That is true Judy but being able to turn it down to just under boiling is handy.

I am sorry Mich.  it's not too often you feel advantaged living in the West but I think I ordered a couple of days after you.  You will love it, I certainly do.  Just a shame it hasn't been managed better.

Thanks Denise, I'm really starting to miss TMX now. Luckily I have borrowed a food processor. I'm not the only one and I'm not upset by it. TMX is a good product and worth the wait.

My daughter has noticed that the new thermomix doesn't have a capital T at the beginning, where Thermomix 31 does lol. Not something I would of spotted :)

My order number is 798314 and was processed on the 18/9 so the numbers seem to be all over the shop.

The order numbers are not according to order. Consultants get manual order forms which you would have noticed with numbers on them and when we enter them into the system we input the same number as the paper form and that is your order #. The only way it works in order is through date of payment processed is the most important thing. So someone might have order numbers starting with 6XXX and others with 7XXX etc.

What we need is an East Coast Distributor who is  savvy and is ethical. Canada has a population of around 35,000,000 and they have two distributors. Maybe I will write another letter to Vorwerk though they never replied to my last two.

I love the 98. I use it regularly to stop stuff spluttering everywhere.

I ordered on the 9th September. I'm pleased I have Mr T5. I feel very sorry for those who have that amount of money outstanding for so long before they receive their machines.

Here here Gert! There is too big of a area for just one distribution channel - obviously Grace Mazur loves the control she has but this debacle has shown the need for more distribution nationwide. When you look at the size of Australia it just doesn't make sense.

While Grace is selling 10,000+  a month I doubt Vorwerk will do anything about her contract but when they realise how many of their  customers are unhappy with her methods they may change their minds and solicit a new distributor. I know there is some interest and overtures  have been made.

There is a lot of politicking going on about the distribution coming in the US. People flying all over the place. Interesting times.

Great Lonnie, where abouts are you?

I agree Gert, an east coast distributer would be awesome.  :D
