Kenwood is a British kitchen appliance brand founded in 1947 by Kenneth Maynard Wood in Woking, England. For more than seven decades the company has built a reputation for high-quality, innovative food preparation equipment, from its iconic Kenwood Chef stand mixer — launched at the Ideal Home Exhibition in 1950 — to a broad range of food processors, blenders, and accessories trusted by home cooks around the world. Since 2001 Kenwood has been part of the De'Longhi Group, continuing to develop products for kitchens worldwide.
Kenwood's story began with a single toaster in 1947, but the brand's reputation was cemented by the Kenwood Chef, introduced in 1950 as one of the first true all-in-one kitchen machines. Capable of mixing, kneading, mincing, and chopping, the Chef became a household name across the UK and beyond. The company went on to launch its first dedicated food processor in 1979, expanding a product range that now spans everything from compact hand blenders to powerful multi-function stand mixers with a wide selection of attachments.
At the heart of the Kenwood range are its food processors and mixer attachments, designed to handle everyday tasks with precision and ease. Stainless-steel bowls, dough hooks, whisks, and a variety of specialist attachments allow a single machine to take on baking, pasta-making, juicing, and more. The brand's focus on build quality means many Kenwood appliances remain in daily use for decades, making them a long-term investment for any kitchen.
Kenwood regularly made exclusive discounts and product offers available to subscribers of its newsletter, giving enthusiasts early access to new product launches, seasonal promotions, and bundle deals on accessories. Signing up was a practical way to keep up with new additions to the range and to save on purchases for an already well-equipped kitchen or a first-time Kenwood buy.
Kenwood was founded in 1947 by Kenneth Maynard Wood in Woking, England. The company launched its first product, the A100 toaster, that same year, and followed it in 1950 with the Kenwood Chef stand mixer that would define the brand's identity for generations.
The Kenwood Chef is a stand mixer first unveiled at the Ideal Home Exhibition in 1950. It was one of the earliest domestic machines designed to handle a wide range of food preparation tasks — mixing, kneading, whisking, mincing, and more — using interchangeable attachments. It remains the brand's flagship product and is still manufactured today.
Kenwood has been a subsidiary of the Italian appliance group De'Longhi since 2001, when De'Longhi acquired the brand for approximately £45.9 million. The company continues to operate from its base in Havant, Hampshire, England.
Kenwood produces a wide range of kitchen appliances including stand mixers (most notably the Kenwood Chef range), food processors, hand blenders, personal blenders, kettle and toaster sets, and a large selection of compatible accessories and attachments for its mixer range.
Many Kenwood Chef attachments are designed to be compatible across multiple generations of the stand mixer, meaning accessories purchased for an older model will often fit newer machines. It is always worth checking compatibility details specific to your model before purchasing an attachment.
Kenwood appliances are designed at the company's headquarters in Havant, Hampshire. Manufacturing takes place at facilities in China, where Kenwood established its first factory in 1989, as well as at other sites as part of the wider De'Longhi Group's global production network.
