Three-model comparison
Magimix 3200XL, 4200XL and 5200XL: compare bowls and tools
Three nested bowls, three different main-bowl plans
The U.S. Magimix family pages describe a shared design with a mini bowl, a disc-oriented midi bowl and a larger main bowl. The 3200XL ratings are 12, 10 and 6 cups; the 4200XL ratings are 14, 12 and 6; and the 5200XL ratings are 16, 12 and 6. The upgrade from 4200 to 5200 increases the main bowl but not the two smaller listed capacities. The 3200 is smaller again, but its U.S. NutriMill listing is refurbished and sold out in the observed snapshot. Keep that one as a useful identity and older-package reference—not an available or eligible choice in a current shopping shortlist.
What changes in the published task table?
The NutriMill comparison table reports these task amounts for the 3200XL / 4200XL / 5200XL in order: bread dough, 1.3 / 2.2 / 2.6 lb; pastry dough, 2.2 / 2.6 / 3.3 lb; blending, 4.2 / 5.5 / 7.6 cups; chopping meat, 1.6 / 2.2 / 3 lb; grating carrots, 1.7 / 2.2 / 3 lb; and egg whites, 5 / 6 / 8. It gives main-bowl power as 650 / 950 / 1,100 watts. Those figures are task-specific distributor table entries, not a universal bowl fill amount or a lab comparison. The listed dough values are pounds of dough, not flour cups, and the table does not give a recipe formula that would support a conversion. Use the matching task line and the booklet that shipped with the exact U.S. appliance.
The included tools are mostly shared—one difference is easy to miss
The 4200XL and 5200XL U.S. listings include the XL feed tube and triple pusher, nested bowls, knife blade, BlenderMix ring, dough blade, egg whisk, two slicing discs, two grating discs, spatula and recipe/instruction book. Both packages use fixed 2 mm and 4 mm discs rather than an adjustable slicer. A separate dicing/French-fry attachment is sold by the distributor; it is not in either standard package. The key supplied attachment difference is citrus: the 4200 listing labels the citrus press optional, while the 5200 lists the citrus juicer in the box. So a need for an included citrus press changes the package choice; a desire for grid-cut cubes does not point to the 5200 unless you also add the distinct accessory.
The observed refurbished 3200XL page likewise lists the family tool bundle and labels its citrus juicer optional. But refurbishment does not mean an exact current package or current stock, and the exact 3200 page links to generic refurb warranty information without stating terms in the listing itself. A currently sold-out refurb row stays a reference and must not be passed off as a new U.S. product configuration.
Which package fits the work you actually repeat?
Choose around the task chart, bowl sizes and special-tool requirement together. The 4200XL is the mid-size current package when 14 cups in the main bowl and the 4200's listed amounts address the work. The 5200XL is the larger current plan for up to its listed task amounts and the included citrus press; its published height is 17½ inches versus 16¾ inches for the 4200XL. Check cabinet clearance for the pusher and lid, not just body height. The 3200XL can clarify what a smaller Magimix package contained, but because the observed U.S. row is sold out/refurbished it should not be chosen as a current purchase result. If you need adjustable slice thickness, an included dicer, or a manual-approved continuous run ceiling, none of these listings has established those exact requirements; use another reviewed model or seek the exact manual/package evidence before treating an unknown as a match.
These comparisons use the distributor's specifications and listed contents, not hands-on results or customer reviews. The household power and body dimensions are published on the exact new 4200XL and 5200XL pages. The available family booklet is English/UK; it is useful only as a family reference and is not used here to fill a U.S. electrical, care, warranty or refurb-terms gap.
