Bad Points

  • While this Thermomix has a number of new safety features including a temperature cut out at high speeds, it still allows you to blend at high speeds when the liquid inside could still be hot.
  • Rubber seal inside the lid is not removable. If it becomes damaged or deteriorates the whole lid will need to be replaced.
  • Can be difficult to scrape thick mixtures from around the blade.
  • Can trap food odours, need to soak jug with bicarb soda after cooking strong smelling foods.
  • Touch controls are sensitive.
  • Some browning may occur inside the jug when using the heat settings over time can be removed with soaking of vinegar and water.
