shipping was fast, but when we received the food processor, it had the wrong main blade, the bottom of which is stamped with 4200, it is physically too big to fit in the main bowl. thankfully Magimix support were able to send me the correct blade, and i'm now able to use my new food processor. overall, i like the attachments that came with it, and it's great for slicing.

Amazing I have replaced my Kitchen Aid food processor ad saved up to purchase this one after checking reviews. So pleased super easy to use with amazing results . Highly recommend Show details
I feel st^pid writing this but there you go. I bought a Magimix as a birthday present for my wife. Minutes after placing the order my stepdaughter told me she's had one sitting in a cupboard for 10 years that she never uses. I got onto Magimix straight away to cancel. Same day, within minutes. They said they'd look into it and get back to me… Read more
within 48 hours. Anyway, they got back to me to say I should have read the fine print. No cancellation, no refund. And they'd already shipped it by then anyway. So the 48 hours wasn't to help me. It was to ship the thing first and then say no. I'm in Japan right now. There's a $1,000 appliance heading to my home that I have no use for, and apparently that's entirely my problem. No phone number. Email isn't monitored. The support portal is just somewhere you wait a few days to be told no. I contacted them within minutes. Did everything I could. Didn't matter. The product itself is probably good, apparently my wife’s 10 year old one still works ok. But this company will take your money, delay the clock out on your cancellation, then hide behind the fine print. No flexibility, no goodwill, nothing. Avoid buying direct from their website if there's any chance you might need to deal with them afterwards.

I love my new magimix – I purchased this replacement for my magimix food processor that I have had for 40 years ! I know how reliable and durable they are . Now I have used it I love the addition of the extra two bowls and the slicing and grating discs are fabulous. It makes preparing food so much easier . I also received the juicer and have made some terrific breakfast juices with it. I think this food processor will outlive me! Show details
Long lasting Magimix is a great processor – I upgraded my 24 year old Magimix 5200XL to the slightly smaller 4200XL as our needs have changed. I have passed on the old one as it still works. That’s why I’ve stayed loyal to the brand and my new one is amazing. It’s very quiet and comes with all the blades and discs I need. I love the wide neck for veggies and the seal for blending. I also… Read more
love the quality of the plastic - not brittle at all. Highly recommend as these machines are so functional and last for such a long time.
Staple item to make cooking easier – My mom being the proud owner of a Magimix older than I am, we finally splurged on one of our own and could not be happier. It is used several times a week for veggie grating and slicing and has immensely simplified the process of making our own sauces and nut butters from scratch. The juice filter and its accompanying recipe book has also turned… Read more
us into smoothie fiends. It is simple to use, easy to clean and an attractive object that we love to keep displayed on the counter. Well worth the price!
An indispensable kitchen item – We chose a Magimix food processor because we wanted a good quality and versatile kitchen tool. The 4200 XL is a great size for us. It works perfectly and has already proven that it already in constant use. The dough blade in particular makes bread making easy. An indispensable kitchen item that looks great in our kitchen.

Love my Magimix 3200XL – Love my Magimix 3200XL. It work really well, love the attachments. Made pastry for the first time, it was simple and came out well, better than expected. I blend a lot of soup it does a great job even though the first time I overfilled it oops! Show details

Really happy with the ease of operation, quiet motor and the sturdiness of the base. Love the storage container for the accessories and the way the bowls stack neatly together. Finally, really impressed with how quickly meat is minced and that I don’t need a blender jug!
Follow-up · Really happy with my purchase. Love how easy each item is to clean and how quickly food is processed. Love that I can use a smaller bowl for smaller quantities like chopped herbs and nuts. Love the grater blades for coleslaw.
I have had a magimix for over 35 years, a gift from my mother. It still works brilliantly. However I decided to upgrade so have brought myself a new one. I’m enjoying the functions on my new magimix. Having the small bowls is great. Also the greater liquid capacity. I love it! Show details
Follow-up · I’ve now had my new magimix for a while. I’m very pleased I got it. I use it almost every day. It’s been a game changer for me and my cooking. Unlike my old one, it sits on my bench and is much more versatile, particularly with the 3 different sized bowls. I love it!
This is an excellent appliance with quiet operation. The quietness is enabled by one of the most powerful motors available on a food processor. The bowls are made of very tough plastic and are do not distort when placed in the dishwasher at high… Read more
temperature. The only regret was that we didn't buy the Premium to get the additional blades. The instructions on which accessory to use for different uses could be explained better in the manuals. We also have a Patissier which it would be good to replace with a Cook Expert.
Follow-up · We would like to replace the Patissier with a Cook Expert. The instructions are a hard to find which accessory to use for which use.

I purchased a 5200 XL food processor to replace an 18 month old KitchenAid. The Magimix is a much more robust appliance. I love that the lid is a simple twist and click on to the bowl. No fussy hinges and plastic clips to snap off! It also has a nice neat box to store the accessories in, much safer than unpacking a jigsaw puzzle of blades and… Read more
accessories from a processor bowl. All the accessories are clearly marked with what their function is. I really like the three bowls, ideal for different quantities of food. So far I have used it to make pastry, stuffings, burger mixes, dough for biscuits, fruit puree, grating veg for fritters and slicing veg for gratins. The accompanying hardback book clearly illustrates how to use each accessory and gives some useful recipes too. Cleaning is easy as there are very few 'food traps' in the bowl(s) and lid. As a keen cook, I also appreciate the optional extras that can be purchased. Overall, I'm very happy with the Magimix's performance and quality build.

Very disappointed, leaks everywhere – I'm so disappointed with this product. I'd read reviews complaining of how messy it was, but it has unfortunately exceeded my fears. No matter how much liquid I have in either the small or large bowl, there is leakage everywhere (including down the outside of the machine). This means that even a quick job requires clean up of 4 or 5 different… Read more
components. When I got in touch with Magimix they suggested that I use the blendermix attachment, so now I have yet another item that will need washing. Amazing that they can't design something that doesn't leak without another attachment.
For $800 this is an extremely disappointing product, and of course Magimix do not offer refunds. I wish I'd known this earlier as it's a pretty suspicious policy that they seem to enforce ruthlessly. Strongly suggest people looking elsewhere! I realised after purchasing that there are many of these available on marketplace, Gumtree etc at a fraction of the price (which is pretty telling!!), so if your heart is set on this product, I would personally be looking there so at least you're not dropping a fortune on something I think is pretty rubbish. Such a shame because I researched this heavily - by no means an impulse buy! But really did not expect it to be this bad.
Excellent – I recently purchased Magimix 3200XL food processor, and I can confidently say it has transformed the way I prepare salads. Before, chopping vegetables felt like a tedious, time-consuming task, but this machine has completely changed that. The speed and precision with which it chops, slices, and dices are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. … Read more
With the Magimix 3200XL, I can create perfectly chopped salads in a fraction of the time it used to take. The consistency is flawless—no more uneven pieces or mushy veggies. Everything from cucumbers to carrots and even delicate herbs gets chopped beautifully, maintaining their texture and freshness.
Beyond just convenience, this food processor has helped me eat healthier. Since meal prep is no longer a hassle, I find myself making fresh salads and nutritious meals more often. The time saved in the kitchen means I’m more inclined to choose homemade, wholesome food over processed options.
If you’re someone who loves salads but hates the prep work, the Magimix is worth every cent. It’s reliable, efficient, and genuinely makes healthy eating so much easier. Highly recommended!

We are downsizing and I wanted a smaller food processor that still had the power to do all I need but was more compact in design. I couldn't be happier - the motor is powerful and it can do everything that my old one did but takes up much less space in my kitchen cupboard. Show details
Excellent machine. Does all the tasks i need. Making a dough, slicing, grating, dicing. Also love citrus attachment tool for making quick orange juice. I had also purchased dicing kit. I only wished it to have bigger feeding chute for larger size potato and onion. I had purchased 5200xl along with dicing kit bundle. Show details
Excellent device. Makes all job easier. I use it for making a dough, puree, slicing, grating and occasionally dicing. I had purchased separate dicing too. I love citrus attachment which is useful in making quick orange juice. The only feedback to magimix team is to make bigger feeding chute for bigger size tomatoes and onion. I purchased it in the bundle deal along with dicing kit. So, price includes magimix 5200xl and dicing kit together Show details
Negative reviews
I am expecting a stronger motor from a food processor that cost more than $500. Not strong enough to process mince meat to make Indonesian style meat balls. Motor stopped working and have to wait about 1 hour for it to cool down. Disappointing!!! Show details
Happy with the product. Purchase process left a lot to be desired. Discount offered as a new Magimix purchaser was effectively impossible to use and there was little acknowledgment of the problem. My food processor was shipped from Sydney to Perth, then back to Sydney and finally onto Brisbane. It was only when I advised that the tracking had my… Read more
parcel on the other side of the country that anything was done to rectify the problem. When the parcel did arrive, the outer box was damaged+++, but fortunately the contents were ok. I was offered a recipe book as gift, but the book that arrived was for an accessory I hadn’t purchased, so not much use to me.
Chops fine, but you'll spend the time it saves clearing gunk from the ridiculous number of crevices – I bought this to chop vegetables and mix dough. It's powerful enough to do these, but it's not always worth the considerable effort required to clean, so I don't use it as much as I thought I would. The machine itself has a safety mechanism that engages the motor only when the main bowl, lid, and feed chute are all locked in place. I appreciate… Read more
the thoughtful design. What I don't appreciate are the numerous crevices required to make it all work. Gunk builds up in these and quickly becomes a nightmare.
Chopping: tears through vegetables and legumes. There'll be uneven chunks. Open the lid to redistribute them. Lid won't lock because some chopped carrot's gotten caught in the threads. Clear it. Chop again. Wonder how the celery wriggled up the feed chute despite not using it. Use the mini-bowl because it's half the size, so half the mess, right? Wrong. Mini-bowl needs to lock onto the main bowl. Now there's onion splattered all over the inside and outside of the mini-bowl and all over the main bowl too. Wash up. Put on a video of Martin Yan disassembling a whole chicken with a Chinese kitchen knife. By the time the bowls, blades, lids, and various parts are dripping on the dish rack, Martin's taken apart 33 chickens.
Dough mixing: powerful motor can make short work of the toughest dough. Spend 80% of the time redistributing the flour and water with the spatula. A bit of dough, too small to notice, gets trapped under the blade. Processor chugs along for a minute. Then it stops. That little bit of dough has built up. It's climbed up the inside of the main blade, spread throughout the cavity, then crawled down and filled the space between the bowl and stem. Clear these out quickly. Use the spatula to ensure nothing's under the blade this time. Pulse. Pulse. Pulse. Dead. Like homeopathy, the dough has traced its path back to the stem and clings with a vengeance. Sigh. Scrape whatever's salvageable from the main bowl. Notice that it's speckled with blue plastic shards which have broken off the spatula. Sigh. Check Gumtree for a Kenwood Chef.
In short: Use it to prep no less than 3kg of soffritto. Motor good. Accessories flimsy. Safety good. Cleaning Sisyphean.
Update: Magimix sent me a set of digital scales as incentive for this review. I used them for two weeks before they stopped working.

I’ve been genuinely impressed with my Magimix food processor. It’s incredibly solid, well-built, and handles everything I throw at it without hesitation, from slicing and grating to kneading dough. The motor is powerful but surprisingly quiet, and the simplicity of the controls makes it a pleasure to use. It feels like a long-term kitchen investment rather than a disposable appliance. Overall, it’s been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Show details

I purchased my new Magimix to replace a different branded food processor. I am much happier with my new Magimix for two main reasons. Firstly, The 3 bowls make food preparation quicker and more continuous. Secondly, I find processed food doesn’t get caught in any hidden crevices, thus avoiding wasted food. The recipe book is an important inclusion… Read more
that is easy to follow and I really couldn’t be without. I love the texture of my coleslaw the Magimix produces and I would now consider buying other Magimix appliances.
A very sturdy appliance. So easy to clean. Making your own foods is easy and they taste so much fresher than buying prepared food. Coleslaw is a dream. Fantastic addition to my kitchen for years to come. Show details
I was a bit skeptical about buying this at first but I must say now after almost two months of usage, this food processor is worth investing in. With multiple uses every single week, it helps me immensely in chopping, salad making and dough making. I am so glad it has quiet technology which saves me from having to remove children from open kitchen… Read more
space… something I value the most above all other features. Lastly, I have recently started buying products consciously so I am glad this product is made toxins free. This only downside I can think of is blending feature doesn’t work well on small quantity of food for baby meals.
Easy to use. Excellent quality, powerful motor. 3 bowls of difference sizes, which is a bonus, making product more versatile. Attachment are made of high quality.

I just bought the Magimix 5200XL and I’m genuinely stoked. My parents owned a Magimix back in the 90s, and I still remember how solid and reliable it felt — this machine brings back that exact same confidence. Decades later, the build quality, performance, and design clearly haven’t been compromised. It feels powerful, precise, and made to last,… Read more
not like a disposable kitchen gadget. It’s rare to see a brand maintain this level of quality over generations, and Magimix has absolutely done that.
Feels like buying something once, properly — just like my parents did.
After using a 3000 series Magimix for over two decades, I finally upgraded to the larger 5200XL and the difference is immediately noticeable. More powerful as it cut through all the ingredients with ease and with more attachments it has become way more versatile. Making it a joy to use, hopefully for years to come. Show details
Works very fast and easy to use I have used it to make coleslaw and salads and slice apples for tarts the large shoot is handy to keep slices even Great for mixing dough, pastry and cakes Show details
Food processor works great- effective across a range of foods. Blender insert works well. Very pleased particularly with the grating plates. I really like the different bowl sizes but can be a bit tedious to clean them all as hard to keep large bowls clean when using the small bowl. Show details
