Bosch Cookit and Magimix Cook Expert: two cooking processors, connected differently

After Kenwood and Thermomix there are more machines that cook in a bowl. The Bosch Cookit and the Magimix Cook Expert were not announced in 2025 the way the TM7 was, and this article does not pretend they are this year's launches. It reads what the makers still publish, and checks where the pages contradict each other. "Smart" does not mean the same thing here: the Cookit connects to Home Connect. On the Cook Expert page Magimix records that the machine is not connected.

The pages were checked on 19 October 2026. We did not cook with the machines, and we did not pick a winner.

Bosch Cookit: up to 200 degrees, and the numbers are not the same on every page

The core repeats across several Bosch pages. A 3.0 litre stainless pot, for up to 8 people. Temperature from 37 to 200 degrees, in steps of up to 1 degree. Power 1,750 watts. Three ways of cooking: step-by-step recipes, automatic programs, and manual cooking. An integrated scale that shows whole grams. The pot, the lid and the tools are dishwasher safe, and there are cleaning programs. Yeast dough up to 1.5 kg. Maximum speed 1,800 revolutions per minute. Machine dimensions 310 by 345 by 460 mm.

From there the pages split, so the number of programs is not given here as a single number.

• On the Swiss Bosch page for model MCC9555FWC the machine was still shown for sale: 1,359 Swiss francs including VAT, after a previous price of 1,538.60 francs on the same page. It is a premium set. The page lists 31 programs, 140 recipes, and a net weight of 13.5 kg. That is a Switzerland price on the day we checked, not a price for Israel and not a price for Germany.
• On the German page for the MCC9555DWC it says the product is no longer available. On that same page: 34 programs, 184 recipes, and a net weight of 13.4 kg.
• On the German specification sheet for the MCC9555DWC the list is different: 38 automatic programs, 185 recipes already installed on the machine, and further recipes to download in the app. The scale there goes up to 5 kg, in steps of 1 gram, in the pot or as a separate kitchen scale. For sous vide the sheet notes adjustment in whole degrees. There is also an automatic boiling-point adjustment according to where the machine stands. A 5.0 litre steaming attachment is included, about 2.4 kg of medium potatoes, and a 1.5 litre steaming insert, about one kilogram. Many recipes have a keep-warm option. Opening the lid stops the preparation step.

In the Bosch instruction manual the machine is described as a network appliance. You connect it to the home Wi-Fi network and to the Home Connect app. The service is not available in every country. Operation on the machine itself overrides operation from the app. The Swiss page has a footnote: some functions require an internet connection, a Home Connect account and a Single Key ID account. Home Connect is a service of Home Connect GmbH.

Before you connect, it is worth reading what consumer groups found about other smart appliances. That is not a finding about the Cookit, and we wrote it separately in what actually needs Wi-Fi.

Magimix Cook Expert: induction, and the page says it is not connected

On the Magimix product page, checked the same day, the Cook Expert is a cooking processor with an 18/10 stainless bowl of 3.5 litres, and a working capacity of 2.5 litres. 18 automatic programs and a manual mode. Induction heating from 30 to 160 degrees. Power 1,700 watts. Weight 11.14 kg with the cooking bowl. A 30-year motor warranty, a 3-year parts warranty, and spare parts for 30 years. The Connected field says No. There is a Magimix app for guided recipes and meal planning, and the page notes a rinse program and tools that can be washed in a dishwasher. The lid is glass, and the blades carry the Sabatier name.

On the Magimix specification sheet still linked from that site, the numbers are not the same. It says 13 automatic programs, including rinse, plus a manual mode named Expert, plus two programs for optional accessories. Heat is 30 to 160 degrees, to the degree, and time runs from 5 seconds to 4 hours. Keep-warm for up to 2 hours. Soup and slow-cooking capacity: 2.5 litres. Steamer basket with tray: 2.5 litres. A recipe book with 300 ideas. A separate scale, from 2 grams to 10 kg, accurate to 1 gram, not a scale described as part of the machine. Country of origin: France. The motor warranty on the sheet is 30 years or 1,000 hours of motor use. The product page states 30 years without the hours sentence. We did not decide which wording applies to the machine sold today.

Capacity, heat, power, and the fact that the machine is not connected do repeat. The program count, 18 on the page and 13 on the sheet, does not.

What is worth comparing before you buy

A useful comparison comes from the pages, not from a ranking.

• Working capacity, not only the bowl's total. At Magimix, 3.5 litres on the bowl and 2.5 litres for soup. At Bosch, 3.0 litres on the pot. At Thermomix, 2.2 litres in the mixing bowl, with steaming in the Varoma kept separate.
• The top temperature. The Cookit reaches 200 degrees on Bosch's pages. The Cook Expert stops at 160. The Cooking Chef XL and the CookEasy+ reach 180, and the TM7 holds 37 to 120 and reaches 160 in a browning mode.
• Where the recipe lives. On the Cookit, some functions require an account. On the Cook Expert, the maker says the machine is not connected, and the guided recipes sit in an app and in a book.
• Warranty and parts, only where the maker wrote a number. Magimix has a number, and it also has the hours caveat on the sheet.
• A price only in the market where you saw it. Here there is a Swiss price for one Cookit, a German launch price for the TM7 in the article on that model, and no Kenwood or Magimix price, because we did not find a stable maker's price.

The Kenwood detail is in Cooking Chef XL and CookEasy+, and Vorwerk is in Thermomix TM7.

A recipe that is not locked to one machine

A machine with built-in recipes is handy in the middle of cooking. A recipe you found somewhere else, or wrote yourself, still needs a home. According to the KitchenAppes homepage, cooking mode keeps the screen on and shows one step at a time, and timers start directly from the step that needs them.
