Unbelieveable thermomix deal for $699. Is this legit?

[Kissmypixel]

The company has a phone number. I'm going to call them on Tuesday and get the low down. Will let you all know after the call 😊 I'm game enough to find out the nitty gritty.

I know for a fact that some distributors  in other countries do sell directly. Whether Verwork is complicit In this I do not know.

I rang costdeal to ask about warranty and they advised that it has 2 years warranty, if there's a problem it needs to be sent back to costdeal and they'll get the supplier to fix it.  I did ask who the supplier was and they said Vorwerk (who knows how true that is).

It did take an hour of me ringing before they answered the phone though.  I've decided I'm just going to be happy with my Thermomix and contact the thermomix website and ask for a new demonstrator 

If the deal is legit that's great for a lot of people, personally I might have spent twice as much however I can just be grateful that I still have a wonderful thermomix

What's with this transparent veroma?

My sister also picked up on the fact in the list it said they TM is 1000 watts maximum, where they are 1500 watts.
But further down the page it says 1500 watts.
Don't know if that's a typo or not?

What's with this transparent veroma?

That is the term that is used on ebay as they just keep copying the listings ... years later lol. About 5 years ago the varoma was made of stainless steel, but they revamped it and made the new ones that we now have. The old ones used to drip water when steaming and get really hot.

What's with this transparent veroma?

The transparent aroma refers to the transparent lid. The body of the varoma  is grey plastic. If I didn't already have a TMX and a second bowl set I'd be sorely tempted.

I have not been online for a few days (School hols) and missed this when it was $699.     
The wording is very strange and poor grammatically, and that is usually enough to make me very wary.
It says they now have had 73 sales and it is the Australian machine with Australian power plug etc.
 I have asked why they have a 20 day delay in processing the orders??
It looks like the real thing,  But maybe just using TMX pictures, but if it is an Australian company that would be pretty risky.
It is a .com.au address.
Does anyone know anything about the history of this company?

I am soo tempted.       I have been looking at the 2nd hand ones for my daughter, but this would be much better with 2yr guarantee.  Or I could give her TC and keep TMX

We rang the company today. They are selling them at a loss because they are trying to get traffic to their website because they are a new company (one week old they told us).  I'm tempted (or my husband definately is).  If you pay by Paypal and use your credit card connected to paypal, you have two avenues to get a refund if it falls through (paypal and your credit card provider). They told us that they will not be placing the order with Vorwerk until the deal is closed (once they reach a limit yet to be decided by them after speaking to Vorwerk) hence the delay. Hope this helps.

SO they have none at all in their possession? That is more then concerning. Especially for a new company, nothing stopping them from shutting up shop, with 73 sold, plus the other 17, they are close to $100k through the door in a week. Not bad for a company with no history what so ever. Off to check if they have been set up as pty ltd...

[LeeJ]

I have to wonder how they could possibly be sourcing these directly from verwork, when their whole sales model is through consultants? If times were tough, surely they'd alter their sales model through their existing importer. And they are far from tough, aussie sales have skyrocketed in the past 2 years.

I was close to going eith this as a second machine, but I have to wonder if these will eventuate at all, it has scam written all over it.

[mkr]

Coming directly from Vorwerk? I doubt it. I really hope people can get their money back as it's sounding more and more like a scam.

If you were tempted, you could purchase a small/cheap item from the company first to suss out the customer service and reliability etc. 

[LeeJ]

They also have fake accounts spamming pages (ie tenina's), saying how wonderful the company is, and they've been so pleased with their purchase... but the account was created a day ago 

I just looked up their ABN, registered 4 months ago, as a pty ltd company. Very easy to liquidate that with hardly any repercussion.

Where are they Leej ?
