Julia, Mansfield

+ It is everything I would expect from a Kenwood Chef; the new flexi K beater is an excellent addition to the tools when making cakes - it gathers all the mixture together cleanly.
The glass liquidiser jug now has Imperial, metric and American measures so I am able to use any measuring system.
The instructions for use are clear and the cookbook is of good quality and very useful for any level of cook.
The splatter guard keeps the bowl and utensils clean when not in use and a wipe down with a damp cloth is all that is needed to keep the machine looking like new.
Though heavy, it can be slid carefully across a worktop to use.
I have been without a Kenwood Chef for about 3 years but now I can do all the mixing and baking that I used to do.
This machine is a good solid 'workhorse' and is an assett to any kitchen.

Joan, High Wycombe , “Cook a lot”

+ Spacious; quiet; versatile; reliable.
The accessories of my previous Kenwood Chef (30 years old when it broke down) fit the new one.

- The cover protecting the liquidiser fitment is difficult to fit on. I have to strike it really hard to make it slot into place.
