Firstly, I’d like to say how wonderful and easy the cutter is to use, no complaints there! However, the shaft is a different matter! It seems to have a design fault as this shaft doesn’t last, I was grating cheese and the cutter made a different noise, upon investigating, I found the base of the shaft still attached to the blade and the top was in the bowl. Very disappointing for something that costs so much has a part that keeps breaking, (reading the other reviews this seems to be common). Please fix this shaft as I love my cutter but can’t keep replacing this part.

replaced part i accidently destroyed as left it in thermomix !

I find the cutter (as a whole) very handy, a time saver and a 'wrist saver'.

I have carpal tunnel and can sometimes find it difficult at night to be doing anything fine-motor with my hands, so using the cutter has been wonderful.

Another plus is the price of the replacement parts -ie. driveshaft.

Recently moved house and with so many people helping my old driveshaft couldn't be found at the new house. Nice and cheap to get another one :)

I love the grater and slicer, does a great job. However the shaft does not last. I was grating 200gm cheese got half way and I heard a noise. Lifted the grater from the bowl to find the shaft had broken in two. The bottom half still attached to the blade, this is very disappointing!
