Has anyone seen any good deals on a Magimix Food processor?

[Blu]

Mine has expired after 25 years, and I need to replace it pronto - but they are not cheap, are they?

Bump!

I have buns to make.....

I just have to go with the general £150 price then?

i've never seen them for less, but you do sometimes get extra bits. did lakeland have an offer recently?

having said that

Crikey!

Over Christmas, my mum gave me an advert for a special offer Magimix - £99!!!! Like a fool I didn't keep it as I wasn't facing up to the fact that mine is making 'slipping fan belt' noises - and actually started to smell of burning last time I used it.

I am a fool.

A fool.

you are a FOOL.

you dope.

Will keep an eye out.

Don't throw your old lid away - mine's broken, and they've changed the design (for a stronger one ) so I'd have to pay for new bowl too. Am on the scrounge for an unwanted lid...

£99!!!!

But maybe it was a small underpowered end-of-line embarrassment to the mighty Magimix company??

No...it was the Real Thing.

Oh well. A boyfriend bought me my old one as a present when I was a student (bizarre) so I haven't done too badly.

But £99......

hah! me too! i'd like to remind blu that i was here when she needed me... links and all sorts.

me too on the broken lid, i mean. how much does it cost to replace the bowl, RA?

I'm not going to put up much of a fight for it...

Redadmiral - you are v welcome to any parts of mine...but it is truly ancient.

It is a 2800 Grande Cuisine.

The bowl and lid are intact.

Yes, Aitch was my lifeline...but unless it fits, it's no use to anyone, is it?

I have to go into work...don't fight while I'm away!

(wonders if the new 3200 series is bigger or smaller than my old one?)

X-posts...

Sort of lost the will to live when I ploughed through the magimix site to that piece of information, and thought I'd throw the problem back at the lovely John Lewis where I bought it from not so many years ago...

Also was going to try superglue....

Thank you Blu. I think mine was the 4something kind, one down from the biggest one they had at the time.

I think yours might not fit.

Will try to glue the flappy bit of plastic back on before it falls off completely, but I'm not convinced.

mine was from JL too, they are normally Very Good about that sort of thing (while charging you through the nose).
it's just the lid that's cracked on mine, RA, so if you think Blu's will fit then go for it as mine is still useable.
i think they have recently brought out a spiffy new one that takes up less counter space, blu.

No, aitch - you first, I insist

well, i think mine was the largest one they had five years ago so they're not the same size in any case. i bet Blu's lost the will to live by now anyway...

Blu I have one which works fine but is about 30 years old, sitting in my wardrobe (don't ask ) FFP if you want it?

Got to go now but will check in later to see if you're interested.

30 years old? Goodness!

yes - very interested, if it still works!

ooooh - all excited now!

But Wisteria....why is it in your wardrobe?

it's fine, but only has the cutting bade now - although I never used any of the the other parts anyway.
