Magimix Le Mini Plus Black

I was looking for a small food processor to help me with my daily cooking (we are 2 people) and to leave it on my counter. I already had good experience with my 12-year-old Magimix 4200XL, which I still use and which still works great, but I now only use it for the larger cooking and baking. So a Magimix was the obvious choice for me. I must confess that I had no less than two copies with problems before the third copy (which I now own) worked well. I was disappointed with Magimix, but CoolBlue has shown itself to be a super supplier with fast and pleasant service! I have now been using my machine quite intensively for a number of months, almost daily. It does exactly what it should, is nice and strong and easy to clean. Ideal for chopping onions and cutting or grating vegetables for an evening meal or lunch. Beating proteins works perfectly, as is known from Magimix. If you use the small mixing bowl, the large one just stays clean, which is also very handy! It takes up little space on the counter, which is important to me, and it also looks nice. What surprised me very positively is the citrus press. I didn't expect it to be so handy and function so well. A glass of fresh orange juice is really squeezed like that, rinse all parts immediately under hot water and you're done. I don't put the parts in the dishwasher, I just don't do that with my good kitchen stuff. In short, I am really very happy with my cooking buddy! Don't want to miss him anymore :-)

The device is not powerful enough to really chop heavier foods like dates. Making hummus was fine.

- despite the limited power, the device is still suitable for grinding nuts into flour or butter (tested with cashew nuts) - parts are easy to disassemble and therefore relatively easy to clean - device is silent - operation is very easy - looks nice/modern: device is heavy but I leave it on the counter. It doesn't take up much space. - I still can't cut vegetables nicely: if carrots, for example, sag crookedly during cutting, you have a mix of large and small pieces and that is not the intention. Hopefully this will get better when I practice a bit more.
