What this page compares
True cubes come from both models, but batch size and dicing range differ sharply between them.
This one comes down to main bowl and dicing sizes first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Day to day
How each one fits your routine
A small second preparation can count as much as the main bowl
A mini bowl comes with Paradice 16, which gives a cook a separate vessel for a suitable small preparation next to the work planned in the main bowl. Paradice 9 has a single nine-cup work bowl. The sixteen-cup package is the choice when a large chopped preparation and a smaller dressing or garnish regularly share a session. Read the mini-bowl instructions and do not assume that having it allows every tiny quantity.
Where this comes from
The exact packages differ in having one main bowl versus a main bowl plus an included mini bowl. This conclusion is about which tools are available. It makes no unsupported claim about a minimum batch size and does not promise that a nested bowl leaves all the other parts clean.
A larger collection of tools has to be stored outside the working bowl
Paradice 9 gathers its accessories in an in-bowl caddy, which suits a kitchen where unpacking the bowl before every session is no trouble. The larger collection with Paradice 16 takes two storage boxes and adds three dicing sizes. Go for the larger set only if those tools earn their shelf space. A cook who uses one half-inch cut may find the smaller package fits the routine with fewer dedicated storage locations.
Where this comes from
The documented packages differ in how they store things and in which dicing sizes they offer. This does not work out total cupboard volume or say which one is easier to carry, because loaded weights and storage-box dimensions are not established here.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Breville Paradice 9 Food Processor | Breville Paradice 16 Food Processor | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main bowl | Nine cups | 16 cups | For main bowl, this sets how often you stop to refill, empty or start another batch. |
| Dicing sizes | One half-inch grid | 8, 12 and 16 mm grids | Consider this a firm ceiling on the size or amount that fits in a single run. Shape can count as much as the headline number does. |
| Small bowl | None | Included mini bowl | For small bowl, this sets how often you stop to refill, empty or start another batch. |
| Accessory storage | In-bowl caddy | Two storage boxes | It changes how easy it is to put away between uses. |
