Great service Katie. Welcome home Katie's thermomix.

Just before I went overseas last year I stupidly put the jug back into position without  placing the blades and base back in.  Guess what I poured into it? Orange juice! I turned it on its side etc. straight away when I realised, but it was too late.  I rang HO and they picked it up that day and it was returned the day before I went away.  Great service and they gave me a new seal for my lid for free and a calendar.

I did something similar but with milk, about 2 months after I got my TM, it's still working 3 years later, I rang HO and they didn't seem to think it needed servicing. It rested on its back for 24 hrs.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Had some problems closing the lid and switching on... found that the ring inside the lid had perished in one small place... mended it with super glue very carefully and turned the ring around as its the same both sides.... seems OK now! The perished bit was kinking when I turned the lid so it would not turn on at all.
I have had my Thermomix around 5 years now and use it every day as a professional chef... Have had two blades 'strip' and replaced them but now have ordered a whole new bowl lid and blade etc. It's expensive bur I need it! Just wish I could get the blades repaired!!! at least I would have back up.

Katie, I have just read this thread.  Good news about your TMX - it gives me faith that if mine has to go in for service it will be quck and efficient.

There is a Melbourne office in Glen Iris, which isn't too far from us, so I am a bit more comfortable with the thought of it being transported a relatively short distance as opposed to going over to Perth.

They sell extra blades in the store on the website. I'd get some just as a spare.
