Emptying a Magimix!

I`ve got a Magimix Compact which works well but I`m being increasingly put off from using it as it is such a pain to empty. If you leave the blade in you can`t scrape out the bowl properly as the blade is in the way. If you take the blade out you risk the contests spilling through the hole in the bottom.
In most ways this is a really well designed machine but this is a major flaw.
Unless I`m doing something wrong?!
