Terrible Workbowl Quality
After doing lots of research I purchased the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro to replace my Cuisinart DLCX-Pro after I could no longer get replacement parts for it. The overall quality and performance of the machine is good. The quality and durability of the large workbowl is terrible. The original bowl that came with the machine developed a large crack at the spindle where the blades attach. The bowl leaked when any liquid was used. I replaced the bowl (at my expense) and it also has now developed a crack in the same place, and leaks even more than the original bowl did. I've seen another review that addresses the same problem. Breville obviously has a big problem with a key part of this food processor. Buyer beware!!!

Too many components to clean for a small blend task
After 12 months of use i have found my motor is good and powerful, my bowl has so far held up to mild use but and its a big but, it takes way too much washing up for a simple blend task:
For example to use the little bowl you need the big bowl (1), the little bowl (2), the little pusher (3), the little pusher lid (4), the big pusher (5), the bowl lid (6) and the blade (7).
Thats 7 pieces to wash! you don't need the little pusher lid but if you separate the lid from the little pusher it will only get lost or thrown out sooner or later as it looks like any old plastic cap.
By the time I am done blending up fruit or vegies, my entire sink washing basket then gets taken up by all the components of 1 simple blend
I like Breville as a brand and their products but Breville really need to rethink their design and allow the little bowl to be used on its own as well as redesign the bowl lid components. For a tool that is designed to save time in the kitchen, the cleaning volume more than makes up for any time saved and then some.

the Breville Sous Chef® 16 Pro
I am really enjoying using this product. It's my first food processor and so easy to learn to use. The blades are very sharp as I found out. Ouch. But all's good. I use it several times a week and it's easy to clean up as well.

Quality and Flexibility
I own several Breville products and love the engineering that goes into these products. I love the flexibility of this product - it will replace three other tools in my cabinet.

Love this processor
I bought this to replace my old processor. There is so much to love. It works quickly and efficiently. It’s easy to clean. It has every attachment I might use. Very happy I made the decision to purchase.

Powerful machine
This thing is a powerhouse. It is so fast and my nut butters come out creamier than I’ve ever gotten them with my old food processor. It is also super easy to clean. My old one had tons of tiny crevices that were impossible to get into, but the breville is designed well to avoid that issue. I love this thing.

"Pro" Isn't just a Marketing Word for This High-grade Food Processor
The Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro delivers a higher level of precision and consistent quality than any other consumer-grade food processor I have ever used. It's bigger and heavier, too -- but I think that the weight adds to it's precision. Its smooth edges enable easy cleaning. And the mini-bowl is great, too -- perfect for making, say, a small quantity of mayo. Pro tip: the precision of the unit requires every one of its elements to remain in excellent condition. If any one element becomes cracked or off kilter, everything will still work -- but not as well and eventually, it will cause bigger problems. Don't ignore when this happens.
