Kenwood CH 700

Advantages: Makes juice
Disadvantages: Makes a mess

...Ok, so imagine Christmas morning. Your parent buys you a juicer to add a bit of weight to your stocking. This time she should have just put coal in or something. Im not a bad reviewer but this was not up to standard. What do you look for in a juicer? Lots of juice from very little fruit and very little mess. What did I get? Very little juice, loads of fruit and im still cleaning the kitchen (well not really, but it is messy) It does its job but I've definately seen better, I would recommend you go for something a little more expensive. The Kenwood Juicer is just not for me, maybe you will get on better with it but if I was you I would give this one a miss and look else where for a juicer. Sorry Kenwood but it just has not made the grade this time.... Read review

Advantages: Small easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: Not idela for Large Dinner party catering, etc.,

...Actually it is the Kenwood Mini Chopper but that was not quite so catchy. The Kenwood Mini Chopper is one of the handiest gadgets in my kitchen (and I love gadgets). The marketing blurb says that it is useful for chopping nuts, meat and fish, blending fruit and cooked vegetables and making mayonnaise. However, I would recommend it to anyone who likes to experiment in the kitchen, and this is why. I make a lot of Continental dishes based around Filo pastry, cheese and or meat, and I find that this little gadget is ideal for testing quantities and mixtures for flavour and effect. Also, when mixing herbs for background flavour I can test quantities of Coriander, Basil, Oregano and garlic to make sure that they bind together and do not overpower. And, as it holdsaround six fluid ounces of liquid it is the quickest way to way to make... Read review

Advantages: all of the above
Disadvantages: maybe not suitable for ice cubes. Not for large amounts

...After struggling for years with a food processor, just to process small amounts, I finally gave in and bought a tiny Kenwood Chopper. I don't have a lot of people to cook for, but I do like to experiment in the kitchen, so this is ideal. I grow fresh herbs in the garden, and it is so easy to chop and then freeze them. One of the most common uses for me, is to make a home made fish pie. I process the herbs, then I use the chopper to also chop the breadcumbs (1-2 slices is enough) and also some cheese. If you put cheese in the chopper, it comes out in little round bits - lovely for toppings. My niece like Slush puppies, and I keep ice pops in the freezer. I put them frozen in the chopper and they come out like bits of ice. I add a bit of juice and we have a slush. I have not dared put ice cubes in as these are much harder and may... Read review
