Bought to replace a kenwood chef. Took a while to get used to it but love it, got a free jug and bowl with it too.
I had my original Magimix for 37 years and used it regularly. It decided it had had enough so I decided to treat my self with a replacement. Made my old one look very dated. If this one last as long and has a 30 year warranty !! I am afraid I will be long gone . But I am sure my daughter will love it .
My last MagiMix lasted 27 years – it’s still going strong and I have given it to my daughter with a new knife. I bought the larger version now because I wanted to be able to have a spiralizer.
Highly recommended!!!
I love it, it’s simply efficient and such good quality. For a little or for a lot, the black one I got is so pretty as well.
Brought this to replace my kenwood chef not tried baking or making cake in it yet but with the three different bowels is so versatile have used it to chop herbs veg and made soup in it easy to assemble and to clean so the tasks I’ve used it for so far it’s been brilliant great quality and solidly made also registered my machine and just reviewed my free gift of a spiralizer attachment worth 120 really pleased
This machine cost an limp but you get two arms back in return
As a technics 1200 MK II owner, this frictionless motor makes the magi mix wiped out all other machine on the market. Its quiet and easy to maintai
The product is versatile and I bought this for my daughter in-law. I have one myself. I got her the next level up as this model crushes ice, the only downside, is it’s heavy to handle when your taking it out and putting back into the cupboard. It doesn’t slide in….so your pushing i
This machine is very powerful and has handled everything I’ve put through it. After washing the bowls and lid I dry them off with compressed air from a small compressor I have. Doing this blows ALL the water out of the main bowl handle and safety switch in the lid assembly. So no fear of mold build up etc.
Used a Magimix processor for the last 40 years. This one is even better than the last one. Makes working in the kitchen a breeze and with all the different attachments available there is not much it can’t do. If it lasts as long as the previous two (both have gone to new homes and are still growing strong)i shall be very happy.
So this is the second one I’ve had. The first went to the ex-wife and we had that for over 16 years!
This is an amazing product, large, yes and a little pricey but so very good. Easy to clean, all the parts apart from the base are dishwasher safe so sling it in and you are good. Plenty of attachments too for chopping, grating, slicing and dicing.
I’d buy this again in a heart beat should I need to.
After reading all reviews I was completely confused about what food processor to buy. Finally I trusted my gut and choose this model. Wow! I am not disappointed. I have made pizza doughs, salad shredded vegetable, hummus, almond butter… It is definitely quite versatile. Of course after each use there is the washing up. Unlike I have read, when using the smaller bowl or the medium bowl I didn’t have to wash all bowl. It may happen but I have shredded carrots without to wash the large bowl. It shred very quickly and so easily vegetable. Just use well the food processor and it will help you a lot for making delicious and quick meal.
This replaced a much loved but positively ancient Magimix 4100 which was still going strong except that the plastic bowls were cracking (again) and difficult to source. I had already replaced the bowls and the blades to give it a new lease of life so It was hard getting rid of it and buying a replacement.
We looked at other makes but having had mixers and food processors that didn’t last long it before buying our 4100, it had to be another Magimix.
The food processor works very well but it definitely seems a lot noisier than our old model. The blades bang and rattle about on the spindle, which I don’t recall happening so much with the old one. When using the pulse function the motor starts and stops with a very loud ‘crashing’ sound and causes the relays on my Computer’s UPS to click in sympathy with the presses of the button. Again, I don’t remember that happening with the old one.
In some ways it is better and in some ways it is worse. More versatile, I guess especially with the different sized feed chutes but that makes an awful lot of washing up when you don’t have a dish washer.
Having used a Magimix for many years I was sorry when it finally died. The new machine arrived promptly and although very similar there are several improvements. The drive shaft is stronger and the extra fitting to aid soup making is very effective. I am glad that my old juicer fits the new unit and the 30 year warranty for the motor is very comforting
All in all a better machine
Some reviews really threw me, I almost didn’t buy this and it would have been a real shame. Yes, it needs to stay on your counter top. Yes it’s pretty tall so measure and plan where you want it. Yes sometimes if grating lots of veg for our vegan pies the odd bit ends up in the bigger one but none of that would put me off this fantastic machine at all. It looks the biz, nice quiet sound, nice neat box for its good honest simple attachments, I’m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it.
All good. As with every food processor, once the work is done, there is a somewhat long process of washing and cleaning, but it’s just part of the game.
Sometimes, when making dough, it starts to wobble, but i think it’s ok overall.
Very powerful machine, easy to use and easy to clean. The best processor I’ve owned so far. Made an amazing bread, soup, salad. So far very impressed.
A first class piece of kitchen equipment. Extremely reliable and it looks good as well.Highly recommended
Have been really impressed with how much use I have made of this device. From cauliflower rice to baking bread have used it most days and still finding my ways around all the attachments. Really enjoying it.
Excellent product does everything you need it to do and more – pretty quiet – only downside it’s a pain to clean all the bits every time but you’d get that with any food processo
This processor is quite heavy and it has good sturdy rubber feet to stop it moving about. The motor works differently to other processors so it is reasonably quite whilst operating.
Like any food processor there always seems to be some bits that didn’t chop quite as small or grate at the end of the block of cheese… but it does a really good job very quickly!
The only down side is that there are 3 bowls which sit inside each other during operation (depending on which bowl you are using), so when using the smallest bowl for chopping small quantities/items you invariably seem to end up with bits in the next bowl down … and the same when using the middle bowl for grating or slicing – bits find their way down into the larger bowl. This results in having to wash the entire stack of bowls, lid and pusher (if fitted whilst using)
The other annoying issue is that you can only use the small bowl with the small cutting blade, the grating and slicing discs can only be used in the midi bowl, and the larger bowl can only be used with the large blade, whisk or dough blade – but not the slicing or grating discs…. so you need to make sure you prepare your food in the order of what you can do from top to bottom or you will end up with a bit of a mess.
I’m glad I got the 4200XL as I don’t think the bowls on the 3200 would have been an adequate size.
I would strongly recommend watching a few you tube videos to get an idea of size and of what you can do in each bowl.
It’s disappointing that the spiraliser costs an extra 112! I’m never going to pay that for a spiraliser.
All in all this is a good unit, with quiet operation and it does all the basic things you would want from a food processor, at a very quick speed (with the ability to pulse if you want a rougher chop)
The blades and spatula are all stored in a really useful box with a clear lid that rolls back.
The unit comes with a hard backed instruction and recipe book with some excellent recipes.
Fits under my high level kitchen cupboards. Not a mixer to keep getting in and out a cupboard – needs to live on the worktop really as heavy base. Works great with metal blade in largest bowls. Same for small bowl. Haven’t tried any other accessories yet. Putting bowls in dishwasher to clean – coming out okay. Washing up blade by hand for other family members safety as it seems extremely sharp.
Bought as replacement for my 30+ Year old Kenwood – so far so good
I am pleased with this product overall – I have had it a while and done a variety of things with it – pizza dough, cake mix, blending soup, grating etc. It is very efficient and the blades very sharp; they do they jobs they are intended to do with ease. It’s not super quiet, but not as loud as my old food processor. The parts are a little fiddly to wash due to the way the bowls stack and the blender attachment is a little messy to use. The blades come in a plastic box which keeps them all stored safely but takes up space in a cupboard, so be prepared to make some space! Overall, a happy customer. The magimix also looks smart on the work top.
I am really pleased with my purchase, bought through Warehouse sales. Not a mark on it and an excellent price. Highly recommended.
I owned an ageing basic food processor which eventually gave up the ghost . I think that washing it in the dishwasher which was acceptable did not really do it many favours .
I read some reviews especially the Which guide and decided on the 4200 xl . First of all when it arrived it was HEAVY . So my first point would be that this is a machine the rightly should stay out !! I don’t think lifting it in and out of a cupboard is a great idea and definitely not practical. It is a very good looking machine so it’s no hardship having it out on show . I have also found it being easily accessible for me I use it far more .
The machine is incredibly solid everything about it is quality from the firm seal on the lid to the perfectly arranged container of attachments . I am not going to bore you with the attachment just suffice to say everything is covered ! I love love the fine grater it’s superb .
On a few reviews on Amazon it stated that you had to use all the bowls together well you don’t need to have all three bowls in but biggest one and smallest can be used without the middle bowl . Now I have used my magimix for everything and have found that perhaps making breadcrumbs or nut butter you will get a few bits that have escaped the smallest bowl into the biggest one it’s minor and unless your fastidious it only needs a dry cloth to get the crumbs out believe me it is no drawback . It washes very easily, remember the blades are very sharp though . It’s easily put together and the extra box with all the blades is easily stored .
I bake often and went against all the rules and made scones in it from start to finish and they were the lightest ever . Everything I have made using the magimix has been amazing.
From my last food processor to this one is like going from a Lada ( remember all the old jokes ) to a Bentley !! This is an amazing machine truly worth every single penny .
Superb quality .
Have used it to make cakes so simple, straightforward and quick.Really impressed.
I had one of these for 15 years, before making the bad decision to try an alternative mixer and giving my old faithful to a colleague. The replacement (a well known brand) was a disaster – nothing worked like I had been used to with my magimix. I sold it as soon as I could as I had to get another magimix. Now I am back in heaven. It does everything – mixing, chopping, grating, easy to use, easy to clean, a reliable device which does exactly what I want. I don’t need any additional devices!
Weekly, I use it to make soup with the blender. Easy to do it.
First use was to make coleslaw, next will be dauphinoise potatoes. Had a Magimix for many years, so this is just a newer product with more “bits” on, and is excellent to have in any kitche
This is my second Magimix. I find it an excellent addition to my kitchen.
I’ll start with the CLEANING, since this is were I think most unfair reviews are and what put me off the most: It is entirely FALSE that you need to clean all three bowls when using just one. So many reviews say that. You DON’T. I have added some photos to demonstrate that. READ the instructions people. It clearly states not to fill the bowls more than 1/3 for liquids or 2/3 for solids.The ONLY case where I found ingredients flying from the small to the big bowl is when chopping really light/fluffy ingredients like leaves or breadcrumbs. Blow the leaves away, swirl a bit of water, or just use the bigger bowl for breadcrumbs. It really is that simple.
I’ve timed the cleaning: 1 bowl, normal use: 3 min, 1 bowl after kneading dough: 5 min, 2 bowls with oily pesto sauce and wet and sticky dough: 8 min. OR you know, just stick it in the dishwasher. The other thing to note is that you should clean parts immediately after use. It’s in the manual and anyone that has used any kitchen device (i.e juicer, mini chopper) knows that if you leave the stuff to cake on it, it is 100x more difficult to clean.
So indeed you do need to take cleaning time into account when calculating how much time you saved on a task. I personally would rather spent 60 sec kneading or slicing+5 min cleaning a bowl than 10-15 kneading/slicing and then cleaning the mess from the counter.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: This machine is oozing quality from the minute you unbox it. The stainless steel finish and the thick plastic on the bowl, they all look sturdy and set to last for years. This thing is HEAVY and BIG. You want to keep it on your counter so that you can easily use it. Storing it in a cupboard defeats the purpose. So make sure you have the space for it. It is very quiet..wow. My mini chopper is a lot more noisy.
CHOPPING: Does what it says in the tin. Excellent control of how finely chopped you want things without mincing them. You actually need to leave it on for a while before it minces things which is great. I made fresh salmon burgers, chimichurri, pesto, breadcrumbs all came out at perfect consistency.
SLICING/GRATING: It takes seconds, fractions of a second even. It’s just impressive how quick it is and how little (if any) waste it leaves behind. Just super efficient, no other way to put this. And the wide feeding tube is super convenient. I’ve tried Coleslaw, carrots, potatoes and I every time I was speechless.
KNEADING: I kneaded (unleavened) pasta dough as well as wet and sticky sourdough based dough and it does it efficiently in 60 seconds. I own a stand mixer but never owned a big food processor before so I had a hard time convincing myself that you can knead dough in 60 seconds. I can confirm that it does it very well. Pasta dough comes out hard and blistered just like it should. Very impressive. I’ve seen no mess as some other reviews point out, either in terms of dry flour or wet dough going everywhere.Everything is a LOT neater than if you were working with flour or wet dough on a counter. There’s some shacking indeed but doesn’t jump around on the counter like I’ve heard others do. It’s solid heavy and the suction feet work well. My mind says that a stand mixer might be better at kneading but it’s also a LOT slower.
WHISKING: I’ve used it to whisk whole eggs to ribbon stage. I guess this is one of the more difficult tasks in the whisking category. My stand mixer is certainly better at that but the result was OK.
I hope you found my review useful. I’ve decided to write an extensive one it as I had huge trouble myself making a call on this! Overall I’m very pleased I went for it. You won’t be disappointed people!
Best thing I have purchased to use in the kitchen . Easy to use, easy to wash & bonus is that all the attachments are kept in a separate box so they can all be kept together . Would highly recommend this product !
The Magimix Food Processor tools that we use are all extremely well designed, well made and reliable. A useful and neat container for the extra tools is supplied. In terms of reliability, the only Magimix item that we have owned and that has ever needed some sort of attention has been a seal in the completely separate Liquidizer. Although that was out of guarantee the replacement parts were supplied free of charge and delivery by return of the phone call.
It would take an unnecessary amount of time to detail each item in this highly flexible machine as the conclusion in every case would be one of complete and uncompromised satisfaction.
Suffice it to say that in the event of a breakdown during its working life I would expect to rectify it with the manufacturer with minimum bother. In the event of its reaching the end of its useful working life, and the motor is guaranteed for 30 years as a clue to likelihood, then an updated replacement would immediately be purchased!
In a world of the short-term this machine is an example of superiority of the long-term.
This was a present for my mum. She loves to bake and cook so this was an ideal gift. Can easily be stored on a work surface and isn’t too bulky.
Best addition to the kitchen. Sturdy and chops everything in seconds!!
Everything I thought it would be in terms of quality, ease of use and versatility.
I use this machine at least once every day for a family size smoothie, and then for cakes, bread, & chopping veg etc. It look great, and does the most amazing job. The ring for soups & smoothies is a dream, I do challenge it with the size I make but it really works. Washing up is easy, it all comes a part (even the top off the blade), I don’t put in dish washer. Very robust, the base is heavy, but it is stable and I find it easy to move. So glad I bought this, thoroughly recommend to all.
This food processor is very heavy, so I keep it on my worktop. It looks good and I use it nearly every day now. I think having it there encourages me to use it and I probably wouldn’t if it was away in a cupboard. Very quick and easy to make bread and cakes, also to chop and blend. I haven’t made a successful smoothy yet, but for everything else, I have been really happy. I was concerned by reports that you have to wash all bowls even if you only use the small one, but they usually only need a quick rinse and dry, so I find it quite easy. I am pleased with this purchase and that I could pay for it monthly without any interest.
The Magimix Food processor doesn’t exactly what we expected it to do and it has come in very handy during the Covid19 shutdow
It was for a gift. It was very well received.
After using my old amazing Magimix for about 30 years, it was time to replace it. Although the motor was still going strong, the old plastic accessories were needing replacement. I am delighted with the new model and sturdy plastic bowls etc.
Having retired my 40 year old Magimix Robot Chef, the Magimix 4200XL was the obvious replacement – and you can tell from it’s weight (the only downside) how solidly built it is. A wide range of tools/blades are included for a great value, very robust kitchen essential. I suspect this one will outlast me!
So far I have used the mini bowl for chopping and midi for grating and both worked extremely well. Do be careful with the blades though they are very sharp!
I was a bit dubious of stacking the bowls when using the smaller ones but there was no spill over.
I cannot fault this machine it does what it is supposed to well.
Totally love this product. It’s beautiful, amazingly versatile and exactly what I needed.
Fast, intelligent sturdy machine. Stands up to fairly heavy use
Expensive but a great food processor. The foods don’t overflow into the other bowls, but i imagine it might if you overfill it.
I’ve used it for pesto, pizza dough, banana cake and pineapple upside down cake, general chopping and shredding of veg.
Have had cheaper food processors and you can see and feel the difference with the Magimix. Excellent build quality and well designed with the three bowels. All blades/ attachments come in a very convenient storage case.
I would recommend this to any cook !
I received a magimix 4200xl today purchased from Amazon warehouse described as “very good”, it arrived in its original box that had the label stuck to the front of it. The box is in terrible condition and looks like it has fallen down many hills in its journey! The product inside had no protective support around it and is damaged as result. Disaster. I am awaiting Amazon’s response.
I have bought many items from both Amazon and the Amazon warehouse where everything to date was fine and well packed for safety but this is very poor and completely unacceptable.
Top grade machine. Replacing forty year old well worn but working Magimix.
This was a replacement, our original we had for 14 years and more! Replaced a few parts and has been great, so looking forward to using our new one!
The Magimix is very efficient to use, a bit clumsy and a bit difficult to wash and dry
Grating veg and slicing veg is absolutely great and is not as noisy as my last processor.
This Magimix was bought to replace an original 4100 which I had and used constantly for 20+ years with very little trouble. I have a small catering company, used to write cookery books and articles and now run a bed and breakfast in Sussex and I use the machine constantly for numerous tasks. This machine is more sturdy than the previous one and I hope will last me for as long as the last one!
I Love My Magimix, it’s a Brilliant Food Processor And Really well worth your money.
I have used it for Many Food Processes and it works superbly every time.
Recommended.
Using at the minute and use every day -very versatile -love it.
LOVE THIS! I did a lot of research when choosing which food processor to buy and am really happy with this so far.
Have used mixers before, so getting used to a processor has taken a while. Had several disasters with over mixing so am practising! Great for slicing though.
Fantastic Food Processor – since I had one 10 years ago it has so many refinements that make it even more effective and efficient. Only down side is that it generates quite a lot of washing up and even a significant proportion of a dishwasher.
Excellent quality feel to the processor…everything looks like it has been engineered with precision and it’s very user-friendly. You can easily have a conversation while it’s switched on too…unlike my food jug style blender, something that will be going to the Charity shop soon. I’m looking forward to gaining more cupboard space, by taking lots of other kitchen appliances to the Charity shop – because the Magimix will do pretty much everything that I need it to do.
Excellent service from UK Magimix too, nothing has been too much trouble for them. I also love their 30 year motor warranty…I don’t know of any other brand who would do this.
I think the learning curve for me, it will be adapting to just how quickly my Magimix will complete tasks.
I’m looking forward to working my way through their recipe book.
If you buy one….I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

We received this item earlier than expected, very well packed and a good quality item
Great food processor & makes meal prep time such a breeze – not quite sure how I survived without it!
Also, pleasantly surprised by the recipe app, it seems to have new recipes added on a regular basis.
How did I ever cook without it! A great piece of kit that is incredibly powerful.
The best purchase you can possibly think of for your kitchen.
Excellent product again. Now on my 3rd Magimix! I have worn the others out!
Easy to use product. Works wonders in my kitchen!! 10 out of 10.
But: when I prepared lemons for my lemonchutney, it has effected the minibowl. It has gotten opaque. I expect a machine of this quality to use the best materials!
And 2 tips for the manufacturer Make some holes in the bottom rims of the large and minibowl. After washing up the water will disappear easier and it might be a good idea to add a solid pusher, because the one that comes with the machine always needs a lot of work cleaning and drying
I love it. It looks great, it works brilliantly. I haven’t thrown anything at it yet that it cannot deal with. It can be a bit fiddly to clean up after use but I do choose not to use the dishwasher so that I can keep it’s lovely pristine appearance for the time being.
Well made, easy to use product. Fairly heavy appliance, so good if it can be kept near to where you will use it. No problems with transaction.
Arrived speedily and has been in much use over the festive period. I love the quality having had a cheaper one before that was such a nuisance to clean every time with nooks and crannies everywhere. This is also such a good solid build that means it copes with all I have thrown at it so far!!
Adding new parts (such as the juicer) is expensive.
The design of the lid and the plungers isn’t too smart. There are lots of long, thin cavities that food gets into and it’s hard to clean them out manually. It’s all dishwasher friendly, though, so if you have the option of bunging them in there it’s ok.
I have also mixed puddings and cakes in it and it’s been great.
I’m hoping it will be robust enough to last me for some while. Only time will tell.
The blades are in a lovely compact compartment and it also comes with a properly bound instruction/ recipe book, though interpreting the symbols involves sitting down and reading it properly. While there are some youtube videos about the machine, I would have appreciated a Magimix video that showed each part of the machine clearly and what it was for.
