I'm embarrassed to say I have both. If I could only keep one, I would have the Magimix! They sit on my worktop, as they are used most days.

I’ve got a Kitchen Aid and love it. I had a Kenwood for years, till it stopped working. The Kitchen Aid does more and has more attachments but I wouldn’t day it’s better.

It has certainly made my life so much easier. More so now that my hands are useless and painful! I would thank you for one, but I like cooking and baking!

Perhaps one for them both to share (son-in-law likes baking and cooking too, like a lot of men these days) with a couple of bottles of nice wine to share as well?

Thank Marydoll. I’m planning to treat our Covid warrior to one soon. . Maybe not for Christmas - does that seem too much like buying someone a vacuum cleaner? Or, is it? Maybe it is an acceptable gift as it’s something she hasn’t got because of the expense and low priority with a young family.

Hmm.

I have a Kenwood - very good and last well - does the mixing and grating etc.

This the model I have. I'm unsure what the differences are. Expensive, but workhorses and long lasting.

Urmstongran Tue 08-Dec-20 11:32:17

Are Magimixes all the same? Or are some models better than others please?

I also love my Magimix. It can do so much more than mixing. I can grate a kilo of Cheddar in half a minute, make bread with the big bowl and breadcrumbs with the small bowl.

Magimix for me too - my DS inherited my DM's (well he asked if he could have it) and ten years on he's still using it regularly. They're not the cheapest but they do the job efficiently and reliably.

I'm on my third Magimix. I absolutely love it! I'm only on the third one, as I damaged the spindle on my previous one, my own fault.

I have been using them for the last twenty years.

I am looking for a processor that will chop and grind but also mix for pastry and cakes. I haven’t bought one for years so out of touch. Any recommendations from anyone who has bought one recently??
