Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

Have you tried the Bickfords Coffee, great in sparkling water. It has some sugar in it and so I expect it might slush.

No I usually just buy a nice double/triple shot long black from my local coffee shop then blend with skim milk at home. The milk helps it slush.

Just looked up the syrup (as some Bickford's products now have sweeteners in them) , interestingly it has more chicory than coffee as an ingredient. not a fan of chicory. For me chicory is to coffee what carob is to chocolate = poor imitation.

Have just finished a D sized (6kg gas) Co2 cylinder after we started using the SodaTap sparkling in Dec last year

Mr Denali occasionally talks about hooking it up to a big cylinder but I ignore him

I purchased a Thermomix TM6 last month and the new TM7 was released yesterday

My consultant has advised that it is not due to land in the Australia and New Zealand market until the second half of the year but that you can register your interest.

I would. Co2 cheaper

you can register your interest.

Only need one though the cult leader consultant suggested as we have a big kitchen we should have 2 TM:

Dear Cult leader suggested that as we have a large kitchen and looks like we entertain (which we dont), we should think about getting a second one for making drinks and coughtails. Apparently you can only do so much with one

Ninja Slushi coming to my house 3/3/25

Ninja Slushi coming to my house 3/3/25

Now that winter is winding down, I dont see ours being used a lot (as we dont drink coughtails or coffee drinks) but I expect from Oct onwards Mr Denali will be enjoying it

I also note that Wolstead came out with their own. No reviews and for only $100 less (discounted price), I would stick to Ninja

Winter¿? If this is an Aussie winter, remind me not to come back during summer

Perhaps so many slushies were created that a moderately convincing winter was simulated.

You mean up...
Im not sure that we can call Sydney winters "Winter".

Anyone got one of these baby Kamados from Aldi. Any good?

Last winter was the first one in the new well insulated and double glazed house and even without putting the heat on, we found the nights warm. We're not use to first world comforts

I would be afraid of it to be honest. I would use it as far from the house as possible and approach with caution when in use. Aldi does stock some nice stuff but I dont buy their appliances beacause I dont trust its wired to aussie standards as a minimum and fire/heat plus metal worries me

No 'lectricity involved at all @Denali

Just ordered an Asko dishwasher, while there's a sale on.
Decided it's going to be better value than getting our Smeg fixed for the third time.
Interesting that all Asko dealers have to sell at the same price.

new well insulated

are your walls insulated?

 

[Denali]

are your walls insulated?

Yes, including internal walls.

I typed "fire/heat plus metal worries me". I understand the egg is a bbq and not electrical. I just dont trust Aldi electrical products and I would approach this heat fueled bbq when in use with caution
