MAGIMIX 18109 MICRO Chrome Brillant Hachoir

It chops ok, but not evenly, leaving some chunks intact. Blades still sharp after few months of constant usage. I like the pulse function, but not sure it is really useful. It is a decent compromise if you don't have a big budget to spend

I am amending my original review from a 5 to a 2* as every time I use it I am becoming more disillusioned with this gadget. Today for instance I tried to grind coriander, cumin, fennel seed and cinnamon to make a curry base and the micro hardly damaged...

I had one of those mini chopper things from Kenwood. It was very annoying - stuff kept getting stuck under the blade. I ended up chucking it in the bin. This little puppy however is totally different. It's well worth the extra money. Does everything...

I bought this mainly to shred chicken for my elderly cat. It does this very well. Also does a good job mashing potato, although given the small jug size, this is probably only useful when you're cooking for one.

I bought the mini chopper as i just needed a small food processor to chop or process food when cooking. This is perfect for that, it saves me alot of time faffing about with onions, garlic, ginger, chilli, etc... and is also great for making curry...

This gadget is just what I wanted. It chops small quantities of onions, peppers, herbs without any trouble. Strong blade, easy to clean, it sits on the worktop asking to be used. I bought this after buying other useless mini chopping machines and I am...

makes LOUD high pitched whine when working both rotors cannot be stored inside bowl on 3rd use the metal blade was put into the bowl (not on spindle) , it jammed into the walll of the bowl and could not be removed until the bowl broke.....

Ideal if you only need a machine occasionally and are not catering for large numbers.Great for sauces,dips etc.Looks good,performs well and at a great price.

I bought this to chop up vegetables for my parrot, but I've also used it to make mayonnaise (my first attempt), Caesar salad dressing, taramosalata, curry gravies....well lots of stuff. It is just brilliant at chopping and brilliant at making dressings...
