Our take
The FP959 combines a 12-cup nominal processor bowl, a six-cup working capacity, a separate blender, a dough tool, several cutting blades, and a built-in scale. The exact Amazon page identifies B013SMWWZM as FP959; Kenwood's FP959 Series manual supplies the model-bound electrical rating and scale limit. The most useful distinction is its multi-format workflow, not a claim of faster or better processing.
A home cook who will use the scale, processor, dough tool, and blender on one platform and will verify the exact seller parts before buying..
Skip it if you require a verified 12-cup working fill, a confirmed mini bowl or juicer in this seller package, or a dedicated dicing kit.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact listing names FP959, a 12-cup bowl, a 6-cup working capacity, and a separate blender.
- The exact included list names a dough blade, geared whisk, and four stainless cutting blades.
- The model-series manual documents 120 V / 60 Hz / 600 W and a 3-kg weighing limit.
What to weigh up
- The six-cup working limit is a more cautious planning figure than the twelve-cup nominal bowl size.
- The mini processor bowl, citrus press, and centrifugal juicer are select-model parts, not confirmed here.
- The exact listing does not establish a dicing kit or the size of each cutting blade.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
One platform covers several measured prep formats
The exact Amazon page identifies the silver Kenwood FP959 and lists a processor bowl, separate blender, cutting tools, dough blade, geared whisk, and weighing plate. That breadth gives the model a different buying case from a single-bowl chopper or a processor whose main distinction is a dicing grid. A cook can weigh ingredients, process them in the bowl, and use the separate blender vessel without treating those parts as one container. The title and product summary establish the model, while the seller's stated parts still need checking against the item delivered. Kenwood's series manual helps explain how the scale and attachments are used, but its select-model labels matter for pieces that are not confirmed by the exact listing. [bowlCapacityCups, doughBlade]
Separate nominal and working bowl capacities
Amazon describes a 12-cup bowl and a 6-cup working capacity. Those figures answer different questions: the nominal volume describes the bowl's stated size, while the smaller working figure is a more conservative limit for an actual recipe routine. A shopper comparing family-size batches should not read the twelve-cup headline as a promise that every ingredient can be processed to that fill. Kenwood's manual also provides attachment-specific maximum amounts, including limits for chopping and dough; those recipe limits are not a universal bowl-volume measurement. Keep the 12-cup nominal figure visible for comparison, but use the six-cup working statement and the relevant manual table when planning food quantities. [bowlCapacityCups]
The scale changes how ingredients are measured
Kenwood's FP959 Series manual says the built-in weighing function can weigh ingredients directly in the processor bowl or blender goblet, and it gives a maximum weighing capacity of 3 kg. A removable weighing plate is also identified. This can reduce the need to transfer dry ingredients to a separate kitchen scale, especially when building a recipe in stages. The instructions say ingredients added down the feed tube while the processor is running are not shown on the scale display, and the display is not a measurement of food volume. A cook who values direct weighing should keep those operating details in mind and use the manual's zeroing and capacity instructions rather than assuming the scale can weigh every ingredient during processing. [bowlCapacityCups]
Cutting and dough tools are distinct from optional parts
The exact item page names a dough blade and four stainless cutting blades, and describes slicing and shredding among the processor's functions. Kenwood's series manual gives names for slicing and grating discs, a chipper disc, and an extra-fine grater. That is enough to confirm a documented slice-and-shred workflow and a dough tool for the FP959 offer, but it does not establish a dicing kit or the exact size of each supplied blade. The manual labels the mini processor bowl, citrus press, and centrifugal juicer as on select models. Those conditional items are not transferred to the exact Amazon package. Ask the seller to identify each attachment by name if a specific cut or secondary bowl is part of the purchase decision. [sliceShred, doughBlade, dicingKit]
The separate blender is not the processor bowl
Amazon lists a six-cup blender alongside the processor bowl, while Kenwood's manual gives a maximum blender capacity of 1.5 liters or 50 fluid ounces in its function table. The listing's cup wording and the manual's metric/ounce wording are kept as source statements rather than converted into a new exact fill promise. The two vessels also have separate assembly and operating instructions. The manual advises cooling hot liquids before blending and provides a short maximum run time for the blender. This makes the combined design useful only when the cook expects to use both bowl formats; it also adds a jar and lid to store and wash. There is no documented heater or integrated cooking mode, so the blender does not turn this into a cooking processor. [integratedCooking]
Confirm the package and electrical label
The Kenwood FP959 Series manual cover specifies 120 V, 60 Hz, and 600 W maximum, so this model family meets the finder's North American voltage criterion. The exact Amazon page separately lists 600 W and the matching FP959 code, which ties the product identity to the manual. The product page describes a storage carousel and cord storage, helpful details if the owner expects to keep several attachments together, but it does not establish how much counter or cabinet room the complete set takes. Before ordering, compare the offered parts with the manual and verify the rating plate on the actual unit, especially for a used or reseller-supplied machine. [northAmericanVoltage]
Who should choose this combination
FP959 is most relevant to a buyer who sees value in a processor, blender, weighing scale, dough tool, whisk, and several cutting blades sharing one power unit. It is less compelling if the buyer needs only basic chopping, a small separate work bowl, or a confirmed dicing kit. A KitchenAid with a documented dicing grid or a Robot Coupe commercial combination machine follows a different tool strategy; neither should be treated as a performance substitute based on wattage alone. The FP959's six-cup working limit, select-model attachment caveats, and exact seller components should guide the decision. This is a documented feature comparison and does not establish current offer condition or hands-on results. [smallBowl, dicingKit]
