The Great Thermomix Dilemma

On receiving an invitation to a Thermomix demo recently, I jumped at the opportunity. I keep hearing good things about the Thermomix T31, supposedly the most advanced kitchen appliance on the market. Only a handful of my friends own a Thermomix "the world's smallest, smartest kitchen", but those that do rave about its ease of use, efficiency and capability.



Developed in Germany back in 1960, there have been 4 generations of the Thermomix. This is a kitchen appliance that has taken over Europe by storm and is currently expanding globally with supposedly 2 Thermomix sold every minute.

After attending the aforementioned demo, and seeing a Thermomix T31 in all its glory, I am certainly impressed. A sorbet and hummus (not together I might add!) made in a matter of minutes, a delicious risotto made without stirring, and bread dough prepared in under 10 minutes are just a few of the dishes this magic machine can produce. Thermomix beats, mixes, stirs, mills, kneads, blends, cooks, steams, weighs and melts providing an all-in-one solution to the kitchen.

A Thermomix certainly proves to be the mother-of-all kitchen appliance but what holds many people back is the cost. At a hefty $1999 price tag, that's a lot of money for what some might classify 'a glorified blender', and so the question would be whether a Thermomix is worth the investment from a family perspective.

Pros



Cons



My mind is not made up yet, and the great Thermomix dilemma continues.
