You get what you pay for
If ever the old adage of "you get what you pay for" applied to a piece of kitchen quipment then this is it. I was very tempted to purchase another Magimix like the one we'd had for years before we separated. I use liquidisers and food processors fairly infrequently, but for a few tasks I use nothing else. As this was about a third of the cost of the Magimix equivalent I gave it a try. The first thhing I noticed having been spoiled with the aforementioned Magimix is the build quality. Given my limited use however, this could last for years and having the larger capacity Magimix just takes up more space with all the add ons that neatly fit into this baby. The 1Kw motor has a very limited time it can be left on to adhere to the manufacturers recommendations for use, but it does have an auto overheat cut out safety device, so the warning are possibly set a little over zealously. Fitting the lid over the mixing bowl felt a bit Krypton factor the first few times. Not user-friendly, although now I'm a bit more intimately familiar with its workings, the reassembly after use seems to be much easier now. Summary - Good bits - designed in Manchester, small storage footprint, neat stowage of attachments, price. Bad bits - build quality, made in China - fiddly to assemble.
