Magimix - 5200XL Premium Satin Food Processor

Generally speaking, Im quite happy with this machine, though I dont know whether its just because I always wanted a food processor, and whether I wouldnt be as happy or happier with a competing product possibly at fraction of the price.I chose Magimix as it seemed to be a well established name, and it offered a great selection of peripheral accessories sadly quite pricey, but they can be easily picked up for next to nothing on eBay.

I love my new Magimix 5200 XL premium food processor!It’s super fast, the blades are unbelievably sharp and the cut is precise each and every time. I’ve had it for several weeks now, use it daily. Today I made a decadent dark chocolate and raspberry tart (using salted butter to make the tart shell)Then I made a hommus in the mini bowl, sliced carrots and celery in the midi bowl to make a soup for lunch. There’s no need to wash in between as having the three bowls saves time.All dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash, but be careful as the blades are super sharp!! I did cut my thumb as I washed blade.Lots of attachments included in the premium. I wish the dicing/chip kit was included in the price…You get a 20% off voucher for any other Magimix attachment and ... MoreI love my new Magimix 5200 XL premium food processor!It’s super fast, the blades are unbelievably sharp and the cut is precise each and every time.

I did have to wait over a week for item to arrive, I was told it’d take 1-2days. So excited when it did! No regrets at all.

Not impressed with this food processor. It's as though it was designed on paper and not actually tested. To use the smallest bowl, you need the middle and large bowls, which inevitably end up getting food on them so all have to be washed. Removing the blade from the large bowl after processing results in food going down the hole in the middle. Nowhere in the instructions does it say that you must use the smoothie ring for any liquid, and that if you don't use it, liquid sprays out through every gap in the lid and all it's components. Even with the smoothie ring, or when processing powder ingredients, the food/liquid works its way under the lid so that when you remove the lid, the ingredients drip/fall onto the bench. It's as though the motor is too powerful. The ... MoreNot impressed with this food processor. It's as though it was designed on paper and not actually tested.

It's as though the motor is too powerful. The citrus juicing attachment leaks juice down the outside, back of the bowl, onto the unit, everytime you lift the lid. I was sucked in by the very high price of this food processor, thinking that for that price it must be a high quality machine, but there just seem to be too many design flaws.

As a chef, I chose the Magimix 5200XL for home.

As a chef, I chose the Magimix 5200XL for a number of reasons: it has a solid build and blades - which are similar to a commercial food processor. The product also comes with impressive warranty. The Magimix has amazing processing speed and power. I now knead dough in thirty seconds which is a vast improvement to kneading by hand for twenty minutes! It is easily cleaned with parts able to go into the dishwasher. It looks beautiful – displayed on a shelf in the kitchen within easy reach. Though I have not yet had the opportunity to try out all its capabilities, the prospect is exciting. Now, in my home kitchen, preparing recipes will be made far easier for the whole family. As a company, Magimix seem to be tailored for easy transaction with the customer, including ... MoreAs a chef, I chose the Magimix 5200XL for a number of reasons: it has a solid build and blades - which are similar to a commercial food processor.

Magimix 5200XL

I cannot fault the customer service, order was delivered the next day and excellent communication. Friendly delivery person. As for the product - I’m extremely satisfied with it and I am looking for excuses to use it. Grated 2kgs of cheese including mozzarella in minutes. Makes very creamy hummus. My daughter and I are excited to experiment with bread making, pastry and juicing the lemons from my Dad’s tree. Highly recommend.

Magimix 5200XL food processor

I am very satisfied with the product, I have been using it daily to make different dishes such as hummus, pesto, tofu nuggets mixture, slicing apples for a crumble, grating zucchini for quiches, chopping onions and garlic and chopping nuts for Baklawa. It is quieter than my previous food processor and very efficient. I love the three sizes of bowls and use the small one very often.The blades are very sharp.Only downside is the cleaning as it is recommended to wash by hand.

Retro vibe/hi-tech performance 5200XL Premium Food Processor

This food processor is simply wonderful. Speedy, chic, all-singing and all-dancing. Very pleased with it. Seems very sturdy and comes with ingenious and robust gadgets. A word of advice, don't expect the "creative kit" x 3 blades to be the julienne kit. It's not. Magimix's online video is a tad misleading. Given that this is a top-of-the range model, you would possibly expect the kit to contain the julienne attachments. But no, sadly. They have to be ordered separately. The included-in-purchase price "creative kit" contains slicing blades and a Parmesan grater. Our model also comes with a juice and coulis attachment, which we don't really need. However, it looks jolly user-friendly if you do need one.Ordered as a joint Xmas present for my husband and me. Initial ... MoreThis food processor is simply wonderful.

Initial online payment a headache - to explain: I used PayPal to pay/immediate email back from John Lewis cancelling order because they said PayPal refused payment. The following morning, rang JL and they confirmed order cancelled - so paid via phone VISA for a replacement order. Then found PayPal payment HAD gone through. However, JL rectified the error within 24 hours.

Very happy, worth the money

I am so thrilled with my Magimix 5200XL so far! It feels so solid and sturdy and is super easy to use.We are a family of 5 and my husband bought me a cheaper (but supposedly still good quality) kitchenaid food processor 3 years ago whose motor wasn’t so powerful and just couldn’t cope with the quantities I was trying to work with - so the blade would often jam when I was making things like bliss balls or burgers. I’d often also find myself fiddling around taking the lid on and off so I could push ingredients back down into the bowl to be blended properly. It ended up being easier/faster just to do things by hand or with a stick blender :-(So The first thing I made with my new magimix was lamb burgers and it chopped up the onion and parsley so finely and then ... MoreI am so thrilled with my Magimix 5200XL so far!

not worth the money

i bought this food processor and spent the extra money thinking i was getting a product that had value, would be well made, would make me wonder why i hadnt bought it sooner, esp after reading some of the reviewsafter 1 month all i can say is, am i missing something? because this was clearly a waste of money!the juice press - its so bad i have to strain the juice because there is so much pulp and fibre in it, also clean up the mess from the bowl because there is no pour spout so the juice ends up going everywhere.the small bowl - can barely hold anything and when you do try to use it, it flows over into the medium bowl, causing more clean upthe food shoot - you have to pre cut all your vegies so small just to fit under the fill line, you might as well ... Morei bought this food processor and spent the extra money thinking i was getting a product that had value, would be well made, would make me wonder why i hadnt bought it sooner, esp after reading some of the reviewsafter 1 month all i can say is, am i missing something? because this was clearly a waste of money!the juice press - its so bad i have to strain the juice because there is so much pulp and fibre in it, also clean up the mess from the bowl because there is no pour spout so the juice ends up going everywhere.the small bowl - can barely hold anything and when you do try to use it, it flows over into the medium bowl, causing more clean upthe food shoot - you have to pre cut all your vegies so small just to fit under the fill line, you might as well continue chopping. the processor simply will not run unless they are chopped smallthe dough attachment - first time i used it, it could barely handle it, dough ended up everywhere, a complete mess and ended up having to transfer to my kMix.i should have bought the smaller model and just kept my expectations in level with a basic food processor. severely disappointed.
