Being someone who loves my cooking and being able to know what ingredients go into my food (the chemicals and ingredients you put in are going to affect what you get out in terms of your mood) I decided it was about time I got myself a food processor so I could do my own sauces. I felt it would be best to go for a named brand so that I knew it would be easy to use and last but was this really a good decision? Pros: Kenwood is a very well known and trusted brand when it comes to kitchen appliances so you know that your product comes from those who have experience and have built up their name over the years. This is a great looking food processor so ...  Read the complete review

Ididdoo: Jump to the section you most need info on, or go for the whole hog! Enjoy! ...INTRODUCTION.... When I bought this guy it came in a pretty sizable cardboard box, and when you open it up - you understand why! Its many versatile features means its size it pretty daunting, especially if you have a smaller family kitchen like mine. That being said, although sizable on the surface counter, i wouldn't have it any other way. Each part of the FP196 has been designed for function, and function it does... ...FEATURES... Opening First things first - the packaging it comes in is great. No messing around with oodles of filling polystyrene ...  Read the complete review

I got this on special offer at half price at just under £50 from Argos and i thought i was getting a good deal. It does come in a very fancy box and I cant fault the instructions. Style-wise it looks very good being a mixture of stainless steel, black plastic that feels good to touch and the clear plastic bowl and jug. The bowl and jug both have measurements on the front of them. The blender can take up-to a litre but i have found it best to stick to 800ml or it'll struggle with things such as apples, carrots and sometimes even bananas. This is quite a failing for a blender. The main bowl is the same, it can take upto 1.4 Litres but it struggles with anything ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this as a replacement for my trusty old Kenwood processor that gave up the go after years and years of frequent use. At first sight the reviews made it look like i had bagged a bargain although it was a little smaller than my old one it looked pretty smart compared to my trusty Kenwood. And it also had a liquidizer which my old one didn't. The liquidizer is pretty useless considering if you fill it over half way it never went fully smooth. The Blades only seemed to move up to half way. It made a horrible whining noise and overheated i simply think its way underpowered for the price you pay. The processor side seemed to struggle to make bread crumbs and chop ..  Read the complete review

Looks Amazing! But... Well basically, it isn't... let me explain: When you buy it, as I said, you think, oooh it looks amazing, it must be good if it looks this good! Yes it does look good, but when you begin to use it you'll realise that its really very weak. If you try to fill the containers to the max, you will find that it can only just about chop anything up, never mind liquidise it. Food seems to just get pushed out and up rather than get chopped. As another review states it also struggles with breadcrumbs! Also, it only has ONE SPEED! so basically its either on, or off, or you can pulse it. a speed control would not cost them that ...  Read the complete review
