It has features that make it far and away more useful than my previous food processor. It's so satisfying, easy to use and reliable I sometimes use it multiple times a day.I find it so easy to switch between various functions, its usefulness just continues to grow. Yesterday I made a quiche that required chopping leftover turkey sausage and steamed kale, grating cheese, mixing eggs and cream and chopping herbs. All told it took about 3 minutes to do the various functions and pour the resulting mix in the pie shell (made with the dough blade earlier). This last summer I processed huge amounts of summer produce which I put up for the winter and am now enjoying all that bounty. One thing about the Magimix is that the central tubes in the bowls are taller than other food processors so you don't have to worry about leakage. I use it as a mixer regularly, which works great...Read more 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Magimix Cuisine Systeme 5150 Few are the times when you feel good after spending >$500 on kitchen stuff, but this is one of those. Looks good, and performs even better. Fairly easy to clean, and even the little booklet that comes with it provides classic knowledge in the fine art of French cooking (you can tell it's a direct translation from French; like set oven to 355°F....). Had it for 2 weeks now, and it feels like I can do things with more confidence compared to the various brands I have had before (name it, and I probably owned it). This is a "no BS" machine that does what it says, period! And quietly, I might add. This together with my Le Creuset cookware are my favorites in the kitchen right now. Sorry Amazon, but I ended up buying it from another vendor. Don't know why, really... 20 of 25 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Magimix Cuisine Systeme 5150: Black I owned a Cuisinart for nearly 35 yrs. & loved it...every moment of it. It was then manufactured by Robot Coupe before it was bought out by another company abroad. It was heavily used & abused during its years of service with me. But, my husband died, I moved & no longer had the larger family for it. Twenty years later, my new husband wanted to treat me with the NEW & IMPROVED Robot Coupe which I had so highly praised! I used it sparingly & 3 yrs. later, the switch mechanism stopped working & I had exactly the same problem as another reviewer. Try to turn it off & nothing...tried pulsing, turning off & finally, pulled the plug on it!!! This was during the Christmas holiday season when I most needed it. I eventually finished my cookie batter by twisting the cover off or unplugging the Robot Coupe. You had a great reputation but cheapened it & I am very unhappy about this product & your name. I will follow Amazon's writer/reviewers opinions re these products...Read more |
