Thermomix TM7: what this new kitchen robot can do — and why everyone’s talking about it
A machine that chops onions, cooks soup, kneads dough, sautés onions, and practically says, “sit back, I’ve got this.” There’s a waiting list that can stretch to months, and the price tag is €1,549. Miracle, or madness?
I dug in so you don’t have to — here’s what Thermomix TM7 really is, and why some people already call it the “Godfather of the Kitchen.”
What does this thing actually do?
In plain English: everything except laying the table and doing the dishes.
-
Chops onions, carrots, garlic, nuts — no tears.
-
Mixes & kneads dough for bread, pizza, pancakes — and keeps the counter clean.
-
Cooks soups, risottos, stews, sauces, rice — without you babysitting the pot.
-
Whips: egg whites, whipped cream, mayo — no stand mixer needed.
-
Steams: fish, veg, dumplings — all in one tower.
-
Makes ice cream, jam, smoothies, melts chocolate — even warms sourdough starter.
-
New in TM7: “open cooking” — you can cook without the lid, so it actually browns/sautés.
If you did this with separate gadgets, you’d need a food processor, pot, scale, mixer, steamer — and probably a grandma to check your timing.
Guided cooking that feels like YouTube (without swiping)
There’s a big touchscreen with step-by-step recipes. Through Cookidoo® you get 100,000+ recipes laid out so clearly you’ll cook like a pro — even if your default dinner is “eggs on toast.”
Buying one isn’t like buying a toaster
Demand is wild. It’s sold through reps only, so you book a demo, get your questions answered, and then… wait. Meanwhile, you’ll daydream about your first Thermomix bolognese.
Should you get it?
-
Yes, if you cook daily and hate a sinkful of gear, sticky counters, and five gadgets for one dinner.
-
Maybe not, if your happy place is spaghetti + ketchup.
Owners say the same thing: “Once you use it, you can’t imagine cooking without it.”
About the price
When I first saw it, I thought: “That’s washing-machine money.” Then I read what it does… and now I’m thinking: maybe. Worst case, it looks great on the counter while I say, “Chef Blažek 2.0, you’re cooking today.”

Where to see it
Curious? Visit an official Vorwerk representative. They’ll demo it, cook something, and tell you when yours can start cooking.
This is not just a pot. It’s a kitchen assistant with a PhD. If it washed dishes, it’d be perfect — but every genius has a flaw. 😄
