I’ve tested more than a dozen food processors in my career, and the Breville Paradice 16 is both the biggest and most expensive product I’ve ever used. While its $700 price tag is enough to make anyone baulk, it’s practically a built-in sous chef thanks to its ability to slice, dice, chop, and shred ingredients. And with a name like 'Paradice,' Breville promise to turn tiresome meal prep into, well, a slice of paradise.
Still, it’s hard to justify spending so much on a single appliance, even if it does come with two whole boxes worth of attachments. We wanted to see if this high-end model could compete with the best food processors we’ve tested (many of which are a fraction of the price). I’ve used it in my kitchen for several months now, and while I do love its powerful processing abilities, there are a few caveats I think you should know before you go all-in on this food processor.
