Magimix By Robot-Coupe Food Processor Review & Giveaway!

by 323 Comments

Boy do I have a treat for you today!  I recently received the fabulous top of the line Magimix by Robot-Coupe food processor for review.  Needless to say, I could not wait to test this gem out!  But do you know what’s even better than that??  The lovely people at  Magimix generously offered to send one Buttercream Blondie reader their very own food processor!!  I told ya this was going to be a good one!


Okay so I definitely want to start off by telling you a little bit about this brand.  Magimix by Robot-Coupe invented the first food processor over 40 years ago, and all processors are fully manufactured in Burgundy, France.  Now in the restaurant industry the only food processor I have ever used is a robot-coupe.  They are the top of the line, commercial grade food processors.  It is the only thing to use and they last forever.  So Magimix by Robot-Coupe gives you the technology of its commercial models in this sleek looking processor for the home, and is sold exclusively at Williams-Sonoma. Commercial grade + pretty on the counter = big win in my book!

This machine comes in 12, 14, and 16 cup models.  I received the 16 cup, and that is definitely the one I would recommend.  The first thing I noticed was that it comes with a trio of bowls.  They all nest inside of each other so they don’t require additional space and having options is so useful. Sometimes I just need to chop a small amount of something so the small bowl is probably one of the biggest highlights for me.  Plus that 16 cup bowl is awesome when I have to make a big batch of crisp topping or pie dough.

Here you can see how great the little bowl is great for small quantities.

The second thing I love is that all the attachments come in their own case.  That’s right, gone are the days where you’ll have to rummage through a drawer to find a certain blade.  I’m sure you can imagine how many gadgets I have floating around my kitchen, so when a company gives me a storage solution that is neat and doesn’t take up much space, it truly brings me joy. It’s the little things!

As far as performance goes, basically this machine is the mama of all food processors.  Even though it has a commercial grade motor, and is extremely powerful, it is super quiet.  I have been using it non-stop since I got it, and I love it!  Remember when I made these over the top brownies last week?? Well it didn’t just kinda crush those M&Ms, it pulverized them!  I also used it to puree my strawberry rhubarb compote when I made these Strawberry Rhubarbaritas which, by the way, will definitely be happening again for Mother’s Day brunch!  While we’re on the subject of Mother’s Day, I definitely want to mention that this would make a fabulous gift for the mom who loves to cook!

Aside from all that good stuff, there is also a juice extractor & smoothie attachment.  This attachment is sold separately, but when I noted how beyond fantastic I thought it was, they said hey we’ll throw that in too!  Yup, you’re getting that too!  I drink a lot of smoothies and make lots of sorbet so this attachment is incredibly useful!

Perfect for smoothies & sorbet!

Well there you have it!  This processor definitely gets my stamp of approval and will always have a spot on my counter.  This would make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift for the mom who loves to cook, and like I said is sold exclusively at Williams-Sonoma.

  31. I’ve always wanted to make a pie crust in a food processor. Simple I know but I’ve never owned a food processor. Hope I win!

  34. This is absolutely a treat, Meghan. Great giveaway, I desperately need a new (big) food processor! I would make a big batch of hummus, I have been eating so much of it lately but can’t make it at home because I am limited by my little prep food processor!

    Reply

  59. Wow wow wow. I would LOVE to win this! What an awesome giveaway! I think I’d test this food processor out by making a hummus first 🙂

  63. With this piece of equipment? Well, the 1st thing I would do is a strawberry smoothie, with the organic strawberries I have in my garden.

  64. If I win that Magimix I am going to make a batch of my world famous vichy soisse and get you to post the recipe…

    Reply

  75. I’ve just started following you on Pinterest and receiving your emails. I think I would probably puree some of the absolutely beautiful berries that are available right now and use them as a filling for cupcakes. Ok, I’m drooling now. Sigh, if only I were able to make that puree right now.

    Reply

  91. Mmmm I would love to make a batch of Honey Almond Butter and then a batch of hummus if I won the food processor!

    Reply

  94. So hard to choose the first thing because I would want to make everything if I was the lucky winner I would be SO excited. I think I would make berry sorbet:) so many berries so little time, the processor would zap them up in an instant. Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful gift:)

  110. This food processor looks and sounds AMAZING! Oddly enough, I’ve been in the market for a new food processor for quite some time now, and this may just be “the one”! The first thing I’d use it for would be to make my favorite hummus recipe — roasted garlic white bean hummus. YUM!

    Reply

  114. Wow, thank you so much for having this giveaway! I’ve developed a passion for baking and cooking recently and I’ve been wanting to try making purees on a larger scale. That’s what I would do if I had this processor.

  119. I have a bunch of saved granola bar/protein bar recipes I can’t make without a food processor, so those would be first.

    I also want to explore the world of marinades, and lots of them have ingredients that need to go through a food processor.

  127. I would definitely make a detox fruit smoothie! Its already so hot in AZ, smoothies would save the day!!!

    Reply

  128. Smoothies or some of the cookie recipes I’ve been dying to make if I ever got a food processor. I would LOVE to have this. Love your blog.

    Reply

  140. Omg, how I would love to have this food processor! My family really loves salsa so I think that would be what I would make first. After that I would have to try some delicious smoothies!

  158. Sorry didn’t mean to submit yet didn’t proof read was just getting into the moment here is a revised version of my comment hope it makes sense. Where do I begin, I recently got diagnosed with celiac disease and my two lil girls although their test results showed a negative result, I still firmly believe they have gluten intolerance or due to inconsistency in testing have Celiac Disease. They also both have extreme sensitives to dyes. Wait it gets better, my baby girl is allergic to all type of tree nuts, milk, and peanuts. We have been going chemical free making our own cleaning products. We have to go preservative free as well b/c some preservative(s) is causing myself as well as my kiddies to react. So when I say we are making drastic life and diet changes in the last few months we really are!! My husband has been so supportive and has really been so open minded about our new diet and way of life, he is pretty much gluten free as well. Having a food processor/juicer in the house would make things so much easier on all of us, making bread, processing coconut for coconut milk, juicing apple juice for the girls, or homemade orange juice would just be so much easier then doing it the old fashion way. I honestly don’t know where I would begin because I would be truly thankful for such a gift that I know at the moment is out of my reach financially!! Anyway didn’t mean to go all into my life, I just want to share. Hope whoever gets it puts it to good use because I know I WOULD!! :^)

  159. I would definitely try out the smoothie attachment first! A strawberry banana smoothie would be the first concoction…perfect for summer!

  171. I would make latkes! I could eat them all year round, but usually end up hand-grating for Hanukkah because my food processor is too small to handle even a normal sized batch. Love your site and following you on Pinterest!

    Reply

  172. I would have fun tinkering with different smoothies so I could get my family to eat more fruits and veggies!

    Reply

  199. Hhmmm, I would make some summer salsa, smooth guac, fresh smoothies. Wait, was I supposed to only say one? I would LOVE a food processor, I am not a proud owner of one. Yet! (hopefully). ;o)

  204. If I win that fabulous mixer I plan to make a huge batch of my blueberry salad dressing and give some to all my friends who keep asking me for the recipe

    Reply

  219. This is am amazing food processor. It can do all the jobs. I make a lot of sauces. I would love to use this to make pesto that my son loves a lot. Also I can knead bread dough, and slice and grate veggies and so much more. I sure hope I can be lucky.
    Thank you for this chance to enter.

  244. I have been wanting one of these for MONTHS! I would make lots and lots of shredded salads, and cookies, and
    Avocado chocolate pudding…I think my husband will have a hard time getting me out of the kitchen.

    Reply

  245. I think just because it is that time of year and I am in the mood for cooler foods, I would make a gaspacho. Right now I have a super small blender and have to do soups in (MANY) batches. This would rock!

    Reply

  254. First thing I’d make is some fresh pico de gallo with lots and lots of cilantro added – I’ve been craving it since the first day we hit 80 degrees last week!

    Reply

  272. First thing would have to be peanut butter… homemade nut butter is so delicious. Second, hummus. I bet this would finally give me the smooth consistency of store-bought that I can never seem to match at home.

    Reply

  292. I would LOVE to start making my jams for the summer! Raspberry, strawberry, apricot, pineapple, mango!
    Oh the possibilities! 🙂
