Hi,
I had a Moulinex for about 15 years but I dropped the jug and a new one would have cost over £50 from the states! It had been brilliant, with a processor and liquidiser attachment too, 2 different graters, 2 different slices and a chipper ( which mangled so did not get used).
When it needed replacing I looked around, but they all seemed so flimsy and with a small jug in comparison, most felt that they would not take much use.
I bit the bullet and went for a Magimix - Expensive, but very robust. I would not do without it, it is very easy to use. I have the 4200 which has 3 sizes bowls so great for small amounts as well as pureeing soups. They all work by fitting into one another, but forward planning or a quick rinse sorts out any problem of wanting to use 2 sizes. I have 1 slicer, 1 grater, 2 cutting blades, a whisk, a dough blade and a citrus juicer all stored in a handy case. Everything works really really well, my only critisism would be that a small lump gets left behind when grating or slicing, but that used to happen with my old one.
It is heavy though, so you may want it to stay on the side, but I put mine away each time.
I have used every attachment that came with it, although I do prefer using a hand whisk to the whisk attachment and I use it regularly.
I was only saying to my OH before I sat down to computer ( currently making Marmalade and have used it for everything!) how much I LOVE my Magimix, then I saw this.
Expensive but I think well worth the money.
Amazon was much cheaper than anywhere else ( including France!) I went for the cream as it was cheaper and goes away anyway.
Extra attachments can be bought seperately.
Sorry to sound like an advert
