Kenwood HMP40.000GY Go Collection hand mixer, Storm Blue

I love this food processor, it is absolutely perfect for my needs. It does however have some limitations, which mean it won’t be suitable for everyone, so i’lll outline those first and then round out with why I love it if not already obvious :)1. Obviously the capacity for pureeing-type actions will be a limitation for some - the working capacity is only about .75 of a litre, so if you want to make large batches of things like hummus or whatever, this won’t be for you. For me, the size is perfect - I use it mainly for things like dips, and I seldom want to make more than 0.75 litres of dip at a time, so this is not a problem for me. When it comes to the slicing . Grating functions, your capacity is essentially unlimited, because the grated/sliced items come out through the side port.2. There is only one slicing / cutting disk, so if you want to grate or slice finer than what that disc does, you’re out of luck. Again, for me it’s fine, as it’s generally slicing / grating things at the thickness I want.3. There do not appear to be any replacement parts available, so if the disc gets dull or you crack a bowl you probably need to buy a whole new device (i hope I’m proven wrong about this, but I’ve looked and can’t find anything)4. There is only one speed, so, if you want faster or slower, tough luck (again, I have not found this remotely to be a problem, and the speed seems just about perfect for me.What I love about it? It’s light, compact, takes up about a quarter of the space of my previous all-singing all-dancing food processor, and it does the job I need it to do. It’s lightweight and incredibly easy to clean - I generally wash by hand, but all the parts apart from the base with motor are dishwasher compatible.My husband tried to dissuade me from buying this, as I already had a perfectly functional food processor that had served me reasonably well for w0 years - but it was heavy and bulky and took up loads of space and had a lot of functions I no longer use. The large main bowl was actually a disadvantage for me, as I normally make things in small quantities these days, and though there was a smaller bowl insert, it sat inside the larger bowls which inevitably also got dirty, tripling the àmiunt of washing up. The old food processor has found a new home, and my husband has recognised that this new one is a much better fit for our needs, so everyone is happy.

I bought the Kenwood MultiPro Go for its compact size, and it’s been a game-changer in my kitchen. It’s lightweight, easy to assemble, and the parts are dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup a breeze. The stackable design means it doesn’t take up much space in my cupboard. Really happy with this. It’s small in size , doesn’t take up much space, and does everything I need—chops, slices, grates really well. It is the best for people with small kitchen space. For the price, it’s excellent value—perfect for quick, everyday use.

Great little machine and value for money. One disappointment is that the inside of the bowl has been scratched when blending bread crumbs - does not affect function however it is aesthetically unappealing. It would also be advantageous if more parts could be bought - for example a fine grater rather than the one included which is thick. A juicing attachment would be great too.

...does what you'd expect. Nice design and relatively small in size. At the price I think it's good value for money. A hint of caution in terms of functionality...... 1. You can have either the blender attachment or the slicer/dicer on, not both at the same time! 2. The 360° slicer/ dicer attachment isn't, once you uncoil the mains lead you can rotate the entire machine through 360° not the attachment. Other than that, it's a great device and I'd recommend

It's my own stupid fault, I had taken the cardboard protector off the grater disc whilst I was unpacking it and looking at the pieces.This really taught me to be ULTRA careful handling the disc or blades: I have an ice cream tub this going into to soak when it's dirty and sometimes I use some magnets that look like map pins to lift the disc out of the unit.I've never had a food processor before, so I am learning how to best use it, or just accept the results. For example, if I just pop mushrooms down the chute, it's going to be random shapes that come out. I have also taken the time to slice a mushroom in half and pop it in flat side down for more traditional shaped slices, but once in a sauce, does it really matter?I've not grated cheese by hand since having this. Does it do as good a job as grating cheese with a cheese grater? No. I might get lots of small tiny bits and some bigger bits. But again, does it really matter? I just grate a whole block of cheese at once, this to me is preferable to doing a third to a half of a block at a time and washing up a cheese grater etc multiple times.Bought at under £50 and I wouldn't be without it. Batch cook and freeze.

The media could not be loaded. I could not understand the instruction set up for the machine do ended up getting a set by set through you tube.I bought to grate carrots for carrot chutney and it did this super quick.I have also since used it to chop up chicken and bacon for a meat roll using the bowl and blade part.This is a excellent machine, and can't stress enough the blades are super sharp import to be careful.I got mine in a warehouse deal slightly cheaper.I have used it twice so far and it has given off a hot smell just hope it dosent give up.

Perfect for slicing vegetables

This is a good value product and compact if you want to shred salad or vegetables to liven up your meal choices. It works well. I was a little bit dozy and whilst working out how to use it pricked my finger on the sharp rotator cutting a small vein which would not stop bleeding but this is a safe product and it was my own stupidity really. The hospital even joked that I did not put my finger in did I lol. To which I replied "I'm not that stupid". The only thing I would criticise the instructions are not that great but it is compact and great value for money but please be careful when assembling it and trying to work out how to use it.
