It might be called a compact system, but this has a large footprint and a great height, so be sure to measure twice before ordering, and you’ll need cupboard space for all the attachments
Talking which it has an attachments for every possible use, more than I have been able to use in the month I had had it, but I’ll get there in the end. It chops, whisks, blends, kneads and for the first time in my life I whisked egg whites and it was incredible easy, primarily because this machine did it for me.
It does seem like it could do anything and it is held back by my competence and creativity, rather than any limitations in itself.
Loads of power, without to much noise, and the ability to do almost everything. Terrific.
I tend to batch cook and freeze a lot of meals for convenience throughout the week and this has saved me a lot of time with prepping my ingredients. It’s quite impressive the amount of things it can do from grating, chopping, slicing, blending *takes breath*, whisking, blending and kneading you name it, it does it.. really minimises the work I need to do in the kitchen and makes cooking a breeze!
Cleaning it can be quite time consuming if you’re only using it for smaller jobs that using a simple knife can do, however all accessories are easy to clean, and best of all I love that after using I can throw everything into the dishwasher and make my life even easier as they are all dishwasher safe!
Included is a large range of accessories and tools like the feed tube, 3.6L 2.6L and 1.2 litre bowls, discs, dough blade, egg whisk, blender mix, juice press and even a recipe book to help get you started!
Magimix also offer a generous 30 year warranty on the motor for peace of mind, making this a perfect investment!
Highly recommend!
At time of review this product is 449.00
I was offered this on the vine program in return for my honest review.
First when this arrived I struggled to get this in through the front doorthe very nice Amazon driver helped to bring this for meso a big thank you to him.
This ~magimix compact system is s serious piece of equipment..this is quite big and heavy.
At around 15LBS this would be far to heavy to keep this in a cupboard and keep lifting in and outso for me this would have to be left ontop of the worktop.
This magimix consists of so many gadgets perfect for making jobs faster and easier.as there is so much it can do..whisking.chopping.juicing..kneading.mixingslicing.blending and so much morethe motor is very powerful..going to take me a long time getting to grips with this machine..it really is a beast of a machine.if you are cooking for a large family or have family coming over then this machine is perfect for all the veg..
This comes with a 30 yr motor guarantee and a 3yr parts guarantee
What a machine! This is incredibly versatile and I’ve honestly never seen so many attachments! The manual is part of the recipe book that is an actual hardback book!
I never really use manuals but I actually needed it for this one. From chopping, to juicing, whisking, grating this does a bit of everything.
It has a system that keeps 3 bowls in one. Now this is good on one hand (mainly for storage) but not amazing for cleaning. On the first use I tried making a dressing in the top, smaller bowl. I may have put a little too much in but it didn’t seem excessive and it dripped all the way down into the larger bowl. So to make one thing I had to clean 3 bowls. You can’t use the smaller bowls without each larger one being in place if that makes sense. The only one that can be used on its own is the largest.
The middle bowl is also only able to be used for grating and slicing. Not a problem, just unexpected.
The large bowl is where all the magic happens. I tried making flatbread dough and I have to say it’s the best I’ve ever made using the Magimix. I was astounded when I used the whisk attachment on double cream and 600ml was done within 5 seconds…! The only downside was that the cream was dense rather than whipped…so it doesn’t aerate it as well as actual balloon whisks.
This model has a pulse, auto and stop button. The stop button really does stop it immediately and obviously the pulse gives you a little more control over the machine. The auto is the only way of making the machine go constantly and unfortunately only appears to go incredibly fast which isn’t great in certain recipes; but I’m sure after more practice you will just know to use the pulse button instead.
The large feeder tube is incredibly useful, especially while juicing or slicing/grating large vegetables.
The machine is massive and the accessories take up a whole cupboard shelf but it saves having several machines to cover each aspect.
I hope this has helped with your purchase
An absolutely incredible bit of kitchen kit. Make sure you’ve got some space for it!! The unit itself isn’t absurdly big, and the three bowls stack on top of each other in a neat, space-saving way. This adds some height though so you’ll need to sit this on some worktop that has no low cupboards above it.
There’s an almost bewildering array of attachments and gizmos and there’s every chance that some will remain completely unused in their smart containers but for an all encompassing device you couldn’t ask for more.
Longevity is the key here, in terms of value. This is an investment, with a lengthy guarantee period, quality materials, excellent engineering and Sabatier blades etc etc.
So far I’ve used it to chop herbs, nuts, blend pesto, soups, chop vegetables, mix dough and pastry. All working perfectly, easily and without incident.
I look forward to exploring further and seeing what this baby can do.
This is a really impressive piece of kit. It comes with so many attachments that it can do almost everything I need in the kitchen, it is almost like having one more person to help me.
I have been using this for the last couple of weeks and I just love it, I can’t wait for my days off so I can try new recipes.
This is massive compared to my old food processor and probably bigger than most of those on the market but just perfect for us as we are a big family. It came packed in a huge cardboard box but even though the product itself is quite big, I was waiting for my husband to get home to help me install my new kitchen aid.
It is not so heavy that a woman can not lift it but I didn’t want to mess up with it.
Anyway, after I placed it where my old food processor used to be and started using it, it was like I had it since forever, it is really easy to use and at the same time I still learn new things about it.
The motor seems to be very powerful but very silent, not like some of them that sound like power tools cutting through something.
All the accessories are easy to remove and most of the time it is more than enough to rinse them with water therefore despite that it is big it is really easy to keep it clean.
It stays still on the table top every time I am using it, no moving around or weird shaking whatsoever.
Nothing to complain really.
Really good quality as you would expect from a professional brand.
I was in awe at the price of this food processor initially BUT as they were all being revealed as they came out of the box, I was amazed at the amount of pieces there actually is but most of all, the quality! You can feel the quality of the materials usedthe blades and discs are super sharp (I found this out very quickly by accident).
There is a lot of weight to the actual machine part alonethere is 30 year warranty on the motor which means they are confident it will last and 3 years on partsthat is peace of mind and in my opinion makes the price of this more realistic as it is made to lastI like many other things these days sadly!
As yet I haven’t been able to use it except to switch it on and you can feel the power. There are so many parts to explore and they cover anything you could possibly need.
There is are two recipe booksone for soups and the other for mealsso can’t wait to try them out.
The main thing I would say is to be sure that you check the height of your kitchen units, if like me, you have a smaller kitchen and the upper units are all the way aroundno open area. To fit the main part of the machine onto my kitchen top I have had to tilt it sideways so it goes underneath the cabinet skirtone under there it is fineI just have to remember to tilt the machine each time I want to use it. The actual width/size of the machine does not take up much space,,,it’s just the height.
It is truly an awesome looking machine and when considering the initial payoutnear in mine the 30 year motor warranty and 3 year parts and this makes it well worth while.
A fabulous machine and comes in a choice of colourI have the cream and it is lovely. Definitely recommended.
This is a bit of a beast in size and weight. If you are not all that strong in the arms, hands or wrists see if you can lift this before you think of buying it or have a place where it can just sit and stay, my bathroom scales say the main unit on its own is 7kg (around 15lb). If you are not going to use the juicer or disc cutters maybe go for a smaller or different model as it would just be lots of stuff you don’t use that you would need to store and this model comes with a lot of extra stuff!
It does its job very well. My current food processor, a Braun, has been in the family for over 20 years and was a total lightweight compared to what this can do. It comes with all the slicing and mixing attachments you will ever need and a long warranty to give you some piece of mind for such an expensive purchase.
The idea of the three different sized bowls that nest together like Russian dolls was new to me and seems a bit of a waste of time and plastic. I guess I’m just used to chopping and mixing everything in the same sized bowl which seems more straight forward and less complicated.
The motor is very powerful and I could easily mix up some bread dough in around 30 seconds, even though the top of the machine was rattling around the base and stayed firmly on the table top.
The cutting discs are very sharp and make short work of carrots and other veg. I didn’t use the ones for cheese.
It comes with a hardback recipe book which doubles as the instruction manual.
The cutting discs are all stored in some clear topped plastic containers that also store the large cutting blade, dough and wish attachments.
The overall build quality is good but it is let down by some of the plastic parts. The spatula that comes with it is made of some of the cheapest plastic I have ever seen. The dough mixer had a lot of flash on it from the moulding process ( I’ve added a picture), I was not sure if this would come off in use so took some time with a sharp knife to remove it, not something I would expect to do on a machine of this price range.
Personally I would have liked to have more user speed variation settings on the unit; it just comes with an auto speed and a pulse mode.
So overall if you do a lot of cooking and don’t bulk at the price I think the machine is a good buy, it is built well and I see no reason why it would not last a long time if looked after. The weight of the machine and overall size together with having to store all the accessories will be an issue to some with limited strength and space and you will need to take that into account along with the not inconsiderable price.
I’m knocking a star off because of a dough mixer which probably annoys me more than it should.
Wow it’s very sleek, modern, comes with various accessories, efficient and speedy
It’s grinds, chops, blends, (even slices tomato so perfectly) extremely easy to clean, very sturdy & quiet. Powerful & easy to use, doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. It is a great size for slicing, dicing and making the mixtures of choice, be they sweet or savoury. The tools and blades have got their own storing boxes, the whisk is amazing, it’s take a few months to do eggs whites. The three sizes of bowl it’s more versatile. The blender so smoothly for my soups. The quality of stainless iron blades & motor is at a level not found in other brands I have used but I’ve never had a mixer, blender, whisk, dough maker in 1 before & can say whole heartily definitely worth every penny & hugely recommended!!
Appearance – it is very smart and looks timeless. It is large and very heavy so you do need to have a counter that is large enough for it to be able to stay out. You also receive a lot of accessories that take up a lot of cupboard space. I think a small kitchen could look overwhelmed with this monster sitting in it!
Functions – I haven’t even tried all the functions as there are so many! I have made some sauces and used it for chopping and it worked like a dream.
Quality – you really can feel the quality when you use this. You don’t end up with a hot machine and the blades making worrying noises like you do with cheap machines. It feels like a workhorse and will be ideal for large families and people who love to batch cook.
Cleaning – it is reasonably easy to clean. Obviously if you use lots of accessories it will take a while but they only needed a dunk in hot soapy water etc.
What a machine, it does all you can imagine plus more gets put to use everyday and makes tedious tasks in the kitchen so effortless have I was amazed at the ease it made mice meat and how little time it took compared to my mincer soups and sauces are a thing of beauty with this food processor comes with all the blades and accessories you’d need for Amy job have even made my own butter with this which tasted amazing so much versatility from a single machine easy to use with only three buttons marked Auto, Stop and Pulse no fiddly settings and programs to select for different foods comes with a hardcover recepie book which doubles up as a manual too not the easiest to clean as there’s so many different bolws and blades but we’ll worth it for the functionality and time saved using this.
The Magimix Compact System is a very impressive piece of kitchen equipment…such a powerful tool and one that I will now use every day.
I have always bought cheap plastic food processors in the past which evidently break after a couple of years but the Magimix Compact System comes with a 30-year motor guarantee and a 3-year parts guarantee, so I was keen to see how it works.
And to say I was suitably impressed is an understatement…this is such a strong, powerful and sturdy machine and has so many functions and gadgets that come with it, making every job faster, easier and much more efficient. This system does everything from chopping, slicing, mixing, whisking, kneading, blending, juicing…the list is endless.
It comes with three different sized bowls; the mini bowl which is great for small quantities and for chopping herbs etc., the midi bowl for slicing and grating and the main bowl for large quantities, mixing and blending.
All the accessories like the slicing and grating discs, the whisk, and the dough and main blades come in two neat boxes which are brilliant for storage, safety and will prevent the blade edges from becoming blunt. The system also comes with a juicer attachment and a juice extractor/smoothie maker.
Currently I have tried the system out for chopping vegetables, making soup, grating cheese and everything was chopped, blended and grated to perfection. The system also comes with a recipe book (manual and instructions included in this book) and I tried the shortbread recipe. All ingredients were blended within 10 seconds!
As the functions are so vast, I think it will take time to learn the full capabilities of this amazing machine but, I am certainly looking forward to experimenting and getting the most out of it.
All the tools and bowls are easy to clean, I hand washed mine, but the instruction manual does say that short low temperature dishwasher programs can be used.
The Magimix is quite heavy so it is probably best to keep it accessible and find a permanent spot on your worktop where it can stay out all the time. For anyone wondering whether it will fit on your worktop, the Magimix compact system base measures 20cm width and 24cm depth. It is quite tall at 45cm, and I would watch the height as it doesn’t fit under our kitchen wall units but I found the perfect spot and it is a very nice addition to my kitchen.
I would definitely recommend this product; it may seem expensive, but the quality and ease of use makes this a worthy investment with endless daily uses and a must for anyone who loves cooking.
Well I have to admit ‘Madge’ is wonderful, and I’m so glad I bought her.
I’ve always made pastry by hand, but never again. Pastry made using the Magimix is the best ever. I’ve used it to finely chop the glut of tomatoes from my greenhouse, to make the most delightful tomato sauce. I’ve made mayonnaise for the first time too.
The only downside is, I seem to end up with a mountain of washing up, what with the various parts.
A small price to pay for a wonderful machine though.
Although the product is quite heavy, the quality is superb, and the performance equal to the quality.
Brillia
The best appliance I bought for kitchen yet. It saves so much time and makes some tricky dishes possible. Money very well spent.
I haven’t been able to get a good blend from the machine, compared to an actual blender it is very coarse. Other than that it works well in most other duties.
Easy to use. It does take time to clean but not as bad as I had expected. Recipe book that comes with it is brilliant. Lots of recipes that are user friendly.
Very happy with this purchase. UK model works fine in Australia, and was delivered very quickly. So far used it several times to prepare fruit for making jam, with excellent results. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy a decent food processor.
Just Bought Magimix 5200Xl form amazon au. came from Magimix UK. Looks great. Beautiful machine. Quick delivery, just used one so far for citrus press. Excellent result. Will us more often for other things.
It’s a magimix… it’s amazing and they always are. No other food processors come close to their effectiveness. One small point – this a cream not the pale yellow seen here. On the box it’s even called ivory!
Absolutely love this food processor, chose the cream colour, very classy! Wouldn’t be without a magimix now…robust, great quality, easy to use and clean. Juicer superb. Well who doesn’t like a freshly squeezed orange drink every morning? So over the moon with this product just bought the extra accessory parmasen/choccy slicer …right now on to my next recipe on the magimix app….mmmm!
Lpve everything about it its so powerful and make home cooking a dream
What a brilliant mixer! Yes it’s a high price point but the attention to detail in the item is incredible. We love ours!
I love this. Does everything you want and was recommended to me
Took a little getting used to, has a lot more attachments than my old machine,my only gripe Is when using the mini bowl you often end up washing them all because it spills into the larger bowls, but love the versatility and is very sturdy and looks great,would recommend.
Very pleased with this food processor. It feels sturdy & well made. Doesn’t ‘walk’ all over the counter when in use!
I know some people don’t like the stacked bowls, but I think this is ok. I did sometimes get spillage from the small bowl into the larger ones, but that was because I overfilled it, so now I’m careful not to & that seems to have cured that little problem.
The blade & disc storage box is excellent & is smart looking too.
I find the slicing & grating very easy & quick, much better than with other food processors I’ve owned in the past.
It’s powerful enough to make good nut butter in a few minutes, but in the main bowl with the large blade. I had too much to use the small top bowl, so can’t comment on how that would perform.
Overall this is a very good machine which I look forward to using for many years.
The only downside is the Magimix website. I couldn’t register my product due to an ongoing error. They did respond to my email however, but the error was still there days later so I gave up trying. Proof of purchase acts as the guarantee, apparently.
Just love this machine. Love all the attachments and the fact it has 3 different size bowls. It’s heavy but moveable, it’s sturdy in use and for a kitchen machine fairly quiet.
I made mayonnaise in it recently, it was a breeze.
Easy to clean and store as all the bowls fit inside each other.
Comes with a neat box for storing all the attachments.
Would definitely recommend.
Love this piece of kit. Very reliable, efficient, and looks great. Bit of a pain to wash up but comes with the territory
The machine arrived promptly. It works so well, replacing a 4200, where the motor had seized. I still worry that the plastic may crack and so am resisting the pull to put it in the dishwasher. However, I am enjoying the larger bowl and feed tube.
This is the best thing in my kitchen.In use every day.Sturdy,powerful and fantastic quality.
It grates potatoes and chops onions and broccoli beautifully! It looks lovely, the attachments are great.
Sooooo happy with it.
(Bought as gift for daughter – this is her review)
So far I am really impressed by how efficient it is, once you get used to which gadget does what it is really an amazing machine, I have turned out some lovely cakes and had lots of fun experimenting.
It is very expensive but as it has a really good guarantee I’m looking on it as an investment.
This is an outstanding appliance in the kitchen, it saves hours in preparation time, whether it be slicing,dicing, chopping, blending, mixing all done in a few seconds. It’s almost like having your own sous chef. It’s quite, easy to clean and I’m constantly finding new things I can do with it. The size is superb for making the portion size you want, large or small. I highly recommend it.
Replacement – design improved and probably makes it more versatile and easier to use
The ONLY downside to this machine is the weight, it is heavy. I would suggest finding a spot where it can stay all the time. If it’s in the cupboard it’s a hassle to lift in and out. Mine lives on top of the butchers block so that it’s easily accessible. The accessories come in a separate storage container. The motor has a 30 year warranty so it will probably last longer than me!
Absolutely love this product does everything it says and very powerful
Even though there are cheaper food processors out there I would recommend investing in a magi mix to anyone who enjoys cooking as there are so many uses for it.
Hope you enjoy using yours as much as I am mine!
Saves me a lot of time when I’m batch cooking, I’m very pleased with it.
It is a beautiful machine, but what a pity my existing cutters will not fit on it.
Well worth the money. This is probably the best kitchen investment after a cooker!! Does everything it’s supposed too and looks good too!
I’ve re-discovered a love for cooking because there’s less prep time (sorry to Kenwood, the mini chopper has worked wonderfully for us over the years, but it’s time to go now that we need to do more batch cooking!). We’re a family of four with two young kids, so the 5200 is more than enough for us – managed to simultaneously batch make 4 dishes, a cake and a soup over a couple of hours with this on the first day (which otherwise would’ve taken me twice as long with our tiny mini chopper!). A total God-send.
Very good machine and good result when use it for mincing meat.
Nice piece of kit, and looks good too.
The handy storage box for the accessories is a very nice idea.
Better than older models, well made and easy to use. Others walk across the worktop this stays put.
Bei einer der Schsseln ist ein Teil ausgebrochen. Der Kundenservice war sehr freundlich zuvorkommend und schnell!
Auch unsere Kinder lieben es damit Eigenkreationen (‘Nutella’, Erdnussbutter, Eissorbet, … ) zu fertigen.
It is heavy very stong and powerful,for our shop to use, ony problem need some time to clean up
Love this haven’t stopped using since I purchased. Good price too
My second magimix. I love it, excellent quality, great versatility. It is very powerful, so may need to use the pulse button more frequently.
My last one of these eventually gave up after many years of constant use — what more can I say ? I bought another!!!!!
Lovely machine and the extra attachments and scales I could send for have been great.
I am just starting to use it , I love the capacity and so far how quick it slices etc , just not had enough time to try it all as yet !
Quiet, efficient and speedy. The quality of the container is flimsier than my last one which was another leading make but overall I do love it!
Wow! This is a great product, good quality, quiet and easy to use. You get what you pay for here.
Robust machine to have in your kitchen, easy to use and very quiet. Has a useful recipe book and has various tools to use for every need. Great investment for the keen baker and for family use.
very good product.
The only reason this hasn’t got 5 stars is that the product description states the box contains a citrus press and a juicer kit. No juicer kit included. This was on of the reasons I bought this model. Not returning as need the processor for recipes.
It came with a citrus juicer, which is awesome, and a sort of ring thing to put in the top of the biggest of the three bowls for making smoothies if you want.
There are two grating discs and two slicers, plus an egg white whisk, a Dough blade and the main S’ metal blade for the main work bowls. The small work bowl has its own wee metal blade too.It even comes with a special spatula, shaped to get every last bit out of the bowls. The well designed plastic box holds all the bits safely.
No more shop bought hummus, coleslaw or peanut butter for us! Sllicing, chopping and grating veg is an absolute breeze: especially with the extra wide feed tube, so you don’t have to cut stuff up so much, if at all.
In fact, all sorts of cooking has suddenly been made just so very much easier and, for me, lacking in knife skills,also much safer..no more cut fingers, although you do have to respect the ultra sharp blades.
I have sent for a kit for cutting chips and cubed veggies, for that annual tsunami of tomatoes that need to be made into chutney: that job will no longer be a tedious messy slog!
The wee hardback instruction and recipe book that comes with it is excellent, and gives a small number of recipes that are designed to show off what the machine can do.Today is carrot cake day…or maybe mascarpone cheesecake? Hmm…the scones are great, too..
And all of the bits all can go in the dishwasher! What more can one ask?
This machine has made life in the kitchen just a whole lot better. Highly recommended.
Post Script.
Well, we have had this machine for nearly a year now and it is still awesome.
I really would recommend reading the instructions totally…I completely missed the bit where it warns that if you are using citrus, you should rinse the juice off right away…turns out that it clouds the bowl. But that just affects the appearance, not the structure or performance at all.
And be warned: this machine makes dough and pastry making an absolute doddle…so we are eating a lot more pies, pasties, crumbles, scones and quiches these days. Brilliant,.but not for the waistline!
I have never managed to figure out how to use that cubing/ chipping attachment I sent for, so can’t recommend that yet, but actually don’t really need it.
Veggie burgers are a breeze with just the main blade and it’ s a real eye – opener to see the vast quantity you get out of just a handful of veg.
Goodbye to expensive shop bought stuff with dubious ingredients, we can make our own real food now…..thanks to this magic machine!
Overall full five star for this amazing gadget !!
Every piece of it makes the kenwood feel like a toy, the slicing and grating discs are made of very thick steel, the chopping blades are as sharp as kitchen knives, the plastic bowls and lid are very tough and won’t break if you drop them and the motor is so powerful, nothing phases it.
We’ve made cookies, curry sauces, soups kofte kebabs and tonight I made swede and potato rosti to go with my haggis for Burns’ night.
As far as I’m concerned the 3 toughest materials known to man are diamond, granite and swede. Nearly sliced my thumb off once trying to chop a swede to go in a stew. Anyhow, I digress. I peeled the swede, cut in to 2 halves and dropped each one down the vast feed tube to be grated. The machine blasted thru them like they were already cooked – nice long strands, ideal for making rosti. And before you ask, they were delicious.
If I was picky, I’d say the marketing of the machine is a little unclear / misleading in that you can only process / chop food in the mini and maxi bowls, but not the midi bowl. The midi bowl is for the slicing and grating discs only, so you cant grate huge volumes of veg in one go. Small detail but thought I’d mention it.
Main thing is, it’s strong and you can put it in the dishwasher.
It’s expensive, but if you like cooking and will use it, its money well spent.
Wie lange sie hlt, muss man sehen. Ich benutze sie jetzt einen Monat tglich mehrmals. Mache 800-1600 g Nussmus/-Butter die Woche damit!
(Preis war brigens 399 Euro inkl Versand von lakeland)
A lot quieter than some food processors as well. Most that I’ve used are cheaper and you can hear the little motor whining away as it frenziedly goes at it. This thing feels like it would just calmly get on with it if I fed a dead body down the mouth piece. (Note: do not use Magimix 5200XL to dispose of dead bodies! I’m just trying to say that it feels very powerful and steady and never complains).
Anyway, I cannot fault it. I would rather buy this product once than a dozen cheaper food processors year after year. I wouldn’t be surprised if I could pass this on to my children one day.
(Oh, and if you’re trying to decide between this and the KitchenAid one, get this one. The only thing the KitchenAid one has over this is the niceness of glass bowls, but in every other way it’s frankly just not as good).
I love this machine. It hasn’t faltered at anything I have thrown at it – oversize sweet potatoes, dense fondente chocolate, dough, pumpkin soup, 20 oranges and pomogranites in the juice attachment…Love it. It does take some planning when using all three bowl sizes – you need the bigger bowls to support the smallest bowl, so you need to chop/shred from smallest amount to largest. Other than that, it’s amazing.
It does what it said it would much quicker than I can, I intend to buy a couple of extras to make chips, and grate Parmesan. I am pleased with the machine.
Wanted one for years and finally took the plunge.
Totally worth the extra money to get a magimix.
Very powerful, yet quite quiet in use. Chops through everything we’ve thrown at it and looks good in the kitchen too.
Gets used almost everyday.
I was concerned about how much use it would get but have found ways to use it that we never thought about.
Washing is easy and the different sized bowls give lots of flexibility.
If you think it’s to expensive don’t buy a cheaper one, wait and save up, you won’t be disappointed.
Love this so much! I think Amazon have got the measurements wrong on their description. This model has different (larger) bowl measurements on the magimix website, I’d trust magimix.
I love this! Used it loads already and it hasn’t let me down yet. Easy to use, clean and put back together. I love it and recommend it.
I bought this for my daughter and son in law on their engagement. They are thrilled with it and use it most days.
Good quality item very adaptable and a very useful addition to the kitche
I would like to ask the customers who have bought a magimix, if it is good for making vegetable smoothies as I would like to start eating more healthy foods. I had a juicer and paid a fortune for it and it was useless. I want a machine that can deal with liquidizing to enable me to drink the whole vegetables.
Thank you

My wife says she thinks its gonna be great – only used once but very excited!
I’ve grated carrots, cheese and apples and sliced courgettes and potatoes. I’ve pureed mango and apples and it’s performed magnificently. Now I’ve moved it to more accessible place in the kitchen – I might give pastry a go. My friend uses hers for absolutely everything. I just found I couldn’t lock the unit on the base and lid on properly at first – but that was my fault, I should have read the instructions before, rather than after trying to lock it.
It is expensive, but not for the use and years I hope to be using it for. It is not at all flimsy like some others, so it will last years.
UPDATE 2nd March 2019
Still using my Magimix all week, still looks new and I’ve had no problems at all. Last year I bought the spiraliser attachments. Pricey (at 99) but I like spiralising vegetables such as courgettes or carrots etc. The spiraliser attachments are sturdy with stainless steel blades. Unlike the electric 80 watts spiralizer I had (which was weedy and there was a lot of vegetable wasted), the Magimix attachment is as powerful as the model you have, so you can imagine how quickly everything is spiralized with the Magimix 5200XL – 1100 watt. Impressive.
Amazing and great price! It was brand new in fact and I love it!
Took a bit of getting used to, as design is different from the older model I had,but does the same excellent job. Love it!
