Second Bowl Incentive - Do I really need one?
« on: March 31, 2010, 08:18:48 am »
With the new incentive, I'm probably not the only one considering this.  Do I really need a second bowl?  Any thoughts from those who have the second one?  Or should I wait for the second machine incentive  :o

I don't use mine very often as with careful planning there are not that many times that you really need a second bowl.

If you kow someone who is likely to buy then half price is good though.

I would probably get a second one if I could, but that's only because I like to put it into the dishwasher- which takes too long to finish!

I love my second bowl.   I often cook using both,  like now.  I have Isi's bread rising in one and Maddy's soup in the second one.  Yesterday when we made 4 dozen HXB's the 2 worked well.  You can organize it so that the first thing goes into the thermoserver, but being lazy this saves a lot of effort.

I think I can manage without one although if someone offered me one for free, I'd certainly accept it  :D :D  2 TMX's - now that is something I could do with.  When they bring out a new model I might buy one and keep my old one - then again I might be too old to bother cooking by then  :P :P

I've got 2 bowl and blade sets and absolutly LOVE having both!! You can survive with one, but 2 make it much easier. In January I qualified for another bowl and blade set for free as a consultant so have just given that to Mum as a thanks for having DD when I do the demos  ;)

I'm pretty sure I could get one half price as my sister has 98% decided to buy.  Just a lot of money to make dishwashing easier.

I was advised to buy a second bowl when I got my machine as it was discounted if you did so.   I am really glad I did - it isn't essential at all but does make life easier.

Well techinically I have three  ;) ;D :-)) But I only use two. I got a second free as an incentive for sales in my first sixty days, then bought a third one when I had the opportunity to buy one half price in Jan with the consultant incentive for 4 sales. LOVE LOVE LOVE having the second bowl. But you don't 'need' one  8) If you have the chance to get one at half price though I would snap it up!!

The host promotion for April. This is only the second time in three years that the opportunity to purchase a second bowl and blade set has been offered as a host incentive. As long as you have a minimum of two guests from different households at your demo, the host has the opportunity to purchase a second bowl and blade set for your machine at $100 off ($295) or if a guest purchases from your demo at half price $195. You would also be elligible for other incentives like the varoma book if you have a varoma demo etc  ;D

That sounds like a good deal. Too bad I'll be in Perth for most of April as I'd love a second bowl. Especially when I want to rise my bread doughs in the TMX bowl because it isn't warm enough to do it elsewhere - like today. There have been quite a few times that I have said to my DH that I could do with a second bowl and blade set.

Roxy you could always ask a friend to hold a demo in Perth with you as the host and then buy it as long as a consultant would be happy to use their machine...... Just a thought  ;) I would be happy to do the demo for you depending on the location. PM me if you want  :)

I always thought I could manage without a second bowl, until mine was dropped on the spout. It really mucked things up without much obvious damage. The bowl was out of shape-but thankfully all is well now. I will be seriously thinking about it.
