Ever wondered who invented the food processor? Magimix! In 1963, Robot-Coupe, a well-known company making commercial-grade food processors, launched what you might call the first Magimix food processor. Half a century later, Magimix appliances feature in kitchens around the world and are top sellers at Chef’s Complements.
Whether it’s the BlenderMix, Cook Expert or one of their food processors, Magimix make your life in the kitchen so much easier. But what distinguishes the BlenderMix from similar products; what makes a Magimix food processor stand out? The answer is ‘quality’. Made in France, most Magimix appliances have their roots in professional products designed for commercial use—they are built to last longer.
Here at Chef’s Complements, we stock the full Magimix range for NZ home cooks: food processors, blenders, juicers, ice cream makers, as well as various attachments and accessories such as slicing and grating discs. Ask us about different models and colour choices!
The Magimix Range at Chef’s Complements
Magimix Food Processors
The Magimix food processor is the heart of the range, and for good reason.
Cooking regularly for a larger household or entertaining a crowd? The Magimix Cuisine Système 5200 XL is the pick. A 3-litre working capacity and 1,100-watt motor handles bread dough, pastry, and large-batch vegetable prep without complaint.
Shorter on bench space, or cooking for one or two people? The Magimix Compact 3200 XL delivers the same motor quality and triple bowl system in a noticeably smaller footprint.
Optional Accessories for Magimix Food Processors
The food processor is designed to grow with your cooking. A wide range of optional Magimix accessories lets you expand what your machine can do without needing additional appliances on your bench.

Magimix Blenders
The Magimix BlenderMix is one of the only blenders at this performance level to earn Quiet Mark accreditation, meaning it runs significantly quieter than comparable models. The borosilicate glass jug handles both hot and cold blending, and it pairs naturally with the food processor range for a complete Magimix kitchen setup.
More From Magimix
Magimix also makes juicers, ice cream makers, and the Cook Expert, their multifunctional cooking machine that handles hot cooking, steaming, and blending all in one bowl. If you’re comparing it to other cake mixers and kitchen machines, the Cook Expert sits in a category of its own, combining heating and processing functions that most standalone machines can’t touch.
Why Serious Home Cooks Choose Magimix
Ranging from the Cook Expert to ice cream machines, all products feature the latest technology and are supported by strong domestic-use guarantees and after-sales service.
30-year motor guarantee
Every Magimix food processor motor is guaranteed for 30 years. The industry standard in NZ is one to two years. That gap tells you everything about how these machines are engineered.
Made in France
All Magimix food processors are manufactured at their Burgundy factory, using motors derived directly from the Robot-Coupe commercial range, the same units found in professional kitchens worldwide.
Quiet Mark certified
The Magimix food processor range is the only one to hold Quiet Mark accreditation. A real difference for anyone prepping food in an open-plan kitchen or early in the morning.
Spare parts available for 10 years
Magimix guarantees spare part availability for a decade after any model is discontinued. These machines are designed to be repaired, not replaced.
FAQs
Which Magimix food processor is right for my household?
For most NZ households cooking for 3 to 5 people, the 4200 XL is the sweet spot in terms of capacity and value. The 5200 XL is worth the step up for larger batches, regular bread baking, or frequent entertaining. The 3200 XL suits smaller households or anyone who wants full Magimix quality in a compact size.
Does Magimix come with a New Zealand warranty?
Yes. Magimix products purchased through authorised stockists, such as Chef’s Complements, come with full warranty support, including the 30-year motor guarantee, backed locally.
What’s the difference between the BlenderMix and a standard blender?
The BlenderMix uses a borosilicate glass jug rated for hot and cold use and runs more quietly than most blenders at this price point. It’s designed to complement the food processor rather than replace it.
Does the Magimix food processor handle bread dough?
Yes. Every Magimix food processor comes with a dedicated dough blade designed for bread, brioche, and pastry. The induction motor handles heavy dough without overheating, which is one of the areas where the commercial-grade engineering really shows.
