New Model Thermomix, truth or rumour?

[astarra]

Still nothing on thermomix.com.au about it yet tho 

Bit disappointed in the recipe chip, I would be nearly lusting over one if I could put my usbs into it and use all my saved recipes, but sadly it doesn't look like it can be done!  Actually, it probably is just as well,

You know I like the look of it; nice, smooth and modern looking and my DH asked me this morning if I'd like one  

I'm going to hold off on that though, as for me there aren't enough changes that make me want to fork out another $2000 to upgrade.  
A 200ml bigger bowl is neither here nor there and the one thing that would have got me really interested - the temperature isn't very much different either.

My dtr hopes to buy her first machine towards the end of the year, so if that happens I will get a hands on look at it, but for now I will watch and read peoples reviews to see if my mind changes.

I like the look of it but nothing new so far to make me interested in upgrading.   I would like to see  one in action , I will be very interested to hear about the first demo held, who's upmformthat?

[astarra]

I stand corrected - maybe - just looked at the au tm site and the stay updated tab is currently under maintenance so I guess it is coming!!

thermomix HO australia website is now under maintenance, so they must be uploadding  info.

[Bedlam]

I like the look of a larger varoma.  I wonder if it would fit the old machine.

[turando]

Yay. Finally some info. I wish the temperature could go higher though but I guess most customers wouldn't use it.

Not sure it will tempt that many previous customers to upgrade but it's probably a good upgrade for anyone buying considering the price difference is only $50 more.

Funny how the UK TMX site and Helene's blog released the information before HO Australia. 

[CreamPuff63]

I thought the same thing. Wasn't it going to be announced in Australia first?

My information was that it was going to be a worldwide release all coinciding together.

I have a feeling it will be up after the Roadshow.

Well there you go!
I know this may seem trivial, but how could They not improve the scales??  For someone who bakes a lot, .5g increments is really not good enough...you really shouldn't have to use your bench top digital scales for accuracy,  when you have a machine of this value!
Recipe chip & touch screen...meh...I'll stick to simplicity :-)

[Bedlam]

It does say improved scale, no details though.

[Itsnotartitsdinner]

Agreed Maddy!

On Helene's website (link posted back on this thread a bit) it says this about the scales.

'The scales will weigh 5 gram increments from 0 to 3 kg and negative weight will also register.'
