I absolutely loved this product when I first purchased it, but fell out of love with it quite quickly.

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 cracks and breaks with repeated use. I have already had to replace the bowl because it was dropped (onto carpet!) and shattered like a wineglass. The jug and bowl lid are riddled with cracks now, and will not last much longer.
I am not especially heavy handed or clumsy, I managed to get my 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).
