CipherWeaver 1.0I have the sous chef and it's amazing. Bulky tho
PerfectLie2980 1.0I love my Breville 12 cup. It replaced my Cuisinart that I expected to last longer than 7 years. RobotCoupe is truly the best out there, but a little too rich for my blood.
SolsticeSolarium 1.0I'm hopefully getting my breville food processor delivered today and I can't wait to use it!
I got the 12 cup a few months ago and I have loved but I think I got one of the last models. I think they are not making any new sous chefs because I broke the lid on mine after a few weeks and I had to call customer support because all replacements were sold out everywhere but luckily they had one and were able to ship it out to me

Bibliovoria 0.3Most food processors will do slicing (with varying degrees of adjustability), and there are also food processors these days that dice. They're not cheap (for instance, the Breville Sous Chef starts at about $500 new), but they're effective and mostly effortless. Lack of a dishwasher would make clean-up harder, though. As with most forms of cutting up vegetables and such, you'd still need to remove any ends and bits you didn't want in the final product. I umpteenth recommendations for cut-proof gloves.
emmapeel415 0.3Second the Magimix. By far the best I've had, and I've owned a lot of them (they didn't last long). I never thought I was being terribly demanding; I just wanted one that was durable. I even went through a Breville sous chef in just a couple of years--parts kept breaking, motor strained, etc.
Hii-jorge 0.3I like my Breville sous chef
Opposite_Budget5117 0.3I've used a Breville Sous Chef food processor and a Vitamix 6200 blender to make nut butter. The Vitamix is a lot faster and produces smoother nut butter. So I guess it depends on the blender but I would say a powerful blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec is better than a food processor for making nut butter.
TheRealSeeThruHead 0.3I like my Breville sous chef. But it’s a lot to bring out for small jobs.
Ceezeecz 0.3I 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.
