Good advice  maddy.

This "cattle dog " just arrived in my mailbox. Now it is $499.



Interesting that it was only $299 in Target. Just goes to show how huge the markup can be at The Good Guys.

Lots of people will be sucked in as they think it will be an improvement on the Bellini instead of the same crap which it no doubt is.

Just in time for Mothers Day. How nice.

And they have a new web site that looks pretty slick. Nearly died laughing when I go to the Testimonial page and saw Tom Cruise and some Chick from Sidney. The Blog page is hysterical.

Wonder if they've fixed the problems of the Bellini.  Will watch with interest.

Probably not. I would say all the machines  still in the factory in China would have been quickly rebadged and sent on their way. Anyone who thinks these are an improvement needs  to ask a lot of questions. The contact number is a call centre.

The must have made many thousands and will dump them any way they can.

Call me suspicious

You can call it what you like but it is exactly the same machine made in China. This guy is really pushing it.

:-))    our friend is working hard again today....page 34

http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?449850-Bellini-multi-function-kitchen-machine/page34



I cannot believe it that someone bought  a Bellini, it burned the food , the motor finally broke down and she is off to buy the another one at the Good Guys who know absolutely nothing about this product except it was no doubt offered  to  them at a giveaway price. 

Can you see the manufacturer unpacking the Bellini , taking it apart, putting in a new  motor and what ever else it needs then  re badgeing it , repacking it, putting it back on the truck and off to the shipping container. Are people nuts.? It would be cheaper to dump this  stuff . But no putting a new label on it , calling it better, stealing more recipes , putting the price up and selling it at The Good Guys  just in time for Mothers Day  is what they do. Shame Shame

Ok prove me wrong.

Nobody is saying the  Super duper chef  thermo Bellini thingy   is not safe, just that it is  crap. IMHO.  And now $500? Who are they trying to kid?  Try making a loaf of bread dough every day for  6 weeks?  See how long the motor lasts.

This foodieatheart person has been on every blog possible supporting every machine that is NOT a Thermomix, no matter how crappy it is. I remember them posting something about the Hotmix Pro.

Someone with an axe to grind with Thermomix perhaps?
