Title: Do you have a Magic Bullet AND a Thermomix?
Post by: krismakes on September 05, 2013, 02:03:44 am

Does anyone own both?  I love my TM and use it lots but sometimes I just want to wizz a small amount (like a single serve of something) and I wonder whether it would be worth getting a magic bullet for these times? 

I know it seems excessive to want another gizmo but there is only two of us and DP doesn't always want to share in my "hippy" food, plus I don't/can't always put leftovers in the fridge as they'll lose their nutrients if you know what I mean?

Would love some opinions please, especially those that own both! Also what are the things you use the MB for mostly rather than the TM?

Thanks :)

I still have a small Sunbeam wizz thing but never use it. I find it just as easy to do it in the tmx and then give the bowl a quick rinse.
Hopefully someone has one and can give you good feedback.

I never use my tiny wizz thing either cookie, the TMX is just so easy to rinse out.

I have both, but honestly...have used the bullet once since I had my TM. And that was only cuz the TM was in use. Would just use the TM, even for one portion.  :)

I used a MB knock off from Big W in the "olden" days. Good product. Don't use it anymore though, but it's still sitting in the cupboard for just-in-case days.

I use the mini magimix quite often actually

I tend to use for chopping nuts over the TM, as I pulse & can see exactly how chopped they are, instead of opening the lid to find nut meal  :P....also often for breadcrumbs if TM is not going to  be used, as its quicker to rinse & dry.
I also find it does a better job of small quantities, which I can see its progress.
