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.

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

So far so good. I did a lot of research before choosing the Magimix. The processing, blending and chopping is amazing
There is definitely a technique to it though. Still working on mastering the art of not spilling into other bowls and the first time I sliced some veggies I misjudged how much I had and used the biggest pusher where the medium would be better and smoother. However it processed everything in seconds - brilliant!
Loving it

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.

The blades are really sharp which is great for slicing, but care must be taken when removing the blades as I badly cut my hand removing the slicing disk the first time I used it. It’s a little stiff when clicking the lid on and removing the blades, but I’m hoping this will improve with use. It is a very quick food processor when slicing and grating and overall, I’m very happy with it.

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!

I made a vegan Mexican meal using the largest bowl and blade to make a cheeze sauce, the middle-sized bowl with shredding and slicing attachments to prepare the vegetables for the salad (which took less than a minute) and the smallest bowl and blade to make the chilli sauce. I didn't have to change machines at all!

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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 Distribut...

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.

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 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 rel...

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 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...

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

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 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 !

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 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.

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 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 choppi...

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 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 ...
