KitchenAid Artisan Cook Processor

Not sure why there are bad reviews. I have a Thermomix TM31 for years but which is now too small for us. This one is perfect as the bowl is (way) bigger, it's easy to clean and I can do all I am able to do with my Thermomix with it. The only downside is that there are more ustensils than the TM31 so it takes more room and I couldn't choose the colour as just one was proposed (on AMZ).

Three points.You cannot clean this in the dishwasher. It’s by hand and takes time given the design of the lid and seal.Second, the machine and all the various attachments occupy an enormous amount of counter top and cupboard space. It’s a huge beast of a machineLastly it’s versatility and utility is very high. You can chop, slice, boil, steam and serve almost anything. It’s a staggering piece of kitchen excess! It’s unlikely to directly replace anything in the kitchen. But it’s ‘ all in ‘ answer to cooking is great. Wish it had a slow cooker option. It does not. Don’t try to make bread though. Even following the kitchenaid instructions... my loaf failed miserably!
