What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Breville the Sous Chef 16 Food Processor
Two whitelisted hands-on testers — Good Housekeeping and Wirecutter (which names it an upgrade pick) — rate the Breville Sous Chef 16 (BFP810) a powerful, precise, accessory-rich premium processor. Good Housekeeping scored it 5/5 across every task; Wirecutter measured it at 90 decibels and produced consistent 1 mm potato slices. Both flag its weight and bulk; Wirecutter adds that at twice its top pick's price it's more machine than most people need. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful, fast motor — dices onions, almonds and tomatoes effortlessly and kneads dough without wobbling; Precise, even slicing from the adjustable slicing disk; Large range of accessories plus a storage case, giving strong versatility.
Flagged: Heavy and bulky with a large countertop footprint that needs dedicated space; Expensive premium unit — far more machine than most people need; Short two-year limited warranty for the price (induction motor covered separately for 30 years).
