Is the Monsieur Cuisine Connect worth buying?
The multi-cooker from Monsieur Cuisine offers a large part of the functions that are similar in the expensive competition from Vorwerk are to be found. But it is also clear that the higher price of the Thermomix is justified by more choice. However, if you are satisfied with something less at a much lower price, you should take a closer look at what Lidl has to offer. Even cheaper is the Krups CZ7101 Cook4Me+, which is available on Amazon for less than half the price (check it out on Amazon). But he can also do a lot less.
