Customer Reviews

Worth the price
I thought long and hard before making this purchase. It's an investment to be sure, but I couldn't be happier with the purchase. This unit is so easy and satisfying to use, I find myself using it often--far more than my previous food processor.

The central post is tall so food doesn't seep out as it did with my previous unit. The food tube is not the biggest on the market (about 2"x3") but it has no annoying safety latches and catches that make it a challenge to use. You can take out the pusher or put it in on the fly as needed. I love the ease of it and haven't been inconvenienced by the size. There's another Magimix model that does have a giant insertion tube, but it comes with all the safety `features'. Others may want that, but I prefer this model.

The large bowl can be used multiple ways, including with any of three different blades (which all perform their intended function as advertised--or better). It handles a lot or a little with equal ease.

The smallest bowl has its own small blade and works as intended for very small portions, such as chopping herbs, an omelet for one, or wonderful fresh mayonnaise (their included recipe is super).

The middle-sized bowl doesn't have a blade, but is intended as the best choice for the slicing and grating disks, which, because of their close fit over the top of the bowl, keep unprocessed food from falling into the processed food. I tested the grating disk first with a rock hard block of Parmigiano, which it dispatched into beautiful fluffy flakes in seconds. On the other end of the spectrum, using a shredding disk, I shredded mozzarella with equal ease.

All bowls are very study material and clean up nicely. They all nest for storage as well as use, i.e. the middle one is used inside the large one. When the small one is used it is nested inside the medium one. This works well and one cover is used with all. I haven't had a problem with spillage into the larger bowls when a smaller one is being used.

My set came with a juice attachment which works extremely well, and a citrus juicer, which reacquainted me with fresh squeezed juice. What a pleasure--so much better than the 'fresh-squeezed' juice on a store shelf.

The whole set is well designed and all functions are intuitive so there is virtually no learning curve. The unit is heavy and provides a sturdy base when making things like bread dough that spin unevenly. It comes with a very useful scraper that cleans out any of the bowls or the leavings from the juicer. Very clever tool. The parts storage box will hold additional disks if you decide to get more.

I own a Vita-mix blender so I know that good design and real quality make a big difference. I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to this food processor. I only wish I'd done it sooner.

Superior to Cuisinart
I used a Cuisinart for about 20 years but this product is clearly superior. More sturdy and solid. Everything clicks into place better. More powerful and quieter motor. Less spill. Much better bowls and better bowl system--you can use the small bowl for many jobs. Stable on the counter. Easy to clean. It has a bigger footprint than the Cuiinart and is heavier. Overall easier to use. Is it worth the extra bucks? To me it was--I just use it a lot more than I used the Cuisinart.

Don't believe the hype! Save your money!
I purchased this machine based on the rave reviews and the Robot Coupe reputation. I am an experienced cook and my food processor gets a daily workout. I was bored with my old Cuisinart and wanted a new toy.
Purchased sight unseen, I was a little disappointed when the machine arrived. For the money, the feedtube was ridiculously small and poorly designed--causing much wasted food when slicing or grating. But it was powerful and very adequate for chopping, and I liked having the 3 work bowls...and it looked nice on my counter. But still, worth $500? Probably not.
After 10 months of ownership, I must now say DEFINITELY NOT! Suddenly, the switch mechanism no longer works! I plug the machine in and as soon as the lid is clicked into place, the machine turns on on its own and the OFF switch does not work at all! The only way that it will shut off is by unclicking the lid or pulling the plug. The Pulse button also does not work! A completely useless hunk of plastic junk!
And the best part--it's been nearly impossible to find a Magimix repair center in the US! Certainly nothing closeby. I guess I now have to pack up this heavy machine and pay more $$$ to send it somewhere to be fixed. OR maybe I'll just dust off my 20 year old Cuisinart and put it back into service--it never let me down and I guess I owe it an apology!
Lesson learned!
