Kenwood FDM788 Food Processor-1000 Watt-36 Functions- Silver

This is a great food processor. Had initially ordered a Topchef as was trying to save money but that was returned due to poor quality.Performance & Quality---------------------------Although the Kenwood cost double the price of the Topchef, you definitely get what you pay for. With a 1000w motor and 8 speed setting plus Pulse, its very versatile, making it a breeze to make mince meet, chop veg, grate cheese etc. Solid build with metal base, thick plastic bowl and a solid thick walled glass blender jug. Also has a built in weighing scale which is handy. Also comes with a 5 year warranty which is great. Seems to overheat a bit as you can smell it after a while but I suppose that's to be expected given the high powered motor.What's included------------------Although some people are saying it doesn't come with all accessories, it is available in different bundles reflected by the model number and the video just shows all possible accessories that it can potentially available for the food processor.The FDM790BA, which is the one I opted for, as standard includes main bowl and blade, mini bowl and blade, dough tool, 2 slicing/grating discs, glass blender, dual whisk, weighing dish, and max capacity disk. Additional accessories such as, mill, juicer etc, if needed are available from the 4kenwood website.It is the buyers responsibility to select the correct bundle based on their requirements and the listing will then show the specifics of what's included. Do not just assume It comes with everything in the video as it doesn't. I ordered the bundle that met my needs as I didn't need every accessory.Verdict--------Overall, this is a great food processor from a long established reputable brand with great build quality and performance and several accessories available as per user requirements.

Thank you for that! I was used to de everything by hand, even whiping, this changed my cooking.What made meChose this particular one was the glass blender thermo resistant.All other options are great, easy to install, solid, working fine.Not huge difference between the speeds, would have liked a real slow one, but still it is fine.Minus the smaller bowl, that is not easy to assemble and close.

I did a lot of research before buying this food processor because my old Braun one was 40 years old so it would have a lot to live up to. I read the reviews which were mostly positive. My requirements were varied as I do a lot of cooking and baking so it needs to be versatile. Before writing a review I wanted to try various methods of chopping, slicing, kneading etc. I can understand why people say the instructions are not the best because this processor is similar to my old one so not much difference in the way it’s used, but for a new user I can see why they might find it difficult as it’s not explained very well and the diagrams are not much help.I like the way it’s easy to clean and that the cord can be stored in the base but it’s quite difficult to get it in unless you’re determined. Food doesn’t get trapped in the space between the disc and the top which is good. I think it’s quite noisy but it’s a powerful motor so that’s not too much of an issue.I make a lot of soup so I was hoping the blender would help. Positives are it’s a decent size and well made. Negatives are because it’s thick glass it’s quite heavy. Also, as previous reviewers have said unless you get up close and very personal it’s very hard to get the blender off the base unit unless you hug it close to you. I also managed to unscrew the top from the base which luckily didn’t matter as the soup I was blending was cool.All in all though, I really like my new processor and would probably buy the same again.

I love this product especially the glass blender. I use the blender every day and the food processor about four times a week and so far I've had no problems. The thing I most like about the blender, apart from it's size and the fact that it's made from heavy glass, is that the whole thing comes apart for easy and thorough cleaning. I bought a 1000 watt food processor a couple of years ago, made by some French company, and it was absolute tatty rubbish which had to be discarded after eighteen months. This one cost only a little more and is far superior in quality and performance.

I've had my old Kenwood for 25 years, so I had high expectations for its new replacement, and I haven't been disappointed. This machine is solidly built and easy to use, with reassuring safety safeguards. A useful feature is the inbuilt scale so you can weigh ingredients directly into the processor. All in all, highly recommended.
