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...

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...

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...

A Toast to Kenwood!

Advantages: Simple controls, easy enough to use, toasts 4 slices in one go!
Disadvantages: Struggles on home baked bread, body doesn't always stay cool in use, availability

...Kenwood; there's a name I haven't seen for a long time. I used to have a Hi fi unit with the name of Kenwood and although it wasn't the best it took me a few years to realise that the company who make kitchen appliances and Hi Fi's are not the same people! Doh! Well its harmless enough mistake to make given that the look of each brand emblem is virtually the same. These days however I have moved onto better things and replaced my old Hi Fi with an all in one unit, half the size and twice the amount of features. The same goes with my toaster. Having had a few cheapie brand names over the years such as Hinari, Bush and JMB from then, Index catalogue stores (bought over by Argos) and another similar toaster from Poundstretcher, one day my cheapie toaster no longer toasted. The problem was the fact that through 4 toasters throughout...
