Natura ThermoChef

[nickrey]

I've been looking avariciously at the Thermomix but couldn't justify the almost $2,000 price tag that we are slugged with in Australia.

Today I came across the Natura ThermoChef, which has most of the features of the Thermomix at around $900.

They are Spanish designed and made in China (along with much of the rest of the goods produced in the world these days).

I've read a number of side by side comparisons and they seem to be similar in functionality to one of the older Thermomix models. Not quite as powerful and a few less bells and whistles but with a $1,000 price differential, there'd have to be significant differences for me to justify spending the extra amount on a product bound for domestic use.

Has anyone had any experience using Thermochef? Any comments?
