Magimix as it always was - only better

Reviewed in Australia on February 21, 2021

Very powerful engine, easy to read instructions, excellent attachments and doing everything I wanted it to do. Plus it arrived in Australia in perfect condition from the UK within 3 days. At a far smaller cost than here, even if it had been available.

Wow, just wow.

This is a stupendous machine. I am gradually learning all the stuff it can do.And it is a truly handsome presence in the kitchen, in its own spot. Nice and heavy, so no worries about it jumping around. Very impressive motor, remarkably not too loud.
It came with a citrus juicer, which is awesome, and a sort of ring thing to put in the top of the biggest of the three bowls for making smoothies if you want.
There are two grating discs and two slicers, plus an egg white whisk, a Dough blade and the main S' metal blade for the main work bowls. The small work bowl has its own wee metal blade too.It even comes with a special spatula, shaped to get every last bit out of the bowls. The well designed plastic box holds all the bits safely.

No more shop bought hummus, coleslaw or peanut butter for us! Sllicing, chopping and grating veg is an absolute breeze: especially with the extra wide feed tube, so you don't have to cut stuff up so much, if at all.
In fact, all sorts of cooking has suddenly been made just so very much easier and, for me, lacking in knife skills,also much safer..no more cut fingers, although you do have to respect the ultra sharp blades.

I have sent for a kit for cutting chips and cubed veggies, for that annual tsunami of tomatoes that need to be made into chutney: that job will no longer be a tedious messy slog!

The wee hardback instruction and recipe book that comes with it is excellent, and gives a small number of recipes that are designed to show off what the machine can do.Today is carrot cake day...or maybe mascarpone cheesecake? Hmm...the scones are great, too..

And all of the bits all can go in the dishwasher! What more can one ask?

This machine has made life in the kitchen just a whole lot better. Highly recommended.

Post Script.
Well, we have had this machine for nearly a year now and it is still awesome.
I really would recommend reading the instructions totally...I completely missed the bit where it warns that if you are using citrus, you should rinse the juice off right away...turns out that it clouds the bowl. But that just affects the appearance, not the structure or performance at all.

And be warned: this machine makes dough and pastry making an absolute doddle...so we are eating a lot more pies, pasties, crumbles, scones and quiches these days. Brilliant,.but not for the waistline!

I have never managed to figure out how to use that cubing/ chipping attachment I sent for, so can't recommend that yet, but actually don't really need it.
Veggie burgers are a breeze with just the main blade and it' s a real eye - opener to see the vast quantity you get out of just a handful of veg.
Goodbye to expensive shop bought stuff with dubious ingredients, we can make our own real food now.....thanks to this magic machine!

the plastic bowls are sturdy, hardwearing and can withstand constant washing and banging ...

I own an 80 seater restaurant and have two of these machines in operation daily.
the plastic bowls are sturdy, hardwearing and can withstand constant washing and banging around in a commercial kitchen.
the cutter attachment case saves space and cut fingers as they do not need to be stored in draws whilst remaining covered, clean and easily reachable.
the machine makes exceptionally good mayonnaise and Caesar dressing as the motor is neither too fast nor too slow.
I make pastry in this machine probably 3 times a day and it easily handles the weight and volume of flour, butter and water without making the pastry sweaty or putting the motor under too much pressure.
I have used Kenwood mixers of the same size, but the Magimix has the best quality component parts whilst remaining compact, easy to use and store.
for a kitchen work horse, you cannot do better than this machine

UK model works fine in Australia

Very happy with this purchase. UK model works fine in Australia, and was delivered very quickly. So far used it several times to prepare fruit for making jam, with excellent results. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy a decent food processor.

I have always wanted one but had a kitchen aid so when I needed to replace it I chose Magimix and am very happy with it

Not under warranty in Australia

Reviewed in Australia on August 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

Great product, but when you go to register the product on magimix.com.au they specify that if bought on Amazon, the product is not not under warranty in Australia (they mention Amazon UK, but even if you bought it on Amazon AU like I did, the product comes from Amazon UK... so no warranty)

Great high quality product.

Love this size for a family!

Helps ensure we eat so many more veggies, you can even sneak veggies into more things.

Lots of attachments, while they store simply in a provided case, the lid to the case is not that sturdy. One must take care when retrieving it.

We use this product nearly daily to make soups, chop loads of veggies for salads, or to make nut flours and dried fruit balls.

Enjoy that there are different size containers, so if you don’t need to do loads of something, you can always use a smaller container.

Love, love, love, the safety feature, however I still always unplug the unit before removing the lid (when kids are around or helping) and have taught my big kids to do the same.

Can’t really say enough good thing about this product!

Not impressed!

Reviewed in Australia on May 30, 2021

1. The connection of the power point is not suited to Australia, I needed to buy an adapter.
2. When closing the lid it’s not smooth and feels insecure.
3. After making one/first carrot salad it did not close perfectly and the knife rubbed the plastic. See image.
Not impressed at all. Since we are in Australia not even sure it this can be replaced....
4. Very long time frame for delivery to Australia.

This is an early days review but so far i am thrilled with this food processor.
It is just as nice as you hope upon unboxing, not packaged badly but maybe external box wall could have been better.
The machine looks beautiful.
There is a hardback manual and it is very useful as you can imagine, especiallly with this machine having so many funtions
I have made a simple homemade houmous and it was a dream to make, (using the midi bowl) and I have sliced carrots/leeks/peppers/onion and garlic and been impressed with all, made it easy and sliced beautifully. Will be great for eating more variety in salads.

Excellent produce!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2020

My first food processor and, after initial hesitation, I use it loads.
It is especially good for bread - I have arthritis so kneading dough is prolematic.
This takes less than a minute in my machine.
Great fun and great produce!
