Kenwood Multipro Go FDP23.380GY Storm Blue

My first impression of this food processor was immediately positive. The appliance looks modern and is a real eye-catcher on the kitchen counter. The color is stylish and the whole thing feels sturdy and solid, as you would expect from Kenwood. At first, I did have to get used to assembling the various parts. It is mainly a matter of looking closely at the pictures, because, frankly, I find the instruction manual a bit brief. I also expected a bit more explanation online. That is definitely an area for improvement.

As soon as you figure out how everything works, you notice how great this appliance is. Cutting and grating vegetables is really super fast. Carrots are processed into slices or grated within a few seconds, and you can effortlessly and super fast cut bell peppers into beautiful, long strips. Ideal for a healthy snack or a quick meal. Making salads, fresh pesto, vegetable spreads, and shakes is also very simple. For our family, with sporty children who like to eat healthily, this is a real godsend. Operation is simple: you slide the button forward and the device immediately starts working. However, you do need to pay attention, because it really goes lightning fast. The blades are super sharp, so caution is really important. Everything clicks together securely and you can feel that it is firmly attached. Additionally, the device takes up little space and the cord can be conveniently stored around the bottom, with a clever little ring so you can also secure it halfway through.

What I also like is the 360° Express Serve function, which allows you to process larger quantities directly in a bowl next to it. The first time I used it, it didn't go entirely smoothly and the carrot slices flew all over the kitchen, but once you get the hang of it, it works very conveniently.

There are a few minor downsides, though. For instance, paprika becomes very fine and somewhat watery when grating. Also, the amount of dough you can make is on the small side for a larger family, and you shouldn't let the device run for too long at a time. The motor smoked a little at first, but that disappeared after using it a few times, which is apparently normal for new appliances. Later on, however, it still smelled sometimes. The motor could be a bit more powerful, but then the price would have been higher as well. All in all, a very nice and fast kitchen helper that I use almost daily.

I was a bit overwhelmed when this product arrived. A box full of various attachments, cutting surfaces, etc. The manual is very compact; fortunately, I found more user information online, and I soon figured out how everything works and what to use each part for. Once you know this, it is a top-notch product. It is used here almost every evening. Everything is beautifully sliced and ready for use in no time. The parts are easy to clean, and many can go in the dishwasher.

The food processor slices/grates quickly; the blades are razor-sharp, so you have to be careful with them. However, the safety mechanism works well; the machine won't turn on until it is properly closed.

The included blender is absolutely fantastic; my son has already made several smoothies. It blends frozen pieces well too, and the smoothie is ready in no time. This food processor takes up very little space on the counter, and very handy, you can easily roll up the excess cord in the base of the product—great! So it really takes some figuring out and trying things out, but once you know how everything works, it is a top-notch product!

From soup to salad, from healthy shakes to iced coffee, and from baby food to pizza dough. With the Kenwood Multipro Go, it’s ready in no time. What stands out immediately is the sturdy blender cup. You can easily read and measure quantities on it. The blender is in no way inferior to its well-known competitor. What I personally consider a plus is that the lid is much easier to open and close. The drinking lid is also pleasant to use; you can easily secure the flap while drinking. The blender grinds frozen fruit and ice cubes effortlessly.

Another plus point of the Kenwood Multipro Go is the option to choose between two bowls: a bowl for the food processor and an “Express serve” bowl. Ideal for when you are making a salad or soup. The “Express serve” bowl fits perfectly over a bowl or pan so that your chopped vegetables go straight into it. A disadvantage of the “Express Serve” bowl is the hole right in the middle of the bottom. This requires some care when removing the bowl from the appliance to prevent food from falling through. Additionally, some vegetables remain in the bowl that are not always processed perfectly.

The Kenwood chops, slices, grates, and blends with ease. Carrots, onions, potatoes, celery, bananas… even tomatoes... no problem at all. It is great for making flatbread dough in no time. It is truly surprising how quickly it is made.

The appliance has two settings for both the bowls and the blender: Pulse and simply “on”. This works very well when preparing various ingredients. The manual provides clear instructions for this.

It is also nice that the manual indicates how much and for how long you can grind/chop/slice certain vegetables and fruits.

The Kenwood Multipro Go is compact and stands out with its sleek design in a trendy color. As a result, it takes up little space on your countertop or in your kitchen cabinet. The cord is long enough and has a "stop" so you can easily clamp the cord around the device when not in use.

I found the noise produced by the Kenwood during use to be average, but it is worth mentioning. After all, some people might find it annoying.

Additionally, it is good to know that the device needs to cool down regularly during use, depending on the purpose at that moment. This can also be perceived as disruptive.

After use, almost all parts can go in the dishwasher. Cleaning by hand is also easy: just rinse and you're done.

All in all, this Kenwood Multipro Go gets an absolute "Yes" from me!
