I've had this processor for a year or more now and like it. When I bought it I was choosing between the standard and the XL, and went for the XL thinking it did everything the standard one did, and more. In actual fact I would prefer the standard one, as I only use this for baking, making pastry, making sauces etc and not for processing vegetables. The big funnel is only useful for processing big pieces of vegetables, but I use a knife and chopping board for that. The XL top adds another piece which then needs to be washed, and also creates more air space for flour etc to escape when making pastry. So consider whether you really want the big spout, or whether the standard one is really what you want. Other than that, a good machine.

This processor is a heavy and quality item. It comes with 3 mixing bowls, 3 double edged blades, (one of these is plastic and one is a small one to fit the smallest bowl) a geared egg whisk and a spatula. It also comes with 5 round discs,( 2mm slicing, 2mm grating, 4mm slicing, 4mm grating and a French fry/stir fry disc.)
The unit is supplied with a storage container that is oddly designed to hold just 4 of the round discs. (It is possible to get the fourth one in behind the double edged blades.) I have also two additional ones ariving as a promotion, so I do not know where these will go.
I use the large bowl mainly for baking and the medium one for fruit and vegetable slicing. The smallest bowl can be useful for making baby food etc.
The manual is available to download as are the recipes. This is useful to print your favourite recipes to stop you ruining the manual in the first week
I find the unit fantastic for making cake mixes and batter etc but not so good for vegetable slicing. I am always left with big chunks of carrot or cabbage that just get caught and spin round the top. Also I have not mastered the art of shredding cabbage, I am usually left with bits shorter than I want and my coleslaw looks too fine and mushy.
The unit is quite well interlocked to stop it operating without the cover on, but the one thing I don't like is the on/off switch is not fail safe. If you leave it on and stop it by turning it off at the wall socket (or open the cover) it will come on spinning the minute power is restored (or the cover reclosed)
It's a very good machine, but not as quiet or as easy to clean as Magimix would have you believe but all in all I am happy to give it 5 stars

Magimix quality
Returned to a magimix after using a cheaper food processor - the quality is great as ever. I find the three bowls a little fiddly, for me two would have been enough. Read more

I have had this machine for just over a year & I love it, I don't actually think i've got to grips with all the things you can do with yet, still things to learn. Read more

Used this for about a month now and really impressed. It's robust and reasonably compact when stored, and in use it does the job in a second. Read more

Magic Magimix
This is a great gadget. It is large and can cope with quantities but the small bowls are useful when less is needed. Read more

Magimix 4200xl Food Processor
Very heavy, but that means it doesnt move when its working, and there is a lot of washing up afterwards due to the design of the bowls. Read more

Pretty impressive
A good bit of kit, and luckily we bought when the xmas offer was on and the price was substantially lower.

Worth the extra money.
Great machine - use it all the time. Extra capacity over the 3200 worth the extra cost. Extra wide feed tube also useful if processing a lot of veg.
