EXPIRED Kitchen Aid offer at John Lewis until 28th May

I'm so tempted but I can't decide on a colour which I'm taking to mean I really don't need one at all, the damned kenwood chef just won't die!

It's like they knew I'm having a new kitchen fitted this week. My Mum sent me the Le Creuset catalogue as well, IT'S A CONSPIRACY! And I'm about to go down to zero pay maternity leave as well, so I really really can justify it...

It's still far far too expensive...

not if you think about how long it would last - work out cost per use!

What a fab offer. But I can't justify one right now so its probably a good thing that the one I'd buy is out of stock (the royal blue). Must keep telling myself my 30 yo Kenwood does everything I need...

My 30 y o wedding present kenwood food processor does a lot more than this and hopefully won't die for a long time yet.

Hello, don't shoot me, but please note this machine has a 300watt motor. I only post to offer my experience as I bought (with clubcard points) a Kenwood Chef Titanium, has a 1400watt motor (it was £499, I paid £120 as used double clubpoints)

Have to say best kitchen item I have ever bought! I waited 30 years to own this, I have to say!

This made me chuckle...think I made the right decision during double club points then

That works out as £309.50 for your Kenwood Chef, only £20.45 cheaper, and using up your Tesco points. Do you find that you use the extra wattage though? I imagine 300watts is enough to handle anything thrown at it (not literally ) in a domestic kitchen?

I personally think this is a fab deal and would be buying if I had a spare £400 I could justify, I'm just not sure I would use it enough for it to pay for itself although it would make pretzel dough a doddle. There doesn't seem to be a lot of recipes online that show it to it's best usage. But... it's so pretty...

Savvy - It is a good deal, wasn't disputing that, just offering my tips as a die hard investigative moneysaving consumer. I don't spend money easily, no matter how good a deal, until I fully investigatate what I need, what options are out there and do my research.

Not meant to say one is better then the other, just depends on what you need. The Kenwood sold me (not as pretty as kitchen aid, totally agree) down to its multifunction capacity - as it is a food processer (attachments included) Blender (attachments included) I believe this is why the extra power is needed, the food processer is fabulous btw, blender is a backup only for me as I have a vitamix
