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).
KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit
Only one whitelisted hands-on review survived verification: TechRadar, which tested the KFP1319 - the exact trim that adds the dicing accessory and storage lid to the 13-cup base. It praised the twist-free one-click bowl, hinged locking lid, in-bowl accessory storage, quiet-for-the-class running and even chopping/slicing/dicing, while flagging limited capacity for larger batches of dough and meat, some inconsistency (unevenly chopped almonds, minor shredding waste) and a handle fixed to the right that is awkward for left-handers. A Tom's Guide review was dropped because it tested the base KFP1318 without the dicing kit (a different trim). No RTINGS, Serious Eats or Wirecutter test found. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Twist-free one-click bowl and hinged locking lid make assembly fast and easy; Accessories store neatly in an in-bowl caddy, saving space; Relatively quiet operation for a food processor.
Flagged: Limited capacity for larger batches of dough and meat despite the large bowl; Some inconsistency: almonds chopped unevenly and a little shredding waste left un-shredded; Handle fixed to the right, awkward for left-handed users.
