Vorwerk has officially unveiled the much-anticipated Thermomix TM7, marking yet another milestone for fans of the innovative kitchen appliance. With its pre-sale now active, this latest model is set to replace the beloved TM6 and introduces various enhancements geared toward making cooking even easier and more enjoyable.
The TM7 will retail for 6669 zł, slightly more than its predecessor, TM6, which is priced at 6455 zł. Notably, for TM6 owners, Vorwerk has indicated plans for upgrade options, allowing customers to swap their existing device for the new model — though specific details are yet to be announced.
Vorwerk hosted a special event in Berlin highlighting the TM7's launch, attended by industry insiders and enthusiasts. Feedback from early users suggests the TM7, which occupies less space than the TM6, boasts user-friendly features. These include greater accessibility through its sleek design and enhanced operating system, which is not only more intuitive but includes more visual cues to assist users during cooking.
One of the most significant changes is the introduction of the larger, 10-inch touchscreen display. This new interface is expected to transform user experience, providing easier navigation and interaction with the device. It even allows for the addition of personal notes during cooking, filling the void left by the TM6.
New features such as intelligent ingredient weighing simplify the cooking process where the machine can automatically recognize and record the weight of added ingredients without manual confirmation - a welcome change for many home chefs. The TM7 will also introduce 'open cooking', permitting users to safely open the lid mid-cooking without interrupting the process, reminiscent of features found in modern washing machines.
With these upgrades, users can manage recipes seamlessly with Vorwerk's Cookidoo app, integrating their smartphones for easy recipe transfers and real-time monitoring of cooking progress. Vorwerk aims to deliver users precision cooking experiences, ensuring no step is miscalculated.
The TM7 promises to be quieter than its predecessor, thanks to sound-proofing technology, which allows it to operate with less noise — making it suitable for households where silence matters.
The launch of the TM7 follows nearly six years since the introduction of the TM6 and more than eleven years since TM5's release. Vorwerk has taken its time with the upgrade, focusing on quality and effectiveness based on feedback from users. This ensures the TM7 remains competitive against other kitchen robots on the market, such as the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot.
Vorwerk has maintained the availability of the TM6 model, offering it with premium accessory options for those not ready to make the jump to the TM7. This strategic move helps retain existing TM6 users as they still have access to enhanced experiences without losing out.
The pre-sale of the TM7 has already begun and will continue until the official full availability date on April 7, 2025. Customers interested must place orders through Vorwerk representatives, marking the end of significant online presentation-based sales processes.
Highlighted features of the TM7 model include:
- A larger, 10-inch touchscreen display.
- Advanced ingredient weighing capabilities.
- An innovative open cooking function, allowing lid access mid-recipe.
- Smartphone integration with Cookidoo for seamless recipe management.
- Enhanced cleaning program, minimizing the need for hand washing or dishwasher use.
These improvements reflect Vorwerk's commitment to developing technology-driven solutions for modern kitchens, and they are eagerly awaited by both current Thermomix users and potential buyers.
Vorwerk's focus on the consumer experience continues to resonate well. There’s no doubt demand for the new TM7 will be strong, especially among those who have previously enjoyed the TM6. Customers are ready to wrestle with the all-important question: Will this new gadget justify its price point, or will it leave them longing for their older models?
