    this is another beautiful example of how ALL devices are currently designed...
    2 years and thank you - you have to buy NEW ones - no matter how intensively they were used... the equipment is bound to break down immediately after the warranty. If the life cycle of a device was too long, factories would go bankrupt...
    As you can see, it`s not about too intensive use but, as a result, wear and tear of the equipment...
    The problem here is the materials deliberately used - calculated so that degradation occurs just over two years after purchasing the device.

    The EU is starting to become interested in this problem. https://radcaprawny.kirp.pl/archiwum/praktyka/prawo-do-naprawy-fakt-czy-iluzja/ ...We will wait and see how it will be in practice.

    I have had it for 15 years - it works flawlessly (except for the seal under the cover) BUT recently I have noticed that sometimes there is no "contact" on the speed switch, especially in position 10 - anyone??

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the Thermomix TM6 and issues related to the mixing knife wearing out prematurely, leading to leaks from the mixing bowl. The original poster expresses concern about the knife's durability, noting that their device is only 2.5 years old and out of warranty, while friends with older models have not faced similar issues for 6-7 years. Participants discuss warranty limitations, with the standard being 24 months, and share experiences with older models like TM21 and TM31, which reportedly had longer-lasting knives. There is skepticism about the effectiveness of the ice-crushing method for sharpening the knife, with some asserting it may actually contribute to wear. The conversation also touches on the perceived decline in product quality over time and the challenges of obtaining spare parts for older models.
