Magimix Le Micro Mini Chopper | Ultra Compact | Multifunctional | Satin | 18115, Silver

I bought this item from Amazon’s third seller party. It came to me with an European prong. It would be dangerous to use in Canada. I requested a refund but they refused to send me a paid return label. I have to pay to return this item

I have always wanted a kitchen gadget to chop food up quickly and efficiently but have baulked at the price of some of the market leading products from the likes of Kenwood, Bosch and KitchenAid. When you think about it, there is not much to these products other than a variable speed motor, a controller, a sharp cutting thing and a bowl which makes the prices that are demanded by some manufacturers to be eye watering. Some people always insist on the best and I suspect there is some psychology going on here with inflated aspirational pricing structures and celebrity chef endorsements to make these food choppers appeal to those who are long on cash and low on confidence in their kitchen abilities wanting to compensate. Other manufacturers have entered this market including electrical giants such as Phillips, Smeg, Panasonic and Breville (let's face it who has a sandwich toaster these days?) and there have been some Chinese entrants too including Royalstar, Joyang and Xiaomi and it is now more confusing than it has ever been to select the right product. My solution to this conundrum was to see what the French do. Let's face it, when it comes to food, they are the best and there is no such thing as a celebrity chef in France as everyone can cook. And Magimix is a French owned and French made brand that is apparently the market leader in France. That is all the encouragement I needed to hit the "buy" button. This Magimix 18112 Le Micro Food Chopper is compact (polite way of saying small) but does the job well and quickly. And what is the point of having a large chopper that will take an age to clean and will not fit in your dishwasher. If you want to chop more food then the solution is to do another batch. It really does not take long and this compact (small) chopper does not take up too much space in the cupboard, and I would not want to have my kitchen cluttered with gadgets on the work surfaces so this is ideal. And at this laughably low price compared to the large machines this is an absolute bargain too. Great product, great price and no I have not been paid to say this and it was not a free product. Five stars.

Merci vraiment pratique , gain De place

Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi ce hachoir Magimix, pourtant "made in France", a été importé d’Angleterre par Amazon et m'est parvenu avec une prise anglaise inutilisable en France sans adaptateur. Je l'ai donc retourné mais ça me hérisse de penser à tous ces allers et retours inutiles, passages de douane, etc.

I decided to learn to cook, having reached the decision that I was eating far to many Take Aways. So I bought a few Cookbooks and some high end appliances to make the process of Cooking easier. This was one, and features - Metal Die Cast body - Powerful quiet 290 watt motor - Sturdy robust feel - Ultra sharp metal Sabatier blades - Plastic blade - Spatula - Comprehensive Recipe book- 3year warranty - Easy to clean - Small footprint The Le Micro gets daily use from chopping vegetables, making Sauces, Dips, to creating Masalas with perfect results every time. Having bought a number of Cuisinart products, the Cuisinart CH4 BCU was another option for me but having seen it at Lakeland its Plastic lightweight feel was not for me. I bought a used Le Micro from Amazon Warehouse which turned up complete, in like new condition, for the same price as the Cuisinart which was a "No Brainer" for me. If you do decide to buy a Magimix Le Micro you will not be disappointed if your needs are to chop and blend time after time, in small quantities with the minimum fuss. As a footnote I am not in anyway affiliated to Magimix, just a guy who now enjoys the joy of home cooked meals and puds.
