Review: Simply Superb - After using an inferior brand blender which could not cope with making decent smoothies I did some research into which Blender to buy. Looking on some dedicated "Smoothie" websites the recommendation was for the Blendtec brand. However given these cost £350 upwards I had to look elsewhere. I then found the Magimix and started reading the reviews. Whilst there are always some negative reviews, the general consensus was that this was a good product. So I ordered it on my prime account and it duly arrived the next day. Upon opening the box I could see that this was a decent bit of kit. The glass jar felt very sturdy and when assembled it looks like it means business. I have started to make Green smoothies so I blend up Kale, Spinach, Cabbage, various fruits, along with Sunflower seeds and porridge oaks. The old blender could not make this smooth enough to drink with a straw, but the Magimix simply destroys these tough items into a smooth liquid. The one annoyance was that the Sunflower seeds need to be ground in the optional mill attachment, and I had not realised this beforehand so have had to order separately direct from Magimix spares as could not get cheaper on desertcart. So at this stage not sure how that attachment performs but if it is as good as the jar attachment then it will be great. The Blender has some auto settings for Smoothies, Soup, Ice and Desserts which are good as they perform to set times meaning you won't burn out the motor by overdoing it. As said the Smoothie program made my very smoothie into something I could drink, and the program takes 60 seconds. I cannot comment on how this performs on extend use as I do not want to risk burning it out but I did 2 programs in a row with a couple of minutes breathing space in between, and it was fine. It did feel a little odd when placing the jar on the blender base as it simply rests in by it's weight, whereas previous blenders have all had some form of twisting lock motion. However this is not an issue and in fact is a better more convenient approach as it is simply easy to take on and off. It is a dream to clean also, and in the attached user guide it shows you the auto clean method which is to put 1 Litre of water with 2 drips of washing up liquid in the jar and to put on speed 3 for 30 seconds. Rinse after that and it's ready to use again ! The user guide is pretty decent also, it's a week presented little book with some recipes in also, it's that extra effort that confirms you've bought something of quality. So the bottom line is that I am really impressed with this Blender and will update the review as time goes on to show how it performs after time. Review: C'est Magnifique! - About three years ago, something embarrassing happened to me. I followed a trend. Yeah, yeah, I know - first world problems and all that. I was trying to have a bit of a health kick at the time and had read a bunch of things about the health benefits of smoothies, so I ended up buying an NutriNinja as bit of a knee-jerk reaction. It was a great little machine, but I quickly discovered that it had a few drawbacks. The worst of these problems for me was the noise it made - if I wanted to use it to make a smoothie in the evening (in preparation for taking it to work with me the next morning), I had to make sure I did so before 9pm because it sounded like I was using a frickin’ powertool! I also discovered that, as I got used to having a blender in the kitchen, I soon found that I wanted to blend larger quantities of stuff or hot soups, the Ninja just couldn’t do because it only had small plastic cups to blend things in. At some point between then and now, the ‘Ninja got sold and I decided to give my kitchen a more suitable and eminently more useful upgrade in the form of a Magimix food processor which, if you're in the know, is pretty much the ‘Rolls Royce’ of food processors (they did, after all, invent them) - and it is indeed a truly immense bit of kit, capable of turning onions and whatever you decide to feed into it into lots of tiny bits with zero effort and very little noise. It can knead dough, create nut butters, grate, slice and do all sorts of things and I use it daily but, ironically, it's not super great at blending or making smoothies, so I began to hanker for a proper blender. It would have been at around that point that I discovered that Magimix also made a blender, the and it immediately got the cogs in my brain turning. “What if”, I thought, “The Magimix Le Blender is as good as my Magimix food processor?”. Those cogs kept turning and turning and I procrastinated greatly over whether I should spend £150 on a blender, but as I kept reading articles on blenders I found that the general consensus on purchasing one was ‘buy the best one you can afford’. I procrastinated a little more and, as is my normal pre-purchasing ritual, I did some research to see what else was on the market at and around the same price bracket as ‘Le Blender’ and looked at the KitchenAid ones and the usual contenders such as the Kenwoods and Brevilles, but as I done my comparisons and read reviews I just couldn’t in all honesty see anything else that appealed as much or had as good a reputation as the Magimix. In the end, the final decision was an easy one and I grabbed a ‘Le Blender’ in red here on desertcart for the comparative bargain price of £142 and excitedly waited on it arriving. >>>WHAT'S IN THE BOX? The ‘Le Blender’ arrives in a plain looking cardboard box, which unveils a nice Magimix retail box once that’s opened, and inside that you'll find a hardbound instructions/recipe book, the blender itself in three parts (the jug, lid and base unit), and a tamper - a spatula thingy for scraping the edge of the jug. >>>FIRST IMPRESSIONS? In the process of removing the various components from the packaging, the first thing that struck me about ‘Le Blender’ was the weight of the thing. Very much like my Magimix food processor, which is so heavy that it almost feels capable of forming its own gravitational field, the ‘Le Blender’ is similarly hefty. I’m a true believer of the old adage that weight equates to quality - so this pleased me greatly, even though it was not unexpected. The borosilicate glass jug is chunky and seriously substantial and the base unit feels about the same weight as a red brick, so you’ll have to take care that you don’t drop them on your toes. The sheer quality of this blender is evident even before you turn it on and do anything with it. When it comes to the aesthetic qualities of ‘Le Blender’, it was unabashedly a case of ‘love at first sight’ for me. Even though it looked nice enough in the photos here on desertcart, I couldn’t help but feel struck by how gorgeous it actually is in the flesh. This is definitely not the sort of kitchen gadget that you’ll want to hide away in a cupboard. Nope, you’ll want this sitting pride of place on your kitchen worktop, where it will revel in the admiring (and potentially jealous) glances from your friends and family. Moving onto its controls, ‘Le Blender’ shares the ‘Auto’, ‘Stop’ and ‘Pulse’ buttons on the front of its base unit that you’ll also see on other Magimix gadgets and has got a honking great dial above those buttons, which you can use to adjust the speed or choose from four automatic settings for ice, smoothies, soups and desserts. It’s very, very simple to use and, as is to be expected, the controls all feel of a very high quality. The included hardbound recipe/instructions book is really nice too and contains a bunch of recipes. Granted, a few of them aren’t vegan but it should be simple enough to ‘veganise’ them! There are other thoughtful and practical design touches on ‘Le Blender’, such as the integrated cable-wind underneath the base unit and the small measuring cup built-into the lid, and when it comes to the question... >>>IS IT EASY TO CLEAN? ...The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I remember my mum used to have an old blender which was a total pain to clean because the blades, which were in a recess at the bottom of its jug, could not be removed. This meant that if she wanted to clean the bottom of it she had to do so by poking a cloth into the recess, which was rather tricky to say the least. Rather thankfully, this is not the case with ‘Le Blender’, because those clever French designers at Magimix have made cleaning it ridiculously simple to do. The bottom of its big glass jug unscrews and you can remove the blade assembly (the ring, the blade plate and rubber seal) from the bottom of it with almost no effort at all, meaning that it can all be thoroughly cleaned after each use Before I actually used it in earnest, I gave the blender a good hand clean. It’s also possible to clean it by popping some warm water and washing up liquid into the jug and giving it a good whizz for thirty seconds. >>>BIG JUGS! While I’m on the subject of the jug (and apologies for that heading), it’s worth pointing out that you can put up to 1.8 litres of stuff in it, which is larger than the average blender’s jug and means that you can blend soups and things in fairly large batches. Because it’s made of borosilicate glass - a special type of glass that’s really strong and resistant against temperature changes - you can blend hot and cold things in it without having to worry about damaging it. Another cool thing about the jug is that in addition to the measurement of litres on it, you also have measurements for Pints, Oz, and Cups - which should come in handy if you’re using the blender with recipes which are in US measurements. >>>IS THIS BLENDER NOISY? Well, ok. Let’s put this another way: ‘How noisy is it’, because by their nature, blenders not usually quiet and the noise level from it will change depending on what you’re blending in it. I can however definitely say that it’s not obscenely noisy and you can have a conversation while it’s blending without having to raise your voice. That said, I have noticed that it does create quite a lot of vibration - when I’m blending stuff in it and it’s on my kitchen worktop, I’ve noticed that I can feel the floor vibrating beneath me when it’s at speed ‘2’ and that the level of vibration varies depending on what speed the blender is running at, but this is again probably a common thing shared by most blenders Describing the actual noise level from it is difficult to put into words, but I’d say that it’s probably along the lines of the sort of noise you get out of a something like a hairdryer or a (quiet) vacuum cleaner, if that helps! >>>CAKEY BAKEY TIME! The next thing (and with proper preparation this time) I decided to make in my new toy was a vegan cheesecake. It was actually quite good fun as it meant that I got to use my trusty Magimix food processor for the base of the cheesecake and then used ‘Le Blender’ for the sweet creamy cheesy bit Into the jug went four tubs of vegan cream cheese, a tub of soy yoghurt, half a cup of maple syrup and various other ingredients, then I pushed the lid onto the jug and decided to control the speed manually, taking into account the fact that the recipe states not to blend it too quickly or else air bubbles would form in the mixture, leading to the cake cracking during the baking process. I started at speed ‘1’ and slowly ramped it up to speed ‘2’, marvelling at how infinitely controllable the speed on this blender is in manual mode, as even the smallest twist of the dial results in an instantaneous change in speed, which is actually really cool. After about 30 seconds, the cheesecake mixture looked like it had achieved an even consistency, so I poured it on top of the base and bunged it into the oven for 30 minutes. When it came out it had not split or cracked, so I let it cool and put it in the fridge overnight. It was so lovely that the entire cake was devoured over the course of the weekend. Hooray for ‘Le Blender’! >>>SUMMING UP This is a fantastic piece of kitchen kit that ticks all of the boxes for me; it’s powerful, not too noisy, smart looking, simple to use and easy to clean and I reckon that it’s probably the best blender by far at this price point without going into the obscene prices that Vitamix charge. The catch-line for Magimix products is ‘Built better to last longer’, and considering that there are people who have had their Magimix food processors for 30+ years that are still going strong, I have no reason to doubt that people will be saying the same about these blenders, which is something that’s rare to encounter in consumer electronics in this day and age. I thoroughly agree that you’re better spending a bit more to get a better product that will last you along rather than getting a cheap one that will burn out after six months - and with that in mind I have no doubt whatsoever in recommending ‘Le Blender’ ## Features - 4-IN-1: With pre-set automatic programmes; Dessert, Ice, Soups and Smoothies - 8 SPEED SETTINGS: with Turbo Pulse for the creamiest textures - MORE NUTRIENTS: Cold Mix Technology maintains temperature so that no nutrients are lost - EASY MAINTAINANCE: Removeable blade and dishwasher safe parts - BETTER BLENDING: Unique BlenderMix system produces an ultra fine blend. - RELIABLE AND LONG LASTING: Unbeatable 30-year motor and 3-year parts guarantees - QUIET MARK: The Magimix Le Blender has been awarded the Quiet Mark Accreditation - POWERFUL MOTOR: With 1200W and 15,000 RPM - GLASS JUG: Thermo-resistant Borosilicate glass jug for blending hot and cold mixtures - RECIPES INCLUDED: Recipe book contains over 80 exciting ideas and even more on the free app and Magimix website ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005VBTZNQ | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Magimix | | Brand Name | Magimix | | Capacity | 1.8 litres | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 694 Reviews | | Included Components | Juice Container | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 16.5D x 16.5W x 40.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Le Blender | | Item Weight | 4.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Dualit | | Material | BPA-Free | | Material Type Free | BPA Free | | Model Number | 11610 | | Number of Speeds | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Smoothie | | Part Number | 11610 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | No warranty. | | Product dimensions | 16.5D x 16.5W x 40.5H centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Mixing | | Special feature | Smoothie | | Style | Single | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Wattage | 1200 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Magimix - **Capacity:** 1.8 litres - **Colour:** Black - **Product dimensions:** 16.5D x 16.5W x 40.5H centimetres - **Special feature:** Smoothie ## Images ![Magimix 11610 Le Blender, Black Finish - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ig4KLsjRS.jpg) ![Magimix 11610 Le Blender, Black Finish - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PhEgjXSvL.jpg) ![Magimix 11610 Le Blender, Black Finish - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817AbN5oNWL.jpg) ![Magimix 11610 Le Blender, Black Finish - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wDKAzglsL.jpg) ![Magimix 11610 Le Blender, Black Finish - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vc2HRnpgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the magimix blender manage to blend raw veg like carrot and kale etc?** A: yes, I have blended frozen carrots as well with fruit. Kale blends well also if added with a couple of portions of fruit. Spinach blends well too as do all salad leaves (really convenient are the bags of salad leaves) **Q: what is the guarantee time?** A: From the documents in the box - "Magimix Manufacturer's Guarantee ... 3 years parts and labour from the date of purchase ... you must present your proof of purchase" **Q: Does the ice setting get the ice really smooth like a slush puppie consistency?** A: It does, of course the temperature of the ice will effect consistency but that's how it comes out in mine. No need to add water. **Q: Hi Would I be able to make smoothies with this using spinach and kale and hard vegetables rather than soft fruit. Also if you use apples etc do you have to peel them. one last question - is it worth it Thank you** A: Yes, you can use hard veggies in your smoothies. I often use carrots, beets, celery, mint, courgettes, etc. No, I would not peel the apples. If you use fruits like blackberries or pomegranate, then expect small flecks of seed in your smoothie. You can drink it, but it is noticeable. It blends well, but not baby food fine as the Vita-mix does (I had one in the US). Last question...If you are going to use this daily and can afford a Vita-mix, I would buy it, but the Magimix is a good 2nd choice. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply Superb *by J***B on 6 April 2014* After using an inferior brand blender which could not cope with making decent smoothies I did some research into which Blender to buy.

Easy to use and clean plus a very robust construction *by I***S on 15 March 2015* This is a blender absolutely built to last. In this respect it matches other items by the same manufacturer that have had a long and useful life in our kitchen. Those who have experienced the 'professional' food processor will understand that - ours has given frequent and faultless service for nearly 30 years now and shows no sign of faltering. This blender feels and performs in the same way. Initially this was specifically bought to produce smooth foods following from a severe accident that required a liquid, or liquidised diet, for 12 weeks followed by a gradual return to normal eating. In these respects it out-performed the food processor as intended and the ‘smoothy’ auto option was totally effective. The soup option would clearly be equally successful but, as the results would still need heating, our Morphy Richards soup maker, giving fully cooked soups in only 20 minutes or so, has made it our preferred choice. However, the excellent Magimix recipe book supplied with the blender and with many tempting and imaginative soup ideas has proved to be an excellent 'extra' feature. it is robustly made and well bound and, like the blender, should last for years. The working options are easy to follow and there are effective auto choices. Alternatively it is easy to choose alternative speed settings with the same dial and to use a pulse option to control the precise length of blend. This is similar to the choices available on the food processor. There is an auto cleaning process which involves simply putting warm water with a few drops of Fairy Liquid or similar cleaner and blending for 30 seconds. This is suitable for most situations. More thorough cleaning is easily achieved with some dismantling. There is one item well worth adding to the blender as an additional purchase at about £40 and that is the Mill / Grinder attachment. This has a different cutting mechanism designed to cope with the more arduous tasks of grinding nuts, raw meat and similar foods. It is very similar in concept and blade design to the sturdy Moulinex coffee grinder - and and indeed one of its specified uses is as a coffee grinder. All in all this, despite its higher price than many alternatives, this superb blender is unlikely to break down in normal usage and will repay the investment with extended reliability. It comes with a 3 year guarantee but I would not expect to need this in practice. This is a highly recommended piece of kitchen equipment in every way. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50664672-magimix-11610-le-blender-black-finish](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50664672-magimix-11610-le-blender-black-finish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
