After researching for days what food processor to buy I decided to buy this one because of the multi options, level of noise, power of the motor and good looking design. After I bought it and I tried at least 5 different options, I am extremely satisfied with the results. The level of noise is acceptable, it is extremely quick and stay almost immobile when is chopping large quantity of veg because the sturdy design of the motor. the mill bowl is amazing and the liquidizer seems robust. In the other hand though, it required to have a lot of space for the accessories!!! I am not convinced about the design of the bowls as the biggest bowl have to stay on all the time!!! as it is the only one with the locking system, which means that if you want to chop or grate small quantities of food you have to use the smaller bowls within the big one. This bring along two defects of the design; one is that it isn't easy to take the inner bowls out of the big one; second you have to wash both bowls even if the big one is used as a base because it is almost unavoidable to splash some part of the mixture into the big bowl. Taking into account that the size of the big bowl is huge!!! this seems to rather disappointed as add time to your washing up or a lot of space into you dishwasher.... but overall I am satisfied with my purchased. If you are looking for a good or excellent chopping results this is a quick and powerful tool to have but think about the space needed to store blender, mill bowl and box of blades...Also be aware that you will be shock to open the door for the delivery as the box is HUGE!

After some really prolonged research for a food processor, I was left in the end with two models that share similar quality features, the philips robust range food processor and this. As there were no reviews in amazon regarding this in amazon I was more inclined to purchase the philips but after checking the attachments provided I thought that this was better given that it has more attachments, several bowls and a container for attachment storage (which the philips lacks).I checked prices online and I found it in a nice website where it costed 40£ less than amazon, and that makes a price difference of around 90£ to the philips, so I saved my self a bit of money. When it arrived I opened the box where it had the unit and its attachments, cleaned them and gave it a try.Tried shredding with some really nice results, tried slicing with similar results. As any owner of foood processor would know these are the relatively easy bits compared with whisking and mixing a dough. The first try for a dough was making a pizza base, although I didn't put the right amount of ingredients but the result was really good, there are some bits that stick here and there but if the dough is firm enough there wouldn't be a problem. The major problem was how the processor wobbled around and needed to be held down while it was doing the mixing!. You would expect a problem like that in a relatively small model but this was quite heavy and still wobbled around a bit. There are other attachments but I still haven't used many of them.This processor is very stylish and would happily set in the corner of any well sized kitchen, the attachment box is similar in size to a bread keeper and is well designed as well, one of the knifes and the two smaller bowls have to stay in the machine for storage, and most of its contents are dish washer safe. And to be honest the machine motor (or at least the dial control) feels as if it stronger than what it should be. never the less, this is an awesome piece of kit and I would really recommend it, and I don't really think that it might be outdone from any processor in its class (the uprights) espesially in available functions, well done Kenwood!

As the title suggests, this item from Amazon UK was precisely half the retail price here in Oz and arrived in 4 days of placing my order. No wonder Jerry Harvey the founder of 'Harvey Norman' is one of the richest men in Australia with mark ups in his stores such as that!After reading the reviews and tech specs I had assumed that the physical size and weight of the item would make the freight costs prohibitive and the 20 pounds quoted seemed to be unbelievably cheap and I thought probably a mistake but no, it was correct and as mentioned earlier, shipping took just 4 days door to door. The exchange rate when I placed the order put $360 on my credit card, the retail price locally? A whopping $720 the last time I looked. I am obviously delighted that Kenwood allow Amazon to sell their products to overseas customers, something that many other manufacturers like Dyson don't. By forcing us to buy from retailers here they are supporting the price gouging that prevails. I'm all for supporting retailers in Australia and for providing jobs for those that work in retail but the mark ups on equivalent products from the UK or US are unjustifiable in my opinion.As for the product itself;Packaging, fantastic. Lots of it yes but protects the items perfectly from even the most careless semi potty trained delivery man.The processor. Well I actually purchased this for my wife because that's the sort of guy I am! She is absolutely delighted with the processor and gets a free work out every time she gets it out of the cupboard to use it. Did I mention that she's a heavy girl? Yes, very, but she has a very robust feel to her that will hopefully equate to a long working life (that's the processor, not the wife).And finally, in response to the seemingly endless debate about what the processor is supplied with, I can happily confirm that the version we received came with the citrus juicer but not the centrifugal juicer which as I had actually read the specs first before placing my order, the absence of which didn't throw me into fits of hysteria as it seemed to do to other reviewers. The only thing absent from the UK version that the one sold here has is the rasping attachment which my dear wife informs me is a thingy for rasping. Apparently rasping is something she doesn't do a lot of so the rasper attachment clearly isn't worth paying the extra $360 to buy the processor locally, sorry Jerry!
