This was a replacement for my trusty Kenwood processor that I'd had for years. I thought it was a bargain; it was a little smaller, but looked smart, and had a liquidiser which the old one didn't. I wish I'd never seen that liquidiser, if you more than half filled it it never got smooth, the blades only seemed to move the liquid to half way up; instead it made a whining noise and overheated. I simply don't think it's powerful enough. Likewise, the processor side seemed to struggle to make breadcrumbs and chop vegetables, which the old one had done with ease. You get masses of bits that you have to find room to store, and mine completely gave up the ghost in about a year and a half. I'm now looking for another processor, and won't be considering a Kenwood.
