TM21 vs TM31

[auntyj]

Does anybody own or have experience with the TM21? I went to a demo today on the 31, & know a few people who own them & love them. I know I'd get a lot of use out of it, but on a single wage & big mortgage there's no way I can afford the $2000.
I've seen the 21 for around $600 & I could manage that.
Just wondered if there are any major drawbacks with the 21 compared to the 31? I know the blade doesn't do reverse & you have to switch it out for the butterfly blade - this doesn't bother me.
Apologies if I haven't posted this in the correct thread - I've literally just joined as I'm thinking of buying quite soon.
Many thanks.

Hi, 

I have had a TM31 for over 4 years.
I bought my Mum a TM21.   Basically it can do as much as a TM31, just adjust the recipe, and add up 1 speed.

I have sold it now to a neighbor.


It didn't have a reverse, and the varoma baskets are hard to get for that model.
You can use a bamboo basket instead.

Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to know
