I have bought this Magimix (very smart in black) as a wedding present for my nephew and his fiancee. There's been a Magimix in our family since they were first imported from France in (we think) the 1970s, and that one is still working! I have this model permanently on my kitchen worktop and use it for something almost every day. With its various size bowls and blades it fulfils the jobs of a score of separate kitchen machines, and with some planning can be used for preparing large numbers of menu items with minimal washing up! Grating cheese, slicing potatoes, pureeing soup, for example, all done in seconds. Should you be sensible enough to buy one of these, my guess is you'll wonder how you ever managed without it, and will never want to be without it again! Five stars every day.

Easy to use and clean, love the three bowls and work in methodical way working my way down the bowls during baking and then wash up all in one go at the end. I have so far made short bread, bread crumbs and coleslaw to test out some of the different blades etc, heavy to lift but has pride of place on the work top and quiet to use. I had been looking for ages at different brands and reviews and so far I'm very happy with the quality of Magimix.

Powerful machine very happy with it!

Still discovering all the things it can do. Powerful motor and less noisy than I thought it would be

The 4200XL is a replacement for my Magimix 4000 which I used almost daily for many, many years. I did not realize until I researched online, that a new Magimix would be so advanced. Am absolutely delighted with the machine, it has so many different functions, also very happy with the useful box that contains all the attachments. Will never have to hunt again for a missing part. A wonderful new addition to my kitchen.

Great to make quick pasta sauces!

An absolutely wonderful addition to the kitchen so versatile and very easy to use with all the interchangeable blades etc it makes things so much better.

Solid build. Heavy. Fairly straightforward instructions.
