What reviewers liked
- Bon Appétit rates it the most user-friendly processor they've tested
- 16-cup bowl and strong motor handle dense doughs and large batches per multiple verified reviewers
- Precision slicing disc system praised at both Target and Amazon
- High 4.7 Amazon average with consistent positive YouTube long-term reviews
Where it falls short
- r/Cooking notes the BFP810 drops the peeler disc included with the older Peel & Dice model
- At ~$500, significantly more expensive than equally capable competitors
- Large footprint takes meaningful counter or cabinet space
- Amazon review count is still small (~136), so long-term reliability data is thinner than for Cuisinart
Across the reviewers we read, the Breville Sous Chef 16 is the consensus 'spend more, get more' pick. Bon Appétit describes it as 'the most user-friendly food processor we've tried,' combining premium performance with an intuitive design. Verified-purchase reviewers at Target echo that with notes like 'the power is unbelievable. It glides through dense doughs, tough veggies, and big batches without even a hiccup.' Amazon's smaller but enthusiastic review base sits at 4.7 stars.
The most credible criticism comes from an r/Cooking thread pointing out that the current BFP810 model omits two discs compared to the older Peel & Dice variant — most notably the peeler disc. Buyers expecting the full attachment set from older Breville reviews should double-check what's in the box. At roughly $500 it is also clearly priced above what most home cooks need.
Reviewer consensus: if you cook in large batches, knead dough often, or simply value precision slicing and a sturdier build, the Sous Chef is the upgrade. If you mostly chop onions and make hummus, you are paying for headroom you won't use.
