Kenwood MultiPro Home 1000W FDP642BK

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 slicing and grating discs 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, which is what we now do. Disappointed and do not recommend purchasing. Show details

I found it great to do most things.. just selling it now cos moving interstate Show details

Faulty the 2nd time I used it – Used it once and it was ok. Then the 2nd time I used it, the product stop working. After reading the booklets etc. It still doesnt work. Will never buy this brand again. Terrible product. Constant coded showing up when I've only used it once.

Waste of money – First Kenwood product I hate. It overheat, doesn't processor well. Don't recommend mutlipro. Waste of money.

Terrible – There is a tiny spring in the bottom of the blender that falls out every time its washed, the first 3 times I managed to save it but last time I lost the silly thing and now cannot use the blender at all very disappointed. And the food processor bowl leaks all round not very good will not continue to but kenwood food processors. Show details

Good name cheap quality – This product I buy from good guys 1 year ago used 1 time, Start leaking from bottom after i use 2nd time now its not under warranty. Very cheap quality under big name. Show details

Slicing / dicing discs are too small - design fault – Slicing / dicing discs are too small, alot of what you are processing is just missed and goes into the bowl. Unsure how to make it work properly, but seems to be a consistent finding. Blender is fine though. Show details

Do not waste your money and time ! – Looks good from the outside, but then I noticed how light the base is. As soon as I put all parts together and start blending for the first time, the base shook very hard and yup, like other previous comments, the item leaks out. I know you meant to put the disc to stop it from leaking, but then the food get stuck to the disc instead of being… Read more

blended/chopped. This has to be the worst food processor I have ever come across ! The blades seem sharp, but somehow to still fail to chop ingredients. I notice that the position of the blades is the problem as there is way too much gap between the bottom of the bowl and the lowest blade.

You have to physically hold the base of the machine whilst the machine is running so it doesn't fall out of your bench. Really puts a bad Kenwood brand perception as I won't be going anywhere near this brand from now on.

Spare your money buy something else – I bought this food processor for the power of its motor. The motor us powerful. And this is great. However the way the bowl mounts on the motor support is the most stupid thing I have ever seen in a good processor. The food or dough you process will overflow through the blade and leak into the motor. The blade attachement is completely… Read more

unpractical and will mess up your kitchen when you want to remove the bowl and transfer the liquid or the dough you just processed. Buy something else this is my advice

Not impressed – I purchased this product because of the brand. It is noisy, the blades are too small for the bowl so there is a lot of food that doesn't get processed. The blender leaks. Show details

Not a good performer – I am a keen cook, so I thought upgrading from an ancient food processor, to one with multi tools would be awesome. But I'm disappointed. If trying to process food to make a paste, it takes a long time and I spend a lot of time opening the lid, pushing food down back into the bowl and onto the knife blade to try to get it to chop. Unless I am doing… Read more

a big amount, the large bowl just flies the food to the sides of the bowl and doesn't touch it or draw it back in. The blender doesn't draw it down into the blades and food just sits, so making a green curry paste has to be done using the grinding mill (very messy and tedious). The citrus juicer attachment is very large, so if oranges or other smaller fruit used, it splits the skin, plus it flies the juice everywhere because it is simply too fast even on the slow setting. The grinding mill is great though. And the discs are okay but my old machine of 25 years did it better and with half the effort. And the large bowl formed a crack within weeks of purchase. It was replaced under warranty. Kenwood did honour that. A concern is the heat generated on the spindle where it connects into the lid. This is metal and the friction gets it very hot in seconds. I felt it burn my hand when I placed my hand on the lid. That's not really safe if it is conducting heat like that. The spindle design is a menace. So many times I have knocked it flying as I lifted the bowl off the base. It just does not work how I expected it to.

The size of the slicing disc relative to the bowl is mystifying! – When trying to use slicing discs, a lot of the food goes between the disc and the bowl unsliced. I have to pick through the vegies to remove unsliced veggies. Really disappointed. Am i doing something wrong? Really disappointed. Show details

Not a user friendly blender – When you turn on the blender its starts to vibrate then the bottom starts to loosen then the liquid leeks out all over the bench top we are not happy after spending $450.00 to get this product. Show details

Good Product but no storage case – its a good processor and does it job ..but keeping it arranged without a case is a task.. unfortunately they do not give it for multi pro home models when ppl at home would require more arranging and storage to make life easy .. Rest it does work as advertised.  Show details ·  1

2nd Purchase! – First purchase the bowl wouldn't unlock so couldn't remove & there was no power, returned to the Good Guys who were very helpful and replaced the machine. Second purchase is working but the bowl still doesn't fit properly & have now chipped the base of the bowl trying to fit, - wouldn't recommend machine.  Show details

Powerful and does the work – Everything except for the bit that is called the 'detachable drive shaft' that sits inside the bowl and sort of connects to the motor on the base is good about this machine. I do not quite understand why it has to be detachable! It makes life harder! It definitely isn't as sleek as it is advertised as! quite the opposite, in fact! In spite of these two inconvenience, it does a really good job and worth what I paid!  Show details ·  1

Absolutely a must – I got it as a present and I had no idea how it would make my life sooooooo much easier. You can pretty much make salads in a minute, the blades are great. Its not overly noisy and I have no downsides so far. I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know! 5 stars  Show details ·  1

Good product. Need improvement – We purchased this product last year, and my wife has been using it since then quite regularly. Strong motor and process the food properly. The attachments works well, but no proper storage for those attachments provided by the maker, so it fills up our drawer and get quite messy. Storage should be provided as it's not an overly expensive thing,… Read more

and will increase it's value much.

The only other downside is that the meat processed goes outside the container, to where the spindle is. It gets messy even when only processing maybe half the container. This should be improved.

But other than that, it's a good food processor. Would recommend it to friend.

Versatile product – Love love love this product. I love that i can cut or shred all the different ingredients for a salad, mix a cake, make a smoothie all with the one appliance. Fiddly to wash up as there are so many parts but still easier than washing up a number of different appliances. Sturdy product.  Show details

Don’t waste your hard earned money on this – This is just the worst product which I have ever used, the sound of the motor is so high that it might render you deaf, the attachments like the blender and slicer are good for nothing. Would seriously suggest not to go for this product, had taken it back to the showroom, being convinced about the sad profuct quality I was offered a full refund.  Show details

Very good tidy kitchen appliance – As my wife was asking me to get her some sort of food processor I was holding out for any good deal either on Black Friday or on Christmas sales. Fortunately we got a good deal through MYER and bought Kenwood MultiPro Home - Silver FDP646SI The build quality is good, lots of attachments but the most satisfying thing is we get all in one action… Read more

machine like grinder, blender, mixer even citrus presser (Juicer) as well. Its too early to tell how good is the performance but once or twice when it has been used till now it has performed excellently.

Overall very happy with the purchase.

Make my life easy – I am really satisfied the fact that I no longer needed to cut out my veggies for our daily meals but using the Kenwood MultiPro Home it help me a lot to prepare meal for 5 members of my household. Easy to use and fast make my cooking and preparing food done easily.  Show details

awesome for large quantities – an awesome food processor that does the lot. cuts shreds mixes purees and so compact large motoer makes it a breeze to crush nuts. light weight is easy to store but with its elegant look why put it away. Looks great on the bench. For the price is a deal  Show details

I love this processor – The larger bowl is handy to make larger batches without overflow. Worth the extra money i spent. Its more stylish than most machines. Its easy to use and its powerful motor make it a fast job each time. I dont like one of its vegie chopping attachments. It makes all sorts of tiny unformed shapes you wouldnt use.. Although if you dont… Read more

mind varying sizes you could use it for soup.

Easy to put together and to change functions. It comes with a cardboard box i store all attachments in, except the chopper blade, i leave in the machine. It doesnt store its own attachments.

It has quite a large base which you would think would stabalise it when chopping but its a light machine do when doing the hard stuff you have to hold it still eg (chopping dates).
