A good food processor should let you handle different food preparation with ease. But what would be better is to find a food processor that does all that without costing you much money. The Kenwood FP120 is a perfect example of such.
This food processor comes at a very low price, and anybody can purchase it without worrying about it messing going beyond their budget. Even with its low price, this fella is still very functional, it easily surpasses most food processors out there.
What else is good about this product? Here is a review to give you more details.
Kenwood FP120 Overview
The FP120 will let you handle multiple kitchen tasks from mixing cakes, beating eggs, slicing vegetables, or even whipping cream. Plus, it is a compact model that won’t eat much of your space. It might not have the most powerful motor, but it still does the job. The capacity of this model makes it a good pick for a house of three or fewer people. We also loved the friendly control panel that doesn’t give you any headache when you need to control it.
Features And Functions Of The FP120
Design
If you have purchased a Kenwood product before, you might have realized that the brand is not always about offering stylish and modern units, in terms of design. Some of their food processors come with a classic design, but they are made to work with a modern approach.
Kenwood FP120 comes with a classic design that doesn’t look bad at all. It will still make a statement in your kitchen. But the best part is that the food processor is made with a compact design. Finding a kitchen with a confined space in the UK is a norm, so this one would easily fit in any kitchen space out there.
Capacity
We wouldn’t recommend this model to a large family, especially because it doesn’t offer much in terms of capacity. The Kenwood FP120 comes with a working bowl with a 1.4-liter capacity. This one will then offer a dry working capacity of 0.8kg and a liquid working capacity of 0.8 liters. Clearly, that wouldn’t suit a family setting. But if you don’t have a large family or you live with your partner, this model would be a great pick for you.
Motor/Blades
The food processor is loaded with a decent motor that will handle your small tasks with ease. This model comes with a 400W motor that allows you to easily prepare your food ingredients. As long as you don’t force it to crush nuts or ice cubes, you will enjoy working with this model. It doesn’t operate with a lot of vibrations or noise either.
With the blades, they are made of stainless steel, and they should serve you for a decently long time. The blade will easily chop or puree your ingredients.
Safety Feature
Another thing to love about the FP120 food processor is that it is designed to assure you of your safety as you work with it. It is equipped with an interlock mechanism, which will only run if the bowl is safely locked with the base. If it isn’t locked, the motor will not be activated to start running.
We also have to mention that the food processor comes with nonslip feet that will prevent it from moving around as the motor is running. This assures you of the stability of the entire unit.
User Experience
There is a single turn knob that lets you choose either between pulse and the 1-speed setting. This means that the food processor should not be overloaded with heavy tasks. Nevertheless, it also means that you will have an easy time when working with this model.
Besides that, you will find it easy to clean the parts, which are also dishwasher-safe.
Pros
- Compact and space-saving design
- Easy to use and clean
- Nonslip feet keep it stable
- Available at a low price point
- Works with a safety lock mechanism
Cons
- Not ideal for handling hard tasks
- Only offers a single speed setting
Conclusion
The Kenwood FP120 would make a good pick if you need a food processor to help you with the chopping of onions, pureeing baby food, or other light tasks. It cannot manage demanding tasks like kneading dough for bread or crushing ice cubes. But if you don’t need it for that, you will be good to go. Best of all, it is a budget-friendly model.
Is it true that you cannot operate the knife blades for, for instance, making an all-in-one sponge cake for more than 20 secs max?
