Magimix Blender Review
Magimix is a well-established brand that has been making professional food processors and kitchen robots since the 60s. The company stands behind the invention of the very first food processor. Made with the touch of French design and precision, it is no wonder why it is still a popular brand.
The Magimix Blender is a reliable kitchen helper that can replace a few kitchen appliances, especially when used creatively and skillfully. Its simple design and operation make it suitable for most households and levels of cooks. People with more interest in nutrition than cooking will find its ease of use very convenient. More advanced cooks needing an assistant in their kitchen will appreciate the wide range of tasks this machine can handle.
Magimix blender will help you with milkshakes, smoothies, protein shakes, cocktails and slushies. The powerful motor will crush ice cubes into fine powder. It can blend hot soup into a nice smooth puree. Save your time mixing pancake batter in the mornings, which is useful, especially when making breakfast for the whole family. My favourite part? This blender is one of the easiest to clean.

Magimix Blender Review: Features And Benefits
Powerful And Relatively Quiet
Fresh fruit or root vegetables will be liquidized in seconds. A precisely engineered motor will crush ice, frozen or dried fruit and even nuts. However, the manufacturer recommends using the mill attachment for crushing nuts and spices. To preserve the longevity of the blades. Proceed at your own risk.
Awarded with the Quiet Mark Accreditation. It is quieter compared to other blenders in the same category. Don’t expect that you can make a quick midnight pina colada without waking up the neighbours. If you insist on doing so anyway, at least share a glass with them.
Hot & Cold Use
In this Magimix Blender review, I want to highlight the durable, borosilicate glass jug that it comes with. It is designed to hold cold and hot ingredients. What I like about using a glass jug is that it won’t leave any scratches or leftover odours, compared to plastic jugs. Its only disadvantage is more weight. This blender will blend hot soups into smooth puree or make refreshing ice-cold slushies.
Manual And Pre-programmed Settings
Add your 5-a-days into the jug, top it with coconut water and let the Smoothie mode do the rest of the job. Each mode will change the speed accordingly and switch itself off when finished. Magimix blender offers 4 pre-programmed settings. Crushed ice, drinks, soups, and frozen desserts.
4 manual speeds will give you more control over your creations. However, remember not to let it run longer than 60 seconds at a time. Always start at the lowest speed and gradually shift to higher gears.
What is the Magimix PULSE function for? It simply runs the blades at maximum speed and automatically switches itself off when you release the button. It gives you the ultimate control over the texture of your dish. Emulsify ingredients or pulverize unpeeled tomatoes into atoms.
Cleaning
Cleaning is the best part of this kitchen helper. It saves a lot of time, especially on the busy mornings. After you are finished with blending, pour warm water inside the jug, and optionally add some dish soap. Turn on the AUTO CLEAN mode. Rinse in clean water, and you are done. Ready to blend more. To clean it more thoroughly, the whole jug can be easily taken apart and washed, even in a dishwasher. Assembling the parts back together is quick and simple.
Easy To Use
Operation is very simple and straightforward. The buttons and mode-selecting wheel are sturdy and easy to clean. I find this very useful compared to the blender I had before. That one had a touchscreen, which was clumsy to use with wet hands. To wipe the screen, I had to unplug it first so it wouldn’t turn some features on. Not very practical for clean-as-you-go habits.
The 8 mods, 4 pre-programmed and 4 manual, are enough to complete most jobs. The bigger selection will bring headaches studying and remembering which was for what.
A plastic lid with rubber sealing holds the contents well. A hole at the top is useful when adding ingredients while blending. Or leave it closed with a cap that can also be used as a measuring cup. Use it to fold some chocolate chips into the cake batter. Or pour additional juice if your smoothie is getting too thick. It comes equipped with a spatula to scrape all of the blended goodness from the jug’s sides or stir the ingredients inside.
Additional Attachments
Magimix offers additional attachments for the blender. A smoothie cup of two sizes equipped with a lid. Take your homemade smoothie with you while commuting to work or the gym. Simply replace the glass jug with the smoothie cup. Blend, cap with a lid and go. Leave the cleaning for later.
I find the second addon even more useful. The Mill attachment is designed to grind spices and other hard ingredients. Instantly make a crumble with some biscuits. Turn caster sugar into icing sugar in seconds. You can even crush coffee beans. However, if you have a coffee grinder, please do them justice and use the grinder.
Best Used For?
As I am excited about this kitchen helper, I want to share a few tips with you in my Magimix blender review. These are just a few suggestions for getting the most out of a heat-resistant blender like this one.
Smoothie Bowls, Protein Shakes, Cocktails And Other Drinks
I use it to blend my favourite cold drinks or nutrition-packed shakes. I’ll cut some fresh fruit for a thick smoothie bowl and freeze it first. It will save most of its nutrition. In a way, it can replace a cold-press juicer. I know it is different from juice, but nutrition will be preserved. I then blend frozen fruit with coconut water or plant milk. Using fresh fruit with ice will reduce the flavour. I like adding cocoa and protein powder. The result will be a bowl of thick goodness. I usually top it up with fresh fruits, seeds and nuts. It makes a nice, light, but nutritious breakfast.
Hot Soups And Purees, Sauces
As I mentioned earlier, the heat-resistant jug is a powerful feature. I can cook my favourite soup and turn it into a smooth pure without an immersion blender. Just top it with some croutons, and it’s good to go. A small kitchen makes me thankful when I don’t have to keep many tools in it. I find it especially useful when making traditional caramel sauce, which requires much attention. If the sugar starts crystalizing when stirring in a pot, use this heat-resistant blender. If you have a passion for making desserts, give it a try. You’ll get a smooth caramel sauce every time.
Batters For Cakes, Pancakes Or Protein Waffles And Desserts
On Sunday mornings, I like to make pancakes. However, making the batter and cleaning the whole mess later breaks the idyllic idea. With the Magimix blender, I’ll just put the ingredients in the jug and let it blend on a low speed. When mixed well, I’ll pour it directly into the pan. One pancake at a time. The opening in the lid makes it easier to add flour or other dry ingredients gradually into the batter. Very convenient for making cakes, I can fold in chocolate chips or pieces of nuts towards the end of blending so they won’t get chopped.
Plant-Based Milk
I’m a big fan of plant-based milk alternatives. Cashew nut milk is my favourite. However, it can be pricey. I also want to have control of the sugar content in my drinks. With a blender such as Magimix, I can make any plant milk for which I can get ingredients. Sugar-free, sweetened with honey or dried dates. There are a lot of options.
Reasons To Buy
Magimix blender will bring a lot of value to every household. Those who live a busy lifestyle, focused on other activities more than cooking, will appreciate the convenience of making various dishes using one machine. It is especially useful if nutrition is your priority. I try minimizing dairy in my diet. Homemade plant-based milk saves me a lot of money.
Home cooks and aspiring chefs interested in advancing their cooking skills will also find this blender very useful in their kitchens. It will help you make smooth puree or sauces of all kinds. Personally, I don’t make desserts that often. I do not need to pay for an expensive, bulky stand mixer. With this blender, I can make some simple batters very easily.
