Title: Karen's Poll - where are you from???
Post by: Thermomixer on December 13, 2008, 03:05:04 am
Hi Karen - I hope the poll will make it easier for voters.  Think that I have covered a reasonable amount of bases.

Let me know what you think, let me know if there are other countries/states that should be added.

Yes, it was a great trip.  I took our eldest who has just finished high school.  It was a bribe that we suggested to her some years ago - a trip to Europe instead of going to schoolies.  We forgot about it, but she didn't!
Title: Re: Karen's Poll - where are you from???
Post by: cookie1 on December 18, 2008, 01:37:49 am
I think that was a wise thing to do Amanda.  We did a similar thing 10 years ago for our daughter, though it wasn't Europe. Saves everyone a lot of worry and daughters being put into situations that they may or may not be ready to handle.

How about others just quickly ticking the boxes above to say where you come from please?

Hi Meganjane.  I think we're the home of thermomix here is WA.  It certainly seems it from the number of people who turn up at classes. Welcome.

Yeah, if you want to call it a website...  Just doesn't make sense to me.  Must be some reason they don't want to market here.

Ohhh I think it is time this had a bump! After being on holidays for a couple of weeks and a couple of business trips thrown in before and after it is ages since I have popped in to say hello! There appears to be LOTS of new people around and I would love to see Karen's hard work put to use. (shh also know that WA is still going to be the highest % lol!!) :P

It helps that we can actually *buy* them! I must admit I'm not yet grasping the Vorwerk's business strategy of keeping the Thermomix a secret! *g*

Maybe they can't keep up with the demand in Europe so don't want too many orders from elsewhere.  Just a thought but probably wrong. :P :P :P :P

Think they want to sell lots - there are lots of little incentives to sell out their at present. 
Title: Re: Karen's Poll - where are you from???
Post by: MrSpock on May 15, 2009, 07:03:08 pm
Unfortunately at the current price, I don't see it coming out of the niche market of restaurants and "dinks" (double income no kids). When I tell people how much I paid for my new "toy", everyone is looking at me funny. What's more frustrating is that it's perfectly OK to buy a big screen TV for the same price, but for a kitchen appliance that will save you some effort, it's unacceptable. I hate those double standards!

PS: I don't know how "by the book" we are here for out of topic conversations, so I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any rules!

mr spock, i posted soemthing similar on my blog when the price went up here a few months ago! bad time for it to go up.  i guess consultants have really got to push the cost savings to offset the price.

mr spock, i posted soemthing similar on my blog when the price went up here a few months ago! bad time for it to go up.  i guess consultants have really got to push the cost savings to offset the price.

But I'm not seeing that either! With all my fancy French recipes my grocery bill actually went UP! Don't get me wrong, I love my TMX, but cost saving is not the point I would use to sell it to my friends. Then again, I only had it a couple of weeks, so I have much to learn I guess :)

It might be that fresh produces are much more expensive than nasty prepared food here in Canada, since we have local produces just a few months a year...
Title: Re: Karen's Poll - where are you from???

no fancy french cuisine in my house ;)

ROFL no fancy cuisine in my house either....think you might be onto something with the local produces and the price perhaps. You will just have to think of all the time it saves you instead!  ;)
Title: Re: Karen's Poll - where are you from???
Post by: judydawn on May 16, 2009, 03:03:52 am
Even at the demo, my consultant asked me whether I thought I would save money by buying the TMX and I immediately said no, because I would be trying all sorts of different things which I was not eating or drinking before.  eg making my own orange juice.  Oranges are reasonably expensive just to juice and, pre-TMX, I never bought orange juice, just the odd orange to eat as a piece of fruit.  Now I have to buy whole bags full :D  I never bought dips but now I am buying ingredients to make them occasionally and so the list goes on.  BUT it is a whole new way of life in my kitchen (I have always loved being in there) and you just want to use it more and more and try different things.  We hardly ever go out for a meal nowadays. I haven't even bothered to get the 2009/2010 Entertainment Book (Aussies will know what this is, others - it is a book of vouchers for 2 for the price of 1 meals).  I find the cooler weather is ideal for cooking meals in the TMX - during our hot summers here it probably gets used more for desserts and drinks rather than main courses when we just want to have BBQ's and salads.

Well I have to add, that I DO save a huge amount on my weekly shopping, since I have had THX my weekly shopping bill has reduced to half. 6 months ago my average weekly shop was 200€ and now its 100€, that is a huge saving for me! As you can imagine, with 3 very hungry kids, I am elated and now with the Washing Goo, its fantastic! I think the difference is that now I use up all leftovers of fruit or veg or anything really and knock something up, hence soup or ice-cream ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) And my freezer is absolutely chocca!!!

Okey day, Unconundrum! I voted for the USA. I do spend some time in Hong Kong, but my Thermomix is in the US.

Might have to find one for Hong Kong, too. I see no one is from there. Does anyone know if there is a dealer in Hong Kong?

I am from Cape Town South Africa and clicked on Africa - perhaps you could add South Africa as 100 machines have been sold here now and I am sure people are logging on and reading the forum. I think I have read every recipe and will post some of my own at a later date.
Africa is a continent not a country so as people ask the countries could be added - at present I think South Africa is the only Sub Saharan country selling TM.

Strange that there are only 8 from the UK - do they have an alternate forum or outlet?

Not that I'm aware of, this appears to be the only dedicated english language forum for thermomix...could be wrong but I haven't found any other one. I'm UK too and voted.  ;)

Johnro I have been keeping tabs of where people are from and of late we have been trying to verse state upon state (ha ha, thats good and I'm still going to do that), and to be truthful although I would love "our little aliens" to be ever dominating I would really like to see how the forum "pans out" in terms of WORLDWIDE people power. I hope that there are a few Worldwide Lurkers out there who would like to join the forum, but don't join if you are a Worldwide Spammer..mn not good...

I include a link to this forum in every e-mail I send to prospective purchasers I think they perhaps find "joining" a difficult thing to do! I don't log on as often as I used to but I really appreciate the recipe book comments section. I have your new EDCB and read the review on the Beef Stroganoff so didn't use the sherry vinegar - still prefer the one in the old book.
