Substitute for my 20-year old Magimix 5100 for which replacement bowls are no longer available.  Performs well in all my food preparation tasks (chopping, slicing, grating, cake mixing and bread-making), although not quite as powerful as the Magimix, so some processes take a bit longer, but the end result is just as good, and sometimes better.  This machine cost around 75% less than an equivalent new Magimix model, so if I get more than 5 years use out of it, it will prove to be a great buy.
