Magimix CS 3200 XL Red

I have long researched between Magimix and the Kenwood models in the same price range. Since the Kenwoods can still fit a separate blender cup and contain a small grinder for spices, I still had to consider whether the lack of those extras with the Magimix was compensated by other features. Since I regularly want to make nut butters and therefore have to be able to run the motor continuously for a while, I opted for the magimix with a 30-year warranty on the motor. That gives confidence and was the deciding factor. I have used it every day since I received the machine for a variety of preparations and I really like it. Even softer tomatoes are still beautifully sliced with the slicing disc, for example, and the large feed tube is super handy to load in 1 go with a handful of large pieces of vegetables or fruit. Making smoothies with the blender mix attachment and the recipes from the supplied book also works perfectly. I have also made almond paste. 250 grams of unroasted almonds with skin were ready within 15-20 minutes in the large bowl, depending on how liquid you want the paste. Whether slicing vegetables is ultimately much faster with a food processor than with a knife and cutting board depends on how much cutting you have to do, because it does produce more dishes than a knife and cutting board and the dishes also take time. However, the machine cuts undeniably finer, thinner and more consistently than I could with a knife and mixes of ingredients are mixed much better. I wouldn't want to miss the machine anymore. Above all, the machine opens up a new world of applications and does what it promises without any problems.
