James, the butler - James, the Wonder Machine ..

To say it straight away, James is not like James.
And if you're looking for an all-butler for balanced cuisine, then you will not be able to avoid a comparison with the Thermomix by Vorwerk.
And from a practical perspective wins the TM5 also the direct duel with the KM3895. Also relatively new is the multifunction food processor "HP5031 Prep & Cook" by Krups, which we do not ourselves have in use and in this comparison for good reason also sidelined.
When it comes to price / performance, however, is the Wonder Machine Severin significantly forward.

We had long been toying with the idea to create us a Thermomix. And had luck. For even when we had made our choice, just the new model TM5 came on the market - for many years was the TM31 the current model. Such a long life cycle speaks for the product. And at a price beyond the Euro 1000, - will be carefully considered investment.
And so we now have the TM5 in everyday use, and are very happy with it.
However, the acquisition designed as a bit complicated, because the Thermomix kitchen machines can only have so-called representatives (usually it is a representative) to buy.

When Severin KM3895 James the Wonder Machine All-in-one food processor, the design much easier. We ordered the food processor simply (or pick you up at the factory sales - see below), and saving in comparison to the reference product the same time more than half the price. And that's an important point that you should never neglect.

The Kitchen Butler "James" has received in 2015, the "Plus X Award" in the following categories:
High quality, design, ease of use and functionality.

We really liked the included cotton bag in "James" design. We now have when shopping also there and can increasingly do without plastic bags. That's a good idea of ​​Severin for sustainable environmental protection - little effort (the pocket is a dime-products) and many benefits. Exemplary.

Not so good we like the included accessories made of plastic, which does not necessarily leaves a quality impression. We like to convince them otherwise, will use the equipment diligently and hope for a long life. In a direct comparison here scores the Thermomix.

"I'm James - You do not need more" is a slogan of this food processor. That would be too good to be true. And let's face it: when we bought the Thermomix TM5, we kept our other kitchen appliances are all natural. We look at both the "All-in-one" stand mixer Severin KM3895 and the TM5 as a useful supplement that completes the kitchen budget, if necessary. And if you have the space for it in the kitchen, and the space you have, then you will use the multi-function food processors also an almost daily basis, and possibly come. Then the rest of the kitchen appliances less used because the KM3895 (and TM5) covers a wide variety of purposes.

Applications - all-in-one: simple chopping, steaming healthy, energy-saving stirring and beating and kneading, mixing (eg cocktails.) And mixing and of course cooking .. ;-).

The KM3895 has 5 power levels (incl. A turbo level) and 4 temperature levels and thus covers a wide range of applications from a.

Equipment and processing: the blades used are stainless steel, the engine could use a little more power tolerated. For this, the display is easy to read (unfortunately missing when cooking the temperature display - why?), The control buttons are valuable and the safety lock, including automatic shut-off of the usual standard.

We liked also that the Severin KM3895 is easy to clean. The individual components can be easily apart or put together. In our view, a not at all to be underestimated advantage to use the food processor also daily with much joy. If this were not so, and the cleaning costs too high, then this would mean relatively quickly lose the fun of cooking.

But the KM3895 supports not just great when cooking, also drinks and cocktails can be in no time to prepare - a little tip for your next party with many guests.

Creativity knows no limits, incidentally. The (still expandable) recipes form the central theme, and this one can be geared wonderful. But those who like to try, can develop creative here also.

Practically, we have tried the usual for a family meals, and are satisfied with the result. As we have already gained experience with the TM5, the entry was an easy or easier. Generally we try for cooking to take corresponding time - which can be in everyday life, of course not always translate. But from our perspective, it is a multi-function food processor and not a fast-food maker.
Could you optimize the size of the mounted pot, which is with 1,5l not really family friendly. Less is Sometimes More.

The KM3895 Severin is supply a small cookbook with 60 recipes for - a good start in the culinary world, with room to grow. For the Thermomix There are thousands of recipes (quasi own recipe world), a variety of tailor-made cookbooks and an official app for smartphones and tablets. But somehow even the significant price difference must be justified for both food processors yes.

It's not a trick - it's not a Thermomix. But it's a Severin (German Quality) - and it's really alright.
In price / performance comparison Severin receives 4 stars, when compared with the Thermomix is ​​only 3 star. Just let decide your wallet.

PS: purse - the next Severin-factory sales take place from Monday, April 20 to Wednesday, April 22 will be 2015..
