I have been searching for a kitchen machine for many years, maybe 2 or 3 years. My requirements were to have only one machine, meaning only one motor on the counter, and to have all kinds of attachments to fit on it. The truth is that although it is quite expensive, as well as the attachments you buy separately, it is something else! Truly, the best purchase I have made in a device. The build quality is of professional standards. Because I wanted many extra attachments when purchasing, I spoke to the representative and understood that there is good service and spare parts for anything that may break or get damaged. Personally, I bought the version that only comes with the 3 attachments of the main bowl and ordered separately from Germany over half of the attachments, some of which are not even available in the Greek market, as confirmed by the representative. Overall, I bought:
-The main machine (1500W),
-the blender,
-the TastyMoments set with the 2 mills (chopping/grinding) + the glass for making smoothies,
-the VeggieLove Plus set with the large multi with a blade, 3 discs, and a lemon squeezer,
-an extra disc for slicing in large strips (for potatoes, cucumbers, etc.) [not available in Greece],
-the ice cream maker that goes in place of the main bowl [not available in Greece],
-an extra plastic bowl to leave the dough aside and put it back on top for quick rising, to work on other mixtures while it rises again,
-another extra disc (called SuperCut) for medium zig-zag slices (for pickles, salads, boiled vegetables, etc.),
-a spare part from the representative for the black continuous cutting attachment, I didn't buy the whole set (the plain VeggieLove, not the Plus) because I already had the discs from the other set, the Plus, or the ones I bought separately, so I paid half the price,
-a Bosch bag for the discs from the representative.
-In the future, I may also get the adapter for horizontal attachments and add the conical slicer or the meat grinder, but for now, I don't need them.
I am very satisfied, I have used them all. I will only mention one tip regarding the cutting discs that are for slicing (meaning for slices or the one for strips). There must be a continuous flow, for example, potatoes or vegetables or whatever we put in, meaning there shouldn't be any gaps, we put it in the chute from the top and as it goes down, we put the next one exactly on top. The reason is that Bosch, probably for our hand safety, has placed the disc lower than where the chute ends, resulting in always having 1 to 1.5cm of food that is not sliced and rotates around with the disc, which means it hits right-left as it rotates from the torque it has together with the stuck vegetable. Exactly when we see it finishing, we turn off the switch and don't let it hit the plastic. While it is cutting, of course, nothing like that happens. What remains, we either chop it with a knife or throw it away because it is usually deformed. Also, in the blender, if we want to blend in empty air, we remove the measuring cup, press the elastic lid, and place it back and let the lid return upwards. It is a very good machine, I believe it is intended only for those who are seriously involved in the kitchen, especially if someone also gets the accessories, all of them together take up a lot of space, although it replaces almost any other machine we have, but one will have to read several instructions (each accessory has its own book), one must be careful with the speeds (each accessory and each disc has its own limits) and in general, it requires a little learning with the accessories and what goes with what, because if you get many accessories, you will easily end up dealing with lego during washing. There are many pieces that each accessory has when disassembled, especially the VeggieLove. And it also requires a lot of attention on how to handle them. Bosch provides some protective covers for the mills and blades, but I saw that with the covers they do not clean well in the dishwasher, so we put them in plain. I hope I helped.
