Another article from one of Spain's leading news sources quoting the 1.6 million Thermomix units in Spain:

As to what I really think and believe. Easy, out of at least 100 friends and family members that I have in Spain, these include members of 5 households where there is a Thermomix. This, it turns out, conforms to (it might even exceed - others might have them I am not aware of), the 10% of households estimate. I would never have attempted to extrapolate from this tiny sample but it does fit in with the figures from the Spanish media.
AND I NEVER SAID THAT ALL THE UNITS ARE GATHERING DUST, just the ones of the people I know. It's you who are extrapolating here.
It may be hard to believe, but I do not know absolutely everyone in Spain.

It doesn't surprise me that you would rather keep to your emotional assumptions than accept that Spain is one of the largest markets for Thermomix.
