Paradice™ 16

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.

I have a Vitamix (much older model) and a Breville 16 cups. No doubt that the Vitamix is an absolute workhorse and worth it. Check again to make sure that the package do include the food processor attachment. Otherwise, it is a significant additional cost.

I absolutely love my Breville, lots of attachments, but it is most definitely not under $200. $350-$700, but it should last forever.

Personally I’d grab a used Cuisinart, Magimix or Breville off marketplace if you want anywhere near the lifespan of your JC Penny model. If you’re patient deals can be had.

Breville is Australian ofc and makes a top notch food processor (much better than Cuisinart), although it’d probably stretch your budget. Food processors are something you should do right or not at all though.
