens.
The two large boxes of accessories may seem a little daunting at first, but I’d recommend just prepping a bunch of food for several days experimenting with all of them. There is nothing else like this.
Love the new stainless steel finish, the large capacity, the easy to read lines, the extra bowl, and the dicing feature is truly a marvel to behold. I keep the attachments OUT, on the bottom shelf of a stainless steel table I keep in the kitchen for instant access. The color coding it makes it super user friendly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Paradice™ 16: Missing Grating Disc After Years of Requests
on January 22, 2025
Posted by: Bytheway
As someone who has been using several Breville appliances, including their food processor, I had high expectations for the Paradice™ 16. Unfortunately, it falls short in one key area: the lack of a grating disc for grating vegetables and cheese. This is a feature that has been requested by many users for years, but it’s still missing in this model.
Without the grating disc, I’m left doing a lot of extra manual work, which really detracts from the convenience that a food processor is supposed to offer. While the Paradice™ 16 performs well in other areas, this omission is a significant oversight, especially for anyone who needs to shred or grate regularly.
Given my positive experiences with Breville products in the past, I’m disappointed that this issue hasn’t been addressed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your comments. The BFP838 does come with a shredder disc, as have many of our older model processors. The shredder disc can be used on both cheese and vegetables. But your comments regarding a grating disc will be passed along your feedback to the appropriate people, as we are continuously trying to improve our customer's experience.
