Advantages: Easy to clean, easy to use

Disadvantages: Expensive if you don't use it for much

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 and the attachments you will need for both. With the mixing bowl you get a whisk, a stirrer (which I used to mix the cake ingredients) and two dough kneaders for making bread. With the processor you get a knife blade, 2 slicer/shredder plates and one chipper plate. There is also a liquidiser that attaches easily on top of the processor (there is a cap that covers the top of the machine when the liquidiser isn’t attached). It has 4 numbered speeds but there are numerous other speeds by moving the switch in-between them and the instructions advise you on which speed is suitable for which activity (very useful for us novices!).

What can you use it for?

It would be far quicker to ask what you couldn’t use it for. Here is a small list of the things that you can do with it although I’m sure there are literally 100’s more things the manual doesn’t advise.

- Cakes, breads, pastry and meringues
- Soups, drink, pate, mayonnaise and breadcrumbs
- Chop raw and cooks meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts
- Slice/shred vegetables, fruit and cheese or use the chipper

How easy is it to use?

The one word answer is very. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and extremely cleaner friendly with no awkward nooks and crannies. Unfo
rtunately none of it is dishwasher safe and I recommend reading the cleaning instructions at least once. The processor attachment has a feeding tube and two pushers the larger of which has it’s own feeding tube for smaller amounts, great for keeping fingers safe and they are easy to use and clean. It also comes with some recipes for each of the attachments so you can get used to how everything works.

Is it worth it?

I’ve yet to really put this processor to the test but compared to the many others I’ve used in my life this one is far superior in that it’s easy to use and clean. This is one of the more expensive non-professional processors but the quality of it is superb and there is no messing around. It does come with some starter recipes that you can use to practice with each of the different attachments.

I would only buy this if you’re going to make good use of it, if you just want to chop and mix then I’d advise going for a smaller, cheaper option. To be honest personally I look forward to baking more with my little kitchen help, and for me to say something like that it has to be good!
