The Breville boasts a 1,000-watt motor, the most powerful of those tested, and comes with some well-thought-out accessories.

And when it came to our tests ⁠- chopping and slicing veggies, shredding cheese and making salsa, pesto and mayonnaise ⁠- it, along with the Cuisinart, made mincemeat of the competition, with uniform results in our tests.

With its sleek, silver stainless-steel base and black feed chute parts, it looks ultra-modern on the countertop. If you’re looking for a food processor that does a great job and should last decades, this is it.īest food processor runner-up: Breville Sous Chef 12 12-Cup Food Processor ($299.95, originally $449.95 )

(Though here, we must add, an earlier version of this model we received as a wedding gift 21 years ago still works wonderfully with no replacement parts needed).

And while the warranty is good ⁠- a full five years on the motor and limited three years on the entire unit ⁠- the Breville offers a 10-year motor warranty. Of course, it’s not perfect: We preferred the Breville’s adjustable slicing disc for paper thin to thick cuts and we wish Cuisinart included a mini work bowl for smaller jobs.

But the smaller tube allows you to keep long, thin veggies, like carrots or celery, straight as they go through, which maintains a uniform slice.Īll the parts on the Cuisinart Classic are dishwasher-safe (and the manual recommends dishwasher cleaning) and they fit into the bowl for easier storage, making cleaning up and putting everything away a breeze. The Cuisinart also comes with large and small feed tubes and pushers, which helps to process different size foods.The wide tube, at 4 1/2 inches, is important for larger items, such as whole bricks of cheese, onions or potatoes - meaning you won’t have to spend time pre-chopping before sending them through the chute. The machine doesn’t come with a separate dough blade, as many of its competitors did, but we used the chopping S-blade to make the fastest and best pizza dough of the bunch nonetheless.Īnother thing that set the Cuisinart Classic apart was the rear placement of the food chute we liked this better than the front placement common to the other models we tested, since it makes it much easier to see what is going on inside without having to peer around the chute. The recipes we tested came together quickly and beautifully with the touch of just two wide paddle buttons (on and off/pulse). The 14-cup bowl was the largest capacity of any model we tested, allowing you to make extra-large batches of sauces, soups, and more. Yes, it’s a sturdy 18 1/2-pounds, but it chops, minces, slices and shreds with precision and speed. We especially appreciated the powerful 750-watt motor and a brushed stainless steel base, which doesn’t budge no matter how much you put it to work.

The Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor is basic in design and doesn’t include a ton of accessories (it comes with a stainless steel 4mm slicing disc, shredding disc and chopping S-blade, plus a recipe book and spatula) ⁠but it outperformed the other machines we tested by leaps and bounds. Lots of bells and whistles can be fun, but when it comes to testing food processors, high quality, simple craftsmanship and a tried-and-true design win out in the end.
