3200XL

I bought this food processor to replace a 4L KitchenAid one which was enormous, fiddly and awkward to store. The Magimix is a much better size, easy to use and easy to clean. The storage box is great for keeping the accessories in and it isn’t too big. The different size bowls are very useful to use and can be removed depending on the size chosen. Some people have complained that when using the smaller bowls the bigger bowl gets dirty. I certainly haven’t had that problem. The slicers and graters work very well. They grate and slice evenly. So far I am really enjoying using the processor and look forward to many years of use. Also, if you order one before the 31st of January you can go onto the Magimix Uk website and claim a free Emile Henry bread cloche or a free spiralizer. Both of which are worth over £100.

Well! What can I say but 'WoW' I am a retired chef of 50 years plus and always used magimix professional spec... However this machine is absolutely superb for any ability of cooking .. So easy to use and no worries of the motor burning out if used to instruction I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who uses their kitchen . Thank you Magimix 😊 Alice

What can I say ? It’s the best of the best does just about everything. Love my magimix. It’s extremely versatile.

Bought this to replace 30year old magimix as the bowl had cracked and replacements aren’t available anymore. All in all it’s still a good machine principally for the power of the motor and the solid feel. However, this newer model has all sorts of attachments and design features which are cumbersome to use and don’t feel like an improvement on the older model IMO. I think it’s because they have tried to make it function as a blender too. I particularly dislike the 3 part funnel. The previous 1 part funnel worked really well and now there are extra bits to fiddle with and clean every time I use it. The previous lid was more straightforward to lock on/off too. Missing my old one already.

I cook for one in batches of two or three, as I have limited freezer space. (I don't bake often, though, so please keep that in mind!) When I'm short on time and energy, I'm limited in what I can prepare and there's some stuff I just can't be bothered with if I have to prepare by hand. I did a lot of research on different food processors and I decided I'd rather make a good investment than get something that I'd eventually outgrow, or would itself be an added pain to the cooking process. I have a small (but not tiny) kitchen and this sits fine and compact on the countertop all the time. It works perfectly and is a pleasure to use as it's powerful and quick. It's easy and reassuring to see when the locking mechanism is in place as you can look at the spring on the handle. The instructions are clear, though it wasn't immediately apparent that they were in the hardback recipe book. I love the different attachments (that was one of the reasons I selected this processor over others); they do take up some cupboard space but it's worth it to not have to grate/slice cheese or vegetables by hand. It's also not especially loud for a food processor. The parts are easy to put together and wash by hand, and as we have no dishwasher that's no problem either. I usually have to clean the motor with a damp cloth after use as I find it easy to spill food debris, but that may just be my clumsiness + usage in a small space with limited counter real estate. Overall a very good lifetime investment. I'm glad I shelled out.

Well I've just retired and although I've got a cusinart model 15 months old I always wanted a Magimix I had for a couple of years the mini but it was limited to what it do do.I was a Salesman in Comet for 15 years etc I sold the full size magimix along side other cheaper makes . but this was regarded as king of food processors , but not a rolls Royce but a BMW , Audi , Mercedes Benz etc a much better compliment here . I've use the magimix 3200xl now 3 times in first week approx maybe 4 times making stew , grating cheese ,of course chopping carrots ,onions and potatoes. Plus slicing carrots for stew 4mm blade . This machine is a joy to use and will myself get many years of use etc . The machine is heavy and solidly built , also note large plunger has slots that engage in lid so please be aware as will not work unless plunger has been slid downwards to engage safety mechanism etc Does grated cheese very well fine grate 2mm blade yes the cheese does sparkle in bowl afterwards . Made in France .The instructions are at beginning of cook book and in colour

I love my Magimix as it does everything I need it to do. Mix cakes and soups, chop and grate vegetables, mix pastry. It pulses salmon and fish to make fishcakes. It can make pate too but not yet tried. A perfect machine that is easy to clean. Highly recommended. The only downside is that I have to return my juice press that came with it as one of the small inbuilt screws at side was broken and the handle does not stay on. Otherwise PERFECT.

A replacement for our 3100 which was about 20 years old. The grating disks fly through carrots and other veg and salads seem tastier than with the 3100. Purées come out silky and noticeably smoother. Finally the acrylic (?) of the bowl etc is very different, it doesn’t attract smudges and fingerprints like the 3100 and is really easy to towel dry. Downsides are — 1: there's loads of slack between the spindle and the blade, they rattle alarmingly, so I've had to wrap the lower part of the spindle with insulating tape. 2: the bottom of the feeder tube only comes to within ~ 6mm of the face of the grating disk, and lumps of cheese break off then drop into the bowl intact. If you enjoy picking through grated cheese and snaffling the lumpy bits, I guess that's OK. If you're actually trying to cook it's a pain. So back to the Oxo good-grips grater, at least for cheese. 3: the case of the base unit is decidedly flimsier than the 3100, it flexes as you attach the bowl — not a problem but a bit disconcerting compared to the solid construction of our old magimix. All in all, a not so happy (and significantly more expensive) replacement. I suggest you get hold of a 3100 instead if you can still find one, it's a much better design and build.
