Good machine, many functions, price ok.
Previously I had only small choppers, my last I had bought on purpose with a glass bowl has fallen down and broken.
Therefore I needed something new.
I mainly chop nuts or make pesto or hummus with it.
Since I like to bake and don't like to grate carrots by hand I thought I could try something bigger like this food processor.
I surfed for hours on Amazon and read reviews elsewhere and finally decided on this model.
Where I must say that the decision also has to do with the name Kennwood, from this brand I already have a boss with which I am satisfied.
What have I tried so far:
Grating:
Ruebli and cabbage for a coleslaw. Ruebli went quite quickly, for cabbage it probably needs some practice to choose the right grater.
In contrast to other machines (where I had read about it) no large pieces remain. A few Rüebli pieces are already stuck between lid and Raffel, but as I said I have no practice in how that should be handled at all.
Chopping:
Wild garlic pesto, has worked great. Especially the bowl is very large.
Blend:
Banana Yogurt Smoothie. Daughter was thrilled.
Small shredder:
I honestly don't know exactly what to do with this. I put some cilantro in it but it didn't do much good. Maybe it is only meant for nuts?
Whisk:
Whipped cream made. With my boss it always takes a larger portion of liquid to get anything done. Since it works here with less much better.
Conclusion:
I am satisfied. For my needs, the machine fits. The washing up is very fast.
What confuses me a bit, and therefore the 1 star deduction, according to the manual should be limited to 30-60 seconds depending on the accessories the running time of the machine. But that I possibly usual ... I do not always read such things so closely.
Despite the "compact" nature I find it has a lot of parts that need to be stowed somehow. Assembled with lid it does not fit down in my closet.
The bowl is plastic, I would have preferred to have this made of glass. But the blender and the small chopper are made of glass. Kneading I have not tried, I would not do with it. For me, the bowl is too small.
The assembly is easy, but I had to try 5x or so with the switch on until I realized that the lid must really be engaged otherwise nothing happens. The whole lid system seems a bit tricky to me and I am still very careful that nothing breaks off.Pro

Meets my expectations
I took it especially to make the oilseed butter with and it works very well. It takes a little patience, a few minutes more to mix but the peanut butter, almonds, sesame (tahini) become almost liquid. In the large mixing bowl you can also make very good smoothies, in the small bowl you can make sauces and with the different graters you can use it when you have a lot of vegetables to cut up for mixed salads.

This is an amazing food processor and a great price
When I ordered this food processor I only expected the food processor but. I did not expect all the other attachments!! Blender, grinder, dough mixer, cake maker, orange squeezer ! I was really surprised and delighted and was able to get rid of two extra appliances at home because this one does so much!! The blender is a strong glass bowl which is a big positive. So far I can’t find any fault with this appliance. It’s a must have and does just about everything!
Excellent

Pro
- Excellent food processor, very powerful, compact and easy to store. Highly recommend it!
Robust, many accessories, but a bit weak
You should not let the device run longer than 30s, otherwise it overheats. Some things can unfortunately not be prepared in such a short time.
The price-performance ratio is basically not bad, but I wish the device was a bit stronger. The S-knife would be an advantage if it had additional blades, so that you could chop better. The nut blender would basically be very good and works cleanly and quickly. However, it has already pulled me twice the seal into the knife (for whatever reason). I am now looking for the replacement part for it, but can't find it. For my budget at the time, it was a great buy. Today I would buy something better for more money.
Vegetable grating goes very well.
Bread dough I have never made. Can not imagine that the device is strong enough for this. Also, the bowl is probably too small.Pro
