In Germany there's plenty of Thermomix clones from groceries chains like Aldi and Lidl. Usually in the 300€ range. I own a Thermomix with the all cookbooks subscription but it's basically a glorified blender and soup maker for me these days (at least there will be plenty of pumpkin soups the next couple of month) as I usually cook with my normal equipment. I use my good old AirFryer more for example. I always wanted to add some "smart cooking" device as a BA thesis topic for our students, because it just annoys me how closed these systems are (I briefly looked into reversing the TM). I mean how much cooler would it be if I could send any recipe to a smart cooking device and it would provide the easy stepthrough system of the TM instead of just their curated ones. Honestly I have never considered how cooking must feel for the blind so that's a very interesting use case.
