It's a great mix between full automation and manual cooking. Very impressed with the power of the machine and how easy it is to use.

I have been deciding between the Kitchen Aid and Thermomix. I find the Kitchen Aid better at food processing and mixing due the the wider base bowl. The result is more consistent and does not get caught on the sides as much.

A little tricky to get used to, but once you do it's fantastic. Since my Cook Processor arrived I've not used anything else to cook meals. A big plus for me is the blade attachments are easy to change and remove. The stir assist means meals have texture and don't become mushy. I'm disabled and find meal preparation and cooking difficult, especially if there is a lot of chopping and stirring involved and the Cook Processor makes it so easy for me and means I'm enjoying pain free cooking.
