Kenwood FP 920

+ Looks nice and functions exactly as you would expect a Kenwood to function.

- A lot of extra bits and bobs but the storage carousel is inadequate.

+ Substantial, well made product. You can do just about anything with it, though I haven't got around to using all the features yet. The blender and processor are excellent though.Good value for money.

- Only a small point, you just need space to store all the extras. A purpose built box would be good but perhaps you get that with a higher model.

+ Having purchased this item as a gift for my daughter who had just left home I can only reply mainly with regard to her experience of the product.As a novice cook, she was delighted with the product and found it very easy to 'get to know' and has enjoyed trying out new recipes. I was also impressed and would consider buying the same model when my present one gives out.

- Rather too much packaging, and it was difficult to repack once I had checked it for damage before giving it as a gift.

+ Its smart to look at and sturdy to use and does a good job - not used it to full potential yet due to having the flu

- Would have liked a cover for the main machine plus blender. Also an easy access storage unit for all the attachments (this could then sit on a work surface) would be an advantage.

+ All parts are easily accesible and so cleaning is simple. There's a great range of attachments included, to be honest some I will never use, but for overall best value and quality combined you can't beat this model.
The footprint is not too large so it sits comfortably on the worktop without taking up loads of room.
The stability of the product is what you'd expect, if not better than you'd expect. Even with making dough or pastry it does not rock around.

- I cannot think of any bad points at all. This model would be at home in many a professional kitchen, and the one I bought actually is!

+ Solid build. Powerful motor. Good combination of applications especially spice grinder.

- Unpacking components needs more explicit literature to see what everything is for and where it fits.

+ It is easy to use, simple to clean. The safety features are reassuring. I have used the citrus squeezer regularly and it is very effective. It is a great improvement on my Kenwood processor I bought years ago, which is still going strong & I have handed it down to my daughter. A great make & the right machine for me.

- It has numerous attachments so you need a spare cupboard to keep it all together.

+ Excellent value, easy to use and performs a good range of tasks.

- None as yet.

+ this product is the bis.even i can use it, so it's got to be easy.does eveything i want and more and
when put away takes up very little space.

+ I am so pleased with this purchase! Easy to set up, easy to clean, does everything in a jiffy... would definitely recommend this!

- You will need a couple of sections in your cupboard to keep all the attachments - but it's worth it.

+ Very powerful, large bowl for large quantities, lots of attachments to do lots of different jobs.

- Bit fiddly to put together, could do with a big storage box for all the bits.

+ Very efficient, versatile and flexible: does everything one could wish for and more. The only food processor I have bought that actually produces chopped onions and not mash! Except for the one point mentioned below, it is also extremely easy to use. The storage facility is also outstanding.

- Not really so bad but it took me a while to get the hang of placing the bowl on the spindle. Now |I am quite used to it but it is a bit fiddly.

+ it nice and big so it's ideal for cooking when you have guests

- the handle is on the wrong side. Which makes adding liquids difficult.

+ it looks really fashionable, lovley chrome finish, it is simple and easy to use, and it has so many functions

+ Easy to use. Lots of features.

- Rubber seals are not as thick as they used to be so have noticed a litlle leak here or there when i have been making soups!

+ Really amazing food processor. Worth that little bit extra money because of all the things it can do! You can chop an onion with no tears... just peel it and chuck it in!... juice with ease! (although cleaning out the gunk is a bit of a mess and the kitchen is usually a tip after making juice 'cause with all the fruit you use you hardly get any juice) but everything else is great... we make saucea and pastes and the little recipie book that comes with it is great.... we made bread! and pizza from scratch!... best kitchen appliance i ever bought!

- It takes an entire cupboard of the kithcen to store all the blades and bits of the food processor... the little box thingy you get to keep everything in is really rubbish and poorly designed... nothing could hold all the stuff you get with this thing... don't let this put you off though 'cause you'll never use any other kitchen appliance more than this... "oh i need to cut a carrot..... no problem... how would you like that? grated..? peeled? julienne?! ...or perhaps some carrot juice! yes anything cut in to any shape! " fantastic!!

+ Substantially built with big motor

- Lock into place is very efficient but VERY stiff to do up and undo.

+ Fast, efficient, good size bowls and range of accessories, compact, suction feet. Value for money.

- The loose centre drive shaft, it falls off every time you remove the bowl if not carefull, the cable storage was a bit disapointing and the glass liquidiser is heavy, why not plastic?

+ plenty of features & gadgets/tools

- can be a bit fiddly to use (& clean). The user instructions could be writtten more lucidly

+ Excellent product, very happy with it.

- Non really.

+ Build quality, ease of use and range of uses

- Lots of attachments to store!

+ Easy to use

- Easy to cut hands on blades when cleaning

+ Very easy to use. Lots of functions. Good build quality.

+ alot of functions with one device

- a bit fiddley to fix attachments

+ Very stable base and easy controls. Good variety of attachments and options for chopping / blending

- Some parts are difficult to clean and the main bowl feels flimsy - could it have been glass?

+ versatile

- fiddly to put together

+ This has everything I need in the kitchen. I'm able to bake cakes, make smoothies, grate parmesan in seconds, make speedy coleslaw, with no tears from onion, chop herbs - the list is endless. I love cooking and do a lot of it for my 4 kids. Excellent product. A friend has already bought one after having had a 'play' on mine.

- None

+ The food processor does everything it says on the "tin" and with consistently high & quality end products.

- The supporting column for blades etc should be permanently attached. Currently this is not the case & one has to make sure its positioning is perfect otherwise there is a problem in trying to process food etc.

+ range of tools that are easy/simple to use

- none found so far

+ It is able to do what the makers claim, it's as simple as that.

- Storeing all the accessories other than that there aren't any.

+ you can use one machine to do what you would normally use quite a feww machines for. for example, blending, juicing, whisking saving you room on your kitchen worktop or cupboard

- the dough blade should to be replaced with a dough hook, dough blades do not knead bread dough effectively

+ High quality with lots of features and powerful motor.

- Depending on your requirements, not all the attachments may be necessary and take up a bit of storage space.

+ Easy to clean as everything comes apart. Instructions are easy to understand and quite easy to store away

- Power lead is a bit tricky to feed into the back of processor for storage

+ Looks great. Very efficient and a joy to use - once you've got used to it.

- Perhaps a bit fiddly at first. It took me a little while to get used to the detatchable spindle. Nothing major though, might just have been me!

+ Its easy to use once you've put it together.

- Poor build quality led to it being a struggle to put together.

+ excelent machine, loads of accessories, very powerfull motor

- none

+ includes a good liquidiser, and is easy to use, with good tool storage

- Putting the bowl on could be a problem if you are left-handed

+ Looks good, does a good, job easy to clean a good all round food processor

- none

+ Build quality, number of attachments (good for different processing),looks good

- number of attachments (takes up quite a bit of room even with the on board storage system),a bit fiddly to use

+ Looks good, performs well, is very effective once you get used to it. Good value for money.

- Using the various attachments took a little getting used to and storage of all the parts takes quite a bit of space.

+ Multiple attachments

- Time will tell on build quality

+ the price is very good
the mixer has two bowl sizes
good speed variations
very good attachments

+ It does what it says on the packet! Fast, efficient and made to Kenwood usual high standard. Some reviews indicate that the base of the blender and herb chopper attachment are easily mixed up but Kenwood have resolved this by a small picture on the base of both to show which base is for which accessory. Good foot suction to prevent mixer moving on worktop when being used.

- Suction on feet can also be annoying if you store the unit in a cupboard (due to limited workspace) as getting it in and out means that you need to 'drag' it to the edge of the cupboard as it's almost impossible to lift. Other than that, no other obvious bad points yet but I've only had it for a couple of weeks so far.

+ It is an excellent new addition to my kitchen and I would highly recommend it. When it first arrived it took me almost an hour to unwrap all the pieces and read up on how to use them. I was quite surprised at how much you were getting for your money. So far, I have used the Peppermill, Mixer, Mini processor and a few of the cutting discs. I have to say it has yet to let me down and I am quite impressed with the whole thing. It also looks fab on the work top!

- You do need a large space in which to store the parts.

+ Easy to clean and the array of attachments means that it can be used in the preparation of most meals

- None
