For home cooks who demand consistent results from chopping to kneading, the Breville Sous Chef 12 handles it all. Its micro-serrated S-Blade delivers swift, even chopping for nuts, garlic, and vegetables, while the variable slicing disc offers 24 thickness settings from paper thin (0.3mm) to thick (8mm). Three feed chutes accommodate large and small ingredients, reducing prep time. The heavy-duty 1000-watt induction motor powers through tough jobs without stalling, and the safety braking system stops blades instantly if the lid opens.
The 12-cup (2.8L) bowl handles large batches. The variable slicing disc offers 24 settings (0.3–8mm). The S-Blade is micro-serrated for consistent chopping. Three feed chutes: 5-inch large, 2.75-inch mid, and 1.5-inch mini, preventing tipping. The motor operates at 1000 watts with direct drive control and overload protection. Safety brakes stop blades within 1 second of lid release. Dimensions: 11 x 9 x 16 inches, weight 14.5 lbs.
Competitors often have a single feed chute that forces you to cut ingredients to fit. Breville's three chutes (including a mini one for carrots) reduce pre-cutting. The variable slicing disc is unique—24 settings give you precise control for everything from wafer-thin cucumbers to thick potato slices. The induction motor is quieter and more powerful than standard motors, and the safety brake adds peace of mind.

The Breville Sous Chef 12 is built for the serious home cook who wants restaurant-quality prep. The 1000-watt induction motor drives the micro-serrated S-Blade through tough ingredients like nuts and cheese without skipping a beat.
No more cutting carrots into perfect cylinders. The 5-inch main chute handles whole vegetables, the 2.75-inch mid chute accepts larger cuts, and the 1.5-inch mini chute holds slender pieces stable. Prep goes faster with less pre-cutting.
The variable slicing disc is a game-changer. With 24 settings, you can dial in exactly the thickness you want for salads, gratins, or chips. The reversible shredding disc also lets you switch from coarse to fine grating instantly.
The safety braking system stops the blades in under 1 second if you open the lid, preventing accidents. The overload protection shuts down the motor before it overheats, extending its life.
Backed by a 2-year warranty, this is a food processor that will serve you for years.

This food processor is a workhorse. The 12-cup bowl is huge. Handles everything I throw at it. The motor is quiet too. Very pleased.
I used to chop everything by hand. This thing does it in seconds. The variable slicing disc is awesome - different thicknesses for different veggies. Cleanup isn't bad. Love it.
Solid build and powerful motor. Slices perfectly. The only thing is the bowl is big and takes up a lot of cabinet space. But that's expected for 12 cups. Works well.
This is my second Breville food processor, the first lasted 7 years. This one seems even better. The induction motor is noticeably smoother. Very happy with the purchase.
It does what it says. The motor is strong and the discs are easy to change. But for the price, I expected a slightly better build quality. The plastic lid feels a bit cheap compared to the base. Still functional though.
I was on the fence because of the cost, but after using it, i totally get it. It's fast, the parts fit perfectly, and the motor doesn't struggle even with hard cheeses. A great tool for serious cooks.
The processor itself is probably fine, but i can't say much because it took forever to get here. The box was also dented. Not the product's fault but the whole experience was annoying.
