When the plastic locking tabs on my Ninja smoothie blender wore away I wanted to upgrade to a stronger and more durable quality blender. This is exactly what I looked for. I mainly make smoothies and soup, all’ve been silky smooth, far smoother than the Ninja output. I didn’t realise what I’d been settling for until I upgrade to this. Noise level is pretty good, for the Ninja I got “loud environment “ warnings from my watch and always wore my noise cancelling headphones (it was ridiculously loud), but while the Magimix Blender is still loud-ish, it’s not anywhere near this-hurts-my-head level of loud. Quality wise this has a lovely solid feel. The base unit is weighty and feels very stable in use. The glass jug feels wonderfully sturdy. Cleaning is super easy, the cleaning cycle does a really good job. I won’t be using it for nuts and thicker things like hummus, I have the food processor for that, so no experience with how it handles blending or cleaning thicker mixes. Functionally wise, I love the different programs, turn the dial to the function you need and press auto with super results. Clean cycle, ice, smoothie, soup, dessert all tested and all are excellent. Easy to use, easy to clean, excellent results, sturdy and well made, this feels like it will last for years even with near daily use. Love it.

Nice and relatively quiet, but it does make a strange grinding noise often, it has been like that since the first use. I am concerned that there is something wrong with this one, but it has kept working so far (one month). I appreciate that it should have spare parts available for repairs for 30 years

It isn't a VitaMix but it is the best functioning blender I have found so far in Ireland. I make a protein shake that I've been making for more than 20 yrs now, using a whole zuchinni/courgette. In the US, I have a VitaMix and it works very simply & easily, you only need to chop the zuch into about 20 pieces and it blends quickly & completely smoothly into the shake. This blender will blend it, utilizing the smoothie function on the dial, you have to run it through 3 entire smoothie function time periods & sometimes a little more & you have to chop the courgette into tiny pieces, like 50+ to ensure smooth blending. For the price paid, it does a decent job for my purpose. Much better than a Tefal blender we had first tried here in Ireland.

I've had this for a while now and very happy with it. It's very simple to use and does a good job. It seems built to last - and I have had a Magimix food processor for over 20 years, which is still going strong - so I do expect this to last a long time. It looks lovely on our worktop too.
