All Kenwood products carry a minimum guarantee period of one year (see list below for exceptions)*. The rights and benefits under this guarantee are additional to your statutory rights which are not affected. Please keep your receipt as this will form the basis of your guarantee**. For every millilitre of water you add to your kettle, an extra gram is added to its overall weight, meaning they can get quite heavy. If lifting may be an issue, look for a model that weighs no more than a kilogram when empty.

The appliance has not been altered in any way or subjected to misuse or repair by a person other than an authorised service agent for Kenwood. A power element of 3kW is generally considered best for fast boiling and all of our top-scoring kettles have this wattage. Rose-gold, copper - whatever variation of this metallic trend you go for, one thing's for sure - people can't get enough of it. Whether it's sweet or savoury, you'll find the kMix Stand Mixer has a hook or a whisk for whatever task you have at hand. In addition, the Smart Speed Control has 6 speed options and a fold option, carefully and gradually building up speed without creating any kitchen nightmares. That said, the 1000 W motor allows you to work even the toughest of doughs without any hassle.
