Magimix 3200 / 5200

Item arrived with damage – My Magimix arrived with visible damage but the retailer was out of stock for this model and couldn’t replace. I took photos and sent to Magimix customer service. They said they would be sending me replacement parts. Then the next day, they change their mind and say they won’t be. They bounced me back to the retailer who’s not any more helpful.… Read more

It’s unprofessional to say a replacement would be made and tell your customer you changed your mind about it the next day! This item is sold at a premium price and therefore i expected MUCH better service. Especially considering it comes with 3+30 years of warranty!

I bought cheaper products in the past with way better (and more consistent) support. So disappointing you fork out almost a grand for a food processor and it just becomes a headache!

definitely overrated brand – I bought my Magimix food processor 5200XL in May 2020.It was in the box till nearly early 2021 when I started using it .I could use this heavy several KG bag of metal and plastic for maybe 5 times and the outcome was that bad that I had to do some work with my hand afterward to finish the unfinished job and one day, all of the sudden it… Read more

stopped working .There was no heavy long work with it. They claim they have warranty of 20-30 years for the engine, so I chose one of their closest few serviceman in Melbourne and made appointment after getting approval from Magimix . The lady in store did not explain any thing on phone .When I took it there , she told me I had to bring my bowl because they do not have bowls themselves to test the engine.it took me another Saturday morning to have a half an hour to 45 minutes travel to their shop and handed the bowl to them.Next week they sent SMS to come for the device.They handed it to me not bothering testing it in front of me for excuse of Covid -19 lock down restriction(call and pick up only).When I asked what was wrong , he just repeated himself that it was a switch problem inside the machine ! I arrived home and rushed to test this quiet heavy giant and It still looked quiet !!!.I called the service man who was insisting I had not installed the bowls correctly , although I have used this food processor before and I exactly followed the instructions.He asked me to bring the machine again after Covid 19 lock down to waste more of my time and money !! The bottom line is : Please for sake of your time , do not waste checking around Magimix .Do not trust their unreliable British designed french made reputation and their useless 20-30 years engine warranty .

Easy to use – Useful for a variety of different cooking methods. Grating, slicing and chopping are all easier with this product. We also make delicious smoothies for breakfast every day! It’s also very quick to clean and all of the attachments come in a box so there’s room for everything. I wish I’d bought one sooner. Excellent money investment if you love cooking or if you are a beginner and need some help.  Show details

Best thing I have ever bought – I love using it for slicing and dicing, sauces and pastes. I had one back in the 80s loved it, now love this new one even more, best thing ever  Show details

Slicing onions is so quick! – Finally replaced my loyal Magimix 1800 after 35 years. Now slicing onions with the 3200XL is a breeze, and the accessories kit is very handy. Just not so keen on double the washing up, as you can't use the small or medium bowls on their own. Show details

I’m in love with my Magimix! – In love with my new black sleek Magimix. What a life changer! Gone are the woes of chopping, kneading, mixing, you name it. It’s given me my cooking mojo back! Show details

Useful addition to any kitchen – Very powerful and reliable. Sometimes a little difficult to get the lid to click in fully. I’m not sure I will use all the amazing attachments but time will tell. Show details

good, still works – Still good, will use it till it no longer works ..Processes well and makes things easier in the kitchen.Is big enough for the whole family. Often look at newer models but will keep using this one for now. Quick easy to clean. Easy to pull apart, Great Quick Easy New one next year  Show details

8 years and going strong – This machine has had a thorough workout and is still working perfectly, the only replacement part I've needed has been a pusher but that was my fault it had been dropped on the tiles one too many times. As with another review I've overheated it and worried that I'd broken it but it came back to life as good as new when it cooled down.  Show details

Extremely disappointed with quality – I had had this processor for a little under 2 years when most of the small pieces of plastic from the rotator shaft chipped off (into our food). I don't use it every day, and have always taken a lot of care not to damage it when I clean/move it, etc. An authorised repairer is replacing the broken part (parts warranty is 3 years), but it will… Read more

cost me around $70 for the workmanship in replacing those parts. You would think that if parts are to be replaced, the warranty should also cover their replacement inside the actual product... For the cost, I am amazed that it has broken so quickly with little use. Was considering buying other Magimix/Bamix products, but will now avoid in future.

Little magic with Magimix Compact 3200 – When the main bowl of my Sunbeam Food Processor showed fatigue cracks after 38yrs, I bought a Magimix Compact 3200. From the start, the 2 main cutting blades were blunt, wouldn't even cut fresh walnuts or bread into crumbs. The small blade had cracked and small pieces of plastic had chipped off the holding shaft into our food. Application for… Read more

replacement under the 3 year Parts Warranty was refused by Distributors, reason being "I must have misused the product or didn't know how to use it". I was without my machine for months while the Distributor's Managers "tested'' it.....that is, did a visual inspection. Eventually I was given 2 replacement blades by a Distributors Sales rep, who agreed ''the blades were so blunt you could catch them and you wouldn't cut yourself''. Then with normal use, the small bowl cracked. Again the whole machine was sent in to be "tested'' by the Distributor: conclusion "there is nothing wrong with it". They refused to honour the warranty which was still valid.

I gave up. What seemed like such a good product, compact, well designed, and simple to use, had become a nightmare. Its promise of a compact, sturdy and simple to use Food Processor. Poor quality materials that mean its promise wasnt realised.

Broken again – Originally when I purchased the machine it broke whilst I was making a dough, per the book, but wasn't covered in the warranty now a couple of years later whilst blitzing prunes the inner shaft is wrecked. I'm not happy and after already spending a fortune on a repair I don't think I'll be doing that again. Making coleslaw, easy to clean It doesn't cope with ingredient that are a little stiffer.

dissapointed – I got this after my older magimix, which lasted over 20 years broke. This one broke within a month. I was told the warranty wouldn't cover the problem as apparently I did something wrong. I've been using it the same way I used my older magimix for 10 times as long. I feel the problem is that the blade no longer engages with the lid therefore… Read more

allowing it to wobble. Even if my husband fixed it himselves the parts would be around 150 dollars. I just can't afford it. I'm really sad that such a good food processor is no longer as strong and reliable. That being said if a new model had the long blade shaft that engaged into the lid again i would buy it if I could afford it..in a minute. Loved my old one and it worked every single day. I make my own cakes, cookies...pasta, jam...almost everything in our house is made from scratch. I thought I couldn't live without it and I can't...but I refuse to fix this one just to have it break again after a couple of uses. (model 5200, not sure about the XL one...they might have fixed the issue.) LOVE LOVE LOVE bamix and magimix...but just not this particular model. everything the blade is not strong enough for the motor...it should be stabilized by centering it on to the lid. if the blade were like the old one I would give it a five.

Magimix 5200XL – I recently replaced my Magimix 5200 as sadly it expired in a house fire. Dilemma was what to replace it with.... I bought another magimix 5200XL! I cannot praise this machine enough. It has been my saviour as a working mum of a family of 5. I do everything in it- make cakes, hamburgers, mayonnaise, hide all the veggies in the bolognaise sauce… Read more ·  1

so the kids can't find it. My last one, after 5 years was going strong, no problems inspite of being used on a daily basis. The blades are fantastic. If you are a prolific cake baker, I would advise a proper mixer. Otherwise no issues. I ordered it from Peters of Kensington, for a competitive price and it was delivered to me in 3 days! I do not live near a big city. Versatile, well built, easy to use and clean

Kitchen Workhorse – I'm a gadgetholic in the kitchen, but this is my go to piece of equipment; it is versatile and reliable. After having gone through several Breville food processors I bit the bullet and "ponied" up the money; and I don't regret it. There is also a stir fry blade, which is very useful. The new ones have 30 year motor warranty and have even more… Read more

functionality. Reliable, quality feel to locking mechanism, light bowls. Buttons can "stick", need to scrap food back into bowl to process everything.

Love it – We use this machine a lot more than we initially thought we might. It gets used for grating cheese, making cheesecake, slicing potatoes, making shortcrust pastry and all sorts of other things. It has never missed a beat. Love that there are 3 different size bowls - so when cooking smaller amounts or just chopping an onion the small bowl is… Read more

perfect. Have had the machine for more than a year now and never a problem with it. Came with lots of attachments. The bowl size on the biggest bowl is great It was quite expensive but we figure cost per use over many years will even it out !

Worse Piece of Junk - Warning don't buy it! – Don't waste your money on this over priced piece of junk. We are so disappointed. Died on us the first 6 months we got it unfortunately what went wrong was not covered by warranty. Spend $200 out of pocket after paying over $900 6mths earlier. 2 months later the mechanism that spins cracked. Very poor quality on this product. Never again I will… Read more

buy this brand. I thought I was getting the best Food processor in the market but I was wrong. Never again Magimix! You lost a customer for ever and hopefully many more after this review. It was great for a few months. Poor quality product. Won't last more than a few months.

OK – I purchased this after having a Braun for many years (great brand). This is a versatile processor that pretty much does everything that they say it will. the only drawback is the mixer blade (for whisking and beating) is too flimsy and bends if you are mixing anything that is thicker than a light cake mix. Mine is now slowly breaking apart with… Read more

every use. also when whisking/beating the blade doesnt pick up the liquid on the bottom or in the very center, this means that you have to scape every now and again to ensure even mixing. the chopping blades and graters all work very well. two bowls means less cleaning when preparing a meal. Lots of attachments for various jobs. small bowl and small blade for small chopping tasks. mixing blade is flimsy and bends out of shape. plastic bowl scratches easily.

Excellent – I chose the Magimix 5200 based on the Choice article and am very happy with it. The 130 page book provided has clear illustrations and text, and includes a glossary & recipe index for over 70 recipes in 8 categories. Highly recommended. I have the 5200 model. It's very easy to clean, and simple to use. The mini bowl is for blending or chopping… Read more

herbs/garlic etc well, and can be put in the microwave, minimising washing up. You don't have to remove the other bowls to use it.

The midi bowl is used for grating/slicing and the 2 double sided discs provided work really well - grating or slicing in 2 thicknesses. Excellent!

The large bowl is great for all mixing/chopping jobs and is used for the provided citrus juicer (I now make orange juice each day - rinsing is very quick aferwards) I've ordered the juicing attachment for hard fruits/veg so will be interested to see how well that works too.

I like the tidy box for attachments, the powerful motor, automatic failsafe, and I think the machine looks good. I've owned it for two months, use it every day and can't think of any cons. Choice magazine tested the 3200 which came first in the catgory but the test found the dough-hook to perform poorly, and suggest using the metal blade instead which did well. I haven't tried this.

I've been using an excellent Moulinex for 20 years, which was much harder to clean, but had a tiny mini bowl for processing as few as 2 cloves of garlic brilliantly. It's the only thing I miss, the Magimix's smallest bowl needs more food in it to work as well.
