Just like another review, we bought this to combine a blender and Food Processor. I found this tricky to assemble with the right parts before using. You really need to read the instructions carefully. But maybe I'm a bit slow :-) Only used it twice so far. But dissapointed. Once to make a smoothy using the Plastic Blender. It did not blend it that well, I felt the blades are too small. Had to add more liquid than I would normally add in my old blender, to get the solids down to the blade. Second use was to finely grate a Beetroot. Well... the slicing and grating discs are honestly very disappointing and detract from the overall functionality of the machine. Large amounts of food are unprocessed by the grating disc, it misses large chunks that fall down the side of the disk into the bowl, what the ?? so then you have to pick through the grated and sliced stuff for chunks. By the time you’ve done that you could have just grated by hand. You don't have to be an engineer to realise the gap between the Disk and the the walls of the bowl are far to great, it just spins big chunks of the food past the Disk into the bowl. I guess having paid money for this we will persevere for a bit. I would advise caution if you're looking at one of these.
Follow-up · We did not persevere, we have packed it up and will give it away to op shop. We were blending Beetroot, Brocoli, Celerey, Ice, with water or Yoghurt. Basically different smoothie combinations. We have gone back to using our stand alone blender which is a Kuchef Super Blend 1000, Blends anything and everything, but the issue we had was the large plastic jug had pieces of plastic scraped from the inside, my guess, possibly from blending ice cubes. We were not happy with the thought of having bits of plastic in our drinks. We have since ordered a new jug from the supplier "Uncle Bills" Australia, that was 3 weeks ago and still no jug :-( This Kuchef came with 1 large jug and two small jugs. We are using the small jugs in the meantime. The reason we bought the Food processor, besides the issue of the plastic, was, we were trying to limit the number of kitchen devices by having one device that is a Food Processor and Blender. We are sticking to having two kitchen devices.
Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $199.

Purchased this unit from KITCHEN WAREHOUSE and delivered promptly. Contacted Kenwood Product Support and organised registration. Two days later I removed the unit from all the packaging and tried to install the unit, I found it impossible to make it work and had no power. Contacted Kenwood Support, not particularly helpful, I was sent an email advising that I should send them a video showing the issues.
I then contacted KITCHEN WAREHOUSE to check on the issue and the woman I spoke to on the phone was extremely helpful, she talked me through checking this and checking that and spent about ten minutes on the phone with me. Then, it finally worked!!!
This unit is very hard to install there are only pictures and no detail or written instructions on the installing of the various parts of the unit. This makes installation very frustrating.
When researching on purchase of another food processor, I could not find any review information on this particular unit i.e. FDP65 WHITE MULTIPRO EXPRESS FOOD PROCESSOR. I have no idea if this is a new model or a deleted model.
One good thing about this package, it includes a pouch for storage of all the various blades etc. Be aware that it is likely to take time to get this unit work successfully and you can use the unit. Having arthritic hands, it was extremely hard to get all the points connected to make it work..
I am withholding a full review of the unit until I have the time, and the energy, to use the various options with this unit.
