Title: Transparent varoma - ebay.
Post by: dyljon on March 08, 2011, 11:49:52 pm
Has anyone seen these so-called "transparent" varomas on ebay - there are a few TM 31s on sale there with them, but to me they look like a stainless steel varoma dish. Looks much better than the plastic ones I must say. Wonder if you'll be able to purchase them individually?

Do you mean this posting dyljon http://shop.ebay.com.au/i.html?_nkw=thermomix+tm+31.

Maybe they just mean the lid as I've never heard of the whole varoma being transparent.

Here's a discussion re stainless steel varomas for the TM21 http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2896.0.

Haven't heard of transparent varomas - but the TM21 had a stainless steel one.

Well, they do say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but gee, that's just a bit cheeky isn't it.

It's all getting a bit frustrating for me with ebay I'm afraid.  There's someone in Germany perporting to be in Melbourne selling brand new TM's & claiming to have warranties - which is patently false.

The "transparent" Varomas are merely the current ones while the SS ones are the ones which preceded these & leaked like crazy which is why they were replaced about 3 years ago...........

OK - so the ones with stainless steel varomas in the photos which are from Spain are the old models then by the sound of it. It's a shame they leaked as they look much better.

JaneeZee - it's always a case of buyer beware on ebay isn't it. I'm looking for a ghd hair straightener atm and the number of fakes on there is frightening - they look identical, it isn't till you check the serial numbers on the actual ghd site that you can tell. So many people get caught out, thinking they've snagged a bargain...

there is going to be something on the health risk of hair straighteners tonight I think on Today Tonight (if you are from WA).
