Food processors continue to enjoy continued popularity. Thanks to their versatile functions, they can be real helpers when cooking. Lidl is currently offering the well-known Monsieur Cuisine connect again at special conditions. TECHBOOK took a closer look at the offer.
When it comes to kitchen machines, the Thermomix is the ultimate for many. The catch: The device therefore costs a lot. That’s why there are now some inexpensive alternatives. One of them comes from Lidl or the discounter’s own brand Silvercrest and is called Monsieur Cuisine. The device is available in different versions: connect, smart and plus – with connect forming the cornerstone of the series. The Monsieur Cuisine connect is currently on offer at Lidl for 349 instead of 399 euros. However, the food processor now has a more up-to-date successor, especially with the smart edition. Is the offer still worth it?

The Monsieur Cuisine connect at Lidl
The discounter is currently selling its Monsieur Cuisine connect at a 12 percent discount Online shop. If you’re wondering about the “trend” suffix at the end, it’s largely the same device. However, the manufacturer installed a different heating element in order to avoid a patent dispute with Vorwerk, the manufacturer of the renowned Thermomix. The new element provides 50 watts more power, otherwise the data is identical.
In addition to its practical functions such as stirring and chopping, the food processor also offers a WLAN interface. This means users can access up to 500 recipes directly via the integrated display.

Is the Lidl offer worth it?
Even though the Monsieur Cuisine connect is no longer the latest model, it is still very popular. The device offers everything you would expect from a food processor and at a generally fair price. When making a purchase decision, however, you have to take into account that some of the functions that the “smart” successor offers are not on board in this case, especially voice control. The display is also slightly smaller in comparison and the connect has fewer automatic programs. However, if you don’t mind that and want a well-rounded complete package, you should definitely take a closer look at the Monsieur Cuisine connect.
