When buying a food processor, the shopper will have a set of criteria which specifically suits their own standards and priorities. Not every food processor is right for all, and the Kenwood FPM 250 is no exception.

If you are looking for a model that is capable of performing a wide range of functions, is strong and stable, and fits perfectly into most kitchen cupboards, this processor is for you. It has a metal body which stops it from wobbling on the kitchen top, and looks neat and tidy as part of most kitchen designs. It fits nicely into storage cupboards and is quick and easy to use.

If, however, you are looking for an item to complement a small part of your cooking (i.e. just chopping or pureeing a few things), you might decide to look elsewhere. The Kenwood FPM 250’s price is beyond some buyer’s budgets, and the fact that it does not have a small bowl to make smaller-sized portions of food, encourage them to shop elsewhere. For further features and details, read on.

As an easy-to-use, versatile blender, the FPM 250 is perfect. It comes complete with the opportunity to process food in over 20 different ways, making its potential to create a variety of dishes almost endless. Some of the features that we loved about the FPM 250, include the blending, chopping, whisking and dicing options. This covers the preparation of veg, fruit, roast dinners and even quiche-making! Aside from these, however, the FPM 250 is also a great model if you want to make smoothies and soups, and by just quickly changing the functions (which is very easy to do), you can switch to a different method of food preparation.

Appearance-wise, the FPM 250 looks classy and compact – reducing down to a minimal size that can either be placed in a storage cupboard or left on the kitchen surface as required. Its silver, metal base looks elegant and stylish amongst most kitchen designs, helping it to fit in with the overall design of the room. That said, we would love to have seen extra thought being provided for the various attachments that come with the machine, as the accessories could become a problem in terms of storage.

The FPM 250 is fun to use, as it is quick and gets on with the job promptly. Regardless of the setting, the unit’s 750-watt power gets through tough items without any hassle, and this saves you much effort when you are preparing vegetables in particular. Due to the device’s power, dough is easy to make and this speeds up the cooking time for many types of foods such as bread and quiche.

Due to its versatility, the FPM 250 has many different types of settings for grating and slicing, including fine slicing, extra fine slicing, fine grating, thick slicing and thick grating. The number of jobs and effort that this saves you (particularly if you are a keen cook who like to produce a variety of dishes) is priceless. Even if you are just after a bit of grated cheese for a sandwich, however, the model can be easily switched on and accessed as you run the cheese through the machine and grate it quickly.

The FPM 250 is not just adept at preparing food. If you are a creative cocktail maker, or a stunning smoothie-maker, the citrus and centrifugal juicer attachments help you conjure up a new drink in no time! This machine really does allow you to wow your guests saving you time and effort!
