    Has anyone had one delivered yet?

    My fingers are still crossed but I suspect the item is a misprice and they are not actually dispatching them despite issuing dispatch emails.
    Edit Monday
    Mines now arrived and I'm well pleased.

    Is this an old model? It's only a 650w and only one speed. I bought a FP520 which sells at £50 and it's got a 700w motor and two speeds plus pulse so this one doesn't seem worth £100+!
    if i had known then what i know now
  • I just phoned to check that they are delivering today, as I didn't want to waste time waiting in. They confirmed it is being delivered today. Not so sure it is a price mistake, maybe they are old models being sold off cheap. Mind you if it was then they would have put the RRP price as about £135 reduced to £44.99!
  • It's rare to get an induction model at this price. The induction motors are far superior and the ones that the great but expensive Magimix range uses.

    You can tell an induction motor unit as the base is much larger at the bottom. For £45 it is a bargain, and I cannot find anything close to it. Mine is planned for delivery monday so we will see!
  • I have just taken delivery of my food processor, so they are delivering the orders. Fantastic! Thanks again for posting.

    I have their chrome juicer and it's great. I was thinking of getting a processor to make curry sauces only the other day, so hopefully this one will prove to be a bargain.

    It's sure to be a discontinued model as no one is selling it other than Co-op and a few other places and is no longer available via Amazon. Doesn't matter though as long is it does the business and looks cool ;-) It does like a pricing error though nevertheless, so thanks for the heads up ...

    The induction motor is much quieter than your average food processor, and will last longer (not that I think that makes much difference in practice - other bits tend to break first!).

    I like the idea of a large and a small bowl - it makes the product more universal and thus more likely to be used rather than languish in a cupboard.

    What can the culinary experts add?
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    For those of you who havent bought one yet, you can (so it seems) cheat the delivery price a little too.
    Order it for a week day (4.99 delivery) then go back and change to a weekend (much better time for us working but costs 14.99). The price stays at 4.99!

    Ive managed it and get mine delivered tomorrow for £50.

    Thanks for the spot in the first place :)

    Went to collect mine this morning after missing the delivery man on Friday. The box shows it as white, but although I haven't fully unpacked it yet the base and jug handle both look silver. Alot more in the box than I was expecting too, best purchase of the week. :)
