A few nasty words about the Thermomix.

[Halex]

I have read most of the thread not all of it - unbelievable, some of the comments they were making is absurd as they don't even own one! I did laugh at some of the comments - also I didn't like all the swearing, not necessary.

The price was an issue with us, yes its a lot of money, but once bought you start to reap the health and financial rewards.

TM best used kitchen appliance in our house.

it frustrates me how people can be so negative about something they really dont know much about and its only because of the price... would they sneer at a $2000 tv or computer or something like that? they just think all this talk of healthy foods and additive free cooking is a load of rubbish, let them believe wat they want, i know the difference my tm has made for this family...

think it is written tongue in cheek, and meant to amuse more than anything

Not  too long ago people where saying the same about mirowave ovens
The cost of mine was $1200 back in the 80s my family and friends would say I was mad to spend all of that money . I still have it!!!!

I'm sure a couple of those people have attended my demos 

As mentioned by em, I too am sometimes a bit surprised to hear such negativity about the price when (a) some haven't even seen it being demonstrated and (b) - and this is the biggie - some people think absolutely nothing of spending that same amount of money on golf clubs / flat screen TV / computers & accessories etc..

Plus - as fundj said, microwaves used to be considered an "unnecessary luxury" & now I'd say most homes in Australia have them... What about when food processors first appeared!? Same thing - now they're in every household (except the ones with a TMX!!) 

I'm on my high horse, but it just amazes me that a lot of people think nothing of spending hundreds of dollars every week on take-away & eating out and buying pre-packaged, preservative-packed rubbish they term "food".... yet balk at spending (albeit a lot of) money on something that is so good for them. What happened to the importance of our & our children's health people!?

WOW, who would have thought this country chick would be 'compared' to a North Shore Mummy.   Hehehehe the north shore mummies would be horrified.

Could someone please book me that holiday to Italy for under $2000, I haven't got time to book it I am to busy making icing sugar.  hehehehhe

Really is to funny!!!!!!

Hey, I know all about the "microwave controversy"  because my first one was an Amana Radarange, purchased in 1968 for $500.00, when you could buy a Ford Falcon for $2250.00!

People thought I was a nut case but even then I was an appliance junkie and my then husband was very indulgent and enjoyed my cooking.  (He was a body-builder and I didn't complain about the $$$ he spent on weights and exercise equipment.)

What a lot of rubbish.  I have done both,  Italy and Thermomix.  Give me TMX every time.

I haven't done Italy, but when I have travelled which admittedly has only been within Australia I always get the feeling on return of 'oh dear spent a lot of money and now what do I have to show for it' and I am sure that is how I would feel if I spent $2000 on a holiday.  Don't get me wrong one day I do want to travel to Europe but at the moment, cooking for my family and friends is a much higher priority and my TMX allows me to do this
