My partner loves this multi-chef, there are so many different attachments that allow you to chop/dice all different types of food, the built in scales are an added bonus. The processor is very good quality and performs all jobs excellently! So happy with it and recommended to others.
This food processor is easy to use and to clean. I am still trying out all the attachments, to date each one has been straightforward and useful. Feels robust enough to survive my handling. Excellent for shredding or chopping vegetables, the blades are really sharp and the input guide exact.
Does everything you might need in the kitchen and works well. Still getting to know it but just one design fault at the moment. The spindle that drives the large processor just drops into place and is held in place by the bowl. This is fine until you lift-off the bowl the spindle tends to come out with it and drop on the floor.

It has taken me a while to review this as I haven’t used it as much as I thought I would and mainly due to size and accessories I don’t have a very large kitchen so I have to keep this elsewhere! But it is an absolutely amazing tool it literally does everything! Very well made extremely good long lasting quality materials etc

Integrated digital weighing

Highly recommended
A well engineered appliance.
Excellent glass blender though heavy.
Solid chopper blade.
Looks like it’ll last a longtime.
Admittedly I’ve become mildly obsessed with using this. Anything that needs dicing, slicing, or whisking – regardless of how minor the task is – will happily find itself in this processor.I just can’t resist not using it!!
It’s very powerful and works quickly. It takes a bit of experimenting and time to get used to the different functions and attachments at first, so the process started off a bit tedious, stretching my cooking time instead of making my life easier. The instructions are well-written and detailed though.
Once I got the hang of it, using the processor was as simple and hassle-free as icing a cake. My carrots are diced and grated within seconds!
As someone who has trouble measuring food portions with my hand, the integrated scale has been a huge help. I also like that I can use this with both hot and cold foods without worrying about damaging the machine.
Quality is terrific. It’s a processor built to last and should serve well for at least the next couple of years.
Considering the number of functions it has cooped up in one machine, it’s great value for money. Highly recommended!

Now for the initial product review.
Item extremely well packaged, and on opening the number of supplied items just kept coming out of the box. Looking at the contents list and picture on Amazon we did not fully appreciate the amount of addittional attachments that came with the processor itself. My only complaint is that it did not come with an attachment for washing the car, it seemed to have everything else.
All of the attachments are produced using high quality materials and their construction is of a high standard. The blender is glass and as such is heavy. The processor is very well designed and also using high quality materials. The built in weighing facility will be a real added bonus in actual use. The processor is held to a worktop by rubber feet which seem to have a sucker action and can require a bit of a careful tug to lift up the base, which is not an issue. The sharp rotary shredders come in their own zip bag for user protection and storage. The function controls are well thought out and really to use so no issues. This processor for the quality on the components and the supplied attachments is excellent value and is Kenwood at it’s best, and comes with a 3 year warranty from Lakeland.
It is ideal for the processor to have a cover and we found that the cover purchased for our Kenwood K-Mix mixer is ideal to fit over the processor and the blender. This can be purchased thro Amazon as the Chef Plastic Cover and as the pic shows is marked Kenwood Chef, and at 16 is also very good value for money.
There could be a storage issue for the number of attachments, which we have solved by grabbing a suitable single stacker box, which keeps them tidy and together.
By now you may have realised that we have not yet actually used this processor in anger, so my Wife Margaret will be writing a separate review in the future on how it actually performs.
Very happy with this purchase and look forward to getting many years of service out of it. Highly recommended by us both.
This is an excellent food processor, and is a good all-round performer. It scored 77% and got a Best Buy recommendation in a recent “Which?” review.
It does most things very well, and is useful for a wide variety of tasks. It doesn’t come with Kenwood’s Multi Mill attachment, so it can’t, for example, be used to grind coffee beans, but it manages the majority of kitchen tasks very nicely. The built-in weighing capability is a nice touch. It’s marginally louder in operation than some other machines, but not to a great extent.
Highly recommended.
This product is AMAZING
It is nice and lightweight and comes with an incredible amount of attachments and features including built in scales, dough attachment and thermal glass blender which can be used with hot or cold liquids.
This definitely makes baking more much efficient and enjoyable. Being able to weigh ingredients straight into the mixer saves so many dishes which is always a bonus haha
I will say that the mixer can be quite loud but it is also very powerful so I don’t know what you would use that you would need the max power but I was able to quickly make some shortcrust pastry with chilled butter and flour etc
Very happy and great value
I can not fault this blender, or is an absolute god send! I’ve never had smoothies so smooth and I’m so excited to use it more! The other attachments are also super handy and convenient!
You can always rely on Kenwood to produce appliances that are easy to use and always produce excellent results ,now matter what function you use on it.
This model comes complete with everything that you are likely to require as a processor in the kitchen.
The instructions are very easy to follow and the set up of this item could not be any easier.
Overall, we must rate this as one the best food processors that we have ever used and we would highly recommend it.
OMG! so many good points – so many blades/attachments – so far I have make beautiful fluffy cakes and muffins, Gluten Free pastry (any one on a GF diet will know how difficult that can be) and grated cheese and carrots! Makes baking so easy! So much functionality and having the scales built in saves so much time and washing up!
Sturdy, powerful and easy to use. Great array of attachments. Makes everything whether baking or prepping easier and faster to do.
It does everything it says it can very powerful Built in scales brilliant,Weighing Scale is great and the blender attachment works really well, even with hot liquids.
Love the storage bag for the very sharp blades and the built in scales are an added bonus.
this machine is fab – a blessing for anyone with trouble with their hands. Lots of things about it are good. The slicing, grating and cake attachments are all very good.
I would recommend and am delighted with my purchase 🙂
It does everything that it says in the box. Great for making cakes and bread. The fact that weight the ingredients is a plus. It has lots of accessories and most of them fit in a round zip bag the comes with this model.
It is very useful item to have in the kitchen.
Bad Points
Slightly confusing to work out which bits go where as the instructions not very clear
I can’t find accessories that fit this model such as the mill grinder.
Plastic parts are the main worry with this unit will their durability last.
The chop function works on some veg but not all.The blender is fairly good but does not give a totally smooth result.The smoothie maker is nice in that its glass, but it does leave bits at the bottom like dates and chunks of fruit
In summary i wouldnt recommended and i wouldn’t buy this again.
This has got everything you need to help you do almost everything in the kitchen when it comes to preparing food.
There’s a juicer, blender, chopper, grater and more, even a potato slicer.
The tools which come in this pack are well made and connect securely in place ready to use.
The bits help you chop, whisk, slice, knead, grate, blend, dice, squeeze, chip and julienne. Plus, there’s an additional plate which acts as scales. Which is really useful.
The four flat chopping disc are stainless steel and do exactly what they are designed to do. To chop, dice and slice. These discs actually come in a nice little storage bag to keep them safe.
It’s so easy to use too, with simple controls and an instruction booklet which explains everything pretty clearly. Giving you an idea of which bits to use for what job you are doing.
The main mixer bowl is plastic whilst the juicer jug is glass and quite heavy even when there’s nothing in it.
The main jugs and all the pieces are easy to clean, although do not drop the main body into the washing up bowl as damage will occur.
All the jugs and bits fit into place with a gentle turn of the pieces, keeping them where they need to be when the blades are spinning, the juice juicing and the mixing mixing.
The only down side to this which is not a downsize really, it the size of this as it will take up quite a bit of space on the worktops or even in a cupboard. But if you’ve got a bit of spare space then there’s no worries.
In all, if you’re into baking, or even if you’re not too keen, this is something which offers so much help throughout the cooking process. The price tag on this does seem a little high but for what you get and what it does it’ll be money well spend I mean, you even get a spatula in the box too.
This is an amazing addition to my kitchen and food preparation needs.
– Multifunctional for different food preparation and even weighs your ingredients to
– Very easy to clean
– Stores away perfectly in my cupboard
– Absolutely perfect
I would highly recommend this Kenwood Food Processo
The quality of this product was fantastic, feeling robust. It was easy to use and extremely powerful, blending and shredding food with ease.
The only real downside is that it’s quite a chunky product and requires a lot of room for both the processor and the accessories. But other than that this food processor has fantastic performance and it exceeded my expectations, amazing product.
Hope you found my review useful.
This kit comes with a lot of useful peripherals as standard and appears very well thought out.
There is a standard plastic jug, the usual sharp blender blade that is used for most things, a blunter dough blade, whisks, a variety of discs for grating and slicing, a large very solid glass liquidiser and a juicer for squeezing citrus fruit. The discs come in a useful little bag that keeps them together.
There is also an attachment with a spout which enables you to slice/dice/grate bypassing the main jug straight into the bowl, I’ve found this quite handy and easier to clean.
We’ve tried most things with success, it is intuitive and easier to put together than the endless pages of component diagrams may suggest. There are the odd niggles like huge lumps of cheese bypassing the grating disc, but overall I’m pretty happy with it.
One of the selling points is the fact that it has inbuilt scales, these although far from necessary , are quite handy, if you’re putting together a dough or batter it is quite nice to just weigh stuff as you add it to the processor, a lot less clutter and washing.
Overall I’m pretty happy with it, it is important to follow the instructions about the use of the motor and the filling levels – especially with hot liquids if you’re liquidising soup.
Follow the directions and you’ll be fine.
The blender itself is made of high quality glass, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was bullet proof, and it’s heat proof too. So you can do soups, gravy, hot chocolate etc. Of course, I was delighted to find a dough mixer included, so you can easily make bread in this machine. It’s even got two whisks, although they are too flimsy for an all-in-one cake- something the instructions do mention. However, you can do meringues, you can cream butter and sugar together before you fold in your flour and you have a spatula to fold in the flour with.
Also, there is a separate citrus juicer that goes on the processor so you can now buy cheap oranges and make your own orange juice or whatever citrus juice takes your fancy.
The list goes on. It’s got a chopper that sits on top of the machine and will chop potatoes, cheese, beetroot- anything really. It has a blade that processes pesto sauce in seconds.
All the pieces actually click together really easily. My one gripe, not worth losing a star over, is that the turn on switch feels a bit cheap and nasty. I don’t understand Kenwood doing this when everything else is top notch.
There are accessories you can buy later on for it, such as a coffee grinder, but you have a lot to be getting on with. It does close to everything and looks very smart. What a thrill it is to have a device like this in the kitchen. I might actually start using some of my cook books.
