Second-hand thermomix TM6 or TM5: Tips for buying one

Preparing a second-hand thermomix TM6 or TM5:Tips for buying one

1. The problem with buying a second-hand thermomix is​​knowing that it is not a scam(the internet is full of them),or knowing that the appliance is in good condition.
2. We must always keep in mind if we do not know the seller that the networks are full of unscrupulous people and there have been cases of scams where they never give you the machine once you have paid.
3. never trust an advertisement in a Facebook group–you don’t know the person on the other end and in order to make a transaction,someone will have to take the first step or send the money before or send the machine before(and nobody has the security that the other person will send the compensation),there have been many cases of“scams”through social networks,he thinks that the“bad guys”are on the lookout for everything
4. always use a medium where a solvent company is involved in controlling the transaction,that you receive the machine,but that the seller does not have the money until you give the ok that everything is correct and the company acts as guarantor for both parties.a good example of this is Wallapop.
5. use social networks to contact only but requires using one of these means to make the sale even if it could carry some more cost(which does not usually carry it because the prices of these platforms are very good for the seller and free for the buyer)
6. buy in second-hand physical stores(they are not always found)but if so,you could have a certain guarantee.

buy through an authorized thermomix seller

1. Another thing that can be done with a little more reliability is to contact an authorized thermomix seller in your area.
2. as such,the thermomix vendors do not sell second-hand,only new,but it could be that one of their clients wanted to buy a TM6 and she herself offers you the one her client had(although it is not 100%reliable because we do not know the people)is much more reliable since they all have names and surnames and do not disappear,so you should not have problems(it can also give you service during the useful life of your new purchase)
3. as well as make a demonstration and learning of it
4. When buying a second-hand thermomix,it is clear that we do not have any type of guarantee when we do it between individuals

essential to ask

1. the purchase invoice
2. the serial number of the thermomix
3. these 2 things will tell us that we are not dealing with a stolen product
4. the first(it could be that I have lost it,although it is better that I have it),the second if they do not want to give it to us,it is a reason to withdraw from the operation

What should we look for when buying a second-hand thermomix

1. The first thing that the most sensitive parts of a thermomix are in good condition and that all its components are included
2. We must see that they are in good condition:
3. the wire
4. the lid and the gasket(that perfectly closes the thermomix)
5. the scale(it is one of the things that fail the most,it is important that it weighs correctly)
6. test speeds,temperatures…
7. and above all try blades that cut well(crushing some ice will be a good test)
8. check that they give us the
