Bellini Intelli Kitchen Master BTMKM510W
ThermoChef Natura
Thermomix TM31

While all the machines are capable of a number of tasks, it’s ease of use that sets them apart. The Bellini and Thermochef both come close to the Thermomix on performance. But when it comes to ease of use, the Thermomix is miles ahead, leaving only one clear winner.

The Thermomix is undoubtedly the best kitchen machine on the market, which is why we score it above the others. Whether it’s $1500 or so better than the Bellini depends on how much you value clear instructions and a fiddle-free life.

This is from a Choice review which was updated only 2 days ago. Very interesting for anyone wanting the TMX but just can't afford it! Sounds like if you can handle a bit of fiddling in your kitchen then you might just be happy with a Bellini from Target at $399 or beter yet, wait until they are on sale and save yourself a bunch of money. None the less I'm booking in the TMX demo to check it all out

Correction, Choice says the Bellini starts at $329 and TMX $1934... That's a massive $1605 price difference for fiddle free cooking. hmmmmmm
