Breville - Paradice™ 16

I’ve been liking our breville, and their customer support is top notch

yeah unfortunately all the bigger ones use plastic, probably as a cost saving thing too. The good thing is at least its a lot lighter. i got a bigger breville one and a medium sized kenwood one and i kind of don't like the plastic.

I’ve got one. I like it for slicing, grating, chopping, making dough, peanut butter, hummus, etc. But for dicing? I personally don’t like it. Way, way too hard to clean the dicing attachment compared to the ease of it. If you need to dice…. Idk. 10 pounds of something in one go, it would be nice, but otherwise I’d rather dice by hand. However, you may have different values on the cleaning vs. hand dicing situation. The thing is an absolute beast and I have no complaints about it. I’d buy it again if I had to in a heartbeat and even if you don’t end up using it for dicing, it still would likely get plenty of use.

I have the largest Breville food processor and it came with a slicing disk that lets me set the thickness. When I use it to make Coleslaw it can hold the entire cabbage so it’s much easier and quicker to use. It’s also super powerful and fast. Big improvement over the smaller cuisinart I had before.

After looking at cuisinart and vitamix, I personally have decided to get me a breville paradice 16.

Magimix or Breville make the best 14-16 cup models money can buy imo. You hear the Cuisinart Custom 14 recommended a ton as well and, while its still good, it’s a marked step down in just about every way, but it does tend to be a lot cheaper, so that’s a good option for bang for your buck.

The oft-recommended Cuisinarts are fine and pretty good value for money, but if you have the budget for it, a Magimix or Breville is *way* better.

Get a Magimix. Or a Sage (aka Breville). Both are huge upgrades from the Cuisinart tbh

I disagree. My breville does a fabulous job of veggie prep including dice. 10000% worth the splurge.

Yes I have the 16-cup paradice. It rules. It dices, chops, shreds, slices, and does so much more. The slicer is adjustable. It is a game changer. I use it all the time! Makes quick work of complex soups. Then just a quick rinse of the parts, put on drying rack, and done.

You won’t regret the Breville. I have the 16C paradice and adore it. You need tons of space for the 2 “armories” of attachments. I have a designated closet shelf.

the breville ones are nice. they’re just a bit too bulky.

My current processor is a Breville (>5 years) that replaced a Cuisinart that replaced a... Oster(?). The Breville and all its attachments work well, easy to clean (except the feed tube pusher), has *lots* of power. It's my favorite of the three.
