badly nicked

As many years owner of a TM 31 Vorwerk course I was thrilled to test an imitator to see what the others are doing (better). Unfortunately in this case, nothing at all! At first glance, the interested customer believes to have found a now more than 50% cheaper alternative to the TM. This is not true, then even if James has many features of the TM, it lacks some partly very crucial points that could cause the over-expenditure for the original Vorwerk my opinion clearly worthwhile. Entscheinden yourself:

- NOT in the dishwasher: The lower part of Mixtopfes should not be immersed in water !!! How should the mixing bowl are then cleaned well after I've made it for example. Bread dough or Datteldip? Accordingly, the bonded Mixtopf not allowed in the dishwasher, which already had a knock-out criterion for me, because this device is to facilitate my kitchen yes! When TM may all parts in the dishwasher!

- Lack of balance: the TM has an integrated scale including tare function, so that I can sequentially Weigh IN mixing bowl all the ingredients and not need a separate device.. This lack James completely.

- Missing Teigknetfunktion: My magic Kesselchen has a (bread) Teigknetfunktion that the kneading yeast doughs specially very good because it lifts by alternating forward and reverse more air into the batter and make a go of the dough so unnecessary. This brings me directly to the next Minus:

- Lack of counter-clockwise rotation function: It lacks the function, the blades in the opposite direction, ie to let the unarmed side forward run. What it is for, will find anyone who Bolognese sauce makes it even. The cutter will make your mince porridge or puree - very ugly!

- Size: the mixing bowl holds only 1.5 L, which both preparation of certain quantities can be quickly problematic finally can the pot, depending on the preparation, do not make the brim.

- The cutting unit: It is hingewisen repeatedly that the diameter of the cutting unit are very sharp! That also seems to be logical, just what happens when this sharpness wears off? Puree a few deep frozen fruit to make ice and sharpness will subside. Therefore, the TM will not work on the sharpness of the blade, but on the strength or speed of the motor, which is why he has over 50% more turns than James. This difference might be interesting after a few years!

- Insufficient temperature levels: As the temperature is not freely selectable (the TM may not), I need different gradations on the preparation / processing of certain dishes. Of James has too few (4), my has twice as many, which can be decisive in case of doubt.

- Recipes: Derlei food processors have the advantage that they offer something for everybody! Koch fetishists can simplify things and cooking Legasteniker suddenly can conjure great things. The latter, however, only if they have an adequate selection of recipes that guides you step by step through the preparation. James Page is indeed wonderfully upbeat in design, but not exactly practical. I get, no matter what ingredients I enter in the search box, always display the same thing. Are there any ingredients search? On the TM side are more than 30,000 recipes that enthusiastic users have set, I doubt that there will ever like here, ultimately for lack of enthusiasm.

I'm almost a little sorry that I write here so negative about James, because it would certainly have been interesting if Vorwerk could even get a serious competitors, but it Severin is with this unit far away! Of course I understand if someone does not want to spend so much double, notice the difference for a supposedly similar device, but you will ...
