Food Processor
Discussion
Wasn't sure if to put this in the Food section or Home, i'm sure it will get movd if it's wrong. Now I know there have been food processor threads in the past, but from memory but times and viewpoints change.
I've always wanted a Magimix, but have been quite taken by a kitchen aid one.
What are people's opinions and is there any others I should be considering.

I didn't bother with a stand alone processor, I have a Kenwood Chef and the high speed slicer attachment. I use the Chef for baking and bread making and it saves having yet another gadget around.
If I'd had more money I would have bought a Kitchen Aid mixer and the food processor/slicer attachment for that but it was all a bit more expensive.
I still covet a Kitchen Aid set up though....

Thanks Piglet, yes the brochure I have, has a Kitchen Aid mixer in it and it looks superb.If I'd had more money I would have bought a Kitchen Aid mixer and the food processor/slicer attachment for that but it was all a bit more expensive.

Ohh that copper one is a thing of beauty!
The Kitchen aid set up is good, two bowls is a bonus as it saves constantly washing, moving things from one bowl to another.
I've also just used the mincer on my Kenwood and that is great as well, I'd highly recommend one, it's a good way to use up cooked meat (although I'm mincing an odd raw chicken breast out off the freezer into burgers)
It was the mincer that tipped us into a new Kenwood and attachments rather than the old hand mixer that I had been using. The plastic mincers are carp in my view and the old metal ones had to be clamped on to a work surface and none of our work tops had sufficient overhang.
I was very close to buying the Kitchen aid set up but just couldn't justify the additional cost over the Kenwood.
LOL...your £100 food processor purchase has just got bigger hasn't it

I had a Kenwood FP 96<something> and it was pretty good. It came with all the toys but, as the reviews on Amazon belatedly warned me, the plastic/acrylic bits aren't that tough. Cheap enough to replace, I suppose.
I have replaced it (and a juicer) with a Magimix 4200, which seems much more solid. Quieter, too.
