Kenwood M-707i

Advantages: Small, easy to store and good for those small jobs in the kitchen
Disadvantages: Will struggle with larger items

...will probably out last the processor itself. It has what Kenwood call a unique patented ?Dual Drive system?, what ever that means, but as the motor is not the most powerful then I?m guessing it has got nothing to do with that, if it has then it maybe needs to be a ?double-dual drive system?. Speaking of the motor, well, as I said, it may not be as powerful as other processors, being unable to handle anything as big as a whole onion or the like, but it is still good enough to take on smaller items with ease, or even pre-chopped onions if needs be. It may not be one of the quietest of motors either, in fact it sounds a little like a jaguar with a dodgy manifold, especially when you use the ?pulse? button, and when I turn the dial to change up a speed there is a bit of a loud thudding noise as the motor changes gear, like that jaguar again...

... Kenwood SJM270 Kettle I'll start off by saying that this is likely to be a pretty boring review!! It's a kettle for goodness sake - and don't we just take them for granted!! The kettle is probably my least used kitchen appliance now. My family are predominantly coffee drinkers (a cup of tea has not passed my lips for 38 years!!) and since I purchased my indispensable Senseo Coffee Machine it is VERY rare that I make a cup of instant coffee. But, of course, I do need a kettle for other things apart from tea and coffee and when my old one went to the big kettle skip in the sky I needed to go and look for a new one. My previous kettle had been brushed stainless steel, and to be honest I wasn't that keen, I found that it took a fair bit of cleaning to keep it looking decent. It is twelve months now since...

... KENWOOD WHITE COMPACT FOOD PROCESSOR INTRODUCTION The food processor is probably my most used kitchen appliance (next to my trusty Senseo coffee machine!!) This review is about my current food processor, which is the Kenwood White Compact Food Processor that I bought from Argos about six years ago. I paid around £25 for the machine but on checking today I see that it is on sale in Argos (code number 420/0442) for £27.99, I have also seen them on Amazon for less than £20. I have, in the past, owned far more expensive and intricate food processors. But this machine is perfectly adequate for me, and I do a lot of cooking. Six years on it is still working well, making my pastry, whisking my eggs shredding my vegetables etc. I have been a Kenwood customer for forty years since my mum bought me my first Kenwood...
