I’ve been using the compact Kenwood Multi Pro Go food processor for months and I can’t get over how quick and efficient it is for its size and price

The Kenwood Multi Pro Go’s biggest drawcard is its tiny footprint. Standing no more than 30cm tall and 16cm wide, it has integrated cable management for easy storage where space is at a premium. Despite its compact size, it uses its 650W of power efficiently, blitzing foods to slice, grate, chop and knead in seconds. It has its limits, but if you don’t need too many bells and whistles from a food processor, this compact Kenwood manages to outdo some bigger food processors — it’s just so quick and efficient. I only wish the main bowl had a handle.

Kenwood Multi Pro Go food processor: two-minute review

Full disclosure: I live in a tiny apartment that has more of a kitchenette than a kitchen, so space — both countertop and cabinet — is at a premium. So I usually try to find essential appliances that are compact and eyed the Kenwood Multi Pro Go for a long while before putting my faith in it.

The main reason it caught my attention was its design — available in lovely light colours (Clay Red and Storm Blue as Kenwood calls them in Australia, there's an additional green one in the UK), the appliance is eye-catching and memorable compared to the usual black or grey machines. Another positive is its Express Serve attachment that drops processed foods directly into a container of your choice. You do need to use a wide-mouthed container, though, as the processed items won't to scatter through the relatively large opening of the attachment.

To keep the whole system compact, Kenwood has thoughtfully added a groove for winding the power cable around when stored, although the plug is too large and hangs off the bottom of the base.

While the main bowl and the Express Serve attachment can sit on top of each other if you want to store the appliance that way, they’re not truly stackable and the latter just ‘sits’ atop the former. That said, if they were truly stackable, the entire appliance would be too tall to fit into even a deep drawer or tall cabinet shelf, so storing one attachment separately is definitely the way to go.

The bowl has a full capacity of 1.3L but only about 0.75L of that is usable for effective processing. That is admittedly not a lot, but is sufficient for a small household. For example, it can easily chop an onion or two in one go, grate 2-3 carrots and slice a couple of potatoes without you needing to empty the bowl first.

Chopping a single large onion took barely 2-3 seconds, but if you find some larger pieces, just give it another quick whirl for better consistency. In a similar vein, grating carrots and cucumbers was also very fast, with two carrots taking no longer than 5-6 seconds. Use the Express Serve attachment for grated and sliced produce and you won’t even need to open the bowl, thus saving you a bit of prep time. Also note that the grating and slicing blade is the same — one side to grate, flip it to slice.

I was rather sceptical about the Kenwood Multi Pro Go being able to knead, but making small amounts of cookie and pasta dough is doable. Making breadcrumbs and pesto is also quick and efficient.

While Kenwood says the parts are all dishwasher safe, I’ve handwashed the attachments every time. This increases the life of the bowl and blades by reducing wear and tear on the parts, and honestly, cleaning them by hand is very easy to do. There aren’t too many nooks and crannies for food to get stuck into, but you can always keep a small brush handy in case items like cheese get caught where your hand can’t reach.

The Kenwood Multi Pro Go is, admittedly, a basic food processor, but if all you need are the basics, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. And it’s not expensive either, even at full price, but it’s often discounted.

Kenwood Multi Pro Go review: price & availability

Available in UK and Australia directly from Kenwood and authorised retailers

While the Kenwood Multi Pro Go food processor isn’t available in the US, it’s widely available in the UK and Australia (as well as other European and APAC markets) for an affordable price of £59 / AU

Even at full price it’s a worthwhile investment if you don’t have too many chef-y needs, but keep an eye out for discounts, either directly from Kenwood or from third-party suppliers. I’ve seen it as low as AU$69 in Australia where I’m based.

In comparison, other compact models like the Kitchen Aid Go 5 Cup Food Processor will set you back £179 / AU

Should I buy the Kenwood Multi Pro Go food processor?

You don’t have a lot of kitchen countertop or storage space

The Kenwood Multi Pro Go is a truly compact kitchen appliance that can be stored away in a large under-cabinet drawer or a cabinet shelf, but note that the Express Serve attachment will need to be kept separately as it's not fully stackable.

Even at full price, the Kenwood Multi Pro Go is affordable, but it's often discounted. It even offers more value for money compared to some of its other compact competitors like the Kitchen Aid Go, which is battery powered, as it's more versatile despite offering limited functionality.

While it can knead, chop, slice and grate, you'll need to get something more proficient if you also want to whip, purée and perform other processing that the likes of the Breville Paradice food processors can take care of.

With a maximum usable capacity of just 0.75L for liquids and solids, the Multi Pro Go is fine for small batches of food, but you'll need something larger for bigger quantities.

I've been using the Kenwood Multi Pro Go since late 2025 for personal reasons, but found it so impressive, it needed to be highlighted.

In that time, I've used the compact appliance to process breadcrumbs, make cookie and pasta dough, plus chop onions, slice cucumbers, zucchini, potatoes and sweet potatoes. I've grated cucumbers for tzatziki and carrot for a cake. I've also made pesto and hummus, as well as a coriander and mint chutney.

While I have been tempted to wash the parts in the dishwasher, I've always erred in the side of caution and handwashed the blades and bowls.
