I find that because it looks so good I leave it on the worktop where it is ready to use whenever I want. I have a slicer/shredder attachment that is a real bonus, and find the food processor very useful too.
from Almada, Portugal on 5/6/2008
I use it to make all sorts of bread, croissants, chocolate cake, vegetables with codfish and mayonaise, and all my children's birthday party menu.

Attachments easy to fit and clean. Good job of mixing, especially with flexible beater, though occasional scrape down helps. Buttercream and cake mixes are wonderfully light. Dough comes out quite well (eeled it off hook a few times to allow thorough kneading). Fairly solid machine. Main con: motor is noisy, whole item vibrates and my toddler begs me to switch off the noise!
from Barcelona, Spain on 5/4/2008
This is my second Kenwood, and its very nice, super quite, and powerfull motor.. and high quality.. the best machine..the Roll Royce of Mixers ..
from East Midlands on 4/21/2008
I purchased this product as I have always loved my Mum's Kenwood chef (It is now 46years old and still going strong.) I love my machine my only critisism is that it is not quite as sturdy as Mum's version!!! I look forward to years of use from this very welcome addition to my kitchen. [...]
from Birmingham, UK on 4/19/2008
I have used the Kenwood Chef for cake making, making smoothies, chopping items etc. It seems to manage all these tasks admirably. The only minor complaint that I have is that it can be quite noisy.
from Northumberland on 4/15/2008
My first Kenwood Chef was purchased nearly 40 years ago and the recent purchase is the third. Each model was an improvement although the basic concept for mixing was the same. Never had a problem mechanically and each model was replaced after becoming 'worn out'.

from Cardiff, Wales on 4/13/2008
I make bread, quiches, pies, cakes, biscuits, sausages, sauces, and soups ... all much easier with my new Kenwood Chef and various attachments. I had my last Kenwood for about thirty years, but this new version is even better ...and more chic!
from York UK on 4/10/2008
A brilliant all rounder, worth waiting thirty years for.

from Norfolk on 4/6/2008
The flexible beater is really good for making cakes. I haven't had the KM010 for long but I have to say I am disappointed with how noisy it is. It sounds like something is grinding especially when it has a larger load.
from hampshire on 4/3/2008
useful for Cake and bread mix. convenient size with processor and blender attachments
from Stranraer, Scotland on 4/2/2008
Excellent for mixing bread dough, scone mix, biscuit bases. You name it, this can do it! Just like my Mum used to have for years, and probably even better. Brilliant.
from Bridgwater, UK on 4/1/2008
for make bread, pasta, and many pattiserie, cakes, and pastries. and for procesor food and liquidser.
hard use
from Shrewsbury Shropshire on 3/30/2008
Looks good on the work surface, is used every day for a variety of jobs, saving time and energy. Very heavy to lift.
from London on 3/30/2008
This machine handles everything thrown at it literally! It's a pleasure to use for all jobs little or large, it excells at bread and cake mixing. The supplied tools are perfect for there intended uses. Strong build quality means that it should last 50 years like my last Kenwood Chef mixer.
from stafford on 3/30/2008
just put everything in and it does it for you. Well not quite you still have to put it into the tins & oven!
from belfast on 3/30/2008
I use my km10 for cakes, pavlovas, veg prep, purees, smoothies
from Hampshire, England on 3/28/2008
I was so impressed that I ordered one for my daughter. I have had my previous Kenwood for 35 years.
from London Uk on 3/26/2008
Rediculously good! great price, great machine, [...]. this is at least [$] cheaper than anywhere else, i don't know how they do it! i've taken the kenwood insurance that they offer in the box £50 for 5 years against accidental damage too which is great knowing me, also bought additional plastic bowl for £18 which is great especially because its lighter than the one that comes with it so you can weigh stuff streight into the bowl. Buy it, screw Kitchenaid, this is the daddy!
from Taunton, Somerset on 3/19/2008
It's just Kenwood that cant be beaten
from Leicester on 3/18/2008
Used it for a range of uses and handled all well.
from Shropshire, UK on 3/16/2008
This is our 3rd Chef in 40 years. The last one lasted 20 odd years so this should see us out!! Very impressed by the powerful motor. The dough kneading is first class and will make (just) 3 x 2lb loaves in one go. Cake mixing is also improved and the flexible K beater is a DREAM. The food processor is very good and has made our purpose built one almost redundant. Plenty of power for our mincer too. [...]
from Devon UK on 3/15/2008
ok, my old Kenwood has been in daily use for 40 years and has served me well. I haven't had time to give this new Chef a good testing yet but have used it for pastry making, sponge cakes, batter and soup. Of course it 'feels' a bit different. It's quieter, the speeds have more subtle adjustment and the body feels heavy and rugged and 'up to the job'. It also looks extremely smart in the kitchen. I would like to list drawbacks but so far I haven't found any. I have to say I get a buzz of pleasure using it - and I hate cooking!
from Oxford, UK on 3/12/2008
This is the best machine i have bought. Very stylish, compact and more importantly very usefull. You can do almost anything in this machine. Chopping,mincing,dough making, pasta making, grinding. It also had liquidizer attachemnt which makes excellent smoothies.My only suggestion was that some the attachemnt such as mincing and mill should have been included in the machine rather than to buy seperately.[...]
from East Sussex on 3/5/2008
The appliances that come as part of the package are great eg I regularly use the food processor to slice vegetables, its very efficient and easy to use (even the males in the family like using it).
I use the Chef itself to make cakes and no one's grumbling about the results! Given that I haven't made any cakes since I was at school that's no mean feat.
from Cumbria, UK on 2/24/2008
The Kenwood has an ideal capacity for a family sized job. The attachments included are all useful. Unfortunately some old attachments from other kenwood products have a differnet connection, so cannot be used.
from Tewkesbury on 2/20/2008
Principaly bought for Baking cakes have been using chefs since 5 as Mum had one. Now more versatile and quieter. Have thrown away 5 kitchen appliances that are just not needed.
from Sheffield on 2/18/2008
Simple to use and timelessly elegant, this is a truly amazing machine. It does all the hard work kitchen jobs quickly and with ease. Comes with a wide variety of attachments + can be added on to for further tasks, with even more attachments. Its well worth the money, and is a real asset to a busy woman like me who likes to cook and eat fresh healthy food. Get one....you wont regret it!!!
from London on 2/18/2008
This product is great for making cakes, bread or other mixing uses. It also looks fantastic and would definately recommend it to anyone! 5*!!
from Lincoln UK on 2/18/2008
This is the very best Kenwood Chef I have used. Robust, quiet, powerful and all the quality you expect from Kenwood. I really LOVE the flexible beater. That has sorted the only gripe I've had with the Chef as now I can cream butter and sugar without having to keep stopping to scrape the mixture back down the bowl! If you've got an old Kenwood and can't afford a new one - get yourself the flexible beater!
from Ormskirk, UK on 2/12/2008
The KM010 is the ideal food mixer / processor. Every application used to date has been a success and what is more, the clean up is a breeze.
from horsham on 2/11/2008
I was able to replace my tired old kenwood chef that had served me well for twenty years with this fantastic model. It is heavier and doesn't move even when beating like crazy. I can knock up fantastic cakes in minutes. A blender and food processor were thrown in. The price here is the best one I could find[...]
from Cheshire, England on 2/11/2008
Looks good, all attachements work well. Easy to clean. Why didn't i buy this sooner?
from Liverpool on 2/9/2008
This article was bought for a gift. The recipients are well pleased with the goods - have made cakes, batters and soups. Have purchased the spice grinder attachment.
from London, UK on 2/6/2008
Best buy ever - should have bought a Kenwood a long time ago. Has made baking so much easier and all the attachments makes it the perfect all-in-one kitchen machine. I only regret not buying the Kenwood with the larger mixing bowl.
from Belgium on 2/6/2008
[...]Bought mainly for breadmaking and cakemaking, but has been in almost daily use in the 3 or so weeks since it arrived. Whisked a very smooth batter for Shrove Tuesday pancakes last night.PROS: Wonderful set of accessories available, both those (like the glass blender) included in the box and those available at extra cost. It's just a question of choosing which ones to buy first.CONS: Some slight vibration when kneading or mixing very heavy loads. Neither excessive nor annoying, but suggests that the mixer (base?) should ideally be heavier.
from Bridgwater UK on 2/5/2008
My family use the Kenwood Chef for years and years, no this its my 2do Kenwood, and its fantastic, very quit, high quality and more powerfull, i recommend for anybody like cooking, pateserie etc etc..

Having done a lot of research into kitchen mixers this product does not disappoint. It is easy use, yet powerful enough to cope with any task in the domestic kitchen. As well as that it looks great too. This is the second time I have bought something made by Kenwood and would definitely recommend them as a brand.
from Amsterdam, NL on 1/17/2008
It was a gift for my wife and she was very happy to receive it as she is very passionate at cooking and preparing new recipes every time.
from Herts, UK on 1/6/2008
Replacement for old Chef which served us well for decades. This looks stylish, works well and hopefully will last as well.
from UK on 12/28/2007
Like glass liquidiser
from Knutsford on 12/23/2007
The product is robust and will stand the test of time, makes superb syllabubs and cake mixes.
the kenwood chef makes life so easy , its like having a second pair of hands in the kichen does the work in half the time which is great that means you have more time for other things ...
from Essex, England on 11/21/2007
I was really impressed with this from the minute I got it out of the box, it is fantastic for making fresh Pasta from start to finish and is a very quite and compact machine.
from Rotterdam, NL on 11/20/2007
This machine is amazing, I just cook more and more. It even becomes a pleasure for my wife to cook.
The machine is permanently installed in the kitchen, just need to remove the Dust Cover, plug in attachments, and it does the job.
Don't need plenty of machines everywhere in the kitchen (it is a pity the Kenwood Chef does not do the coffee by the way...).
from UK on 11/20/2007
Does everything I need it to
from Northamptonshire on 11/20/2007
I am delighted with this machine, with just two cons.
The liquidizer is difficult to locate onto the motor.
The base of the bowl is difficult to clean and dry. I would have preferred a solid base.
from Llansantffraid, Powys on 11/20/2007
This machine really takes the hard work out of beating and whisking. My only criticism is that the bread dough I made with it wasn't as good as my own hand-kneaded but maybe I did something wrong. I'll give the bread one more go. Looking forward to making the Christmas cake and pudding with it.
from Liverpool on 10/29/2007
I have had a A900 series chef for about 30 years, and when it finally gave up the ghost I chose to upgrade to this model.
This is better then the 900 series in many ways as the speed control is far more accurate, and the low starting point means that you don't get a lot of flour flying everywhere when you get going. I was also pleased to find that most, but not all of my attachments fit this new machine and the new ones did not cost too much. I bought the Juicer attachment with it, and so am saving on some worktop space too.
Its really perfect for me and I would imagine anyone that does a lot of cooking and baking at home.
