Thermocook
Nothing says time saver better than a 20-in-1 cooking appliance. You heard that right, the Thermocook can do what a $2,600 Thermomix can (from smoothies to snacks to dinners) but at a third of the price. This one is worth saving for if you spend a lot of time making meals for your family.
