Look what Target has ....

It was very intereresting reading, you just feel as if you want to step in there and defend the TMX but why bother, it wouldn't convince them anyway as they have pre-conceived ideas about us as owners.  Wonder how long it will take for this subject and product to die down - the TC caused the same stir but haven't heard of too many problems with that.  I couldn't believe one person sold her TMX and bought the Bellini

I know  .....I guess it was a money decision, I couldn't think why else.

Well there is no need to see what other ppl are saying about us and we really could care less. It is all about having confidence.

It does however  sadden me that one person sold her underused TMX  to buy the Bellini. You have to feel sorry about  that but really happy for the one who was fortunate to buy it and hopefully at a  good price. I think the ThermoChef could a better option for those who want  something that blends and cooks.

Too funny about some cookbooks being removed and others in the box. Someone didn't get the memo. The ones without the cookbook are probably better off as they will come here to ask  and get the good info.

Funny how some people think this is an Australian Forum. Sorry MM.

Still I am not laughing and hope ppl are ultimately happy with their buy. For some the $265 was a very big deal and we have all been there I expect.

I am laughing about the person who imported their TMX from Spain for $800 cheaper.  My DH is in Malaysia  at the moment and asked me if I wanted a second one as he can buy it up there for  an unbelievable price. Said he would toss it in the overhead rack. I told him he would have to check it because of the blade and he withdrew the offer. Pity.  He must have had a senior moment as all his life he has been in the airline industry and specialised in dangerous and hazardous freight not to mention the latest  carry on board policies. LOL!

Just as a matter of interest, how much was he going to pay for the TMX? And was it being sold through demo?

Poor DH Gert!!

Gert . . just curious . .  wouldn't your DH just have to remove the blades and check them through with his other luggage? The rest can be carry on?

He did not tell me the price and I didn't ask but he would not be interested if  it was  much more than $1000  so  probably between that and $1400. I know he has LIMITS !    I am sure the Malaysians have quite a different  selling stragedy and are more flexible  not relying on just home demos.  You could probably buy one on line from them but the postage might be hefty. Anyway can but ask. http://www.truemix.com.my/english/home.htm. You  need flash to view it best so not on your iPad.

Good point goldfish but it would have to be a very cold day in hell before my DH ever checked a bag into the hold of an aircraft. He has been travelling by air for over 60 years  and has never checked a bag. For  that matter neither have I. Never lost one either. LOL! Remember it has only been since 9/11 that the rules changed for carry one luggage so it was much easier to carry stuff like bottle openers in the past. Thank goodness for screw top wine bottles now. Pity about carrying the Swiss Arm Knife. I do miss it.

Luggage??? He could travel around the world for 6 weeks with a  wee travel bag. Very efficient is DH.

hehe so funny reading some of the bellini reviews.....start off with omg i got a machine just like the TM for less than $300, next oh its great its exactly the same as the TM I can now cook everything!!, finishing off with hmmmmm well its burnt, its not quite as good, cant do this cant do that etc etc

will be interesting over the next few weeks to see how many are returned! or laybys cancelled

[dede]

Well I really enjoyed reading the link to bub hub. Not very good reviews so far. And the sink plug, now that's hilarious.
That would make me feel sick knowing a sink plug was cooked with the soup.

Interesting reading. Time will tell with the Bellini.

[happyexpat]

I had to say I lterally fell about laughing when I saw the photo of the kitchen plug on that thread. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and had to use my puffer  but it was very funny. Reminded me of the time that my MIL cooked a casserole with the bar of yeloow dish soap in the pot. She accidently picked it up with the vegies that she had cut into the sink. The casserole was totally inedible. It's funny now, but at the time she had six kids and a farmer hubby and they were really broke, so it was a very bad mistake to make.

Tried to get a look at these new wonder machines today; apparently every store in WA is sold out. It will be interesting to see whether the next batch have the faults fixed. I would buy my Mum one as a pressie if she wanted one...she could take it in the caravan and not worry about it.

The sink plug probably worked very well to keep the soup moving from the base and stopped it getting the burn marks everyone else seems to have trouble with.

The first time I used TC it just caught a little on the bottom,  Just brown.  I was making a custard for icecream.
It has never done it again.
I wondered if it is like seasoning a new pan.  Often new pans stick far more than ones that get a lot of use.
And TC gets a lot of use.

Had a read and as stated these people one cant afford a thx and two by the sounds of it dont like to cook much either... If you arent a fan of cooking then a thx will never be suitable.. If you cant cook but want to thats a different story... Bottom line each to their own and like previously stated not e eryone can afford a thx but if i was them id invest in the thermochef and not the bellini.. At least the tc holds its own in what it can do and isnt claiming to be the same as a $2k machine as they put it lol..

For those that have bought it here have you had the burning problem??

Cant believe someone sold their thx to buy a bellini.. Thats just sad..oh well...
