The Thermomix TM7 has generated significant buzz in the kitchen appliance world, akin to the release of a new PlayStation. Following the Thermomix TM6’s debut in 2019, the long-awaited upgrade has finally arrived, and I’ve spent a month testing this innovative machine.

Design and Usability
The Thermomix TM7 breaks the mold of its predecessors with a sleek, modern design featuring a flat base and a large touch screen. The renewed exterior aesthetic with a black finish offers a sophisticated look, making it blend seamlessly into any kitchen décor
The glass container remains familiar in shape but is now encased in a plastic cover, reducing the risk of burns and simplifying cleaning with a convenient lever mechanism for disassembly.
Enhanced Screen Features
Thermomix TM7 Touch Screen
The TM7 features a 10-inch touchscreen, which provides a bright, sharp interface for users. Though this screen size may seem excessive, it enhances the cooking experience with intuitive navigation. Users can follow recipes step-by-step, weighing ingredients directly as they prepare, which enhances convenience and precision.
Cooking Experience
Cooking with the TM7 feels much like using previous models, though the elimination of physical dials in favor of a touch interface may require a brief adjustment period. The 100,000 recipes available on the Cookidoo platform can be accessed directly through the machine, although a subscription fee of €60 annually is necessary for continued access.
Performance and Quiet Operation
Quiet Cooking Ability
The TM7’s performance is impressive; it operates quietly, especially during low-speed settings. This is a surprising enhancement that significantly adds to the overall cooking experience, allowing users to multitask without disruptive noise.
Conclusion: Is the Thermomix TM7 Worth It?
The Thermomix TM7 represents a significant leap in kitchen technology. While the price tag of €1,549 is undeniably high, its versatility, durability, and modern functionality make it a worthwhile investment for avid cooks. If you’re upgrading from a much older model, the enhancements are compelling, while current TM6 users may want to consider their specific needs before making the leap.
Overall, the TM7 is not just a cooking appliance; it is a full-fledged kitchen companion that offers the convenience of modern technology along with exceptional cooking capabilities.
