jess1merlin Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I am off to the shops tomorrow in search of a new food processor but am not sure which one to go for. I had my last one for years and that make does not even seem to exist anymore so I would be greatful for any recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Probably a bit late now....but I have a Kenwood FP688 Multi Pro, no longer available, but it has been very reliable and has loads of attachments. It has a small bowl which fits in the top of the larger bowl and is excellent for small amounts. I'm not sure which of the current ones is similar....I'll have a look. Similar to this one http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/Products/Processing-Blending-Mixing/Food-Processors/Silver-Multi-Pro-Food-Processor1/ I'm sure I bought mine from Argos.

Cinnamon Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I got a Magimix Cuisine 5200 for Christmas last year & it is fantastic. I picked it because it always seemed to be top of any polls they did. I noticed Jamie & Hugh both had it in their kitchen during their Christmas shows too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hope you managed to get a good one today, Sue. Please keep suggestions coming everyone, it's something I'm researching too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I must admit I'm a Kenwood fan, but my advice is probably a bit dated. The food processor I've got contains both a big bowl for the general blitzing etc., but also a place on top where things like a liquidiser can go. Moreover, the bit on top is the same shape as the top of my Kenwood Chef, so I can mix and match between food processor and food mixer. Both have been so reliable they've lasted about 15 years so far, and Kenwood's spare parts provision is so good that when attachments have worn out (like the rubber seal on one of the liquidisers), I've been able to get replacement bits with no bother at all.

jess1merlin Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Thanks for your replies. Have been out today and come home with a Kenwood Multi Pro 730 which seems to do everything I need and more. Not sure I will ever use all the attachments but it does have a large bowl and also a smaller bowl that fits on top which is what I was looking for. It was also in the sale!!
