Kenwood Appliances

The Kenwood appliance brand was bought by Delonghi in 2001 along with the Ariete brand name and led to many of the range cookers that were sold being referred to as Kenwwod Elba.

This brand is not to be confused with the Kenwood small appliance brand or the Kenwood audio company.

Retail Pricing

Largely it appears that whilst Delonghi owned Elba they produced in the UK under the Kenwood, Delonghi and Elba brand names with Kenwwod appearing to be an exclusive branding for the Currys chain of electrical stores. Quality was therefore secondary to meeting retail prioce points and, liek Elba, aome quality and features were sacraficed in order to meet retailer demands detracting from what was otherwise not bad products.

Kenwood appears to have ben used as a "lower price point" product and we have seen many Chinese made dishwashers and other products sold.

Spares & Service

Spares, like Elba, are easy enough to get in large part and reasonably priced mostly. We carry stock of most commonly used spares for Kenwood cookers and built in ovens.

As spares are easily availabel and the cookers and oven not especially complex, almost any of the repairers will offer repair services on these products.
