We recently bought a Magimix 3100 for a stormingly good price at John Lewis - just £79.99. Sadly they have recently up'ed the price to come in line with most places, where it is generally £125 ish.
The Magimix is a great foor processor. Its a direct drive processor, with the motor located under the processing bowl, which means great rotational force can be delivered directly to the cutting/chopping head. (Unlike many food processors which are belt driven and have the motor house alongside the processing bowl, which reduces the effectiveness of the processing power.)
It comes with a razor sharp Sabatier cutting head, dough hook and dual-sided slicing/grating disc. There is an egg whisk, but it is mounted on a down-gearing device so it is too slow to be effective for whipping cream, egg whites etc. Hence, you will need a hand whisk with this too.
The brilliant idea of having a small additional bowl and extra cutter which sit onto and inside of the normal bowl, are great. Brilliant for small amounts and much less washing up.
