Termomix TM6 - worn mixing knife, causing leakage from the mixing bowl.

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.
