Magimix Food Processors - Everything You Need to Know

More than 40 years ago (1971), Magimix released the first food processor. Since then, it has been an integral part of the professional kitchen. But also in the home kitchen, the Magimix has been a favourite for years. Every amateur chef wants to have such a handy multifunctional machine at home. Read more about why Magimix machines are so good, what the possibilities are and which machine is the best choice for you.

A true all-rounder

Magimix are kitchen machines in the broadest sense of the word. They can chop, slice, grate, slice, beat, knead dough, press and more. The many possibilities make the machine the perfect partner in the kitchen. A food processor makes preparing a recipe easy and fun. So you can focus on cooking and baking.

Difference with cheaper brands
With a Magimix everything is premium. The main difference is in the motor. Magimix uses a high quality induction motor. The advantage of an induction motor is that it is very powerful and makes little noise.

de krachtige inductie motor

An induction motor has fewer parts so there is less chance of wear and tear. These motors also last much longer, which is why Magimix can easily offer an extended warranty (30 years).

Easy to use
The Magimix machines are very easy to use. There are only 3 buttons on the machine, namely: auto, off and pulse. The auto button keeps the machine running at the right speed; ideal for cutting and kneading larger quantities. The pulse button keeps the machine running as long as you press the button. This function is used for grating or cutting smaller products. Because the motor adjusts itself to the ingredients, it always runs at the right speed. This way you don't have to worry about what speed to use.

Overheating protection.
The Magimix machines stay cooler in use than other brands. Nevertheless, it is possible for the Magimix to run hot during prolonged use. If this happens, it will protect itself thanks to the overheating protection.

Heavy but stable
The biggest disadvantage of an induction motor is its weight. The Magimix 3200xl weighs a total of 9,6 kg. Although this makes the machine heavier to lift, it has the advantage that the machine is very stable and, for example, does not wobble when kneading dough.

Energy efficient
The machines use no power in standby mode. So you can always leave the food processor in the socket.

How does a Magimix work?

As a basis, the Magimix food processor has the motor and controls on the bottom. On top of the motor is the large bowl with a knife, dough hook, beater or grater. Through this opening you can safely push ingredients so that your hands can never accidentally touch the blades or grater. With the included pusher you can safely push the food through the opening.

Thanks to the built-in security the machine will never start if the lid is not on properly.

Multiple tasks in a row

Number of bowls
All regular Magimix models come with 3 bowls. These 3 bowls fit inside each other on the machine so they don't take up extra space. Thanks to these 3 bowls you can cut / knead / beat / chop without having to constantly clean a bowl.

Be careful not to overfill the bowls with ingredients because otherwise it will go over the bowl into the other bowl and you will have more cleaning work.

The different types of bowls
The mini bowl has its own small blade for cutting and shredding small ingredients.
The medium bowl is made for grating and cutting slices.
The large bowl is also used for grating and cutting slices, but also for beating, kneading, mixing and blending. Use it to make smoothies, soups, whipped cream, puree, cake and bread dough.

Extra strong and BPA-free
The bowls are made from BPA-free polycarbonate plastic and are virtually unbreakable. This material is used in crash helmets, mobile unit shields, airplane windows, among other things. So you don't have to worry that the bowl will break when you accidentally drop it.

Prizewinners

Magimix food processors have won many awards for design, functions and practicality. The 3200XL was the clear winner of the Dutch Consumers' Association's major food processor test.

The Consumers' Association said the following:
"Only 4 machines could handle the 15 jobs, and only 1 - the Best in Test - delivered a good job at all of them. This Magimix is a textbook example of how hybrid food processors and food processors have become, because although in appearance it is a real chopper, slicer and grater, the Magimix impeccable bread dough to knead and fine cream and egg whites to beat," writes the Consumers' Association in its article. In addition, the machine is praised for being very quiet.

Of course, all the features of the 3200xl also apply to its bigger brothers. So they are all winners.

The different models

afmetingen magimix machines

Difference between the normal and XL models
The XL models (3200xl, 4200xl, 5200xl) have a larger opening in the lid. This allows you to push large pieces of fruit and vegetables through the opening without having to cut them up. We only sell the XL models because the extra-large opening is the most convenient.
