A seasoned reviewer with two decades of expertise in smart home and connected technology, having previously contributed to notable publications such as Wirecutter, Wired, Dwell, BBC, and US News, has shared insights on the latest innovation in kitchen gadgets.
The Thermomix TM7, the highly anticipated successor to the TM6, has been officially launched in the United States today at a price point of $1,699. The TM6 has been a staple in many kitchens, and its owner has relied on it for an array of culinary tasks, from morning smoothies to dinner preparations.
This upgraded all-in-one kitchen machine is engineered to replace an array of countertop appliances, featuring capabilities such as weighing, chopping, whisking, steaming, sautéing, slow cooking, and even fermenting. A key enhancement of the TM7 is its expansive 10-inch touchscreen, supported by a faster multicore processor. However, there is concern over the absence of a physical dial, as users will interact solely through the touchscreen, which provides comprehensive control along with access to 200 built-in guided recipes. An additional Cookido subscription, available for $65 annually, unlocks further recipes.
Design and Software Enhancements
The TM7 boasts a sleek black redesign, an open-lid cooking feature, and a more spacious steaming basket. Vorwerk, the company behind Thermomix, has completely overhauled the software platform to allow for significant future updates, including the potential introduction of voice control.
While the TM6, which debuted in 2019, has been phased out, Vorwerk assures consumers of a decade of ongoing support for the device.
