Breville - Sous Chef 9

Breville Sous chef has been amazing for us

Most 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.

Second 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.

I like my Breville sous chef

I'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.

I have a Breville Sous Chef, but their newer models look even better. I absolutely love the adjustable slicing blade on my Breville. Most food processors don’t let you adjust thickness. It also has a French fry disk and the shredding disk is awesome for grating frozen butter for things like biscuits and other pastry doughs. The Magimix also looks great for bread specifically: https://www.seriouseats.com/best-food-processor-equipment-review?utm_source=googlepaid&utm_medium=con&utm_content=CjwKCAjw7pO_BhAlEiwA4pMQvD4-GBIyPNWkNi2MkPzipbu2DH9pSX3zkWjWs1J67BYcdrvTwokBxRoCmQYQAvD_BwE&utm_campaign=commerce-dd-FoodProcessorEquipmentReview_SeriousEats_Combined_CommSEM_OrganicLP-5121915&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACeazfC7FOgcpXKpLqQWsXHcwx3M0&gclid=CjwKCAjw7pO_BhAlEiwA4pMQvD4-GBIyPNWkNi2MkPzipbu2DH9pSX3zkWjWs1J67BYcdrvTwokBxRoCmQYQAvD_BwE#toc-the-winners-at-a-glance

I like my Breville sous chef. But it’s a lot to bring out for small jobs.

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.

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