Highlights of the Breville BFP800BSXL

The Breville BFP800BSXL has a black sesame colored base that looks great on the kitchen counter. Its metal base has a solid die-cast construction. This appliance has several extras you won’t get with just any food processor, as we explain in our Breville BFP800BSXL Sous Chef Food Processor review

The overall look of the BFP800BSXL Sous Chef is modern, with touch buttons. Its three speeds are Start/Pause, Pulse, and Power Off. It runs on a 1200-watt Induction Motor that has a 25-year warranty. The machines measures 17.8 inches high by 8 inches wide by 10.2 inches deep and weighs about 20 pounds.

The top 3 features are:

• Powerful Motor
• Wide Feed Tube
• Lots of Blades and Discs

This food processor comes with two BPA-free work bowls – a 16 cup and a 2.5 cup. The bigger bowl holds up to 16 cups of dry goods or 12 cups of liquid. Many blades and discs are also included.

Pros and Cons: Breville BFP800BSXL Sous Chef Food Processor Review

The Sous Chef is easy to use, looks great, and is fairly quiet. The machine’s wide feed tube of 5.5 inches enables you to cut, shred, and slice goods without having to cut them down as much as with a smaller tube on other top 10 best food processors, such as the Ninja CT682SP.

As for how well it works, the Breville BFP800BSXL chops and minces everything evenly within very little time (just a few seconds) because of its induction motor. The special induction process makes for an efficient machine. Also, there are many blades from which to choose, and they work reliably. They are long-lasting stainless steel blades. You get several of them with it: Adjustable slicing disc, reversible shredding disc, mini blade, julienne disc, micro-serrated S blade, French fry cutting disc, whisking disc, disc spindle, and dough blade.

Plus, it’s a cinch to switch between blades. Just take it out and put another in, unlike with some other top 10 best food processors in which you have to take apart stems from the blades and set them down on the counter before swapping in the new one. Other benefits to note in this Breville BFP800BSXL Sous Chef Food Processor review is an easy-to-clean die-cast metal base and a safety locking system so the machine won’t move at all once it’s in use.

This Breville BFP800BSXL Sous Chef Food Processor review would not be complete without including the drawbacks too. For example, its weight of 20 pounds is heavier than some other models, such as the KitchenAid KFP0722CU (about 8 pounds). Also, while the disc spindle and blades are easy to replace, they can overheat with use and so be careful of touching them due to the risk of burn. To counteract this potential issue, let the appliance cool down a few minutes before attempting to touch these tools. Some users have also found that the retractable cord on the machine has gotten jammed a few times.

Lastly, the price may not be within everyone’s budget. It is more than some other top 10 best food processors but, then again, it provides more options and extras then you’ll get with some others, such as the storage box and French fry disc, and it is has a quality design.
