Decent Car Radio

Advantages: Easy to use, good features, cheap
Disadvantages: Manual could be better written

...CDs first). Although there wasn?t a vast number to choose from, there were lots of types of car radio?s to look at, including some awesome DVD players (add to my to-buy list), but for the moment, all I wanted was a radio for the car. With my lists in my head, I now start my search and I find two or three that I can tick off the list. The ones I?ve selected seemed nice, but I forgot that the new car radio will need to be installed and the old one taken out. I?m sure it?s simple to do, but there?s always something that goes wrong when I try to do these things. With the cost of having this done taken into account the list of selected car radios dwindles to one. Purchase selected: The Kenwood KDC-W 3037 A (installation was free). * Installation * I?m guessing the reason the installation was free was the model was being phased out...

Review of Kenwood KDC-W 3037

Process up your bits with a Kenwood

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

...I tend to spend quite some time in the kitchen these days but I don?t really mind as I do like cooking, I suppose that stems back to when I was ?cheffing? for a living. Anyway, back when I was ?cheffing? you had to do most things by hand, cooking wise that is, so it was a little more work back then. These days life in the kitchen is so much easier, what with all the mod-cons that are on the market to give chefs a little helping hand. One of them items, which I am the owner of and have been for some time, is the kenwood Multi Pro food processor/liquidiser. ** Brief specs? * White food processor. * Separate liquidizer. * 1.2 litre mixer capacity * 2.1 litre bowl capacity * 750 watt power * 2 speed and ?pulse? button * Safety interlock to prevent accidental start without lid. * Detachable blades for easy cleaning...

Kenwood Kettle comes to stay and stay and stay

Advantages: An efficient attractive kettle
Disadvantages: Hubby's fingers are a little big for under the handle

... 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 KM010 - royalty in the kitchen

Advantages: It's simply the most powerful and majestic Kenwood
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...the jobs my arthritic hands will no longer do - just as my mother and grandmother did before me! The only dissapointing thing is that Kenwood did not include a rear window sticker for my car. I simply can't resist asking reaward cap wearing hot hatchback drivers why they insist on advertising food mixers on their incredably noisy little cars. The totally blank look on their faces is a source of constant joy!...

Car FM transmitter for Apple audio players that fails to perform

Advantages: Easy installation, charges you audio player
Disadvantages: Poor sound quality, may foul gear stick.

...There are a few ways to connect your iPod or iPhone to your car stereo but the FM transmitter is arguably the easiest. In the case of the GEAR4 CarDock FM Transmitter, it's powered by the 12V cigarette lighter socket in your car so you need to plug it in, connect your Apple audio player, tune your stereo to the frequency displayed on the transmitter and away you go. It also charges your Apple player with no issues and is compatible with practically every Apple audio device including iPhone (2G, 3G, 3GS) iPod (classic, Nano, Video and touch) thanks to included adapters. Unfortunetely sound quality is poor and can only be described as a badly tuned radio station! Even if I were desperate I'd still grow tired of it after a while which is a shame. As the gear stick is near the cigarette lighter in my car, my hand fouled the transmitter...

My Kenwood, My Friend

Advantages: Inexpensive and practical
Disadvantages: Rather noisy

... 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...

Review of Kenwood FP 108 White Compact

A toast to Kenwood

Advantages: Good price, nice toast, looks good
Disadvantages: None yet

...Debenhams. We had £100 worth as a wedding present and still had £25 left - the fact that it is our third wedding anniversary on 16th April is immaterial! We're not shopaholics then! I thought that it would be expensive at Debenhams but figured that it was worth a look; however I was in for a nice surprise. They had a Kenwood TTP103 four slice toaster in white for £20! So know you know why we needed a toaster, how and why we chose it and where we got it from I'm guessing you'd like to know a bit about it! Features It has a crumb tray into which will drop the crumbs from the toast. It slides out of the base of the toaster so that it can be emptied - I always put the resulting crumbs out for the birds. I also usually turn the toaster upside down and give it a bit of a shake to get the crumbs out that don't fall into the crumb tray...

Review of Kenwood TTP 103

Kenwood FP250

Advantages: Cheap and good for carrots etc
Disadvantages: not fit for mixing dough

...Loved the price of this processor. Had it 2 weeks burnt motor out doing nothing too heavy on it 4 batches of soup and three bread mixes :( First day i used it i thought the burning smell was just it bedding in. Second time it was ok with just some onions, carrots, potatoes & roasted vegetables Last time i used it black smoke belched out the bottom of it, never a good sign in my opinion. Took it back to Tesco and got a refund. Last time i buy a Kenwood unless i can be talked back from this one. This was not a good buy even though price indicated it was going to be On up side it is great for chopping onions and carrots just pants at the more difficult stuff!!!...

Review of Kenwood FP 250 Brushed Metal Multipro

KENWOOD - THE COMPLETE ANTIDOTE TO WINDSOR CASTLE

Advantages: Superb rural setting. Magnificent art collection. The stunning room shown above.
Disadvantages: Woefully small car park.

...at all at this time of day working our way around he old "North Circular" route, admiring the new Wembley Stadium construction site on the way. Situated in Hampstead and adjacent to Hampstead Heath, Kenwood turned out to be just 13 miles from our starting point. This is part of London that we do not know at all and I was really surprised at just how affluent it is here, we travelled up to Kenwood off the A1 past huge gated mansions. As directed by the brown English Heritage road signs we entered the car park twenty minutes before the house opened at 11.00a.m. There was not one single space to be found, for what turned out to be a large site, the car parking here is woefully inadequate. We were lucky, driving round and round the car park eventually a dog walker arrived and vacated a space. Tiny as it is, the car park is very shady so...

Review of Kenwood House

Kenwood please stick to car stereos or blenders

Advantages: ok for people on a budget, Nice colour, easy to install
Disadvantages: Not very good sound quality, not for me

...was ready to be installed. To mount the kenwood speakers, all i had to do was position the holes on the speaker to the holes in the door itself, align the screw and screw all four screws in til they were tight, all that was then left to do was plug the connection onto the terminals on the back (just used the old ones that were already there) and put the door panel back on. A good tip here is to get some dynamat on the door panel itself, and between the actual speaker and the metalwork of the car your mounting it on. This will prevent the sound from escaping outwards from the car, and redirect the sound into the car which is exactly where you want it to go (no good upgrading and letting the sound out). Now dont get me wrong here, in the speaker world you do actually get what you pay for, and ill explain abit further on...
