Kenwood Food Processor Wins Good Housekeeping Institue Great Gadget Award

The Kenwood Multipro Libra Food Processor has won the ‘Great Gadget', Award in the sought after Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) Good Buy Awards. The awards, which have been running since 2001, celebrate the very best of new innovative products, covering a wide range of categories from blenders to bicycles!

Recently awarded the GHI accreditation, the Multipro Libra Food Processor was described by judges as ‘a ground breaking product that saves time and cuts down on washing up. No kitchen should be without one'. The judging panel included representatives from the GHI, Aggie MacKenzie, presenter of How Clean Is Your House, and Helen Peavitt, Curator of Consumer Technology at the Science Museum .

The Kenwood Multipro Libra is a top of the range, 1000W food processor, manufactured in diecast aluminium to give extra weight and stability, with a built in kitchen scale function for added convenience. With an easy to read blue digital display, the Multipro Libra allows users to measure quantities straight into the bowl weighing each individually, as they progress their recipe. This unique processor is the first of its kind, providing increased convenience for consumers and reduced preparation and cleaning time.

A unique patented dual speed drive system provides a variety of speed options, including a pulse option - with a total bowl capacity of 3.0L. The glass liquidiser and metal centrifugal juicer, combined with the metal handle of the food bowl, give the product a high quality and solid finish - a stunning addition to any kitchen. The Multipro Libra benefits from 40 additional functions available through a range of different attachments.
