Advantages: Reliable, high quality
Disadvantages: Can be pricey

...I bought a Kenwood Hi Fi System 2 years ago, and it is still in just as good condition as it was then. It has been moved about alot but still it is in perfect working order. I think that Kenwood are a very reliable make when it comes to music systems, many of my friends buy Kenwood products and they too have had no problems whatsoever. So if you are looking to buy a Hi Fi system choose KEnwood for reliability. I must also mention that they are of a very high quality too.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

...This is my third deep fat fryer the first being a Tefal that lasted 11 years, the second a Kenwood DF650 which lasted 14 months and finally another Kenwood DF 650 which arrived today with the compliments of Kenwood! The first kenwood was a vast improvement on the Tefal in the fact that the whole thing could be cleaned in the dishwasher (all except the control unit that is removed to dismantle the fryer). Last week the fryer stopped working so a little annoyed to start with I rang Kenwood to see if it could be repaired, no problem send it back to us they said and we will repair it, how much I asked, oh that will be free if it's a manuafacuring fault if it isn't we'll ring and let you know how much the repair will be and by the way we will arrange for it to be picked up by courier free of charge. On Saturday I got a letter from Kenwood... Read review

Advantages: Reliable and excellent quality.
Disadvantages: None

...I have owned my Kenwood Hi-fi for over 10 years now, I paid £999.00 which was is a lot of money for a hi-fi, but it has definately been worth every penny. The sound quality today is just as good as it was 10 years ago, it has never had any faults. The range of features is excellent, I particularly like the CD to tape editing function which intelligently puts the cd's tracks onto tape so that no songs get chopped off when the tape reaches the end. The range of external connections is amazing, you can connect this hifi your TV, PC, etc, this is very useful. I would definately recommend a kenwood hifi to anybody that requires a reliable quality hifi.... Read review

Advantages: Makes juice
Disadvantages: Makes a mess

...Ok, so imagine Christmas morning. Your parent buys you a juicer to add a bit of weight to your stocking. This time she should have just put coal in or something. Im not a bad reviewer but this was not up to standard. What do you look for in a juicer? Lots of juice from very little fruit and very little mess. What did I get? Very little juice, loads of fruit and im still cleaning the kitchen (well not really, but it is messy) It does its job but I've definately seen better, I would recommend you go for something a little more expensive. The Kenwood Juicer is just not for me, maybe you will get on better with it but if I was you I would give this one a miss and look else where for a juicer. Sorry Kenwood but it just has not made the grade this time.... Read review

Advantages: It's shiny and Red
Disadvantages: As much use as a Chocolate Tea pot

...This Kenwood vacuum looks splendid, is relatively high powered and is bagless which of course means more suck. Apart from the fact that it can't stay on its wheels it only has one real design flaw. It doesn't really get on with dust. The filters block, the suction is lost and the finer particles of dust simply fly out of the back. I have persevered with this machine. After spending the last hour dragging the thing around the upstairs of my home, using nothing but the end of the tube to make up for the lack of suction, I turned the thing off and good portion of what I sucked up, spilled out. Frustrated? Annoyed? No more like bemused. Kenwood have a good reputation, I have a vacuum that sucks really well as long as I don't want it to clean!... Read review

Advantages: Good sound, ability to drive difficult loudspeaker loads
Disadvantages: Volume control not illuminated, difficult to see volume setting from any distance

...The KA-5090R is a very capable design using Kenwood's (Sanken) TRAITR transistors. It was one of Kenwood's last stereo integrated amplifiers before they withdrew from the domestic audio market in the UK. It offers 65 watts RMS X 2 minimum (90 watts X 2 typical), has full remote control and features independent source and record input selection (you can listen to one source while recording another). The appearance is kept neat by placing all the secondary controls behind a drop down flap. This includes tone and balance controls with 'direct' option and A&B speaker and loudness switching. The amp and remote support Kenwood's XS8 and XS16 remote protocols (the amp can be attached to other Kenwood components like tuners, cassette decks, etc and allows you to control them via its remote). Construction quality is good, with a generously... Read review

Advantages: Good to cook with. Easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Rather large to store.

...Kenwood DF520 I have found this fryer to be an efficient addition to my kitchen. It is rather bulky so advisable to have a cupboard to store it in, for, if you are like me, it will only be used on a few occassions. It cooks well with a good range of temperatures and has a reasonable sized basket for the food to be cooked. It is rather spoilt by the viewing window becoming hard to see through once cooking has commenced as it appears to steam up which makes it more difficult to tell when the food is ready without opening the lid. It is easy to keep clean and takes apart with lillte difficulty to enable most componants to be placed in the dishwasher.... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable Pricing
Disadvantages: Dreadful service, after care and business practice

...I purchased a Kenwood KDW12SL3A dishwasher from Curry's that in six months developed so many faults it's now only fit to be scrapped. Curry's refused to exchange/replace the appliance when I returned it under guarantee, irrespective that their repairers were unable to give any indication of when, or if, it could be fixed (correct parts unavailable). The store admitted knowing that the Kenwood was of dreadful quality when sold and stated that it will likely be nothing but trouble in future, even if repaired this time, but also said that they are under no obligation to do anything until I have been without use of it for at least 28 days!. There's surely no excuse for such poor commercial integrity or customer service... Read review

Disadvantages: Durability, prone to skipping

...I have now been the owner of the Kenwood minidisc player for almost two years. I was originally drawn to the product as it was a Kenwood, and having a Kenwood hi-fi, which I was very happy with, gave me confidence in them as a company. The player itself takes on a slick and sexy appearance, with a metallic blue exterior. The functionality is excellent, offering the same choice as many players, but put together in a user friendly way. The player has not been without its problems though. Withing the first month, it needed to be returned to the manufacturer as the optical lasers started malfunctioning. Another gripe I have is it's proneness to jumping, as this was the one thing that drew me to minidisc rather than CD. The minidisc format itself though is excellent, offering versatility way beyond a CD at a much more competitive price... Read review

Advantages: Fair price. Defrost and reheat functions. Overheating protection.
Disadvantages: A bit bulky, warming rack seems a little pointless.

...I bought this toaster when I refitted my kitchen a few years back, and it has served me well. If you are considering buying it, though, there are a few things you should know... The Kenwood 2-Slice Toaster with Warming Rack TT350 (White) is Just Like Your Average Toaster.. Put in bread, push down handle, toast pops out. Simple. ...But a Little Bit Nifty... The Kenwood 2-Slice Toaster with Warming Rack TT350 (White) has a few notable features that you might not find on a standard toaster: *Brownness dial - you rotate it to adjust the darkness of your slice (or in my case, what shade of burnt you want). *Reheat...
