Magimix 3200 Unboxing, Review & Demonstration

Unboxing and Reviewing my Magimix 3200 Compact food processor, see all the good features and the not so good. In this video I demonstrate just how quickly the Magimix slices a carrot, chops an onion, and makes homemade Mayonnaise, using a recipe from the book that is supplied with the machine.
This is my own unbiased opinion of a well made piece of kitchen equipment that saves time and effort.

I just found this model MagiMix with all the accessories on someone's hard rubbish collection all wrapped up nicely with a note saying it's in perfect working order. I knew it was something special when I felt the weight of the thing. I was about to buy a new cheap food processor as there's no way I could afford something of this quality. I'm so stoked! Thanks for the great vid!

[@WillyFilmit]

What a find.

[@Songbirdstress]

@@WillyFilmit Thank you for the vid, I think you sold it to me. :) Can it grind coffee?

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi there, I've never tried to grind coffee with my Magimix as I have a machine that grinds the coffee beans and then brews an espresso. The Magimix would NOT produce a fine enough grind for espresso, however it may produce a course grind for brewing in a french press, or other filter methods. I hope this answers your question, thanks for your comment.

[@waltsous8664]

I have had this robot for 3 years and frankly it is TOP the quality is exceptional, exceptional product 100% made in France with a 30 year motor warranty.

just found your channel on KZbin , I brought my 3 bowl magi mix about two yrs ago and haven't used it much because didn't want to break it , but finding your KZbin has given me confidence and ive now whisked cream instead of buy hand and ive made lemon mayonnaise and chopped veg and I'm going to attempt to do buns :-)

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi Sarah, glad you found my video useful and are now making use of your Magimix, yesterday I made soup with my 3200, and today I'm making a sauce to go with some burgers which will be featured on my other channel, The Barbecue Walk of Flame.

[@frankdsouza2425]

Willy, I doff my hat to you. For not only the clarity of your presentation, which ensures that Dopes like me can understand. But also that you have made the time to RESPOND in writing to the Fans whom you have deservedly acquired. The manufacturer should pay you. Who could possibly object? Because, it is obvious that your integrity is not for sale.

[@WillyFilmit]

Well Frank, I have to say I'm well and truly flattered by your comment. I do really enjoy film making, (that's what it was called when I got my first cine camera) now thanks to video and KZbin I have an audience. When it comes to a product review, I tell it as it is, my experience. If a viewer takes the time and trouble to make a comment, then they deserve a reply. Once again many thanks for taking the time to make your comment, I really do appreciate it.

[@julieparker9410]

Thank you, Willy, for a super informative review! Especially for the demo of the noise level and the kind of motor in this machine. I have a couple of questions, is it possible to make a smoothie from a carrot and celery? Can it substitute a blender to make smoothies from vegetables, such as carrots and celery, for example?

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi Julie, thank you for your comment, to be honest I've never made a smoothie, they're just not my thing. I do use the Magimix to make soup, however the veg are usually cooked and once blended there is some texture, it would have to go through a fine sieve to get it really smooth, same with iced coffee which I make in the summer, it turns the ice cubes into a thick mush and the drink is just the same as a high street coffee shop. Once again thanks for watching my video.

[@Janetvcooper]

Many thanks. Look forward to more videos

[@AggonyDuck]

Thank you! This was useful. :)

[@SurreyAlan]

For two of us I always think the chopping and dicing is pointless as I can whip a knife out quicker than getting one of these out and subsequent washing up but great for other things

[@WillyFilmit]

Indeed a valid point, however the machine comes into it's own when slicing potatoes into 2mm thick slices, for Pommes Dauphinois, or Homemade Potato Crisps, my knife skills just ain't up to that. It is really the versatility of tasks it performs that make a food processor worthwhile, over the past few weeks, I've used it for making Bread, Cakes, Soup, Potato Crisps, Mayonnaise, and Barbecue Sauce, but when it comes to slicing just a couple of carrots I'd probably go for a Knife.

[@SurreyAlan]

@@WillyFilmit No doubt I'll end up buying one for all the other things they excel at and I do get fed up of mixing short pastry by hand. Just deciding whether this one or the small Mini Plus as I only cook for two.

[@elisa_kalen9069]

[@daleharley1176]

Thanks for your comprehensive video. Does your magimix make granita. ?Unfortunately I terminally damaged my 40 year old magi mix when trying to grind frozen fruit ☹️

[@WillyFilmit]

I have yet to make granita, however I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, one of the recipes in the book that came with the machine, coffee milk shake, calls for 5 ice cubes to be blended. Many smoothies are better made with frozen fruit, initially pulsed to break it down before going on to blend.

3y later how are you happy with the magimix? I am planing to buy one. Love the review

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi there, thank you for your comment it's much appreciated. I'm still pleased with my Magimix it continues to perform well. If it could live on the worktop it would be used much more, however our kitchen is quite small and it has to be stored in a cupboard, there are times when it is quicker to get a knife from the drawer than it is to get the Magimix out and set it up just to slice two carrots, which it would do in seconds. It is a versatile, well made machine, which I do not regret purchasing, I hope this answers your question, thanks for watching my video.

[@SatansBaby1]

@@WillyFilmit Yes, thank you so much.

[@amanteamante8357]

Thank you Willy for the review. When you first received the machine, was there any scratches on the bottom of the big bowl. Because my big bowl has scratches and the seller says it's normal. The scratches are from the midi bowl sitting on the big bowl.

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi there, thank you for your comment, I don't recall there being any scratches on the bowls when new, and certainly nothing to complain about. After more than 12 months of frequent use the main bowl is now well scratched, mainly from blending iced drinks.

Hi Esin, many thanks for your comment it is much appreciated, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@SurreyAlan]

The old 3200 XL has just been given a new model number and called the compact 3200 XL, as you say the difference seems to be two more disks, a wider chute and a wider choice of colours for around another £40. I'm still wondering if this would be too big as like you I have a proper stand mixer which is great for larger quantities and I want something that will do small quantities say 2 egg whites for a meringue, the mini plus probably fits that bill but would it be too small. Hopefully shops open soon so I can see in the flesh.

[@WillyFilmit]

Many thanks for your comment, so whats in a name, my Magimix does not have the XL lid which to me is not a problem, it came with two discs I purchased a third which fills the accessory box. As for the colour any colour providing its white is ok with me. This week I've used it for making a small loaf of bread, potato rosti, and two batches of soup.

[@janeray2548]

Thanks for your video which is most helpful. I have just bought a Magimix 3200XL and have two queries about it. Firstly the lid on the does not click into position easily like it appears to do on your processor and I am concerned it is faulty. I would like to be able to chop veg in the processor so can I buy an extra blade to do this?

[@WillyFilmit]

I believe the lid can be a little stiff some times, on my machine its not, just a positive click. Chopping veg can be done in the small bowl which has its own blade, or in the main bowl using the main blade, depending on quantity. Always use the pulse button, half or quarter the veg depending on size, keep your eye on it as it is easy to chop too finely. I think there is an accessory available to dice veg.

Hi Kala P, glad you liked my review, I have not chopped dried fruit yet with my Magimix, I would think it is capable, but have no personal experience.

[@DL-ir2wb]

I think you put the slicing blade upside down based on the online manual says it should be upside down.

[@WillyFilmit]

Thank you for your comment, look closely at the video you may notice the two discs supplied are dual slicing and grating discs, a 2mm disc and a 4mm disc, put it in to slice, or turn it upside down to grate. I'm guessing the instructions you have read are for a different model or machine.

[@lisbethsolheim7271]

Thanks for a great review! To make eg falafel (chopping chick peas), how much can the 3200 do in one go?

[@WillyFilmit]

Hi Lisbeth, many thanks for your comment, I haven't processed chick peas or anything similar. Magimix recommends in the main bowl one third full for liquid, and two thirds for other foods, which is about four portions. I have on one occasion over filled with liquid by mistake, it makes one hell of a mess. Maximum processing capacities in the instruction book are, soup one litre, minced meat 0.75 kg, carrots 0.8 kg. I do hope this information is of use to you, and once again thanks for watching my videos.

Hi Rossella, thank you for your comment, the difference between 3200, and the 5200, is size the 5200 has larger bowls, more powerful motor, and is more expensive, and suited to a larger family. For example the 3200 will process 0.6kg of bread dough, the 5200 will process 1.2kg.The 3200 should be adequate for you, if you do a lot of slicing and grating go for the XL model it has a larger feed tube.
