My girlfriend has the Bellini and she said it was great for a few months but she returned it because it was burning her food. Another friend recently bought the thermochef and she loves it!
I'd love a thermie but like you I'm hesitant due to the price. I think it makes good sense to try one out first and you can always upgrade!
A friend demos the Thermomix here in Perth and I can see why it's so popular. Another friend uses her Tmx several times a day - dinners, grinding coffee beans, snacks and cakes etc. But, I too love cooking and don't think I'd get the same satisfaction in having it all done for me, iykwim. Plus the $$! DH already has every gadget known to mankind, so there's really nothing extra it can do, except save time. I like that she does sorbets and yoghurt soft serve instantly, and make her own almond meal, caster sugar etc but I worked out I can do all that in my food processor too. Another friend has had her Bellini about 12 months and likes it, but decided it wouldn't get enough use if she upgraded to a tmx.
One of my good friends is a consultant so I've been talking to het about the Thermomix but I'm finding she is biased so its hard to get genuine answers. I know she uses hers everyday and I can see she loves cooking NOW but she's the first to admit she hated cooking before. I'm very creative and quick in the kitchen so I see it as an accessory whereas she can't live without it, know what I mean?
