Full review
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. The blades are easy to change but the metal ones need careful handling when washing. Washing the bowl and blades is best done under a running tap (to get into the niches) drying is more difficult but not impossible.
Our Kenwood Chef now lives in the loft. But we have found that we still need two appliances.
A small mixer for cakes - we have found that Magimix sponge cakes don’t rise as well.
A Mincer; There isn’t a mince blade you can use the meat blade which finely chops very well but we prefer a coarser mince for burgers and sheperd's pie etc - of course most people buy meat preminced so for many people this isn't an issue.
Overall I wouldn't be without it but don't throw your other appliances out till you have tried it through.
