This is way off topic, so I suppose it should be in the Espresso or Beans section, but here you go:
Do any of you have experience with Magimix food processors? There seem to be maniacal enthusiasts and their opposites. I don't want to make bread dough, I want it for all around kitchen duty, chopping nuts, herbs, etc. Is there any model anyone can recommend? I cannot figure out exactly what the differences between the 5100, 5200, 4200, etc. are. Prices vary considerably.
I've read some really bad things about bearings going out, motors burning up, etc. The one time I used one I thought it was the cat's whiskers.
Thanks for any insights, and again, sorry for posting off-topic in the off-topic section.
