Take this into consideration before your purchase
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 910’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.
The Features
Appearance-wise, the FPM 910 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 910 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 910 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 Conclusion
There are only a couple of negative elements to this processor. It could be too small for some users – especially if they have larger families. Some reports suggest that it is tougher to clean, and if you are using more than one of the attachments, this could become problematic. We would also like to have seen more storage features for the various attachments that come with the unit.
To summarize, the Kenwood FPM 910 is a neat little hard-working model that has the potential to save you hours of your life. We would recommend this unit to almost every household, though it does depend on your budget and your criteria for buying.
