The 1000W grill is what lifts this above an ordinary microwave. A plain microwave reheats but leaves everything pale and soft; a grill element browns and crisps the top, so cheese melts and colours, chicken...

The value option among the steel kettles, and it gives up very little. The Sanford SF3364EK holds 1.7 litres in #304 food-grade stainless steel with double-layer construction, so the outside stays far cooler than a...

The sensible middle of the steel kettle range: double-layer construction keeps the outside far cooler than a single-wall kettle, at a lower price than the triple-layer model. The Sanford SF1869EK boils 1.7 litres at a...

Triple-layer construction is the reason to choose this one: three walls with insulating air gaps mean the outside stays genuinely comfortable to touch even at full boil, and the water inside stays hot noticeably longer...

The digital touch display is what separates this from every other kettle in the range — it lets you select functions rather than just switching on, which matters if you drink green tea or coffee...

A blender that also charges your phone is a strange idea until you are travelling. The Sanford SF6810BR blends a smoothie in the cup you then drink from, and its battery doubles as a power...

The value entry to the range, and it does not skimp where it matters: a 100% copper motor at this price is unusual, and it is the component that decides how long a blender lasts....

Ten speeds and a 100% copper motor — this is the one for people who care how the blend turns out rather than just that it happened. Two-speed blenders force everything into fast or faster;...

Six hundred watts is where a blender stops struggling. The Sanford SF6839BR is the most powerful of the 2-in-1 blenders here, and that extra power is what gets you through ice, frozen fruit, hard carrots...

1200W and 22,000 RPM is a different order of machine. Where a 350W blender labours through hard spices and thick batter, the Sanford SF5913GM-A has the power to grind dry masala to a genuinely fine...

The right size for two or three people, and considerably cheaper to buy and run than a family cooker. The Sanford SF2501RC holds 1.8 litres at 700W, cooking rice hands-off and switching to keep-warm when...

A rice cooker earns its place because it removes a decision: you add rice and water, press one button, and it knows when to stop. The Sanford SF1196RC switches itself from cooking to keep-warm automatically...

Small, quick and genuinely well matched to cooking for one. At 3.5 litres the Sanford SF2457AF heats fast and cooks a single person's meal in minutes — and because it is compact it fits a...

The detachable non-stick oil tray is the feature that makes this one pleasant to live with. Fat that renders out of chicken or sausages collects in a tray you lift out and wash, rather than...

Five and a half litres is the size that suits most households — big enough for three people's dinner in one batch, small enough that it does not dominate a counter or take forever to...

The most powerful air fryer in the range at 1700W, and power is what determines how quickly food crisps rather than dries. Higher wattage means the basket recovers temperature faster after you open it and...

Eight litres is family-sized, and it changes what an air fryer is for. At this capacity the Sanford SF2458AF cooks a whole chicken, a full tray of chips or enough vegetables for four or five...

The important difference between infrared and induction: an infrared cooker works with every kind of cookware you already own. Induction only heats magnetic pans, which means replacing your aluminium and glass pots; the Sanford SF5195IC...

The adjustable pulp filter is the feature that decides whether you enjoy your juice. Some people want it smooth and clear, others want the pulp for the fibre and body — and a fixed filter...

The integrated LED light is the reason to pick this one — a fan that also lights the room during a power cut is doing two jobs, and in a Kenyan household that is a...

The LED display and remote are what make this the fan you actually operate rather than set once and forget. At a glance you can see what speed and mode it is on — no...

Five blades rather than three is what you feel in the room. A five-blade fan moves air more smoothly and with noticeably less of the pulsing buffet you get from three wide blades, which makes...

A wall fan solves the problem a stand fan creates: floor space. Mounted up and out of the way, the Sanford SF931WFN frees the corner a pedestal fan would occupy — which in a small...

A mixer grinder is a different machine from a blender, and if you cook Indian or Swahili food you already know why. Instead of one jar trying to do everything, the Sanford SF5911GM-B comes with...

The appliance you use daily is rarely the big one. At 400ml, the Sanford SF5591KT Mini Slicer is sized for the jobs that come up every single time you cook — garlic, ginger, chillies, onions,...

The dough hooks are what make this a serious baking tool rather than a whisk with a motor. Stiff bread dough, chapati dough and heavy cake mixtures defeat a light mixer — the motor bogs...

One appliance, three jobs, and — the part that actually matters — detachable plates. Fixed-plate multi-cookers are miserable to clean because you are wiping around a hot hinged appliance; plates that come out go in...

Four appliances in one base, and the specification that matters is hidden underneath: a 100% copper motor. Copper windings run cooler and last considerably longer than aluminium, and in a machine expected to blend, juice,...

Twenty litres is the size that fits most Kenyan kitchens and still takes a dinner plate — the practical minimum, and the reason this is the most common capacity sold. The Sanford SF5629MO runs at...

Fresh orange juice takes about ninety seconds with the right tool, and that is the whole argument for owning one. The Sanford SF5554CJ is a dedicated citrus juicer — press the fruit onto the cone...

Most chopping jobs are small ones — a couple of cloves of garlic, a handful of coriander, half an onion, some ginger for tea. Hauling out a big processor for that is why people just...

Four sandwiches at once is the difference between feeding a family and running a production line. The Sanford SF9901ST presses four at a time at 1400W, so everyone eats together and hot — rather than...

A two-layer blade system is what separates a chopper that works from one that leaves a lumpy mess. Two sets of blades at different heights mean the whole jar gets processed rather than just the...

No cable means you can mix anywhere — including over a bowl on the far side of the kitchen from the only socket, or outside, or during a power cut. The Sanford SF1333HM is a...

Popcorn without oil is a genuinely different snack — lighter, and you know exactly what is in it. The Sanford SF1377PM uses 1200W of hot-air circulation to pop kernels with no oil at all, which...
