Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

[Cynicor]

Dyson is the Bose of vacuum cleaners.

Overpriced, overhyped and underperforming? Or do you like BOSE (buy other sound equipment)?

 

[opusman]

buy other sound equipment

Indeed I did

The Dualit arrived this morning

What? It can deliver high quality music as well as cleaning?

About as well as Bose can, now that you mention it.

The Dualit arrived this morning

Well that was quick!

 

[Pushka]

Mmm. Have never seen dualit before and just today at Costco

What is that phenomenon called again?

I'll stick with my Breville; it does good toast.

Toaster? In Perth lately, we just peg the bread to the washing line for a few minutes and voilla, toast

Meanwhile in the UK......... I'm sitting here feeling a wee bit chilly :mrgreen:

Yes it was 44 degrees Celsius when I hopped into my car to drive home. Perth has some hot dry weather and folks without air conditioners would be having trouble sleeping.

Re: The totally off-topic thread

Thermomix? I think you either love 'em or just scratch your head wondering why? I scratch.

Had mine for about 2 years now and love it

That was Adelaide in November and December. Awful. But January - Feb has been mild - mostly between 30 - 36 and this week outright cool. About to change Monday though.

This is a bit scary. I was looking into buying one but for all that money, I think I'll stick to conventional methods!

I bit the bullet and ordered the smallest model of these spiral dough mixers on Friday - my little Kenwood has been struggling with the amount of dough I have been making and I've never been able to produce a "clear" dough with it. It has done the job for pizza but it doesn't cut it for bread. (hand kneading 2-4kgs of dough is beyond me)

Do any AFFers regularly bake bread? (I want to better utilise the retained heat in my WFO)

My bank has been struggling with the amount of dough I have been making. Seriously, I make bread, enjoy doing it and the product is pretty good.

As long as you aren't laundering that dough...

It would have to be a coin operated laundry. The amount is so small.
