Web ID: 7058617Best Processor I’ve Ever Owned, Even if the Paint is Falling Off the Base
I’m keeping this machine because it is beautifully designed and constructed, and does a great job. Removing and replacing the bowl has caused the paint to chip off the die cast base, revealing a white powder on the surface of the metal. I’m hoping this white powder is not toxic. I just try to keep it from getting into the food. I called Breville, and they stated that the problem was “only cosmetic,” and would therefore would not repair it, even though I offered to pay. I am therefore relying on Breville’s assertion that the machine is safe to use with food.

Best food processor ever. PERIOD.
Let me preface this by saying that I suffer from Mobility challenges so nearly everything I do, kitchen or otherwise, can sometimes be difficult without modifications/ adaptation. However, this food processor is completely different . The instructions are very straightforward and self-explanatory, and the Appliance itself is extraordinarily easy to Assemble, use, take apart, clean and store. Now mind you, this is a professional grade unit; the blades are extremely Sharp (as they should be! ) and thus require care and caution to avoid injury; cleaning is the one area that I do request help from my better half (although it should be noted that this is not due to any fault on breville's behalf yet my own horrible coordination skills LOL) . I am novice in the kitchen at best; however, I have had endless fun with this unit and have gotten to try a ton of new recipes and types of dishes, simply because I am actually able to use it safely thus increasing my self-confidence and the likelihood that I actually use it. It's a staple in my house and is used daily..I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get told that I have to learn how to clean it myself soon because I use it so much. I have read the book cover to cover and still learn something new I can do with it every time I take it out. I love looking up recipes and going through breville's site to find more tutorials and ideas. I can't wait to learning and trying new things. Fantastic job Breville; I commend you for making something professional grade and multifunctional that is not only easy to use but also safe for people like myself. I can't wait to save up my pennies so that I can try more of your products.. I definitely volunteer to be your go-to girl for any accessibility testing❤️🙂

I love the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro. Chopping, slicing, and shredding is lightning fast!

my second one, mainly wonderful
I bought this to replace my 12 year old model, which was working perfectly except the the plastic clips holding the goblet onto the motor had broken, preventing the goblet from being held in the correct place for the machine to work. I would give a 5 star if Breville had corrected this weakness, maybe making metal clips instead of plastic.

cleaning problems
following all written directions for soaking and washing, the processor CAN NOT be cleaned properly. the handle and gasket around the bowl cover are filled with flour and food residue. Do you have additional suggestions?

Built like a Breville
I was worried that the 16 pro would not have enough capacity. I was wrong. The shape of the bowl makes mixing more thorough. Plenty of power. I have other Breville products and they just keep going and going and going! My only critique is that the accessories storage box is like a small unwieldy suitcase. I have no room in my kitchen for it so it lives in storage. Other than that, it's really great machine.
