Magimix - Cook Expert

The oft-recommended Cuisinarts are fine and pretty good value for money, but if you have the budget for it, a Magimix or Breville is *way* better.

Magimix 100%. If you can afford it, it runs circles around a Cuisinart in every way.

A large, high power food processor (like a Cuisinart Custom 14, Magimix, etc) does a very good job kneading doughs under many conditions, but it's not a complete replacement for a mixer because it's not great at things like batter, whipping eggs, etc. Of course, a food processor is your best bet for stuff like hummus. If you don't have the space or budget for both a food processor and a stand mixer, you can do a food processor plus a *hand* mixer instead for a lot less money and minimal tradeoffs in terms of capabilities.

Magimixes are great (my mom's Cuisinart Custom 14 feels like a poorly designed toy compared to it) and come with a smaller bowl insert. Certainly doesn't take up less space than the Cuisinart though. imo big food processors are the only ones worth having though.

If you're really, really serious about making doughs, look into a Magimix. It's significantly more expensive, but *so* much better. More powerful, much better warranty iirc, way more thoughtfully designed, and more (actually very useful) accessories included. The Cuisinart Custom 14 is a solid value, but beyond that I genuinely don't understand why so many people rank it the best food processor

Came to say that. Robot Coupe's home brand, Magimix, is excellent too. They have a 30 year warranty on the motor.

The Magimix food processors are made in France. They are probably the best food processor you can buy, and the first Cuisinart was a rebranded Magimix, at the time known as Robot Coupé, a brand the company uses for its commercial products. Magimix guarantees their motors for 30 years. They also make blenders, but I have never used one. The only drawbacks to the Magimix are its weight and its cost. They go on sale at times through a vendor called Erresse Shop in Italy that will ship, it's where I bought mine.

Robot coupe or their residential side - Magimix A good ol' cuisinart is a good choice too. The other box store brands are toys. Don't even consider them.

Cuisinart 14 cup or Magimix are the two correct answers. If you really want to go down the BIFL rabbit hole, grab a robotcoupe. It's the commercial version of Magimix

Avoid like the plague. Especially these type of devices. Vitamix blender and a cuisinart or Magimix food processor is the way to go if you're serious about BIFL. Pick whichever one you use least frequently and store that in the cabinet to save counter space.

Magimix or cuisinart. Or if you're really serious Robot Coupe (who owns Magimix)

Magimix is pretty awesome. The motor comes with a 30y guarantee and the rest is covered for life. As far as I know, products are made in France. Replacement parts are easy to find, either directly from Magimix or through third party suppliers. They also share technology with their professional counterpart, Robot-Coupe, which is very well-known here in France.

Second the Magimix. By far the best I've had, and I've owned a lot of them (they didn't last long). I never thought I was being terribly demanding; I just wanted one that was durable. I even went through a Breville sous chef in just a couple of years--parts kept breaking, motor strained, etc.

Ce sera mon prochain, j'ai aussi le TM5. Le Magimix est polyvalent et sans plastique...

I have a magimix and it's one of the best appliances I've got in my kitchen, I used to buy cheap ass 40 dollar food processors that didn't really do much, the magimix does everything I need do. Awesome and simple yet sturdy device.

Magimixes are great (my mom's Cuisinart Custom 14 feels like a poorly designed toy compared to it) and come with a smaller bowl insert. Certainly doesn't take up less space than the Cuisinart though. imo big food processors are the only ones worth having though.

Agree with this. It is industry standard and Robot Coupe will also service it and provide spare parts forever. No need to worry about plastic bowls either. Stainless steel bowl. If you want a more domestic focused alternative, Magimix are made in France and very reliable.

Magimix is the classic. Made in France. Just replaced my 31 years old one with a new one before finding out I could have just bought a new bowl for the old one. Wonderful piece of hardware that won't last you a lifetime, but certainly close.

If you're in Europe, go for Magimix. I still use the one I bought 25 years ago.

It works fine for the small yeast loaf that I make for church. Takes just under 1 minute to get it into a ball. You still have to knead it a bit to get to the window pane stage. But if you are making bread in quantity you want to use something else. I am happy with my magimix food processor.

Magimix is the best, made by Robot Coupe. Incidentally, the original Cuisinarts decades ago were also made by Robot Coupe.

C'est vraiment de la très bonne qualité

Je trouve que c'est un appareil beaucoup plus polyvalent que d'autres au niveau du rapport qualité prix je pense que c'est imbattable. Il faut juste un peu de place pour les accessoires.

I have an old ass magimix at work (\~10 year old) and while it is not used to exhaustion everyday it's quite well used - never had a problem with it. has a \~2.5 L bowl, but I think there are bigger models. can't talk about the newer models, worked with an even older one in the past (18 - 19 year old one!) and did not have any problems with it either

I bought a Magimix Food Processor for this reason. It indestructible, and so consistent. Complete pain to clean and store, but the results are worth it.
