Food Processors

A true Pro

Advantages: a good size but easy to store
Disadvantages: not all accessories avaible in Uk

I have had my kenwood FP580 for a couple of months now and I love it. I only have a small kitchen and it sits in a very small corner - which means it is accessible at all times. It comes with many accessories including a dough tool, 3 cutting discs, whisk and blender. The 3 cutting discs store away safely in a disc holder. The main base has inerchangeable bowls and the blender. These are very easy to swap, although initially are quite stiff to ...
...would not be without my Kenwood Food processor, it certainly makes my life easier, from making cakes, soups, to cutting veg and making bread. It has all the accessries and more, and unlike some of the other models , the upright design with interchangeable bowl/blender enables easy storage and is perfect for those with limited space in their kitchen. ...

Magimix 4200 - food processor

Advantages: Use it for everything in the kitchen
Disadvantages: You need extra space to store blade box

...for your money? The Magimix 4200 comes in a large box with a handle, so easy to carry around if you are shopping (although a bit heavy so buy it at the end of your trip). The product comprises of 2 parts: - the main food processor - a separate plastic storage box for all the components. The magimix has 3 bowls - mini, midi and a main bowl. The mini bowl is a small bowl which can be used for things such as chop garlic, to make a salsa verde or ...
...As part of the magimix you receive a number of different blades: - 2 metal blades (one large and one small) - Egg Whisk - Grating Disc - Slicing Disc - Juicer (for lemons, limes and oranges) Also provided is a spatula to easily get the food out of the bowls. I have used each of these blades. The grating blade gives uniformed sized grated carrot, apple and cabbage - great for coleslaw. The other blades also do what they say and I especially ...

Review of Magimix CS 4200 XL /18404 Cream

A FOOD PROCESSOR THAT REALLY MEANS BUSINESS

Advantages: Great for anyone who's serious about cooking
Disadvantages: Mixing bowls really need washing by hand

...spatula. The people at Dualit really have thought of everything! The whole item is very simple to use and produces great results every time. The unit is of a simple, user friendly design with one large dial which can switch between on (one speed) and pulse. The main body is chrome looking plastic (not too tacky), complete with black underside and black suckered feet. The large clear plastic bowl is also trimmed with black. It comes complete with ...
...cookbook. The only reservation I have is about the mixing bowls. They can go in the top rack of the dishwasher but only at 40 degrees or lower and must be removed prior to the drying cycle. Therefore, I think it's easier to wash them up by hand as soon as you've finished with them. All in all though I'm very pleased and it has given me the inspiration to try out new ideas and recipes. ...

Review of Dualit 88610

AVOID

Advantages: Single base unit for liquidiser and processor
Disadvantages: Complicated, too many extras. No support from Kenwood

I was pleased that Kenwood brought out the innovation of one base unit for liquidser and food processor, saves on space. What a disappointment.... The Kenstore facility gives the impression it stores the accesories, it only stores less than 1/3 of these! Something wrong with their trade description there, is this illegal? It comes with a juicer, citrus press grinding mill, most of which I would not use. These extra bits really do load up the extra ...
...people's needs. The finale...contacted Kenwood support helpline. They close 12.30 on Fridays until Monday morning. So then sent e mail which was ignored. Did eventually get to speak to human who said she would get back to me, never did. So finally e mailed chief executive and customer support again...10 days ago and no response. Just had full refund from shop. Kenwood don't appear to care about their reputation, or their customers any longer. ...

Review of Kenwood FP 920 Multipro

Made from cheap plastic, breaks easily

Advantages: Lots of accessories
Disadvantages: Not at all durable

...I had a Kenwood Food Processor for 20 years, it was a regular workhorse and provided me with fantastic results, so when it was time to get a new one in August 2008, I automatically went for a Kenwood again, and chose this model as it had a large capacity and lots of attachments. I bitterly regret it now. The reason why is not because of the processing ability or speed, it is because the bowls and jugs are made out of some kind of flimsy plastic that ...
...previous Kenwood to last for years and years. I think there is a major design flaw in this product, or maybe a ploy by the manufacturers to make us buy replacement bowls and jugs (which are not cheap by the way). I would not recommend this product. Avoid. ...
