Le Mini Plus Food Processor - Multifunctional Food Preparation, 1.7L BPA-Free Bowl, Professional Quality Ultra-Sharp Blades, Quiet Energy Efficient 400W Motor With 30 Year Guarantee - Black

Magimix oozes quality and produces such good results. It’s the smallest Magimix and fits perfectly in my little kitchen. So far, I’ve used it to chop nuts, make breadcrumbs, grate carrots and cabbage to make coleslaw. I made the mayonnaise from the recipe book which comes with the food processor. Chopping herbs is a doddle. I spent ages researching and deciding which make to buy and I am so glad I chose Magimix as apart from it’s efficiency, I think it will be long lasting.

This is a very good food processor that does very well what it's supposed to do. Very high quality and robust construction. Also very silent. The main limitation is size. Sometimes I have to use it two or three times in the same preparation and in the end mixing everything up. But It is relatively small and does not take up as much space as the next model. Easy to clean.

I love this Magimix Mini Plus. I find I use the big bowl the most & hardly ever use the small one but for 2 people it is plenty big enough. If you have a large family then you may need a larger capacity or use this & just empty it more often. The grey central spindle & top of the Stainless Steel blade mean they don't stain like Magimix's old White ones. It is so simple to use & quiet. Everything you would expect from the quality of Magimix. I have the Brushed Steel model that doesn't show finger marks. I wouldn't be without it. So easy to clean.

Great food processor with a lot of functionality so good value for money. Pricier than competitors but magimix’s blades, motor and overall build quality is a step above the rest. We’re a couple and it’s more than big enough, it handles larger quantity food prep and it is very easy to work in batches. The blendermix attachment is my favourite. I love making mango lassi with this - the blades and motor make easy work of ice

Update 3 years later, June 2022: all good, machine has functioned well. Only used infrequently but always does the job well. Pleased with the smaller size for only 2 people. Not big enough for a family or larger jobs of course, hence the "mini" in the name I guess! Pleased with the purchase. I cannot comment on the longevity of the product at this point but I trust it will be good with the long warranty periods and brand reputation. I am writing to comment that "satin steel" colour is actually just plastic as I presume the other ones are. As it is a more expensive choice I presumed it would be metal and am slightly disappointed. Not enough to return it as I think it looks OK but perhaps will save someone else the disappointment if they are deliberating. Secondly, the product I received had clearly been opened previously although I doubt it was used. The base of the machine had a lot of fingerprints and other marks on it, thankfully no damage I could find. Worryingly a sticker seems to have been removed from the bottom but I can't figure out what it would have been. The fingerprints cleaned off easily enough as I was not wanting to return it and just pass this issue on to someone else. The sticker is more of a worry and I will write to Amazon (and Magimix if necessary) to confirm the warranty status etc. Slightly disappointing experience overall, obviously would have to go and see the product in person at a physical store to find out about the case material, however Amazon should inspect returned items a little more thoroughly perhaps as it was also offputting that the machine had clearly been out and handled by someone.

Ideal for the small household.quiet, powerful motor for it's size.

I gave this “Magimix - Le Mini Plus” 5 months of continuous use before feeling compelled to write this review. I SO wanted to like it and thought the “mini” part would be perfect for my small lockdown household. The brand overpromised and under-delivered. The reviews seem not to reflect the reality of using this machine for everyday kitchen prep. I think the French company behind Magimix are having their cold revenge on us for Brexit. I always have to finish the job by either hand slicing or bringing out the NutriBullet- with twice the cleanup! 😫 Some examples: - It doesn’t have enough power to make breadcrumbs out of grissini or dry toast. I have to finish the job in a mortar and pestle! - If you attempt to slice or julienne carrots, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or other veg, be prepared for a great lump of veg to convulse around the top of the slicing wheel like a tennis shoe in a tumble dryer until you stop and remove it. - The mini cup for processing small quantities is a complete joke. Everything splatters out or oozes into the lower bowl, making for a ridiculous amount of cleanup for a small job. And cleanup is a pain on the Le Mini Plus due to its flimsy plastic and small crevices. - Chopping meat in the lower (big bowl) yields horribly irregular chunks interspersed with goo. Why Magimix? - I had a brilliant Dualit food processor before this and for the money, Magimix is taking the pix. Not impressed. Perhaps the more powerful Magimix models yield greater kitchen satisfaction, but I would only gift Le Mini Plus to someone I wanted to torment.

Even in the sale this would normally be above budget and had more attachments than required but it was bought purely on account of its quiet mark accreditation and in this respect it has fallen short for me personally. The sound quality may be different but it has no less impact on the ears afterwards to my ears than some other processors and a premium is clearly charged for this. My query to magimix resulted in them blaming the acoustics in my kitchen and the fact that the processor was cited adjacent to a wall (ie where the socket and counter top is) thereby amplifying the sound. I also found the manufacture quality poor. The only two things I like about it are the bowl size which seems smaller than the advertised 1.7 litres and the fact that I'm not clock watching on the motor usage as with most other processors, however it needs more time as the blades go round relatively slowly and hummus emulsification is average.
