How long have you had your TMX/TC?
« on: January 18, 2012, 01:43:01 am »
Hi all, just wondering how long these wonderful machines last? How long have you had yours, and has it required any maintenance/repairs in that time?
Might also be a useful thread for those who are contemplating buying one.

Deedub, I have had mine for 3 years and 3 months and have only had to have it taken away once whilst still under the 2 year warranty. As long as there are spare parts available for this model, you can expect it to last a very long time.  Somewhere on the forum, someone said they were still using theirs produced in the 80's - a much more basic model but it speaks highly of the quality of these machines.

I have had mine for 12 months, No problems here at all. I also have a second bowl and blade set and they get used pretty much every day and I cook for a family of 7.

No problems and I'm going into my third year. The extra bowl is great, and I'm getting ready to get another bowl so I have 3 bowls to play with.

I have had thermie working flat out for just over a year cooking for a family of 5 including three teenagers. Still absolutely awestruck by what it can do. And now I'm getting a second bowl. Happy happy happy!!!

I bought my Thermo chef about a month ago. I'm really loving it and using it constantly. Today I've made bread rolls, strawberry jam, smoothies and a creamy spinach pasta sauce for dinner. I'm having a ball trying new things all the time. I can see myself getting lots of use out of it. I haven't used my mixmaster or food processor since I got it. The only other appliance I have used is my stab mixer to beat up a small amount of cream.
