Kenwood Blender/Mill

I'm sure everbody has watched programmes on healthy living and how we should be eating 5 portions of fruit and veg per day. Well as a family, i would say we are quite healthy, we don't east fast food and tend to have the recommended daily intake of fruit and veg. My daughter for some time has been pestering me for a blender as she wanted to make smoothies which she said was a more fun way of having your 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. So I started looking in the shops, in catalogues and on the internet to find a well made, good brand blender, but i didn't want to pay over the odds for it. As i think most of you would agree, Kenwood is a respectable, ...  Read the complete review

Here's a darling little blender that I just had to tell you all about. Its a standing blender - you know, like the kind you use for making milkshakes and stuff like that. But it also has a coffee grinder as well. Some time ago, when I was in my local Home Center (our local competition to Ace Hardware) when I saw that if I bought NIS 99 (about BPS 14.30) worth of products, I could add another NIS 99 and get this Kenwood Blender with Coffee Mill. Since the full sticker price for this was NIS 207 (just under BPS 30), I figured, why not? My old Moulinex blender, while not yet dead, had a broken bottom to the beaker and the coffee/nut grinder - which was never all ...  Read the complete review

It was my daughters first birthday on 24th Sept and I was determined to get out the old cake book and make her a special cake myself. My husband had bought me this processor a while back but I hadn’t had the chance to do very much with it except blend up the odd meal for my daughter. So when I started making the cake I thought we’d get it out, clean it and see what it could do. WOW what a difference that little machine made to the time it took to mix the cake ingredients, leaving me with more time to prepare for the next days celebration and party. So what’s so good about it? You get two bowls one for processing and one for mixing ...  Read the complete review

I have had to purchase a liquidising blender, for my cat, yes my cat. He had been missing for 5 days after going on one of his usual hunts on the nearby golf course. I was getting very worried he'd been killed, as he is not normaly away for that long, and hadn't returned for his meals. He eventually came in one night during a heavy rain storm, and was completely drenched, very thin and obviously in a bad way, his left eye was full of blood, and it was apparent that he could not close his mouth properly. Being 12.30 at night I was in a panic as to where I was going to take him, after a few phone calls, I got him to a 24 hour ...  Read the complete review

We were given a Kenwood CH100 mini blender when we were about to start feeding solid food to my daughter. Its designed for blending small amounts of stuff which is good if your baby is only going to eat a few teaspoonfuls of food. Other than that its a pretty standard design and it works well enough. There is a screw on lid and the blade lifts out. Its all fairly easy to clean by hand. The bowl and lid can go in a dishwasher, but the blade cannot. It says this in the instructions. My wife ignored this and before long the plastic around the blade had started to crack. You can get a new blade, lid and bowl for about £8.50 including postage from Kenwood ...  Read the complete review
