Why an adjustable disc matters
A standard food processor slices with a fixed disc: every slice comes out the same thickness, and the only way to change it is to buy another disc. An adjustable disc has a dial or lever that moves the blade, so the same disc cuts thin cucumber for a salad and thicker potato for roasting. If you mostly chop, puree and make dips, you will rarely use it. If you slice vegetables or fruit several times a week, it saves buying extra discs.
All five machines here also come with a dough blade and a shredding disc, so the main differences are bowl size, how fine the slicing control is, and what else is in the box.
How to pick between these
- If you want adjustable slicing under $200 → the Hamilton Beach Professional (70815). It is the one model under $200 in our finder with an adjustable disc, and it adds spiral and ribbon blades.
- If you cook for one or two and want the finest control → the Breville the Sous Chef 9 (BFP610), with a 15-level slicer on a 9-cup bowl.
- If you dice a lot → the Paradice 9 (BFP638) for a 9-cup bowl or the Paradice 16 (BFP838) for a 16-cup bowl; both add a dicing kit.
- If you cook for a crowd → one of the 16-cup Brevilles: the Sous Chef 16 (BFP810) adds a mini bowl, the Paradice 16 (BFP838) adds dicing disks.
- If dishwasher cleanup is a must → the Hamilton Beach 70815, where Hamilton Beach states the blades, bowl and lid are dishwasher safe. Breville doesn't state that the blades are dishwasher safe.
Things to check before you buy
- Feed chute width. Breville states 4.7 in on the 9-cup models and 5.5 in on the 16-cup models; Hamilton Beach states a 3 in round chute on the 70815. A wider chute takes whole potatoes and onions with less cutting first.
- Storage. The Paradice 16 comes with separate storage boxes for its attachments and its dicing kit, per Breville. Make sure you have the cupboard space for them.
- Finish. Breville sells most of these in several finishes. When we checked, the Sous Chef 16 in Brushed Stainless Steel was sold out on Breville's store while two other finishes were in stock.
- Price. These are the most expensive food processors in our finder. We use the price on the maker's own store, which can change.
