Breville BFP810 Sous Chef 16 Review
The Breville BFP810 Sous Chef is a premium 16-cup food processor with a powerful motor, a wide adjustable slicing dial and an extra-wide feed tube. It is the pick for serious cooks who want capacity, precision and power, at a premium price.
Overview
The Sous Chef BFP810 is Breville’s flagship 16-cup processor, aimed at cooks who want capacity and control. Its standout feature is a wide adjustable slicing dial with many thickness settings, backed by a strong motor and an extra-wide feed tube.
What stands out
The adjustable slicing gives precise, even cuts from paper-thin to thick, which most processors cannot match. The 16-cup bowl and power handle the biggest prep and dough loads, and the build quality is a step above mainstream machines. It comes with a broad set of discs and blades.
Where it falls short
It is expensive, large and heavy, so storage is a real consideration. For occasional cooks, it is more machine and cost than needed.
Who it is for
Serious home cooks and large families who want precision slicing, big capacity and durability, and will use it often enough to justify the price.
