Review 1 for Magimix Cuisine Systeme 5150
Kramer
fromDetroit, MI
Cooking Level:Expert
Powerful, quiet, easy to use. What's not to like? The blades are super sharp and easily slice and dice through everything I've put in the bowl. The simple, non-fussy appearance looks great and is a breeze to clean up.

Favorite Brand: MAC
Pros: easy to use, Easy to Clean/Wash, Fast/ Speed, Appearance/ Design /Style, Functional/Useful

Love it! The center spindle also seats into the top when slicing so the slicing blade doesn't wobble like the cheaper models. I don't know if I wil ever use my mixer again. Motor is so quiet.
Pros: Cord length, Fast/ Speed, Warranty, easy to use, Low noise, multi-purpose, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, durability, Functional/Useful, Weight, capacity

I've wanted this food processor for over a year, and after dropping hints to my family, my mother gave me one the week before Thanksgiving. I can't believe how much time and effort I saved with the Magimix! I do all the cooking for the holidays and have used smaller food processors in the past, the constant emptying of the bowl or stalling of the motor always slowed me down. Not so with the Magimix, the large size bowl has the perfect capacity for large quantities of food, from grating over 15 pounds of cheddar cheese, to chopping onions, the capacity and motor could handle it all! Prep work that usually took upwards of two hours took less than one.
Another great thing is all of the accessories this model came with. You get a blade storage container, 3 slicing/ grating blades, chopping blade, whipping blade, dough blade, juicer attachment, and a citrus juicer. These accessories are more than enough to get you started with this machine.
As other reviewers have stated, a small amount of food does sometimes get caught between the feed tube and blade, but I find this a small inconvenience for such a wonderful machine. Although I DID NOT have a problem with food being turned to mush as another reviewer stated. Also I did find the feed tube a little small, but you can purchase a larger one, which I plan to buy along with the other set of blades.
All in all I think the Magimix is a great food processor, that is well worth the price ( although mine was a gift) I know my mother (and the rest of the family) is quite happy that she bought this for me, because I was more than happy to make a few extra holiday treats using my new toy!!!

PennsylvaniaCook
fromCabot, PA
Amazing machine. It slices, dices, minces, purees, etc., etc. and very, very quickly. I hesitated several months before making my purchase, worrying that this would be the wrong food processor for me. Should not have waited. LOVE this machine. I'm making every cold soup possible now, while the vegetables and fruits are at their peak. My freezer is full of fresh tomato paste and sauces for this winter. This machine is very well made, easy to use and very easy to clean with the exception of the juicer. It takes a little more time and patience. A slight drawback is the size of the feed tube. If you prefer a large feedtube, I would purchase their XL model. I am extremely happy with my Magimix 5150 and my husband is thrilled eating the results.

Review 5 for Magimix Cuisine Systeme 5150
Maxie
fromSalt Lake City, UT
The Magimix has really outdone its previous Cuisinart. I loved the Cuisinart I had bought in 1975 (which is still in excellent working condition after nearly daily use) & waited to see what Robot Coupe would do next.
I just got remarried last year & my husband saw me lusting for your new product. So for my wedding gift, he bought me one. I was so thrilled that we bought one for his son who loves to cook.
It is worth every penny. I use it daily for soups, making dough, mixing & chopping. I love the different sized bowls & assorted blades which are included. The instruction manual helped me overcome any apprehension that I first had. It is the ideal workhorse for any type of cook. It also looks very attractive sitting on our newly installed counter. The pulsing action is better than the old Cuisinart since the cook has more control & the vegetables or meat are chopped to the correct consistency desired. The Sabatier blades are excellent & the storage case keeps them all organized.
Thank you Robot Coupe! You've done it again!

I had been looking to replace my 29 year old Robot Coupe food processor.I had used it sometmes twice daily, and it still goes but was pretty beat up. When I read that Robot Coupe made the magimix,(I am hoping to get 29 years out of this one!) this is the food processor I had to have. It is quiet, powerful and attractive. With the three bowls, you have all sizes in one machine. I am thrilled with it, and you will be, too.

I love this machine. Honestly, I was a little intimidated when I received it as a gift but the manual made it all a snap and the accessories are not gathering dust. You'll use everything! I love all the possibilities - I use it to make dough, chop, mix - you name it. It's also nice that it has a few color options and not just black and white.

Love it, love it, love it. This is my second one.
Gave the first one to my newly married granddaughter.
Upgraded to the 5150 however, it didn't have the larger shoot so I purchased other top along with the adaptor which were both sold seperately and they work perfectly. My husband is the main user of this new unit but we sometimes fight over who gets to use it first. Thinking about buying one for myself.

This replaces three items on my counter; a juicer, a blender and a food processor. I purchased the 6 mm discs also to make it more versatile. Very fast and efficient. I would add a bigger storage case.

The Magimix works great, very sturdy, and cleans up easily. I received it just before Thanksgiving, and so it is still new to me, but we gave it a workout over the holiday, and it performed very well. I look forward to using it for many years.
I would recommend this processor.

The Magimix arrived in a timely fashion, very well packaged,and I was impressed with the quality of the product. The DVD enclosed did not work or our equipment and I had to rely on the recipe book for instructions on use. However, the pictures and text were quite satisfactory on how to use the variety of disks, knives, etc. Quite happy w/ this purchase!

Great design, easy to use, powerful. Everything that I didn't like about my Cuisinart is perfected in the Magimix. Couldn't be happier... The versatility combined with proper power is exactly what I was looking for! I keep this on my counter and use it daily. My only complaint is small, the juicer attachment sprays a fine citrus mist on counter/floor. I now place a towel on top to catch the mist [and this could be true of all juicers, but I have only used hand ones in the past so I have no point of reference].

The Best Quality-Made in France

JohnP
fromKent Lakes, NY
I needed to replace my 25+ year old Robot Coupe food processor. The old machine is still working fine, but I wanted one with a the larger capacity. After researching all of the popular brand-name food processors, I was pleased to find the Magimix 5150 made by Robot Coupe in my Chef's Catalog. Of all the machines I looked at, this one is made of the highest quality materials and all of the attachements were included. And best of all, it's made in France.

Magimix 5150 Fatal Flaw
PostedFebruary 8, 2011
marek
fromNew York
Just like it's revered namesake (Van Halen) the 5150 has speed, grace and taste. It has been a true meal accelerator.
Unfortunately, as with all tragic Shakespearean characters, it harbors a fatal flaw. So far we've gone through two of the nylon drive shafts.
After reading on line blogs about the subject, we made certain to utilize cool water and employ the large blade when making dough.
Time to send it out for service again!
If this problem could be eliminated (with a forged steel shaft for example) the unit deserves a 5 star rating.
Cons: Construction

The only food processor for me, perfection
PostedJanuary 30, 2011
All I can say is that it's perfect. Most of the complaints I read show that the person didn't really read the instructions or read the doc's on the Magimix website. They have tips there that helped me out and I love it so much. I kind of worship it now. I have had several other brands in the past. This is better than all of them. It's made by Robo Coupe who made the original Cuisinart FP back when it was really good in the olden days. I love this thing.
Pros: Cord length, Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, quality, Material, Easy to change/Empty filter, Fast/ Speed, Warranty, easy to use, True to Color, Low noise, multi-purpose, construction, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Number of speeds, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting, Easy to view/Read, Weight, capacity, doesn't feel cheap like some

Skeptic from the outset

JonnyH
fromS. Oregon
I got this gift when all I thought I wanted was a new workbowl for the my Cuisinart (the one I bought two years ago to replace the 15 year old one). I kept the packaging till I was sure. Since then I've made coleslaw, pasta dough and sauce, whipped cream, grated cheese, minced onion garlic and herbs,
What I like: 3 stacking bowls...on several occasions I have used all 3 bowls in the preparation. mincing, grating ,and mixing without having to rinse and dry one bowl. Quiet and Strong motor. Push tube is measuring cup! Small detail but useful. High center tube allows for more liquid and less spills.
What I don't like: I have to order a 4mm slicing and grating disc but is not available from Chefs. I may also want the 6mm slicing disc....what I guess I'm saying is that each disc should be independently orderable on this website. Very pleased with this item and hope to have it for many years of food preparation!
