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

...** IN CONCLUSION? As I have had previously used Kenwood products before and had been quite pleased with what they had to offer so I was quite adamant that this little processor would be as good as it claimed. Plus I didn?t want a monster of a processor, as I knew I wouldn?t need to use it all the time so it would have to slot into the cupboard without stopping the door from shutting, so when I saw this I thought it would be the perfect size. Setting it up is fairly simple with the bowl fitting onto the middle shaft, although it can be a little tricky at times, but not enough to spoil the show. The liquidizer is by far the better of the two ?bowls? doing a much finer cut and being so easy to clean in itself. Cleaning it is just as easy with it?s removable blades, which, by the way, are made of quite high quality stainless steel so...

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...

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...

Kenwood KM010 - royalty in the kitchen

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

...If I was totally honest it would be fair to say that I needed a new Kenwood like a hole in the head - after all how many virtually retired batchelors really need a food processor? But over the decades I collected unpteen very usefull accessories and no less than four Kenwood mixers of mixed vintage, all of which were excellent for one task or another. However none were compatable with all the tools I owned, and visa versa! In a fit of enthusiasm last Christmas I hunted the Internet and decided to treat myself to a new Kenwood. Days of deliberation [and umpteen special deal offers later] I plumped for a Kenwood KM 010 Titanium. When it arrived, in a positively huge box, I really enjoyed myself unpacking every item and comparing the impressive new machine with its stainless steel accessories to the many "antique" versions in my...

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!!!...

Kenwood Steams Ahead

Advantages: works very well
Disadvantages: none

...Kenwood KB9188 Steam Iron... I have always had really cheap irons until I decided that the time spent ironing was twice as long with a cheap iron. I paid out only a fraction more than I would usually when this Kenwood iron was on special at £10 from Argos. Its original price was around £15 but considering I usually only had Tesco Value Irons for less than a fiver this one cost the price of a couple of irons would usually do. I would have to say however that it was a total brilliant purchase on my behalf. The price paid was a bargain and I can't believe that I have been using cheap irons all this time. The Kenwood iron is heavy in weight and high in watts (2000). This means that it is able to sail through the ironing at a super quick time, I am not having to push hard on the clothing or go over it several times with just one swoop...

Kenwood Major - A major success

Advantages: Large bowl, pulse capability, bowl cover
Disadvantages: Bowl cover is not very strong.

...Q: Kenwood Major or Kenwood Chef? A: It depends on your needs! Advantages of the Major over the Chef: - Larger bowl makes large mixing possible, less messy and easier (6.7L over 4.6L) - Flexible beater included Although that may seem like a very small difference for such a difference in price, for me, it is well worth it. When baking or mixing something for large quantities the Major gives me the capacity that the Chef would struggle with. As with the Chef, the Kenwood Major is a very high quality appliance. With the flexibility of being able to attach the most amazing attachments, from sausage makers to food processors the Major flexes its dynamism. This is a very robust machine that in my experience does not scratch easily. If you are toying up whether to get a Kenwood over another brand I would suggest the Kenwood for a number...

kenwood FP580 - Compact

Advantages: standard size but takes up little space
Disadvantages: not all accessories available to 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 remove but this soon loosens up. The 2 sizes of 'feeding' tubes in the lid of the main bowl, enables you to feed individual or handfuls of fruit/veg into the the processor to be ccot by one of the chosen blades. This is very safe, quick anf efficient. The instruction manual is just an A4 paper sheet but does list all the contents. The only downside I felt was that it lists all available discs...

Kenwood SM606 - Sandwiches are now fun!

Advantages: It does considerably more than your standard Sandwich Toaster!
Disadvantages: A shame the plates can't be removed to clean.

...Our old Sandwich maker was certainly showing signs of age, not least loss of its non stick coating. But it was 15 years old so it wasn't too hard to finally accept it needing replacing. But - We wanted something that offered a little more than a standard Sandwich Toaster would do, be compact enough to store away in a kitchen with limited storage space, but something that would have a timeless look to it, so it wouldn't look out of place in 5 or 10 years time. And it had to be a reasonable price. The Kenwood SM606 ticked all of these boxes. It has a stylish chrome finish body. The non-stick coated cooking plates are made for easy cleaning. It has an easily seen indicator light. A nice sized cool touch handle. It stands upright for compact and space saving storage. The grill plates are ribbed, and the hinges "float" to...

KENWOOD - THE COMPLETE ANTIDOTE TO WINDSOR CASTLE

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

...no air conditioning, also our "out and about" budget had been fully used up earlier in the month showing my Polish in laws around, not least during the exorbitantly expensive visit to Windsor Castle that you have all been so kind to comment on! What is there to do then in London, to put it crudely, that is cheap? Well, we do have our English Heritage cards and guide book with us, roughly drawing a line north to south through the centre of London AND avoiding the congestion charging zone, we are left with a choice of four properties to visit in the western half. A couple of these we had previously visited, the other, Coombe Conduit in Kingston, did not really look like a full day out, so, by default Kenwood House rather chose itself, apart from that my wife had liked the look of the house pictured in the guide book! We had no trouble...
