Magimix5200XL Food Processor | 3.7L BPA-Free Bowl | Quiet & Powerful Motor | Multifunctional 7 in 1 Solution | Satin | 18591

All round good product. Only thing I would have liked was a manual included, but if I need, I can look atuff up. Quiet to use, too, which is important with some of the functions.

The Magimix is very simple to use , easy to clean and extremely powerful. We've used it a few times now to mix bread dough. It does it with ease and in 30 seconds ! Makes very airy bread. Chops and slices with ease. The only down side is that the price for a powerful motor is it's heavy weight. However given that it's not that big, managed to keep it out on the worktop. Highly recommended if you want a mixer that will last and cope with hard jobs with ease

I wish I’d got something cheaper and better, very important the small bowl for smaller amounts chucks food over the sides, so pretty useless, then you have to clean the whole thing, and the bowl it’s self has no way pouring without making a mess, I admit it has a lovely quiet motor but has to be functional and for the price I’d expect perfection.

Toyed with the idea of getting a Kitchen Aid before realising I needed something that did more. I don't bake as much which is why I chose the Magimix over the Kitchen Aid, but ironically have baked a lot with it! We've not had it long, but it's a heavy duty mixer that does everything - juicing (not like a proper juicer though!), mixer, slicer, shredder - I no longer need all my other appliances as can consolidate with just this one appliance.I've re-discovered a love for cooking because there's less prep time (sorry to Kenwood, the mini chopper has worked wonderfully for us over the years, but it's time to go now that we need to do more batch cooking!). We're a family of four with two young kids, so the 5200 is more than enough for us - managed to simultaneously batch make 4 dishes, a cake and a soup over a couple of hours with this on the first day (which otherwise would've taken me twice as long with our tiny mini chopper!). A total God-send.

excellent quality and seems to be better value that the last one we bought 6 years ago

What can I say? This is the best quality food processor you can buy. Previously had the smaller one but after 20 years I treated myself to an upgrade.The ONLY downside to this machine is the weight, it is heavy. I would suggest finding a spot where it can stay all the time. If it’s in the cupboard it’s a hassle to lift in and out. Mine lives on top of the butchers block so that it’s easily accessible. The accessories come in a separate storage container. The motor has a 30 year warranty so it will probably last longer than me!

Very disappointed. Storage box for blades arrived broken.

I’ve had the Magimix now since 2017 but used it only sporadically due to complicated bowls usage/ stacking and amount of cleaning afterwards. If you try to mix pastry dough, the flour spills out of the lid so you do still get messy surrounding surface. And on two occasions the drive shaft got shredded and I had plastic bits everywhere and the machine won’t work anymore. So annoying especially since not a cheap item. Motor seems to be strong though. No use if it constantly breaks.
