Magimix Compact 3200 XL White 650 Watt Food Processor with Recipe Book

I received the package and was super excited. I took everything out to inspect it and i was impressed with the look and feel of everything - high quality materials all around. I washed everything to have ready for my first use and when i set everything up it didnt turn on. I e-mailed the seller and they responded quickly with a how-to on how to solve the problem. I had everything in the right order and everything was clicking into place. However, I was locking in from the wrong direction! OOPS. It works fine and the strength of the motor is felt right away. I cant wait to use it tonight. Looks so pretty on my kitchen counter.

A really nice heavy duty machine. I bought the magimix compact 3200 XL. This size has been very sufficient for all my cooking needs so far. Especially since I am vegan and gluten free. It is heavy, so on my counter it stays in one spot. But then, this is what keeps it from bouncing around like my old processor did. Also, the motor is more powerful than my old machine to handle bigger jobs without struggling. It has 3 size bowls. I mostly just use the big one. Processes food super fast and very smooth when needed. Long cord, which is good. A good quality machine for someone who is going to get a lot of use out of it. Otherwise, go with a cheaper brand if just occasional use.

My second Cuisinart recently retired. I searched for a quality replacement, which has become a challenge in these days of value engineering. The Magimix is manufactured in France by the company that invented food processors. The design is very well thought out. The bowls have no nooks and cranies, just smooth easy to clean surfaces, and have thick walls. The three bowls it comes with make a lot of sense, as each performs a function better than a one size fits all bowl. I'll probably give away the mini prep processor I've used for years, as the small bowl does a better job.The included blades are incredibly sharp, which allow for a clean enough cut to slice a tomato without a pile of mush that most low end food processors would produce. The motor has a 30 year guarantee, and they claim parts will also be available for that long. I've grated cheddar cheese (which killed the very first no brand food processor I owned) for a batch of pimento cheese that took minutes to make. Cabbage shredded in less than a minute for beautiful Cole slaw. This is a more expensive product, but you get the quality you pay for. As a serious cook, I am looking forward to years of service from my Magimix. Haven't whipped egg whites yet, but I can't wait!

It's a bit difficult putting it together the first time but once you do put it together subsequent assemblies are easy. Also it is fairly quiet when running

This is the best food processor I have ever had, bar none. The storage provided for discs, blades etc. is wonderful. And it works perfectly for cutting, chopping, whipping cream, making pastry. Well worth the extra money.

it got good reviews but the bottom bowl wouldnt lock in, it clicked but wouldnt stay locked in. When I attempted to put the midi bowl in it came unlocked again, for me this was safety and I returned it. I dont understand why when I was looking to buy this, there were over 100 reviews now there are 11, so I wonder where they went.

Pros are pretty clear, here are the cons:- Not the easiest to clean.- sometimes you need to hold it while mixing because otherwise the lid opens.- when mixing dough - it will get stuck under the kneading blade and stop working.. I have to start the mixing in a bowl and after it becomes doughy move it to the mixerSo in summary, it’s mixed :) hahahaha

Loved it, did return for bigger model. Excellent customer service
