My old food processor was from another company and is old enough that it came with VHS tapes. It lived under the counter and really only came out around the holidays. I figured it would be similar with the Paradice, but that is NOT the case. The Paradice is beautiful, easy to use, so easy to clean, and has earned a permanent spot on TOP of the counter. Purchased for the dicing feature, it quickly showed that it was a major time saver using the other discs as well. The machine is very easy to use and all parts slide together so nicely. Maybe I'm gushing because it's such an upgrade from my previous processor, but I couldn't be more happy with the purchase. Oh, and the packaging it came in was top notch! Even though there was noticeable damage to the exterior shipping box, all of the contents inside were in perfect condition. The storage cases for the discs are clearly well thought out. I've been using the Paradice almost daily for the last month and I'm continually impressed with the design - especially the wall plug! Overall, this is an incredibly well designed processor that is more than worth its purchase price.
I very rarely write reviews. I am busy and don’t take the time, as a general rule, but this Breville Paradice has been such a wonderful machine that I just have to sing its praises! I live in Florida and have a flat grill on my back patio and have also recently purchased an extra large freeze dryer. Needless to say, I slice a lot of vegetables. I used to stand at the counter and process every vegetable by hand because using my old food processor took just about as long and didn’t produce the end product I was looking for. It always took at least an hour to get everything washed and sliced. Now, the longest job is washing and peeling. Running them through my Breville Paradice is a pleasure and it only takes a few seconds! It has amazed me and gone way beyond my expectations. I am so happy that I made this rather large purchase. It makes me smile every day and I feel smart every time I use it! One of the best purchases I’ve ever made!!!
I bought this for my husband as a gift for Christmas and it had been absolutely amazing! It makes quick work of just about any prep work and we’ve hardly put it through its paces. I can’t wait to see what sort of wonderful creations come out of it, but it’s already helped us to make one of the best ratatouilles that I have ever had.
In order to simplify my time in the kitchen, I did a tremendous amount of research on purchasing a food processor. We had an Oster Food Processor that was old and ugly. It was stored in a cabinet above the refrigerator and hardly ever brought down for use. My criteria for this purchase was that it had to be something worthy of taking up counter space in order for me to purchase one. I have been a loyal Breville customer and have my countertop filled with their appliances. They are truly a high end kitchen appliance. I'm so glad that I decided to go with their Paradice 16 as I wanted something capable of handling large jobs (making pasta dough, bread, large batches of chopped vegetables, etc.). I absolutely LOVE this machine. It looks so impressive on our countertop. My wife is OCD and doesn't like a lot on her countertops but she quickly made room for this one!!!!! You will not be disappointed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

When the food processor I loved died, I searched for a new one, researching and reading reviews. A year ago, I wanted the Breville, but ordered a competitor because it was cheaper and had good reviews.I hated it! It was overly complicated and extraordinarily difficult to clean. after a year, I couldn’t stand it. I ordered the Breville Paradice 16. Yes, it is more expensive, But oh my, iit worth it! Everything comes apart, making it so easy to clean. Everything goes together, simply without having to have everything exactly in the perfect position. The design seems to Be by someone who actually cooks and knows what people who cook want. It’s intuitive, well thought out, and sturdy. I would give it 100 stars if I were able. I hate the wasted year and the money wasted on a far inferior product. But, I am very grateful to have found exactly exactly what I was looking for!
I've had my new Paradice 16 for a couple of weeks now and I am throwing rocks at my old food processor! This thing is a work of art. The engineering that went into it is pretty amazing, including the storage containers for the various blades and dicing plates. It's even easy to clean. I really am happy with my purchase.
