Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm thinking I need a food processor - I use my Magic Bullet mostly for mixing or icy drinks. I use Mums hand held Braun for mixing. But I don't have anything for large quantities, yesterday chopped for chutney in a piddly little thing - half an onion at a time - and it took ages. I was looking at this one http://www.johnlewis.com/Shopping/Product.aspx?Type=SKU&Id=230476307 I like the small size and I can't see the point of having a bigger footprint so both bits stand on together - I'm pretty sure I'd never be using both the chopper and the mixer simultaniously. Do you think it would be a good buy or do you have some other recommendations? I like to buy from John Lewis as I have £20 of vouchers for there so I will be forking out less of my hard earned cash.

Egluntyne Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I would recommend a Magimix. Mine is 10 years old and I use it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGirl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yep, I have my magimax I got 8 years ago and still fine for everything i need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 They look very nice but WAAAY out of my price range! JL only show one which is £349 on the search but you can then see others, cheapest I've seen on there is £179 . I'm definatley going to need to keep this under £50 at the moment - credit crunch and all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGirl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 jeez , sorry had no idea they were that much! Mine was a wedding mrk1 pressie, about the only thing i kept so glad I did now! I wonder when JL have their sale? might get something worthwhile in that if you can wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would recommend a Magimix. Mine is 10 years old and I use it all the time. Before I had my Magimix, I had a cheap alternative. It was a belt-driven model. The belt soon got worn and started slipping and then the brushes burnt out. I have now had my magimix for nearly 20 years and it is still going strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We're all leading you astray here because I have to back the others and say I have a Magimix too. I had a cheaper one before that and it didn't last very long and I hardly ever used it. I love my Magimix though. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I bought a Kenwood in the end - not the one I originally looked at but the next one up as it was only £10 more and did LOADS of extra things and even has a bigger motor, more settings etc. I saw the Magimixes but my budget really doesn't stretch that far so they weren't an option. I just need something to chop now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
