Terrible product

Terrible product - broke after 3 uses. No replacement parts or replacement product offered. Told the warranty has expired - 10 months old but only used 3 times. Dealing with their customer service is like banging your head against a brick wall. They just send the same email offering you a discount on a replacement. Buyer beware

Game changer.

So pleased to receive my utensil for scooping out food from Thermomix bowl.
It’s made of very strong material and is easy to use, ensuring food is removed safely.
No more tricky manoeuvres with weak spatulas or getting fingers too close to sharp blades.

I would NOT recommend the Smart Slicer…

I would NOT recommend the Smart Slicer nor Culinary Family as a company. Whilst the Smart Slicer seems like a good idea, the one we ordered broke after 3 uses. We contacted Culinary Family about their product breaking and they advised that the warranty had exceeded and therefore they were unable to replace the product nor provide any assistance. Their warranty is 30 days which is completely unreasonable given the high price. Since then, Culinary Family have ignored our emails and we have been put into a situation where we either just accept and lose $159 for a product that was used twice successfully (over a 4 month period) or to contact the Australian Department of Fair Trading. We ended up contacting the Department of Fair Trading, however Culinary Family have also ignored them and because Culinary Family are not an Australian company there is little that can be done. In my opinion, Culinary Family have acted dishonestly and dishonourably by providing a low quality product for a high price and then very little customer service despite reporting on their website that they provide 24/7 customer support. From the other reviews, it is clear we are not the only family who have been treated in this exact manner. It is a terrible way to conduct business. We are truly disappointed as we bought the Smart Slicer in good faith.

Dear Lauren Chaitow,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for bringing your concerns to our attention. We’re deeply sorry to hear about your disappointment with your SmartSlicer and the challenges you’ve faced. At Culinary Family, our mission is to ensure that our customers have a positive experience with both our products and our service, and we regret that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

We are proud to share that over 7,000 customers are enjoying the SmartSlicer, which has been designed to make kitchen tasks quicker and easier. While the original version of the SmartSlicer was a high-quality product, we did receive feedback about a handful of issues. In response, we launched a new version just a few weeks ago that is three times more durable and refined, taking into account valuable input from customers like yourself.

Our warranty policy provides 30 days of coverage for any manufacturing defects or breakage, ensuring peace of mind for our customers. However, products purchased during promotional periods are not eligible for refunds, as these offers provide the absolute best prices we can extend. This policy is clearly outlined in our terms and conditions to ensure transparency.

We also understand your frustration with the delays in response times. Over the past few months, we’ve experienced an exceptionally high demand, which temporarily affected our ability to respond as promptly as we strive to. To address this, we’ve restructured our customer service team, and we are now fully up-to-date and ready to assist you efficiently.

We’d like to make things right for you and believe we’ve found an exceptional solution to resolve your concerns. Please contact us at info@culinary-family.com, and we’ll be happy to discuss this resolution with you in detail. Your satisfaction is incredibly important to us, and we’re committed to ensuring you feel valued as one of our customers.

Thank you again for your feedback, Lauren. We’re here to support you and look forward to the opportunity to turn your experience around.

Warm regards,
The Culinary Family Team

I was so disappointed I wished I hadn’t bought it very flimsy, and the service in delivering was terrible 3 weeks it took a week to travel 40 kms. If I had known it was from china I could have bought cheaper from Temu and received it quicker,
Hope it performs okay

Dear Jean Yessayan,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly regret any inconvenience caused by the delivery time and appreciate your patience throughout this process. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we constantly strive to improve our service.

At Culinary Family, we deliver from warehouses in Australia and New Zealand to ensure quick service. However, due to an unexpectedly high demand, these warehouses faced temporary stock shortages. To ensure you received your order, we shipped from our warehouse in China. We recognize that this led to longer delivery times, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. As a token of appreciation for your understanding, we included a complimentary surprise accessory valued at $40 in your package.

Regarding your comparison to Temu, we would like to highlight that we focus on delivering premium-quality products, designed to offer durability and performance that exceeds expectations. By choosing Culinary Family, you opted for superior quality, and we thank you for trusting us to meet your needs.

To further enhance your experience, we’d like to invite you to contact us at info@culinary-family.com. We would be delighted to provide you with a comprehensive user guide for your SmartSlicer, along with 10 bonus recipes to help you make the most of your purchase. Additionally, we’d love to offer you 30% off your next order as a thank-you for sharing your feedback and supporting our mission.

Thank you again for your trust, Jean. We’re here to ensure you continue to enjoy the Culinary Family experience to the fullest.

Warm regards,
The Culinary Family Team

Poor customer service

Within one hour of ordering I realised this was NOT a genuine Thermomix product and requested my order be cancelled. I was told the order couldn’t be cancelled. (I use a product distribution warehouse myself so know this is false). Culinary Family then stated “You must therefore wait to receive it and send it back to us if you do not wish to keep it.” I thought this was good service until I asked how I return the product. They then said they won’t allow a return because the product had $50 off, and offered me 30% off. They come across polite in their emails but all they do is cite small print conditions. They could have immediately cancelled my order and I would have rated them highly and been inclined to buy something else from them. Bad experience.

Dear Sue Jackson,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to assist you further.

Our products are designed to enhance your Thermomix experience with high-quality, 100% compatible accessories at an affordable price. While they are not original Thermomix items, they are thoroughly tested for compatibility and performance, ensuring they meet the high standards our customers expect. As outlined in our policies, our accessories are not original Vorwerk products—a distinction that we make clear to ensure transparency and avoid any misunderstanding.

Regarding your request to cancel the order, we process orders swiftly to minimise delivery times for our customers. Unfortunately, once the order is in the shipping process, cancellations are no longer possible. However, we are committed to finding solutions that ensure your satisfaction even in such cases.

To address your concerns, we’re delighted to offer you $60 off the new version of our SmartSlicer. In addition, we will include a surprise accessory valued at $40, which will be automatically added to your package, at no extra cost. To access this exclusive offer, please contact us directly at info@culinary-family.com, and we will provide you with the necessary promotional codes.

Thank you for giving us the chance to resolve this matter. We’re confident this offer will not only meet but exceed your expectations and provide you with an enjoyable experience with our products.

Please contact us directly at contact@culinary-family.info, and we will promptly ship the missing item along with a special gift as an apology for this oversight. We aim to ensure complete satisfaction with your purchase, and we hope this gesture will help make up for the inconvenience.

We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to resolve these issues. We look forward to your email and hope to resolve the matter to your satisfaction soon.
