The CookEasy+ marks a real breakthrough in the manufacturer’s catalog of food processors. In addition to an aesthetic makeover, this new generation features a touch screen, automatic programs and Wi-Fi.
The CookEasy+ marks a small revolution within the Kenwood catalog and the changes made are chargeable. The touch screen serves the convenience of use as much as the integrated scale – accurate to the nearest gram – and the fleet of accessories delivered with the robot. Low temperatures are held to the nearest degree and heating is quite fast. Finally, what we regret the most is the absence of guided recipes that Kenwood overcomes with cooking programs. The Wi-Fi is only used to automatically configure the robot’s settings according to the recipe chosen on the smartphone… which is in fact essential. We remain suddenly a little on our hunger.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Moulinex ClickChef is a very good robot-cooker for those who are ready to skip guided cooking. It cooks quickly and precisely while ensuring good temperature homogeneity. To top it off, it mixes efficiently and silently. It outperforms Lidl’s Monsieur Cuisine Plus – which it looks a lot like – and is actually very good value for money.
