I have used it for the first time and made spaghetti sauce, I’m really pleased with results after following the recipe. I will be using it as often as I can, I can’t believe the way it prepares then cooks

I bought this less than 3 weeks ago and have used it for breakfasts, snacks, lunches and dinners! I love to cook and have found it to be easy to use and clean!

Finally a product that beats the Thermomix TM6 in every way. After the constant frustration of the Thermomix, I finally found a machine that doesn’t just replace it but improves on it in every way. Especially when it comes to reliability, built quality and not simply shredding the food and turning everything into baby food texture like the Thermomix does. This machine actually makes adult food and can lend a hand do a seasoned cook like myself. I also have the KitcheAid Cook Processor which I also overall preferred to the Thermomix. Some observations about the new Tefal I-Companion XL in comparison to my other machines I own that might help others decide: * amazing built quality. This extends to each and every accessory and part included. * extremely quiet * everything seems to run much smoother. * MUCH gentler on food than the TM6 and even gentler than the KitchenAid Cook Processor with Stir assist. Food doesn’t disintegrate as much. * Best lid design I have encountered with this type of appliance. * wider pot is great to use. * probably the easiest machine to clean. * having the lid attached to the pot on the KitchenAid cook processor was more convenient. * no hotspots while cooking at higher temperature. If you are in two minds I say buy one. You won’t regret it and will realise this is a solid investment!
