Magimix 11179

Advantages: Use it for everything in the kitchen
Disadvantages: You need extra space to store blade box

...If you are not versed in the world of food processor's - you are forgiven as not many are. We recently married and decided to replace our old processor with something more up to date and modern looking that would fit into our kitchen. What do you get for your money? The Magimix 4200 comes in a large box with a handle, so easy to carry around if you are shopping (although a bit heavy so buy it at the end of your trip). The product comprises of 2 parts: - the main food processor - a separate plastic storage box for all the components. The magimix has 3 bowls - mini, midi and a main bowl. The mini bowl is a small bowl which can be used for things such as chop garlic, to make a salsa verde or pesto. Equally, it is useful when you are only chopping a small amoutn of food, making less to wash up. The midi bowl is a middle sized... Read review

Advantages: rolls of blenders
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...I found the magimix food processor a fantastic tool. I have used it so far for making cakes, curry, smoothies, soups, sauces and a number of other dishes and I'm very pleased with the results. The engine is fairly quiet, and very powerfull. It is garanteed for 12 years so magimix would have to be pretty sure it's reliable before offering such garanty. The blades are made by sabatier, the same company who makes the famous knives. It produces very smooth results, so to speak. The bowl are made of a very resistant plastic, which I have to say would probably be the weakest link in most other blenders.

Advantages: Compact Robust Reliable Fast
Disadvantages: Cannot Replace all appliances, Clean blades with care

...Magimix owners - particularly Mum - say it replaces most gadgets. With a small kitchen and a partner experimenting in the art and science of cuisine it seemed the answer to too many cooks in a small kitchen, True it’s compact, in chrome it looks good even when left out on the worktop. It multi-functions -chops, grates, slices, mixes and everything ........almost. It’s fast, great for coleslaw and cheese grating, and saves time as for many receipes all the ingredients can go in together. It's Reliable and robust - mum's is still going despite 12 years of constant use and has never had a day off. The design has improved and the speed is much easier to control. Much needed by the novice to food processing - its so easy to look away and return to puree! Magimix needs extra blades, which cost extra, but they last and stay sharp... Read review
