Magimix 14475 LE MINI PLUS

Advantages: Excellent juicing, heavy duty motor
Disadvantages: Parts are not dishwasher proof at normal cycles.

...It has been an absolute joy to own this machine, which was bought as a replacement for a Kenwood juicer. The Magimix LeDuo works like a large centrifuge, spinning the fruit at high speed and extracting the juice through tiny holes in the outside of the spinning drum. The simple design makes it easy to clean, and Magimix even provide a tool for removing fruit pulp so that you can continue to use your machine without having to wash it all up each time you empty the pulp. EASE OF USE Extremely easy to use, the juicer can cope with 500g (a pound) of fruit at a time, before you need to remove the pulp. I have successfully used it to juice apples, pineapple, gooseberries, raspberries, apricots, grapes, and even coconut to make coconut milk! The apple juice was so good, I am intending to buy a crate of apples in the autumn. You need... Read review

Advantages: Homemade ice cream is much tastier (and additive free!) than many commercial ice creams.
Disadvantages: Getting the bowl at the right temperature is fiddly.

...The Magimix Le Glacier 1.1 will easily produce delicious ice cream, though not especially quickly! The bowl must be frozen (in the household freezer) for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. However, I have found that it is possible to use the bowl, wash it then return it to the freezer while it is still partly frozen. The ice cream mix must then be prepared; based on custard it can be awkward to make it lump-free and, of course, the mixture is then too hot to freeze directly. Indeed, Magimix advise refrigerating the mixture before freeze churning. Freeze churning, however, only takes around 15 to 20 minutes but the resultant mixture is prone to melting as soon as it is placed in a storage container! The solution is to place the container into the freezer while churning the ice cream and work quickly. Cleverly, the machine... Read review

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... Read review
