Decision guide
How to decide
Pick Core Custom 10 for an extra cup and familiar three-button operation. Sous Chef 9 is the better match once its fifteen slicing positions get regular use.
One extra cup does not change much
Core Custom offers a 10-cup bowl to Breville’s nine. For a familiar recipe that can mean useful headroom, yet it is a small step next to moving up to a full 13- or 16-cup system.
Look closely at the adjustment range
Slicing thickness is adjustable on both. Breville states 15 positions outright, which helps when you repeat the same cut for gratin or pickles. Do not assume the two discs have the same range.
Store the accessories in the machine itself
In-bowl organization comes with both designs, so neither has a storage edge. If shelf space is limited, compare the complete assembled dimensions rather than relying on the capacity label.
