Think it looks great, and the price is quite amazing, considering the overinflated TM price tag.

Unless it is 8x better - is it?


Think might get to Target on a Saturday. I never considered purchasing TM, thinking it a gimmic, but at this price tag, I don't mind a gimmic.

I've been saving for a Thermie for a few months now. I would never have considered a Thermochef so prob won't consider this one. It's interesting though and I will have a look

Okay, have just googled more and found threads about it on a Thermomix forum and they were sharing the dodginess of the recipe book.

Do a quick google search to find the thread. Not sure if I am allowed to post it?

The recipe book does sound a bit dodgy. It wouldn't stop me trying the Bellini though, for such a price even if it is half as good as a thermomix, it would be worth it.

How long before the thermomix price comes down, I wonder? If the Bellini is any good at all, they won't be able to compete.

I will go read your thread now!

It's obviously not going to be as good as the thermomix but at a fraction of the price it's a great alternative for those who can't afford a tmx (or don't want to spend $2k on an appliance)

I'm currently borrowing a friends tmx and it is great but it's not saving me money like many people say as I don't normally buy a lot of processed food, what it does save me is time which is handy.

I think I may lay by one, the recipe book thing doesn't bother me as I'm not normally a big recipe follower and find if you're already quite confident with your cooking your normal recipes are easily adapted for the tmx (or Bellini)

i could never (in the forseeable future) afford a TMX. They are awesome, my friend is a sales rep, but I just cant justify $2k.

To have something do similar (even if not all the bells and wistles of a TMX) at a tenth of the price is a big thumbs up from me.

would love to have a propper look at one...

Well considering I would never pay the same amount for a kitcehn applicance as you can on a car I'm never buying a Thermomix. But $250 for something just the same I'd give it a try.

The Thermomix is made in France by skilled workers paid a decent wage. I wonder what conditions the Bellini is made under in China?
