  I bought my first Magimix in the 1970's & loved it, so I was expecting great things from the 5100 I bought to replace it. I wish I hadn't bothered. The safety mechanism between the lid and bowl jams so tightly it renders the processor unusable most of the time. According to the handbook it is for my protection and will "give" with time. It doesn't! The only way I can use the processor is by brute force. The bowls do not dish wash well, despite the manufacturers claims, they cloud, crack and splinter. I am now on my third bowl and second lid; to replace the complete set costs around £100. Another thing that annoys me is that each time Magimix bring out a new model you have to replace any extra discs you bought (julienne cutter, etc.) as the 5100 discs do not fit 5200 as the bowl assembly is different.
  
  My advice? Forget it! If you want to bake bread/cakes, buy a good quality mixer (Kenwood Chef or Kitchenaid. If you want to slice & chop buy a good mandolin and a couple of good quality knives. If you want to make soup buy a blender but don't bother with the Magimix. It's a waste of time, space and money.

  The Magimix 5100 dough blade is not strong enough second one is on its way out.
  When blitzing soup it pours over the top. This machine is very badly designed and they should go back to the drawing board and not live on their rep!!! must be a nice little earner selling new dough blades

  The Magimix 5100 is not up to the job of making dough. It shakes about and may break the (expensive) blade.
  I score 0 for durability on that basis and poor value for money if you want to make bread

  I bought the Magimix 5100 for slicing, grating and making cakes I had problems understanding the thing until a friend said go to the Magimix Spares website and when I did suddenly the mist cleared and Hey Presto I can slice and grate and make cakes all day long.
