Concede

I don't think anyone can say I don't LIKE the Machine, or don't LOVE it even.  I am convinced that it is well worth having if you have the money - even 3/4s of it - available to spend.  Depending on the size of your family, dietary needs, and eating habits, you could save the cost of it between 9 months to 2 years.
Times like this, this morning spent with my good friend who started this whole deal, I am particularly keen and convinced of its merits.

Garlic bread, chunky basil dip, chunky sundried tomato dip, tsadziki, avocado, carrot and sundried tomato. 

This very quick lunch was whipped up as I was in the process of having S's help to pull together some dips for a dinner party I was hosting that night.  In the meantime she had made pizza dough, and baked this gorgeous garlic bread to go with our accompaniments.
Money savings:
Each dip cost a couple of dollars to put together the equivalent of three or four dip containers from the supermarket, which retail at about $3-4 each.
Time savings:
This would have taken a total of an hour or so to prepare all of these items from scratch.  The Machine means you only have one "making bowl", and I only needed to come up with containers to store the finished items in.  Other than the knife which cut the bread and the carrots, and the spoon, there was little in the way of other dishes.
Space savings:
I'm realising the space in my kitchen is very valuable.  The Machine doesn't save you overall space, as I am sure your fridge would be fuller with raw ingredients, and there is the problem of storage of all the dry goods.  But the preparation space is a minimum, so as long as you have a good pantry arrangement, the overall benefit would be huge.
