Breville Sous Chef 12: What to Know
Breville's U.S. product page for the BFP660 lists a micro-serrated S-blade, an adjustable slicing disc with 24 settings from 0.3mm to 8.0mm, a reversible shredding disc, and a dough blade as the included accessories, along with three separate feed chutes -- a 5-inch large chute, a 2 3/4-inch mid chute, and a 1 1/2-inch mini chute -- so the right-sized opening can be chosen instead of forcing every ingredient through one hole. Breville's page also describes a heavy-duty induction motor with overload protection and a braking system that stops the S-blade quickly if the lid is opened mid-cycle. Multiple Breville-authorized retailers (AJ Madison, Walmart) list this motor at 1000 watts and the bowl at 12-cup capacity, though Breville's own current BFP660 page does not restate the wattage or capacity figures directly, so those two numbers are retailer-reported rather than pulled verbatim from Breville's own spec text.
The 24-position slicing disc is the standout feature versus the rest of this list: instead of a single fixed thickness, it adjusts from paper-thin to thick cuts, which matters for anyone slicing the same vegetable for different dishes (thin for gratins, thick for roasting) without swapping discs.
The important caveat is that Breville's own BFP660 page displays a discontinuation notice. That does not make existing units unsafe or non-functional, but it does mean no new manufacturing runs are coming, and buyers should treat available stock -- whether on Amazon, at a specialty retailer, or secondhand -- as finite rather than an ongoing product line.
