What is the Magimix Food Processor?
The company came up with its first domestic food processor in 1971, but it hasn’t been a household name, probably due to its price. It’s pretty expensive and made for severe bakers and home chefs. Their food processors are rather bulky and heavy-duty and made for those who do many home cooking or small catering businesses.
The Magimix 5200 XL food processor is the biggest model in their line of food processors. It has a 16-cup capacity and can do every kind of food preparation you need.
With attachments and other accessories, you can make desserts, smoothies, juices, purees, salads, soups, cakes, and bread with the help of this machine. It cuts food preparation time, cutting and slicing vegetables instantly with its 1100-Watt motor.
If you’re cooking for a large family, a large group, or you have a small catering business, you will appreciate this powerhouse of a food processor.

Magimix Performance
With its attachments, such as the slicing and grating discs, the dough blade, the egg whisk, and more, there’s no limit to what you can do with this machine.
The 1100-Watt motor comes with a 30-year warranty which means it’s reliable and durable. Despite being a powerful motor that can do its job in seconds, the machine is surprisingly quiet, and there’s no wobble at all. It’s heavy and bulky, though, but these are needed to make the device sturdy and powerful enough to do its job.
The S-shaped stainless steel blades are so sharp that you’d need to be careful when taking them out and washing them.
The food processor works lightning-fast and has an extra-large feeding tube where you don’t need to cut your vegetables before throwing them into the machine.

Magimix Attachments
Here are three attachments that can elevate your Magimix food processor’s functions:
1. Juice Extractor Food Processor Attachment
The Magimix food processor already comes with a juicer, but it’s only limited to citrus fruits like lime and orange. For the Juice Extractor attachment, you can make juice out of most kinds of fruits and even vegetables.
The Juice Extractor comes in a stainless steel basket where residue stays inside and is reduced to a dry pulp. All you’ll get is the juice from the fruits and vegetables, allowing you to make instant healthy fruit and veggie juices.
2. Creative Kit Food Processor Attachment
3. Spiral Expert Food Processor Attachment
The Spiral Expert attachment makes perfectly long spiral shapes out of carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, and more. You can even make carrot spaghetti, potato spirals on a stick, and more with this attachment.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extra-large capacity
- Extra-large feed tube
- Powerful and fast motor
- Accessories and attachments come with the food processor
- Ideal for large families or small catering
- Easy to clean with the bowls being dishwasher-safe
The Magimix food processor is ideal for large families or small catering businesses as it has an extra-large 16-cup bowl capacity. But, if you only need a small amount of food to prepare, you can also opt to use the smaller bowls at six and 12-cup capabilities.
The motor is powerful and slices, dices, mixes, and grates instantly. With the large feed tube, there’s no need to cut or prepare the vegetables beforehand. Throw and shoot.
Cons
- Heavy and bulky, it needs an ample countertop space
- Expensive
- Too many attachments and accessories for beginner cooks
- There is only a one-speed setting
The Magimix food processor is not for beginner cooks. It’s pretty huge and bulky, so if you have a tiny kitchen area, this machine will take up a lot of space on your countertop, and it’s not so easy to move around.
Many accessories and attachments come with this machine, so it needs to be studied and learned before you can enjoy using it. If you’re a novice cook or you’ve never cooked before, this isn’t for you.
That being said, if you want to have this in your kitchen, you need to take some time to learn how each accessory or attachment works to enjoy using the machine.
Once you do, you will have the time of your life making all kinds of dishes with the Magimix food processor.
The Bottom Line
This food processor is built to last and made from a manufacturer trusted by commercial kitchens worldwide. Perfect for users who make large dishes every day or for a small catering business, it’s like having your very own assistant sous chef at home.
While it’s a workhorse of a domestic machine, it’s not ideal for those not always preparing food at home or for those who are only cooking for one or two. It’s large and heavy and quite expensive for a kitchen appliance. It’s more of an investment rather than an impulse buy or for occasional use.
