What this page compares
The included dicing system is what sets Breville’s two nine-cup processors apart.
This one comes down to dicing and storage first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Day to day
How each one fits your routine
Dicing pays off when your menu keeps calling for cubes
The half-inch dicing kit on Paradice 9 helps a cook who prepares cubed vegetables over and over for salads or meal prep. Sous Chef 9 already supplies the same fifteen-position slicing approach, so ordinary slices alone do not justify the dicing package. Paradice is the choice when that shape is a recurring need. Sous Chef is still sensible when chopping, slicing and shredding cover your week, and a compatible dicing kit can be an optional later purchase.
Where this comes from
Each has a nine-cup main bowl and fifteen slicing settings. What decides it is the dicing kit that comes with Paradice, and not extra main-bowl room or any evidence of faster ordinary slicing.
Factor the cleaning cap into what you are buying
After dicing, food is left caught around an extra grid that has to be cleaned by the prescribed procedure. Paradice 9 comes with a cleaning cap in its kit, so keep it within reach and do not treat it as spare packaging. Take the dicing set if using and cleaning that mechanism beats making cubes by hand. Sous Chef 9 leaves those extra dicing parts out of its standard package.
Where this comes from
On Paradice 9, Breville supplies a dedicated dicing kit and a cleaning cap. The conclusion is about that extra mechanism and its tool. It claims no specific cleaning time and does not say other processor parts need less care.
