Advantages: very powerful and fast

Disadvantages: difficult to keep the bowl clean

I have a small sandwich business and grate alot of cheese and slice vegetables etc.
I have owned three food processors in ten years due to the heavy wear and tear my third machine the magimix I have had for four years now and it is still going strong.

It has various attachments that come standard with the machine but more than adequate for my needs.The grater disc for cheese is good, I can grate a Five kilo block of cheese in less than four minutes,used to take me hours with a hand grater.......my previous choices of food processors burnt out very quickly mainly because of the cheese grating twice a week,the motors couldnt keep up with the demands I put on them.This Magimix just whizzes on and on.

Slicing carrots and onions etc is really easy the work is done in seconds and of course you can choose the thickness of your slices with the various discs provided.

The meat mincer blades are good they are lethal to handle so be careful when you are washing and drying them,actually all the metal discs are very sharp<I always keep them in the box provided with the magimix and store it in a high reaching cupboard with grandchildren visiting,you cannot be too careful.

There is one big draw back to the magimix.,
Keeping it clean,.The main bowl has a fixed handle and this has a spring attachment inside it . It is for safety when you put the bowl onto the machine with the lid on ready for use the spring loads to keep the bowl in place,all very reassuring,but the handle is hollow and has so many nooks and crannys .
I have used a bottle brush and really tried to get the accumalating food content out of the handle but to no good Im afraid.The bowl always looks grubby and unclean it has gone a horrible yellow colour and I must admit I hide it away in a cupboard now when not in use,it is abit embarrassing,still I will buy a replacement bowl soon,it will be worth every penny.
