message me if you want to sell it, we might get one for our other place anyway, saves carting it to and from.

if I sold it on her she will turn around and sell my fishing gear that has not been used to its full potential for the last 4 years

LOL, too late anyway, sneaky thing had another on the way all along.

13yr old son went to make porridge in the thermomix the other day. Put it all together, poured in the oats, poured in the milk, then realised he had left the bottom (blades) out of the bowl 

milk all through mechanism and leaking out the bottom

left it to dry for a couple of days, turned it on and all good, but he is now a bit gunshy

15 months gone and it has 15 months of dust build up

I let SWMBO buy one of the cheapie knock off thermo machines because I couldn't justify the price tag. This one was $200 on special. Man it cooks some good food.

Ours is getting used less and less every month
But I notice we now have a juicer  that is was ment to replace the one we got rid of when we brought our thermomix

Bugger paying 2 grand for something that blows up. Users beware .


A number of Thermomix users have come forward with tales of their appliance exploding causing them serious burns

Another two mothers describe their horror after their Thermomix blenders exploded - leaving one with third-degree burns

ACCC getting a bit hot under the collar

We have one and I'm surprised it isn't worn out. Gets used very heavily, often multiple times a day. Personally I avoid anything to do with ours but on the positive side it  has certainly got our kids into cooking.

Thermomix is a cult.

Like Paleo, Scientology and Collingwood supporters

[Kangaron]

Had ours for over a year and gets used multiple times daily.
Makes everything  from puff pastry to toothpaste to insect repellent . It has paid for itself many times over.
As time goes on more and more resources, for example ,

Thermomix admits it misled shoppers on faulty products before issuing safety recall

Our thermomix gets an occasional workout but recently I have noticed that the blades are getting harder and harder to spin. I'm worried that this will overload the motor.

Does anyone know if they can be disassembled and repaired?

Do you mean remove the blades from the mixing bowl

Nope. taking the blade assembly to pieces. Actually I'm just trying to free up the spinning as it is really tight. Can only just get it to turn using fingers (while it is out of the bowl).

Not too sure on that one, maybe send them an email asking for help, they are quick at replying

I'd contact Thermomix, even if it's a decent amount outside of warranty, and mention Australian Consumer Law. I think they might go above and beyond at the moment after just copping a 4.6milion dollar fine for "for making false or misleading representations and misleading the public"
If they don't come to the party I would think the ACCC would say a $2000 kitchen appliance should last a lot more than the 2yr warranty they come with and after just slapping them with a massive fine I think they would more than likely happily inform Thermomix that they need to repair it under the Australian consumer law, even up to 2-3 years out of warranty given the purchase price. I'd probably neglect to tell them that you have pulled it apart though.

4 years + on and all its done is pumpkin soup and 1/2 lasagne

[D4D]

LOL - ours still get used at least once a week, makes a mean hot salami risotto

Missus and son made a pavlova in it the other weekend

[nab]

Missus uses ours daily, often 2-3 times. Even the 9yo made chocolate fudge in it today while the missus was at work! Nothing like putting all the ingredients for spag bol (pasta/sauce/mince) in at the same time and having it ready in 15mins without touching a thing - no mixing sauce, boiling water etc. Sounds like a wank but when the missus is trying to do a million things for 3 kids in the arvo, that 30mins saved is a lifesaver!!!

[Kangaron]

Ours still working very hard.
Easy day today, had to finely dice 2 large onions.
2 seconds on turbo.
Done.
No tears.
