Cheap basket
Having been a Thermomix user for 15 years, I found the quality of the basket to be thin and cheap feeling. It also is totally unnecessary to have a lid on it. I have taken the lid off. What is the point of it?

Hi Mary Clare, thanks for your review. The lid is necessary as a safety feature to avoid overfilling the basket and in turn blocking the hole where steam escapes from the lid. If you'd like some further support please let us know or reach out to your consultant who'd be more than happy to help.
