I bought this Kenwood Prospero after reading the Which reports, and to replace my very old Kenwood Chef. Oh how I regret it. This is still quite a bulky machine but flimsy. The lever to raise the arm is at the back, which means getting coated in...

I have had this machine for over a year now and bought on basis of the which review. I concur with other reviews, this machine moves around a lot especially if the mix is at all stiff. The cover allows more escapes than I expected but the biggest issue...

I bought this item on the basis of a Which review, but it's performance leaves me questioning the reliability of the Which process. My first use was to knead a small quantity of dough, which it had difficulty with. The hinged top was bouncing up and...

As others have said the splashguard is not very effective - clouds of icing sugar all over the kitchen! I have had no problem with it kneading dough - I have produced some lovely loaves, however because it is quite light when the bowl is full I have to...

I have had this machine for a couple of years now and can only say I am disappointed. The plastic on the processor & liquidiser goblet have split and chunks broke off the lid of the processor. If great care is not taken in removing the liquidizer, the...

My Other Half bought me this mixer as a replacement for an old Kenwood which, while still working perfectly, was more of a food processor and I was looking for a more specialised mixer - this fits the bill perfectly and does everything I wanted it to...
