A food processor and a blender perform different tasks. A food processor with a bowl is particularly suitable for dough, cream and whisked egg whites. A countertop blender or hand blender, on the other hand, processes liquids, soups, sauces and smoothies. The right choice therefore depends less on a high wattage than on your recipes, available worktop space and accessories.
Many disappointing purchases result from three common marketing traps:
For a food processor for baking, torque and controllability are more important than an isolated wattage figure. A dough mixer should be used at low to medium speed for firm bread or pizza dough. A pulse function is useful for short, controlled bursts, but it does not replace an appropriate operating time.
With a countertop blender, smoothie blender or multifunction blender, blade design, container construction and the permitted running time are also important. A device with 900 or 1000 watts may be suitable for frozen ingredients, but it should be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A food processor with a stainless-steel bowl is practical for many households because stainless steel absorbs little odour, is robust and easy to clean. In addition to the volume, check the maximum quantity for:
A 5- or 6-litre bowl can be useful for families. If you mainly prepare smaller quantities, a compact 4-litre bowl saves worktop space and weight. A blender container with a capacity of 1.2 to 1.5 litres, on the other hand, is better suited to drinks, soups or sauces for several people.
A food processor needs a permanent or regularly available place on your worktop. So measure not only the worktop itself, but also the height beneath wall cabinets. According to the product information, the Kenwood Go is 30 cm high and designed to be operated from the front. This can be important in smaller kitchens.
A hand mixer can be used in an existing bowl and then stored away compactly. A hand blender works directly in a saucepan or measuring jug and is practical for soups, purées and sauces. Look for removable parts, dishwasher-safe components and a clear separation between the wipe-clean motor housing and washable attachments.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For occasional small quantities of dough, a hand mixer with dough hooks may be sufficient. A food processor with a bowl offers greater stability for regular bread baking and leaves both hands free. The manufacturer's stated maximum dough quantity and permitted running time remain decisive.
A specific wattage is not a sufficient measure of quality on its own. Check whether the figure refers to rated or peak power, which dough quantities are permitted and how many speed settings are available. Light cake batters require different specifications from frequently prepared firm bread dough.
Running costs depend on the actual power consumption and how long the appliance is used. In principle, a device with a higher wattage uses more energy over the same period, although it may often need to run for less time. For a reliable estimate, compare the power rating, recipe duration and how often you use the appliance.
