  • better sound insulation. - it is noisy! even when just on a slow speed
    • ability to adjust volume on the end of time alarm - I dont need the alarm to be screamingly loud - maybe they could have a graduated alarm which starts soft and then gets progressivly louder
    • ability to stop fine particle of rice flour etc comming out the top - I dont want to HAVE to use a bowl - I want it to do the job properly

    But at the end of all this I would like to say how happy I am to be an owner of such a magnificent machine.

    I also like the idea of the CD for the recipies. ..... maybe in fantasy land there can be a voice telling me what to do next.   lol    that could well lead to a nightmare I think.

I agree with much already posted
 - the alarm, very annoying
 - the sensitivity of the scales
 - being able to use as a timer when not stirring etc
 - customer service

But having said that I hope there is no new machine in the near future!  DH wouldn't cope lol

Agree with Narelle.  I hope there is no new machine in the near future. I would hate to think that there was a TMX that could do more things than the one I own.

The beeping going on is a nuisance. No-one that is near it ever thinks to turn it off. I have to run in from the clothes line etc. :-\

Ohhh.... I heard every 10 years so based on that we'd be up for the next one in (checking flip chart to make sure my memory is still working....) 2015.

I think they're all good ideas!

The alarm at the end is definitely the worst thing. Perhaps it could turn off or go soft after a minute. Sometimes I don't want to get straight up and turn it off but the noise will not allow me to leave it.

Cookie crawls off the floor after being resuscitated on hearing the shock of her Termite won't be replaced until about 2015. This one will be worn out by then. I'd better start saving for the replacement.

I think that the annoying beep is good  :o :o :o :o  - you have to respond - so there is no way of forgetting.

Agree! There are some things which just shouldn't be left there (ie risotto!!)  :-))  :P

Narelle,

I noticed you said the customer service was something you would like improved.

Is this with head office or your particuolar consultant?

Cheers,

Spanner.

I would love to see the new brush included from the beginning.

I'm quite happy with mine, beeping noise and all but yes, I agree with the above - cleaning aids should be included with the TMX.  With the beep, if it turns off I could quite easily forget about it like I do the washing machine - even though cooking is far more exciting than hanging out washing  :-)) :-)) :-))

Not even with the next model - but now, it would be good to have TMX worldwide have inserts/bowls/moulds to fit the Varoma.

I made a little platform to enable the machine to hold extra dariole moulds - it would be good to have the moulds and an insert the holds say 8 that could be placed in the Varoma in place of the tray for some dishes?

Pictures of what I mean are on the Italian forum- in English (it's the pictures anyway)

Do you have to be logged in to see those pictures Thermomixer?  All I got was the log in box. ??? ???  Like the sound of your suggestion though - made to measure containers, dishes etc would be a great seller one would think. Oh, the money making ideas that are out there - if only someone would take them up.
